My sons and I have been watching your videos for years. We do a lot of heavy equipment work in the oilfield. But still love watching your videos after a long days work. I have learned a lot about dirt work just watching your channel. Keep up the great work man!
@@fartzinacan neither here nor there. Its still cool to see him in a walk through with who is paying his wage that job if its an employee or John Q. Public.
He got that Right !! Chris will fix it...... Looks Great Chris !! As always Man, love the Pride you have in your work, that's how you get a good name, and you have it !! You give a 150 % on every job you do , and it shows !! Have a Great Evening Man !! On too the Next..
To the land owner.. Plenty of us have voiced our opinions on the 0% interest thing but what is important is that YOU MADE IT HAPPEN! I love the fact you have your family with you and you and are making awesome moves. The property looks great and I like the evergreens you put in and you had the good sense to put in hydrants in to put water on them. If you have a UA-cam channel post it up and I’ll follow. Congrats to you and your family.
I'm just totally amazed with your work. You make everything look soooo easy. Is there a piece of equipment you can't run. I've been watching your videos and have learned so much, your truly are an artist!!! Keep up with the vids. Enjoy watching them
I was worried you were gona plough through that row of new trees 🌲 great footage Chris , dry as hell there now , here in 🇬🇧 UK it’s the wettest may on record .
@@toddreynolds8875 He probably saved some money as he will most likely be able to use his equipment for future use, and has the satisfaction of doing the work himself. That being said, he probably called the pros in at the right point, when the job exceeded his capabilities.
The rake on that dozer is Working great man.it did a nice job in that House site.looks good.luckily it didnt rain on that day otherwise it would have been a sticky muddy ground To work on. Nice video Chris 😀
You got her looking good Chris, baby is a smooth as a babies butt, lol. Another great video man you and your family and John and his family stay safe keep the videos coming brother. Hey we’ve been missing out on a couple days you must’ve took some time off but you well deserve it
June 10, 2021 seeing this video Chris and it’s really dry there but I’m willing to share all the rain we have been getting here in central Mississippi and it looks great there with all your hard work completed congratulations on a job well done
The tracks on your dozer have a distinct sound. It would be hard to mistake it for a CAT, Deere, or another brand. When your going forward it sounds like a locomotive with the tracks and engine together. When you're backing up, it's all track sound.
So, here I am in my dozer, scared to scrape too much dirt because I don't want to clear all the topsoil. Meanwhile, Chris is making huge mounds of dirt. I'm now going to get a rake attachment, and after raking, I'm thin scraping the top like Chris. I'm not afraid anymore. 😆😆
Man,I felt I was on the dozer myself! I got a lot of dust in my nose! Great job Chris! I still think you should take more jabs at Tater,he sure does take a lot of jabs at you!😂🤣
Good to see the rake-blade in action maate..an X bully op. HD 21 Allis Chalmer dozer .. forestry mahi, clearing region's after harvest logging,.wind-rowing n fire-breaks..fond memories after watching your videos.. kaapai presente e hoa ✌️ 🦾 tutorial/ interesting.. relaxing with-a-coldie!?!Tino pai.. awesome 🤙✌️thnx👍😎
Some people who have not done the job always think they can "do it better". Until they try it; it takes years to learn how to do somethings. Flipping burgers is easy once you know what to do and how to do it. Till then, you will have a mess.
Just curious but there seems to be a lot of multigenerational properties in that area just based on the type of projects we have seen. Parents house will go there, kids house over there, etc. Is that common in the Carolinas? Up in PA I don’t hear of it much but perhaps I am just out of the loop. edit: to clarify multigenerational proprieties with different houses, I am accustomed to seeing multiple generation in a single house.
" Chris will fix it ". A true statement. I've yet to see a project you haven't fixed yet. When is the dredging job where the excavator was buried gonna start?
@@memyselfandifarmer LOL! Dealers don't like people who think they are entitle to a discount for "paying cash". Paying cash doesn't change anything. The only time it would matter is if you are talking about a crooked dealer who is cooking the books. (They exist; I worked as an inventory auditor for a few years.)
In this case, Chris was called in before a mess was made. Very wise of the homeowner. I have a small Case tractor and it takes a lot of time to develop the experience so you know what you are doing. Hiring a pro to do some of the work is almost always worth the time and the money.
The owner is clever. He does he knows he can do. But hires you Chris because he needs your skill. Without you showing he learned how the grade not just job . But how to go about it. Win win. Chris you really scored on your dozer. It is paying for itself off. Even the banker is happy.
with the title, you missed a great opportunity to do a Cris fix opening.. Hi guys it's Chris fix and today I will show you how to fix this lot full of sticks.
Great vid ! I didn't notice your machine had a swing blade , cool ! Are you grading for drainage or to get it flat ? come up here to New Hampshire . We have rocks the size of suv's ! We call them New Hampshire potatoes , lol
Cool shot of the dozer coming over the rise to the camera. You got rid of the squeak, what did you do. :) Is this the long drive way with the pond in back that you did last year?
Go back 3 or 4 months of 18's vids check out what rain fall looks like think he said they were wet for 5 months in NC.in the south we've been dry for almost a month.
Hay Chris i have the peeling that you in the moment to you on a machine seat her to turn one the same. What work you make you and the machine turn one. The feeling i have when I drive with a care. Your grading very good and this check you to eye. Greeting to Vienna
Theres a lot of time between some of the clips. Im amased at how swiftly you find your next job each time. It must come from a self earned reputation in your area.
Do you think there is a market for a something like a pan scraper that has a leading pickup like a root rake / rock picker, followed by a pulverized / blending stage that mixes the pulverized material with soil and then redepodits it as desired?
In a situation like this with the land already being so flat, I am curious if you considered using a tractor with landscape rake and box leveler. That dozer can push/pull with far more power than most tractors near it's footprint, but is all that power really needed when the land is so flat? That said I am NOT a dozer operator, just curious, not criticizing.
These kinds of jobs could be double edges swords. Nice to come do a simple job, but at the same time could turn into a can of worms. I have a PTO rock rake that would've done a nice job with all those little roots that fit through the rake on the dozer.
Well that is as nice as pie! What do you do when instead of roots you get rocks, and every 16 or 20 feet they get wadded up between the rake teeth, so you have to beat them out with a sledgehammer? Asking for a friend who can’t afford a Seppi or FAE stone crusher.
Yep, Chris can "fix it" - he likes pushing stuff with his dozer from Pa. Cough-cough,,,still quite dusty. That area looks familiar - like the new house above the pond expansion that had the L O N G driveway.
500,000 subs because this guy doesn't throw affiliates down your throat or ask you to "like and subscribe!" Great work.
I try to keep it real like I did from day one
@@letsdig18
👍👏
I wonder what the stats are like in terms of viewer and sub retention 🤔 hopefully pretty good.
He doesn't need to. He puts out good video that speak for themselves.
I have to say Chris, that's one of your most abruptly ended videos I've seen! Haha
What kind of asshole would thumbs down a construction video? One of the most transparent u-tubers out here, no click-bait!
My sons and I have been watching your videos for years. We do a lot of heavy equipment work in the oilfield. But still love watching your videos after a long days work. I have learned a lot about dirt work just watching your channel. Keep up the great work man!
It's great seeing you interacting with clients - puts a face to the project.
Isn't he one of the truck drivers?
@@fartzinacan neither here nor there. Its still cool to see him in a walk through with who is paying his wage that job if its an employee or John Q. Public.
@@muddawgkomm9642 it's not a critique of who the client is. He looks like one of the truck drivers from other videos.
Probably easier to do with his side job clients.
The Rake is Overqualified and does a Fantastic job cleaning up the tree roots. Beautiful Result. 👍
He got that Right !! Chris will fix it...... Looks Great Chris !! As always Man, love the Pride you have in your work, that's how you get a good name, and you have it !! You give a 150 % on every job you do , and it shows !! Have a Great Evening Man !! On too the Next..
Gotta appreciate it when someone knows enough about what they're doing to know what they can't do, and when to call in a professional.
Nice little Sunday project. Always nervous when owner does the work but he did a nice job removing stumps.
Good to see the owner planting a line of new trees
That view of the root rake in action is the bomb! Place is looking better by the minute!
To the land owner.. Plenty of us have voiced our opinions on the 0% interest thing but what is important is that YOU MADE IT HAPPEN!

Man, that dozer with the treeline behind it...like it was meant to be!
Gotta be happy with that if you're the customer. Great work. Custom rooter pays for itself again. Top content mate.

Believe Chris has more sense than a tree stump to do that.. .. .. ..
The lot looks really good and ready for your client.
Lovely job again chris l enjoy seeing you do jobs from start to finish keep them coming mate.
Looks like he did a great job for what he had to work with!
I thought so too. Good looking job for a home owner

hey mr. chris! that contraption you are running looks like something i would love to learn to operate. thank you for uploading this. please stay safe!
Most interesting to watch the rake work with the camera mounted on top of the blade. Good idea. Blessings.
The tracks on your dozer have a distinct sound. It would be hard to mistake it for a CAT, Deere, or another brand. When your going forward it sounds like a locomotive with the tracks and engine together. When you're backing up, it's all track sound.
As easy as it looked there is skill and the right machine behind it too. Safe travels
nice vidio my friend,, Chris Will Fix It Root Raking And Grading.
i like,,
Wow Chris what a beautiful job 💪🏿💪🏿💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾
That root rake does a very good job. Of course the operator of the dozer makes it a professional job.
Love the sound of the tracks!
Chris, you really understand to entertain us by all the different camera perspectives.
Looks great! Love that little dozer
I LOVE THE DOZER...I CALL IT THE BEAST....fantastic job as always...
Useing the right tool for the job...makes for a better end product! Well done good sir...well done!
Only thing better than watchin’ a dozer operatin’… is operatin’ a dozer. God blesss Chris and his family.
That black cap behind the exhaust pipe is the perfect place for a small letsdig18 sticker.
Enjoy your videos, The wife stopped by from noise out of curiosity, she had to watch for about 15 minutes before she had enough of pond digging.
So, here I am in my dozer, scared to scrape too much dirt because I don't want to clear all the topsoil. Meanwhile, Chris is making huge mounds of dirt. I'm now going to get a rake attachment, and after raking, I'm thin scraping the top like Chris. I'm not afraid anymore. 😆😆
That’s a nice little dozer you have there and you certainly know how to operate it, 👍
great job buddy and great video as always 😎👊🏻👍🏻 love the camera angle on the dozer blade
Man,I felt I was on the dozer myself! I got a lot of dust in my nose! Great job Chris! I still think you should take more jabs at Tater,he sure does take a lot of jabs at you!😂🤣
You have all the cool attachments chris, that rake saves you buying another specialty bucket or blade

Amazing job once again. I can tell you really do care about what you do.
All I can see is a big 8pt walking out in that lot or a big old strutter 👍. Nice work well done !!!
Hey Chris dozer needs LD18 decals to
Yes indeed it does, got to take care of the dozer to with the decals. Lol
And the skidsteer, backhoe loader, grader, farm tractor, and truck. Maybe the trailer too.
Thanks Chris for always delivering quality videos
Now when are you gonna start selling those LD18 stickers
Trying to support the youtube family👍
I like to think dislikes are the people who say they can do as good a job, but really can't.
Some people who have not done the job always think they can "do it better". Until they try it; it takes years to learn how to do somethings. Flipping burgers is easy once you know what to do and how to do it. Till then, you will have a mess.
You know there was nothing better after a sh*try day than to come home and enjoy the tranquility of this.
Lets dig 18 to the rescue and he made it look 100% better wouldn't have it any other way nice job Chris 😎👍
HELLO from las Vegas Nevada, thank you for the video, GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY.

In the south we kick their ass out at 19.
Beautiful result!
" Chris will fix it ". A true statement. I've yet to see a project you haven't fixed yet. When is the dredging job where the excavator was buried gonna start?
they managed to get it done or got someone else
@@letsdig18 that was gonna be a dandy. I'm sure they'll sink another excavator soon.
At 14.10 I thought you'd fallen asleep at the controls! - looked like you were heading off the reservation for a minute there...
Kubota having zero % finance won’t change DP’s mind
0% means they sold the item for a lot more then the average price. the do not loose money. ex- 0% at 50,000. cash price 42,000.
Equipment is pretty much the same as pickups. People have their brand preferences or dislikes and that's that. Not much will change many of them.

@@fredygump5578 yeah if anything dealers dont want cash, means less profit
@@fredygump5578 It actually does change things. Cash price is cheaper than the 0% price.
Very nice,that take is pretty slick
Looks really good and are there any scratches on the Dozer yet since you bought it Chris
Amazing work Chris.
Sure does look nice smooth and level!
Chris always fixes the messes his or ones left behind by others.
In this case, Chris was called in before a mess was made. Very wise of the homeowner. I have a small Case tractor and it takes a lot of time to develop the experience so you know what you are doing. Hiring a pro to do some of the work is almost always worth the time and the money.
Always wondered how they were able to grade so smooth, when the area was anything but smooth!
Awesome job Chris! Thanks for sharing.
It would be nice to see what a soil pulverizer would do to that after you got it leveled good job Chris but man it's dusty and dry
Hey Champ ,, keep the good work up . Enjoy watching u on utub 👌 John frm Melbourne/Australia
Cant believe it is so dry. I am coughing just watching.
We had over 1 inch of rain today in North Texas raining for 2 weeks straight.
I'm in New Mexico and we haven't had more than 1/8" of rain since last year. No monsoon. Extreme draught for the entire state.
1:10 that a water well on the little slab?
Great Rake and leveling Video. YT really hammered this video for commercials. I hope Chris collects his share on them....lol.
Nope. UA-cams new terms of service says that they can put as many ads on videos as they like. Get an adblocker, chris isnt seeing any of that money.
Agree with Mephison, get an ad blocker.
The owner is clever. He does he knows he can do. But hires you Chris because he needs your skill. Without you showing he learned how the grade not just job . But how to go about it. Win win.

Does it ever not rain in your neck of the woods? Much harder to do many types of construction in rain or wet conditions. Great job.
Go back 3 or 4 months of 18's vids check out what rain fall looks like think he said they were wet for 5 months in NC.in the south we've been dry for almost a month.
LETS DIG 18 ON THE SCENE
So, when are you getting the D10, 950 Volvo and 620 wheel loader? Mo power, mo power! 😆🤣
dont forget an A60 haul truck!
😆🤣 Have to change the name from LetsDig to SureICanTunnelToHawaiiFromHere.
Probably as soon as the old dude gets a pusher axle on his W-9 along with a jeep, bigger lowboy, and a tandem axle booster.
What advanced planing getting the root rake. : )
Likes all the dozer working out..

Everything looks nice!!
Got my letsdig18 fix... see u tomorrow
Do you think there is a market for a something like a pan scraper that has a leading pickup like a root rake / rock picker, followed by a pulverized / blending stage that mixes the pulverized material with soil and then redepodits it as desired?
You may not see this but…
I think a soil conditioner would cover that use. You’d just have to follow up with a sheep foot.
And on Today's Episode of "Chris Will Fix It . . ."
Chris just as dry in Florida told my guy's don't wear long pants and pass gas don't need dust storm out here.
Was that topsoil that you were working in, and if so why not stock pile it till construction is finished ?
New channel? Chris fixes it!
That guy has a great piece of land.
The Komatsu scenes are always shot from the outside so we don't hear Chris cursing it for how weak it is. :-D
Hi I woch your videos everyday tell the team I said hi and I woch thor videos everyday I love you guys I love the video
when you need it flat, call Chris out!
When in doubt, call Chris out!
