One thing I like about your videos, no intro, just get right into the content. I don't mind most of them but some guys get carried away with multiple minutes wasted on intro. You have excellent content, easy to listen too, and tons of videos at a steady even pace.
Nothing like watching a master at His craft .very enjoyable way to spend a hour ,Chris ,Clint ,and mike at the auctions in Florida fun times and very informative times
It was good to see you doing some clearing again. I’ve always really enjoyed watching your clearing videos. They are my favorites followed closely by your pond building videos. They may be my favorites but I enjoy watching everything you do.
Amazing how fast Chris ripped thru 40 feet of trees and underbrush on his way to clearing that path out to the burn pile area. Nice video to find in my YT feed after drinkng a cup coffee after an afternoon nap.
I’m surprised how wet it was where your parked the equipment comparison to the section next to the fruit tree plot.put lotta work into all the clearing you have done on this project.continue on and keep doing what your doing.👍👍👍😎😎😎good video.
Maybe a good option for Betty is to take off the 4 in 1 bucket and put on a nice big root rake brush grapple combo? It would move a lot of material very quickly. Nice to see the progress on this property from where it started. 👍🏻
I remember when you first started that one, had to dig a ditch all the way threw it to get it to start draining all the water off of it !! It really has come a long way from what it was til now. Looking better and better all the time !! Great as always Chris !! Have a Great Evening, And, On too the Next !!
Not sure why it's so interesting watching you dig......but it is. Your voice over is hard to hear, but from what I can make out, you have some worthwhile observations. Great videos. Subscriber from Iowa
Hi Chris, it's so nice to see you working again. The auctions are fun to watch, but you operating your machines are always awesome to watch. So I'm glad you're home. Have a great night, and have a great upcoming weekend. Be safe out there, and God bless you and yours
I hadn’t noticed in previous videos, but does your New 220 have the same reversing fan functionality as your older one? Didn’t know if that is something that is nice to have on when clearing to blow out leaves and debris. Great video!!
Enjoy yourselves down here in sunny Florida. Although for at least 2 days it was in the low 30s for the low and almost 50 for the high. Today, 2/23/23, the temperature is hovering around the 80-degree mark. Shorts weather unless you have nobby knees like have.
The clearing from thick Wood is not Problem for You.! The Trees and Thicket to Staple to Heap for the next Perfect Fire Day. 🔥 Very good Video, gladden my of the Next.
Hi Chis, I have been watching your channel for years, and I have a suggestion. When you film your outside progress from out of your excavator I noticed the audio is nice in loud, then when you get back in your seat and talk, the audio is soft. Did you ever consider looking at the DJI Mic system, or maybe the Road Go To Mic system? Either one would work great for your operation. You could put your GoPro camera out side on a tripod and have the mic clipped under your chin on your hoody and now you can record your voice at the same time. I have the DJI set, and I tested it. I had my camera mounted to my windshield of my car recording, and shut the door of my car, then walked out about 50 feet, and I got perfect audio. You might want to check that out. And It would really help when in your seat, you would get way better audio. Tell Dirt Perfect as well, and all you guys. I think that would be a plus. 👍
After the Auction Holiday a Man has to do some work - ha ! Lets Blaze that Trail and use the Big Boy - broken up Brush to the Burn Pile ! It was most enjoyable to watch You work and You do not fool around - pleasure ! Cheers from Australia !!!!
Is there a preference for excavators over dozers while clearing land? I think the excavator clearing procedure is more comprehensive, precise, and produces much neater mounds; it can also remove the larger trees; but I'm not sure which is best. I like keeping an eye on the shifting visuals on the excavator's upper screen, even though I have no idea what they represent or mean. I love these videos.
Was there something on your windshield making it blurry? Couldn't tell if it was your windshield or my glasses...lol. Also, wanted to thank you for being an example of a good work ethic. We had a couple meetings today and then took our 3 year old grandson, Siah, for supper and couldn't even get on the way home and he says, 'Can we go home now and watch the Ecavator Guy... he loves your videos. God bless and keep safe!
I am totally impressed with Chris' work ethic, but have always wondered if he has any hobbies, or family life. Wife? Children? Hankering for pool or AR-15's? I've watched quite a few of his videos, and it seems to be non-stop work, work and more work.
looked at your equipment spread video, you have come a long way. Comment on what you think of the Takeuchi track loaders what has changed between the TL150 and the new TL12; any thing noticeable or are they essentially the same machine.
You've missed a golden opportunity in this video. LOL... With all that tracking you were doing, you should have done the ole, 'Ahhhhhhhhhhh' as you were bouncing down that path you cleared. LOL...
Chris, a heated and air-conditioned cab on your fantastic Cat dozer would be wonderful. I was unable to uncover any information on it; perhaps it is not feasible or available? I once heard Clint at C&C say that it would be pricey but that someone probably makes something. Aside from the rain and snow, it would be good to see you out of the smoke, dust, ash, heat, and cold. Just wanting the best for you Chris.
Nope….hardly secondary. It’s a nice compliment but I guarantee you that he would find something else to do which paid if there wasn’t revenue involved.
Good day, Chris pinned a comment to the top of the comments, of the fist video on this job and then someone else commented on that with the titels, and publish dates of more videos on this site.
Those type of trucks are used to haul green hopfields after it has been harvested that's why the hydraulics this way they are because they don't have the tonnage that a normal dirt or Rock truck has

I learned so much from Chris watching him for no one else does as good a job as he does and I could operate a trackhoe now
Chris is a good 👍

Enjoyed seeing this site again. Impressive bit of work to drain it and now look at it. Good looking land.
Nothing like watching a master at His craft .very enjoyable way to spend a hour ,Chris ,Clint ,and mike at the auctions in Florida fun times and very informative times
Not Mike he talks too much.
Nice to see some trees hitting the ground again . Can’t wait to see the fire
It was good to see you doing some clearing again. I’ve always really enjoyed watching your clearing videos. They are my favorites followed closely by your pond building videos. They may be my favorites but I enjoy watching everything you do.
You've really transformed this property. Can't wait to see what's next! Thanks for sharing, Chris.
Such a change since you drained this property. Considering the rainfall recently, it’s holding well. Take care & cheers😊
Seen enough auctions, this is way better buddy :-)
Gooood afternoon from central Florida! Hope everyone has a great afternoon!
Man, the thumb of that Volvo works great!
Back to clearing in the New Bern area. Yes, it is lots dryer now since you 'drained the swamp' last year.
Thanks for the ride along sir, always a good fire when you touch them off.
Amazing how fast Chris ripped thru 40 feet of trees and underbrush on his way to clearing that path out to the burn pile area.
Nice video to find in my YT feed after drinkng a cup coffee after an afternoon nap.
Oh, THAT clearing project :D
I’m surprised how wet it was where your parked the equipment comparison to the section next to the fruit tree plot.put lotta work into all the clearing you have done on this project.continue on and keep doing what your doing.👍👍👍😎😎😎good video.
Looks better every time you do work on it 👍😎🇺🇸
I always enjoy the variety of work that you show. Not to much of one thing. Keeps it interesting.
Great job buddy and great video as always buddy 😎👊🏻👍🏻
Maybe a good option for Betty is to take off the 4 in 1 bucket and put on a nice big root rake brush grapple combo? It would move a lot of material very quickly. Nice to see the progress on this property from where it started. 👍🏻
LOOKIN' GOOD, NICE WORK, KEEP SAFE...
I’m jealous watching the volvo snap those trees, I’m struggling with this little 18k excavator trying to clear and build a pond.
I can remember when you started this project. What a swamp. Sure had been on amazing transformation. Thanks for sharing.
I remember when you first started that one, had to dig a ditch all the way threw it to get it to start draining all the water off of it !! It really has come a long way from what it was til now. Looking better and better all the time !! Great as always Chris !! Have a Great Evening, And, On too the Next !!
Nice work and it’s still raining in Tennessee buckets!
Why is watching excavator work so relaxing....?
Your design bucket ‘eats’ trees! Very impressive.
Not sure why it's so interesting watching you dig......but it is. Your voice over is hard to hear, but from what I can make out, you have some worthwhile observations. Great videos.

Thank you.
Surprisingly dry after all the rain for sure. Wonder how many times this area for example has been cleared and will be again. Time moves on.
Hi Chris, it's so nice to see you working again. The auctions are fun to watch, but you operating your machines are always awesome to watch. So I'm glad you're home. Have a great night, and have a great upcoming weekend. Be safe out there, and God bless you and yours
Probably the most straightforward title I’ve ever seen on a video lol. Nice content.
I hadn’t noticed in previous videos, but does your New 220 have the same reversing fan functionality as your older one? Didn’t know if that is something that is nice to have on when clearing to blow out leaves and debris. Great video!!
Unfortunately it does not
Nice! Seems like you prepare an UFO landing area. 👽

Think I'll make a 3 min road through the woods right quick lol big ass Equipment is nice 18!
Great additional video on cleaning job your customers love your work Chris great video thanks
Chris, I have been watching your Channel for a long time and I think this is the shortest Video you have ever made, great Video.
Good day,
You may not have gone back to the videos Chris started off with in 2009,
Back then the longer format videos was like 3 minutes.
@@dewalddejager5493 Thanks for responding, TJ
THANKS!
Good video and I remember this place , lots ove water .
I enjoy watching your show. You have my dream job. Keep them coming
Have fun at the auction buddy. Hope yall find some nice toys.

Good morning from Australia
Good job
I am a bit surprised that Mr. C didn't tell you and Kevin to be quiet in the shop. Keep up the content. The shop tour was very enlightening....
From what you started out with bro this property is a fair bit drier. Those drains you put in sure made a difference. Safe travels
You make it look so easy!
Great video 👍 👍
Good morning Afternoon evening and good night all
I’ll give you a dollar if you either don’t comment this same comment on the next vid, or comment something totally different…
Good night from Guernsey 🇬🇬.
I second that!!
@@minidigginwhy ?
@@jjMcCartan9686 - it is getting a bit old…
Chris, what do you do with all the ash from burn pile do you spread it as fertiliser?

Have you finished the pond job you was just doing with the long reach?
Snaps a 6 inch log like a match!
kinda relaxing job, as jobs go.
Good job brothers 👍exciting job❤

What would be your ultimate machine to own?
You need to show dirt perfect how to operate
I ran an excavator all weekend I like playing in the dirt too but this one was only 28hp
Hello from ct lov the channel
Enjoy the auction and some time away from the mud.
Better not let Biden know about that balloon. 😆
I am totally impressed with Chris' work ethic, but have always wondered if he has any hobbies, or family life. Wife? Children? Hankering for pool or AR-15's? I've watched quite a few of his videos, and it seems to be non-stop work, work and more work.
Nice job
Was this the place where the bamboo was?I wonder if it came back.
When I was cleaning around field edges I was shocked at how many balloons I found.
New camera, Chris? Video seems a little clearer\crisper to me along with the audio.
That place has come a long way since you showed up and drained the swamp.
Volvo everytime ❤️💪💪
You might enjoy clearing these small paths out with a fun bush hog ?
Nice 😊😊😊😊
looked at your equipment spread video, you have come a long way. Comment on what you think of the Takeuchi track loaders what has changed between the TL150 and the new TL12; any thing noticeable or are they essentially the same machine.

Where has Justin been?
Chris, a heated and air-conditioned cab on your fantastic Cat dozer would be wonderful. I was unable to uncover any information on it; perhaps it is not feasible or available?

That progressive thumb is the way to go.
Pile would be a great place for animals and insects. No need to burn.
Now let's see if you find a shopping cart .
I still think you need a tracked haul truck 😁😁
work, work, work, all work makes Chris a dull lad. But, wait... Chris does this for fun. The fact he get paid is a secondary issue.
Nope….hardly secondary. It’s a nice compliment but I guarantee you that he would find something else to do which paid if there wasn’t revenue involved.
Look around you might find some missile fragments from where the shot the Ballon down
Good day,
Chris pinned a comment to the top of the comments, of the fist video on this job and then someone else commented on that with the titels, and publish dates of more videos on this site.
Did that bamboo ever come back.
I watch everyday but I don’t remember this project
Hey great video, How you like the volvo
yey a baloon!! What next?
LetsClear18!
At least it didn’t look like a Chinese weather, balloon quote, spy balloon
good video
The auction videos have been great. Different content from my big 3.
If I'm not mistaken that truck you was looking at you couldn't figure out what it was for it's a harvesting truck
If this is really letsdig18 sorry I missed your Gmail there are many different farm equipment trucks
Those type of trucks are used to haul green hopfields after it has been harvested that's why the hydraulics this way they are because they don't have the tonnage that a normal dirt or Rock truck has
Waiting for the video clip of the new to you 550 or bigger to show up from the auction!! Great watching your videos
That would be awesome! I was hoping he would find a good high flow skid steer. He was talking about needing one.
Chris got a question for ya if the 550 had a thumb do you think it would be faster then the 220 at clearing ??
💯
Would the ground hold up the off road truck
♥️
Chris do you dream of trees?lol
