Can tell you take pride in a job well done Chris. Everything always looks so nice and tidy when you're done. It's a real pleasure to watch. Thanks for taking the time out of your busy days and sharing the videos with us.
Dustin Finley, thanks! I'm currently running about a week to 10 days behind on editing. I'm also doing a livestream on Sunday, June 10th, from 6-8pm central. I may run a little past 8. Who knows. Lol
It almost looked like you needed a 5 point harness and bucket seat for that job, you were fairly close to getting a face full of dirt if anything went wrong on that bank !. That was cool of top crane to send you those mounts, He's actually an "anti gravity engineer". One of my friends that sadly died used to say that was his job. He lived in a real expensive apartment block in England, and used to work for a company that liked the drivers to wear a smart shirt, pants and tie. All the guys that lived there and worked in offices with computers always thought he worked in a fancy research lab, they never clued in he worked in a crane cab operating it, now they are the smart people for ya L.O.L. Thanks for sharing, Take care
Chis I watch every one of your videos. could you please show more of your operator on the small track machine doing his thing. I think this operator is just great. He is just fantastic how he operates it. Thanks.
John Smith, sd cards aren't affected by magnets. Standard HDD drives are. But, solid state drives are not. I use those same mounts on my GoPros with 128 micro sd cards in them, no issues.
I accidentally put my phone on some welding magnets (there was a rag over top of them so I didn't see) turned my phone into a paper weight.... be careful
That old pipe for overflow looked very small. I set up just the same for Go pro and Dumpy reciever to attach to machines, the easiest and best way i think.
Have a breached dam on a cow pond that came with house purchase. Water level getting low as it continues carving out a deeper path. Scared to find out what this project will cost. Looks very similar to this repair. What kind of a ballpark cost did this project run?
How much dirt did you need to fix the back side of the pond? Did you have enough dirt on the property or did you have to get dirt brought in? If so how many yards was needed. Sorry for all the questions but I'm born and raised in Las Vegas and closest thing to a pond out here is the swimming pools. I love to learn as much is possible so I have new tools in my tool box.
Great job as always Chris! To The Top Crane sent me one of those mounts as well, and it’s awesome! He is actually about 3 hours north me. No more changing mounts throughout the day. I’ve made a few videos with different camera angles on my 250 and dump truck. If you take the silicone off the back of the mount you almost can’t take it off what you put it on! My channel is just Elite Earthworks LLC if you feel like checking it out, still very new to this whole UA-cam thing! Thanks for sharing!
Elite Earthworks LLC, try throwing a paper towel between the mount and whatever you are sticking it to. I have not tried it. So, I have no idea how it will work out. So, make sure it is in a situation were you aren't going to lose your camera or damage it if if falls off.
I was thinking about one of those articulated buckets I've seen on a lot of European and Scandinavian smaller excavators especially. Chris would be able to make his Yanmar that much more 'flexible' with one of those buckets, especially too, on this job.
Hey Chris, my Pond was finished last week. Found a spring in the bottom of it upon completion. Has already put couple feet of water in it. Is this good or bad? Will the water reverse flow and drain the Pond once full?
a different kind of versatile. so many things you can do with it when grading a road. so many controls for so many different things. should have said that before. A backhoe would be almost as versatile as a Excavator/Trackhoe but lacks that maneuverability of one. A skid loader is versatile in that it is a compact machine and can get into places a Loader can't.
In case no one else has told you, you guys do some mighty fine Dam Pond work.

Thanks for the shout-out Chris! Great video! Sorry I didn't comment sooner. I just got the boom put back together in our 100 ton crane.
To The Top Crane did you get any video?
Dustin Finley, I got some. It was quite the pain. So, the footage is limited. However, I'll get it edited and uploaded in a week or so.
To The Top Crane awesome. Looking forward to it
Dustin Finley, thanks! I'm currently running about a week to 10 days behind on editing. I'm also doing a livestream on Sunday, June 10th, from 6-8pm central. I may run a little past 8. Who knows. Lol
Tripple T Magnet Mounts, going on sale soon! lol.
Nice work Chris,..especially the way your buddy is operating that Skid Steer!
Should last a good long time now, unless you get one of those humungus rain falls !
Thanks for sharing and take care. 👍

You do really good work. Thanks for the video.
Hey Chris? Hi from the UK. Thoroughly enjoying your videos and humour. Would love to see your straw blowing and seeding methods.
Hey this is at my work!!! I saw you guys working on it yesterday and today.. Had no idea it was you. I would have stopped and said hi!
Tim really knows how to run that skid steer that's a fast machine it's not lacking in the pep
That excavator sounds like it's loose as a goose with all that rattling noise
As always Chris you never disappoint great watching you work have a good one
Chis I watch every one of your videos. could you please show more of your operator on the small track machine doing his thing. I think this operator is just great. He is just fantastic how he operates it. Thanks.
yeah, hes better than me on it. But I try to stay off of it, I get sick feeling running it
Keep them magnetic mounts away from your wallet. Bank cards + magnets is not a good combination.
SD cards and memory too !
John Smith, sd cards aren't affected by magnets. Standard HDD drives are. But, solid state drives are not. I use those same mounts on my GoPros with 128 micro sd cards in them, no issues.

The repair on the pond dam looks great!
That old pipe for overflow looked very small.
I set up just the same for Go pro and Dumpy reciever to attach to machines, the easiest and best way i think.
top marks for NOT hitting the tree this time lololol
oh come on, we all saw what happened in the " justins new volvo " video hehehe

To The Top Crane good idea. I had to pry up with my knife under the corner today when I stuck it to my bucket! Lol
Elite Earthworks LLC, I told you they were pretty strong magnets. Lol
To The Top Crane yeah you weren’t kidding!
Great looking finished project!
….13
Thank you Chris,looks good 👍
Another good video. Those magnets aren't going to cause the cameras to go wonky?
How you liking the TL12? I have not met anyone that has had a bad experience.
Hey Chris long time subscriber here, what are them magnets made from or where from
Let’s Dig which controls do you use the most John Deere or caterpillar?? Also which is better to get use to??
cat on all the excavators
deere on the backhoe
This dudes the freaking man! Dam good
Chris, you need a bigger bucket mate! ;-) ;-)
Greetings from Belgium.
Maybe just too much trouble.
I was thinking about one of those articulated buckets I've seen on a lot of European and Scandinavian smaller excavators especially. Chris would be able to make his Yanmar that much more 'flexible' with one of those buckets, especially too, on this job.
Very expensive, and only really shine in the tighter environments that are much more common in Europe.
from your standpoint at 3:16 how tall was the dam? Also is it possible to build a 70 to 100 foot tall dam without use of concrete?
The people there need to learn if they want a pond built right need to call on the man. Chris.
I mounted a GoPro on my mini x and it’s pretty shaky footage. Do you use a gimbal or are you just a better operator? Haha. We know the answer.
You're a bad ass you can do anything and make it look good.
What size rock did you use on the spillway?
Pond needs a little digging out, too👍
Hey Chris, my Pond was finished last week. Found a spring in the bottom of it upon completion. Has already put couple feet of water in it. Is this good or bad? Will the water reverse flow and drain the Pond once full?
no you should not have to worry about that. That is always a very good sign of a good pond site when water flows to it
Is there codes you go by for pond & dam builds/repairs?
Thank you.
4:1 buckets are great for utility but weak on capacity
Especially when they are half empty.
I call bullshit on that one in Australia thats all we use are 4 in 1 buckets
Boitano Excavation Wat does that matter 4 in 1 buckets are the best thing
HI there, why are you putting down a layer of straws?
Boom cam with the go pro now?
Have you ever considered a sheep's foot roller for your excavator in these cases?
will all those trees growing on the dam weaken it?
Did you guys spread that straw by hand or do you have a straw chopper/blower?
straw blower
Chris you know your job very well outstending job you made .
One little skidsteer of dirt at a time. Geesh!
S. W. Chandler little skid steer that a tl12 the bigest skidsteer any one makes
What is your thoughts on yanmar vio 35
Do a tour or all your machines
My dam is much worse. I wish you could work here.
Cool gifts.
That ole'boy can run the shit out of that skidsteer
Are you working in RTP?
Isn't there a compaction attachment for mini excavators?
Yes, it's called a sheeps foot and apparently he doesn't own one...
@@matthewwarfield4302 Thanks I thought I had seen one before
Nice!!! ( Dam good work!!)
Lumpy Clumpy clay. Say that three times real fast lol
Are you saying his channel shows its highs and lows? His work really has its ups and downs?
Ohh Paul the crane moves things up and down lol
Aaron 1113, crane work does have its ups and downs. 😉
To The Top Crane
Gotta have some side to side also or it wouldn't work as well ! ✔ 😉
Ken Gamble, I suppose that's true too! Lol. 🙂
Excavators/TrackHoes. the most versatile piece of heavy machinery. the Road/Motor Grader is second.
LUNITIC WILL how is a grader more versatile than a track skid loader or a backhoe?
a different kind of versatile. so many things you can do with it when grading a road. so many controls for so many different things. should have said that before. A backhoe would be almost as versatile as a Excavator/Trackhoe but lacks that maneuverability of one. A skid loader is versatile in that it is a compact machine and can get into places a Loader can't.
well did you drain the swamp? lol
idk aint been there in 2 weeks
For the love of God please start time lapsing from a remote tripod while you work. We don’t like missing all the action!!!!
