Chris I have been watching you for what over 4 years and I have seen how you have gotten so much better at what you do. You learn as you go. I worked on the CN railway for 31 years I never stopped learning things to better my job or my self and my mind. I can say you are the same. God bless you and stay safe sir. I so enjoy your videos thanks so much for posting.
Someone shared a video of a big wrecker trying to pull a concrete truck back onto a built up dirt road on facebook the other day. The concrete truck was only a little tilted at the back because the driver couldn't back up and stay on the road at the same time, then with the assistance of the wrecker (whose operator didn't know what they were doing either from the way he had it rigged up) it ended up on it's side and flung the driver (who for some reason was stood on the passenger side step during the winching) out onto the ground.
Hey Wildman I just looked and found almost a gallon of Volvo paint renewal product. it will restore the shine on any older paint that is faded if you want it you can have it. all you have to do is wash the machine and spray this on.
We used to have trouble with different substances hanging up in the bed until we screwed UHMW sheets into the bed. Slick as you might think. You can get it from most commercial places that sell conveyor belting.
Nice video. Do you think you could you do a video with the drone and explain all you have done in this big project, I get a little lost on what your working on.
I've seen truck videos in russia that has the exhaust outlet of the engine connected to the dump box, I guess that will keep the box warm and prevent the material from getting stuck
I'm really enjoying these videos of the ponds. I just want to say that I know nothing about an excavator and this statement will probably make that obvious. I've seen you go backwards in other videos but as I was watching you, no matter which way your bucket was facing you pushed the peddles down. Is it, which ever way your bucket is facing, is that forward? Thanks and stay safe!
I agree, all the cement trucks today have a wash down hose because they can get fined if stray concrete falls onto a road surface .And while it's wet you can flush the bucket clean using his hose .
I was wondering how you were going to get the concrete down there. Fergeson the compactor company made a tow behind compactor that was towed with a dozer or wheel dozer that had 4 large tires and a bo that had 4 large concrete weights. If I remember right it weighed 50 tons for building dams. You have convinced me on the truck as a compactor. With the tires you get some nice compaction.
I mean some of the osh kosh front loader trucks we have up here can be damn bears if it was wet 3 months ago. At least when there loaded. But even in Massachusetts they'll go down the damn hill. They just might not get back up
Wow you guys do a great job but what surprised me the most is at the end of the video when you made the comment that you had to scauhdoole I haven't heard that word in many many years you surprise me with that one Young fella
wow...them drivers around here will pull up on about anything but loose backfill unless its flat..that slope is pretty mild looking for him to back down there
Will you be able to finish before the water really becomes a problem? Looks like it's gaining on yall........ Also will you go back and take the coffer dams out?
Nothing like a site Foreman who tries to continually justify why he shouldn't have a job. 22mins 50 seconds he brings proceedings to a stop, again for no reason as after his 'statement' you simply carried on with no alteration to work process. But he needed to stop work process so he can pontificate. I admire your patience. He was a nuisance distraction I'm sure
Stephen Keefer some times I think uncle would be better off to say hear Chris go do this job and let me know when your done. But we know uncle is the boss for now. Lol
Hey Chris do you use what kind of grease gun? do you use a hand,air , battery what brand if power. the older i get the less my hand likes the squeeze . you have a helper for that ? or is it you? i wish i had a service rig again instead of handThanks for any ideas work.. You get a free pass for fishing when this gets done?
The guy in the white t-shirt (assume he's the project civil engineer) is sure short on people skills, But, again, he's there cuz he knows his stuff. Just sayin'. 😎
Buy a 5 gal bucket of Form Release (www.advanceconcreteform.com/product_detail.php?id=608&cid=26) from Advance Concrete Forms. Mix it 5:1 with diesel in a pump up sprayer and spray your bucket and shovels next time you have to transport concrete and you wont have to worry about it sticking.
That was a lot of money for concrete . I don’t know how much they charge for a yard but Wooten is like $131.00 a yard . But if you gotta have it you gotta have it . But great job as always
Wowww. We are 103. Per yd. But we have a massive amount of natural gravel and clean chrushed stone in this area. All front loaders for past 30 plus years
Hell building my dads mobile home park we would build the pads for the mobile homes up and then use a truck loaded to the gills and then some to pack the select fill. That was done in 2001 and those mobile home haven't had to be re leveled yet. That dirt is like concrete
I remember one real wet year. we called for a prefab concrete septic tank. the driver would back into the job site and set the tank with the truck. It was raining the week prior. it was raining when he showed up. He drove out into the pasture and promptly sank to the axle. the cross truck axle acted as shoring to stop his downward descent . boss used the JD 510 C to push on the front bumper. BOOM buckets thru the radiator. We pushed the truck backward. unloaded the tank, pulled the truck out to the road , removed the radiator. Took it and the driver to a repair shop, Took the driver home ( 90 minutes one way) then went back and put in the leach field and hooked the house up to the tank. Of course I got the blame/credit for him putting the bucket thru the radiator.
@@nemo227 mid 1990s people were still using VHS cell phone was called a car phone and expensive. One helper one operator we tended to be real friggin busy. I was always within 10 feet of the bucket when it was digging.
@@BornRandy62 I remember it well. Twenty years ago I was on the way to my son's college graduation and I thought, "I SHOULD make a video of this. We paid enough for his college education. What's another $700 for a video camera? Priceless memories." We managed to get about 10 minutes of his graduation ceremony. Yep, still have the VHS tape. Somewhere. Before those prefab concrete septic tanks I remember the septic tanks made from redwood timbers. The one I dug the hole for (with only a long handled True Temper shovel) is still working near the California coast.

I love my daily dose of progress.
Love those Carolina blue skies.
Man, that's going to be a really nice area when it's finished! A good job, nicely done.
Thanks for the video.
Be nice to see this job when it is fully completed and signed off Chris.
One helluva cheque heading the Companies way 😉👍🏼
Looks awesome !!
Nice job again Chris....👌👍
My friend your one smooth operator 😎 👍👍👍
I really enjoyed this video ... especially when you were talking us through the "feel" of digging into the dam.
You guys do great work. 👍👍🇵🇪🐕
Nicely done!!!!!!!
Great precision work with the bucket while setting that riser!
1 slip, and it's a pile of rubble. Lol
yeah who'd've thought you could use 'delicate work' and 'excavator' in the same sentence lol.
Who else caught themselves swiping at that spot on his windshield like you're actually there ?
Me thinks I need more coffee.
You should get spatterco oil for the bucket it’s used on concrete pump hoppers to make it easier to clean splatters off
Diesel baby
Man you guys finally getting the sun
I enjoy watching you do your thing, Chris!
Got to love the bojingles in the morning
Great video bro, nice bit of fine tuning on that riser pipe too.
Progress looks great that should be quite awesome when it's done.
I love how boss man ain’t afraid to do the work!

We used to have trouble with different substances hanging up in the bed until we screwed UHMW sheets into the bed. Slick as you might think. You can get it from most commercial places that sell conveyor belting.
In Utah we done away with the rear dump cement trucks 35 years ago, the front dump have so much more controll,
Thanks love you too!
Nice video. Do you think you could you do a video with the drone and explain all you have done in this big project, I get a little lost on what your working on.
ua-cam.com/video/MlxW6XdorRw/v-deo.html
Yep, if the truck could have backed on down, saved time on machine and pocket book, my opinion.great videos 👍👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
I've seen truck videos in russia that has the exhaust outlet of the engine connected to the dump box,
I guess that will keep the box warm and prevent the material from getting stuck
Is that your Uncle, the boss man? He looks official! hahah
A damn good excavator operator!! Nice
The guy keeps talking to you. Who is he? The boss. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

You should use a bosuns chair and use the bucket to lower raise people in the pipe.
Funny i just started working for chandler 3 weeks ago lol already been stuck too
That truck was so clean it looked like it never hauled a load before.
@@brianwebber7168 probably a newer truck, most guys keep them nice otherwise your never getting a nice truck and will always be running junk haha
Chris, how many videos are there in the big pond series? I'm trying to watch them all! Great series.
looks good good job
you the man , chris
what a touch! sweet
Love watching the videos. Guy in white shirt acts like he is boss, thought you were
That's his uncle his uncle owns the company.
Old excavator guy I know always said you get at least 95% compaction with rubber tire!
that guy sounds fun to work with, the guy that calculated the concrete...
Hmm get a set of sheepsfoot wheels for a set of the rear wheels on the truck?
Why do operators always put boom preasure down when turning tracks? Is it only when your stationary to ease wear on tracks?
It's got a nitrous button 👍
Whats your best tips to be a good operator? Finishing school in a few months and aimed to be a operator.
Should have made him sign a waiver if he got concrete on the machine he had to wash the hole machine
I agree, all the cement trucks today have a wash down hose because they can get fined if stray concrete falls onto a road surface .And while it's wet you can flush the bucket clean using his hose .
Dam fine job it is going to be slow going up and down with the concrete
That waiver probably speaks to the quality of driver they are employing mate.
Do they measure bucket volume with a level bucket, or a big scoop of dirt
👍👍 👍
I know a Bojangles’ cup when I see one. Because I see one in my hand most mornings. lol.
Maybe the next bucket U need to have made is a bucket for cement skittle bigger
Nice!!!!

I hope you have Bojangles as a sponsor is always so prominent in the cup holder??
Spray some diesel on the bucket. It keeps the concrete from sticking.
Don't say that too loud. The EPA will be all over you.
Love the video man and the water is rising fast too .
you blokes are big on high vis clothing and hard hats over there, work safe here in Australia would have a field day.
Where at Blum rn but damn it’s wet
I mean some of the osh kosh front loader trucks we have up here can be damn bears if it was wet 3 months ago. At least when there loaded. But even in Massachusetts they'll go down the damn hill. They just might not get back up
helo Chris,coll vidéo merci.

Those guys standing around the pipe sure trust you.
OH I heard it hit the windshield!! LOL
Id have probably given the ring a smack on top with the bucket and reduced it to rubble 😂
I GOT A KICK OUT OF THE MIRROR IMAGE OF YOUR CUP LIKE ITS STUCK TO THE TEETH OF YOUR BUCKET, LOL
wow...them drivers around here will pull up on about anything but loose backfill unless its flat..that slope is pretty mild looking for him to back down there
Will you be able to finish before the water really becomes a problem? Looks like it's gaining on yall........ Also will you go back and take the coffer dams out?
should get done with it this week, ill probably leave it as it will be 5' under water
@@letsdig18 You may have already stated but how much water will be at the dam?

I've seen him use a Milwaukee M18 grease gun in previous videos.
Where is this job at that y’all were using that company? I feel like they’re out in Durham.
Who is the guy on the ground in the dark jacket?
Uncle if I am not mistaken. I could very well be wrong though
The guy in the white t-shirt (assume he's the project civil engineer) is sure short on people skills, But, again, he's there cuz he knows his stuff. Just sayin'. 😎
Is that a 4ft bucket?
54"
note to self... don't use chandler concrete comp.
Anyone else trying to drive the excavator with your mouse while watching these videos?
That's alot dam😅👍
Will super clean work on concrete splatter? 😆
Buy a 5 gal bucket of Form Release (www.advanceconcreteform.com/product_detail.php?id=608&cid=26) from Advance Concrete Forms. Mix it 5:1 with diesel in a pump up sprayer and spray your bucket and shovels next time you have to transport concrete and you wont have to worry about it sticking.
who is the guy directing traffic?
Do you own the company? Or are u a operator only? Does the guy directing you own it?
It's family owned, his uncle John owns it. But Chris does side jobs on weekends of his own.
Oh that you make me sick pour concrete into the bucket. I understand it has to be done but still
Put the thumb down a little to shield the machine from splatter.
Is this a bid job or t & m?
Looking good...
have you ever accidentally hooked a track with your bucket teeth while loading dirt?
I hope. So. Who hasnt.
must be the rabbit an turtle button he keeps flipping next to the right stick
That close to the bucket without any helmets?
No room for clipboard warriors around here... Take your "safety" checklist, and shove it.
@@kevinosteen8898 i dont know shit about shit..it was a question. Looked kinda dangerous to me.
If you get hit in the head with that bucket a helmet ain't going to help.
@@22wmr_223 those precision moves when hes very close to it arent that fast
psy0rz if a pipe bursts or something like that happens it only takes a small amount of weight or force to kill so a helmet won't really help.
Hey Chris are you planning on using the 250 on other projects?
its got 3 projects to go to after this one
That was a lot of money for concrete . I don’t know how much they charge for a yard but Wooten is like $131.00 a yard . But if you gotta have it you gotta have it . But great job as always
Todd Roberts here in Canada it’s about $175/ yd. then a cleanout fee etc.
Wowww. We are 103. Per yd. But we have a massive amount of natural gravel and clean chrushed stone in this area. All front loaders for past 30 plus years
Damn
Todd Reynolds
I basically have a concrete plant in my backyard. Its the Canadian government causing things to cost more then they should.
Hell building my dads mobile home park we would build the pads for the mobile homes up and then use a truck loaded to the gills and then some to pack the select fill. That was done in 2001 and those mobile home haven't had to be re leveled yet. That dirt is like concrete
so does that pack better than a sheep foot roller?
So if the driver gets stuck you have to pay to unstuck him? That's kinda wrong
