@@marcuslow1386 Harkbelial is correct. Chris does a fantastic job at what he does though, don't get me wrong. BUt consider that most large scale jobs all start with a site clearing, which is basically all this is so it's a common thing that happens on all large jobs.
@@fox13z400 Thanks for the response. I am not from the US and not familiar with the industry. But I do watch most of Chris's video as I like his demeanor and his work attitude.
I was thinking he was referring to that TV commercial a few years back. a guy yanks on a cord in his house, power lines get pulled over, gps satellites get off course and the lady drives off the road because the gps said turn now. It is pretty funny.
Hey Chris, What A Huge Difference In The Lighting On The Back Of The House, Now The Kids Don't Have To Go Out And Play In The 'Haunted" Forest Anymore!!! LOL What A Vast Improvement!! Well Done Sir, Well Done!!
Prolly your most suapenseful video I can remember! When the 330 hydraulics drag a 40 ton machine, that's impressive. Nice to see the two machines working together!
Wow. As complicated as it was getting that tree down, I hate to think of the machinations to get it down safely without both machines. Even saw-cutting would be fraught with danger to you and the house. Once again, you showed the world you are a master of your machines, getting them to work magnificently. Thanks for sharing this, Chris. It was fun.
That’s the first time in a long time that I saw you forward roll your root-rake. And no less with the 330. Those were some wicked roots. That was a great job dropping that tree and by yourself with 2 Machines, that’s gutsy. Great job.
That tree was a little fella when that powerline was installed. Yeah that rain was crazy. My son was covered in dust on Friday and mad and then Monday he was caked in mud and mad. LOL! Never seems to be anything inbetween in NC. Excellent work as always.
Pulled a 8x12 shed 3 miles down the road on telephone poles. It was too wet to put it in place so I waited a week till it froze good. Moved it a 100 ft and it completely collapsed into nothing except a pile of wood on the floor. Took a week to dig through it. I had some stuff in it nothing really important, but I didn’t want it in the yard. Made a nice fire.😊
I'm waiting for DP to turn up with his saw on a stick contraption. Good skills on the tree felling It seems very peaceful there ,birds chirping, suppose they need to find new trees to nest in
@27:36 i went back a few time's to watch the cable come out of the box😂had to zoom in X8.5 😂. Gotta like how calm Chris is staying with this hole ordeal, hats off to you. 🧢 God Bless and ya'll have a great day.
As the Trees get bigger, the Machines get bigger. You have shown what a motivated Operator can achieve with skill, passion and a little creativity. Ready to take on just about any job, Big or Small.. I enjoy watching your Dreams come true also.. Thanks for sharing. 😄
@@gold-diggersanonymous1085 Is the 350 really any better, or is he just doing smaller trees at the moment . More digging is required in order to make an informed decision .
This video was fun to watch. Lots of logical prep work and exciting suspense leading up to the big fall. You spent a lot of time digging roots and it all was necessary. 👍👍👍
You are making good progress taking down all those big trees and as always no damage to any surrounding structures. You’re going to have a lot of very large stumps to burn and you’re going to need a lot of brush to burn them. Great video as always Chris. I’m looking forward to seeing the following videos.
☘️🇮🇪🇺🇸 I’m telling ya the whole stadium would have stood up cheering Chris, you are definitely the king of the hill - your moves each perfectly planned with absolute precision…. And that shot of you running between the two behemoths put in true perspective how HUGE that tree and those machines really are!!! Again thank you, your calm demeanor certainly belies the booming that you confessed to going on in your chest. Blessings Chris you’ve taught a great lesson once again Southern Men Rule!!!
Chris, Great Job on safely bringing down the big tree by the house! I love the care you took to not make a big mess. Some would not even have thought about the electrical.
It would be wise for people to listen to Chris. He knows what he is talking about. Chris has so many videos waiting to be shown. Watching them makes me wonder what day of the week it actually is. But I love it when I get the notification. It really makes my day.
Chris you never cease to amaze with your knowledge of the how to get it done and all with safety first attitude the difference between when started till now just a vision Cheers
You are amazing Chris, taking down those trees with such precision is always stressful. You don't use your grapple much but when you do you run it like it's just another bucket. That's looking better every day.
It would be daft to say. That all the years of you workin for family. You have built a solid workforce of machines to tackle anything that comes your way. Experience pays the bills. Love your channel.
I was an excavating contractor also. When faced with the problem like this we would carefully uncover the power lines from the house past the tree and roll them up. Complete the tree removal and re dig in the service. Here where I live they will not do underground splicing. So any damages to the lines means a whole new service line. If you dig through power lines without having contacted the power company you better have good insurance.
so easy to forget how big these machines and trees are when you see it from the cab then at about 31mins when you walked from the 330 to push the tree over you looked so small in comparison! Huge trees and root balls
Wow, that place looks like a war zone with that big tree down, that would have trashed that house, if all they have to do is splice that powerline and run it back to the box, that`s not bad, not bad at all, well done sir.
Those were some serious roots on the big one by the house. Picked the 330 off tracks a few times, not mention stalling the hydraulics out on digging the rooter through.
Commonest cause of tree rot like that is the fungus _fomes annosus_ It's a big problem in the UK & Europe too, costing billions a year in damage, mostly to pine & spruce.
The next Workday on the Abandoned Farm. You root out a large Number Trees round the old Farmhouse. That a clearing to origin what this Wood Hous a beauty Charme give. The Barn give You a new Position. The Planing from the new Formation make the Work Interesting. Excellent Video however. 👌
I do not imagine that there is another Company around that could do this job. Folks are lucky to have you.
There's plenty of companies that can do that, there's nothing special about this kind of work.

You breathed a big sigh of relief when that one fell. I was very happy to see you get the 220 off of it. Did not want to see it flipped on it's side!
You won the day with the big tree. Expertise and two excavators prevailed. Great job.

Amazing how much work a skilled operator can accomplish with the right equipment. Great job.
Every step of this operation was poetry in motion. Well done Chris, it's a pleasure to watch you in action.
Man!!! When I see the "tracks" sliding across the grass, I can just imagine the power that is being put out by that huge machine!! Very impressive.
Your amazing !! What a beautiful farm/ranch you are giving new life too. 👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸♥️
Nice rigging on the shed you got the skills that’s for sure nicely done 👍😎🇺🇸 NY

It seems very peaceful there ,birds chirping, suppose they need to find new trees to nest in
They will- there’s a lot of forest left.

Now that you're using the 330 for tree work , have you asked yourself " how did I ever do this with the 220 " ?

Great work with that big tree and working the two machines.
1 tree - 2 excavators - 1 operator - TIMBER! Success!!
Chris: "I need a Pepsi! Make that two!"
That was amazing to watch! Good Job! When you moved that shed, I knew that tree had you a little uneasy!
High winds usually snap those pine trees like twigs first too. So it was definitely a good idea to get all those away from the house.
Good job!!! You took those big trees down smartly.
Brilliant video LetsDig18. Scary movies have nothing on this one. Beautiful work showcasing safety measures, planning and experienced skill. Loved it.
I saw you moving that little house and I was like: You can do it Chris,You can do it!!! And there You are. There's nothing imposible fou You Chris.
I like the idea of leaving the grapple up and open. Just in case the tree took a bad turn. Great work in cramped confines.
Very nice to work with good equipment. And an excellent operator
You said a Big tree .. at 24:00 it makes the 330 look like a scale toy RC model .. that tree is seriously BIG !!!
Thanks for sharing 🇨🇦
When you move the shed I kept saying “ keep going, keep moving “ and held my breath lol you made it and I was breathing again 😊
A stressful take down for sure i puckered to well done Chris 👍👋🇨🇦
Great job Chris
That was awesome Chris great job !!! You are so good at what you do although I am scared of those huge trees 😅
Chris going from machine to machine around that tree put into perspective the scale of the job.
Awesome job Chris just love your videos They bring me great joy

Congratulations on a successful job.
Man the 330 is a beast and the 220 with the grapple makes that job look so easy peasy.Nice job bud
Howdy Chris! I hope all is well. Take care and God Bless ya Brother!!!❤😊
a few nice looking saw logs.
The 330 with a stumper, the 220 with a grapple, and Barney the haul truck. Quite a combination, Chris.
Good afternoon!
That tree was really in there. Thought a few times splintered pieces of hard root would fling up and smash your windshield. Good job 👍
Great jobs you really are an expert. thanks for sharing.
Enjoyed this video bro it shows being prepared is so important when dealing with power cables. Safe travels. Ken.
Good job.
Your experience shows with taking that tree down. You make it look easy when we know darn well it’s a nail biter!

Great job Chris , that was tight.
That was surgical Chris! beautifully done, A little extra sweat on the brow, but you pulled it off!
Exceptional finesse!
Really close quarters, good job Chris
i totally enjoyed watching the video Chris 😊
I worked for a telephone company and an excavator is an exceptional buried utility locator
Absolutely Great Job!!!

Whatever you do, don't disturb the grass.
Has the 330 exceeded the 400 hours per year that you predicted yet?
I was fully expecting to see the forks poke through the floor of that shed. As always, thanks for sharing.
When you walk from machine to machine, you realize how big that tree was next to the house.
Those were some serious roots on the big one by the house. Picked the 330 off tracks a few times, not mention stalling the hydraulics out on digging the rooter through.
