I could watch stone roll off a mold board all day long 😊 Meanwhile, how nice is to say: I think I’ll grab the loader, now the skidster, now the 220, now the grader, now the roller🤣 Don’t get me wrong, you’ve worked your butt off for all those tools, but how nice to have the right tool for the job! Lookin’ great!
Out of all the equipment I have watched you operate, the motor grader seems to be the most challenging. So many functions and so many levers. You make it look easy.
I'll tell ya what, pretty much anything that can be laid out on the ground from mud, gravel, stone, dirt to rip rap Chris can work it into perfection like an old school renaissance sculptor. It's definitely a pleasure watching him work his equipment. I really like watching him working his grader. Lots of hand work getting the blade just right.
That's a good load of topsoil for the farm and the gardens. And that road is going to be nice. The one that goes to your back pasture has held up so very well over the years and I bet this will do the same. Nice seeing Kyle help you with the skid steer and man can John spread the stone. He is a master with that dump truck. Thanks for bringing us along as you improve your farm.
John did a great job 'tailgating' the road base and you did an excellent job spreading and 'crowning' the road. Love seeing the grader working, my favorite road building tool!
You mean 6 inches of cutout, with fabric and 6-8 inches of rock that are graded crowned and compacted, with appropriate drainage pipes and ditches. I would say likely better than 99% of farm roads, and likely better than commercial planned dirt and access roads. He'll, I bet it outlasts most paved roads. 😂
Great job as always and that is one long road. Beautiful farm and I can always hear the happiness in your voice when a job is well done on the homestead 🚜🐄.
☘️🇮🇪🇺🇸 Chris you truly are an artist when it comes to moving & shaping earth. You SEE it as clearly as michangelo saw his statues within the marble. You love the earth & it shows, in your knowledge of the myriad types soils,trees, & stone. As for it being expensive, perhaps see it as a true investment/enhancement of property value, especially since you won’t have to repeatedly go back & repair, pull machinery out of mud pits etc. thank you for your calmness even when things go very awry blessings
Im sure the accountant will find ways of writing that financial out lay after all its an expenditure on farm improvements. Short term pain long term gain. Its more of a Hi-Way than a road, great stuff, it will last for ever with some minor annual touch ups.
Wow a lot of the dirt that came from that roadway of you cutting it in looks really good dirt to grow stuff, it looks really good and Rich some of us here in Georgia that would be great to use on a garden do have a good a really good crop for a year
It always cost more when doing your own because you always do more than than you started out to do and you want it prefect the first time great video thanks Chris I always do the same as you
Look like a concrete road Chris! Awesome job my friend and thanks for sharing and I hope you have a safe trip to Vegas brother! Can’t wait till you get back! Kirk from Lake Charles Louisiana! Sending prayers for you and your family! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👌🏻👌🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Man Chris you sure have some very Rich Soil on your Farm and you should be able to grow 🪴 anything you want and All of your Crops should do very well !
Looking good Chris. I understand about the expensive part. I had to put up a 60x80x16 cold storage, 100g went away faster than smoke in a 40 mph wind. At least we get to enjoy the end result, .... right? lol
I want to build an 80x120x16 building so I can have my machine shop and a nice shop to work on my trucks under the same roof. I'm afraid to get a quote. I know its going to be way more than I think it should cost.
Looking good a few more pond builds and yep you'll be perfect..it's given me an idea though on a very small pathway to build in my garden for the hedgehog walkway, pathway that will lead to the feeding houses I'm having made ..got a garden roller yep gravel rolled in will last a while.. westcountry UK out..
The old adage is proven again - The difference between men and boys is the price of their toys! That "farm road" is constructed better than many county roads!
That looks amazing!! So thankful to see green grass, none here in the Midwest yet. The road will serve u well as u made it solid. Thank u for video!!! God's blessings and stay safe.
That under the grader shot is money. Very relaxing. When you said you was going for the grader, I knew the roller was coming. Looked like a concrete driveway afterwards.
Tired of working my ass off all day to never get anywhere close to having a decent bit of land let alone the equipment to upkeep it. I've got the will just not the money. Happy for ya man. That must be such a relief at the end of the day and joy to look back at once you do something for YOUR property. Keep kicking ass man. Always fun to watch and take note for no reason.
Rye Grass is looking Good ! Continuing with Your Farm Road - Leveling out the Stone - hey - so much more Progress ! Brilliant View from Underneath - that was very Exciting indeed ! Nice and Smooth - a very Decent Road for sure - well done - but more to do ! Many Cheers from Australia !!!!
Looks like you got froggy and rolled it out. Chris im always so impressed with any job you do young man. Chris you are so young and just look at the amazing jobs and equiptment that lets you do such amazing work. Im just so proud of you my friend. You are so much like me. I want to do it right the first time or im not going to do it. God bless you my friend.
What a perfect way of complaining, Chris he does the best work, then anyone other it's for himself or a customer. He is such a gentleman, and I'm also proud of him. Thank you, Chris, for sharing your knowledge and videos
LOVE your Motor Grader ... great job all around on the roadwork !!! BTW ... if it'll make you feel better, if you have the County build a gravel road, it runs between $3-5 million a mile ... good investment on your part Chris !!!
The field & the road look fantastic. I love that grader, especially the undercarriage view at the blade. The first video I watched of yours Chris, was a long driveway with you using the Fiatallis FG65C back in March 2021, I was hooked. Take care & cheers😊
Road looks better than a lot of paved county roads around the US! I was half expecting Chris to get some clay and build a pond dam to keep the water out towards the woods on the right.
Chri that’s some fancy highway you’ve got for a farm track , I worked on a sheep and cattle farm here in Tasmania that is about 92 thousand acres and the only track like that was the main driveway to the homestead ,shearing shed , stockyards and the workers houses the rest are just two wheel marks where vehicles travel constantly, I’ll have to share this with my old boss show him what he is missing out on lol😂😂😂, keep up the great work all the best from Tasmania Australia 🇦🇺
Nice transformation. It might cost a bit now but over the years to come you'll be glad that you made the investment now. The costs will only go up. So in a way you're saving money.
The road looks great and I believe it was a good idea losing 3ft of grass is not good but not worrying about ruts and the mess they make is well worth the the loss.Easy access to move machinery around your farm area i think is very smart Chris 👍 7:20am 😎🇺🇸NY
🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟Our local rock pit prices went up 4 times last year - by end of October I was paying litterly double for the same load i was 3 months before.. Most people go to the valley 45 to 50 miles away for it and deliver back here in Siletz.. Looks great, the green grass and grey road looks good :)
Limestone is some expensive stuff! We are in the middle of building a house and my nice lime stone driveway is toast. I hate to see what it cost to replace now days.
Hi Chris. I'm a non farmer and non digger. I write code for MS Excel and play poker for a living. But somehow, I stumbled across your channel a couple of years ago, subscribed and have been watching ever since. I have multiple monitors on my office system. So I can work on one monitor and watch your channel on another. Believe it or not it helps me work better when I watch. Haha.
The road is great, for sure, but I keep looking at the rye grass. Once the nitrogen gets going along with the warmer weather that pasture is going to look mint!
You ever need some paving done, I'll bring my equipment down if you supply the materials and trucking. Haven't ever worked in the Carolinas. Been in Florida and west Virginia, that's about the closest I've came.
No problem with the nitrogen sprayer having ground clearance 😂😂😂, the road is a job that needs doing, like everything, if u need it it’s expensive, but it will be fantastic by the end
Got it looking really good Chris !! I bet you are running up a pretty good bill with all those loads of gravel, trip charges, Fuel , ect...But, you got it laid in there nice man, does look really good going down along the fence row there !! Great as always Man, Have a Great Evening, And, On too the Next !!
Seeing this, I’m getting impatient to see when you start digging your pond brother! Your farm is going to look and be amazing my friend! Can’t wait fast enough! lol 😂
Got to hand it to you Chris, you're good on the skid steer but there is no substitute for the grader. If I was younger I would offer to donate some time to help you !
