Ya gotta love a client that will jump in when needed to help with the job yet respect you enough to let you do the job without interfering. Resetting the track and shifting the cleared brush helped you get as much accomplished today as you did.
New subscriber here....our son is in training in the Army for his MOS of 12N - horizontal construction engineer. When he is done with training, he will be running equipment similar to what you are using. Watching you has helped me understand what his job serving our country will be. Love your channel! 😊 thanks!
except your kid will be clearing land where brown people once lived with out paying taxes because their families owned that land forever... until the us army lands there then the brown people are "relocated", "given jobs", and made to pay tax... that they can't afford... so they lose everything... thank your son for me... for killing what is left of the world we live in.
I worked the same sort of job in the 1970's. The ditch was an old irrigation canal. The company I was working for screened the sand we dug out to use it for cement. The most amazing thing happened! That irrigation ditch was full of old bottles from the 1800's. I would stand in front of the screening machine and, boom! Every couple of minutes an old bottle would pop out! I gathered hundreds of them!
Monday 1.05 a.m. in Germany ... Hi all! 🙋♀️ Before going to sleep, watch Chris's latest video. 😁 The new camera is super, takes great pictures and sounds. 👏☺️
Chris, I love that Volvo front end loader, that’s doing a real good job. As usual love your video and content. Well done Brandon, you have been a really good support for Chris.
After all this time, I am still turning my chair as you swing from side to side in your tree clearing or digging. And I love your dexterity with that giant hand and claw to rip out trees.
I watch a lot of your videos and I try to learn. You're a very good operator, I've been running machines for about 3 years now and I'm still learning stuff everyday and watching these videos help me learn anymore. Keep up the good work buddy 👍
I’ve watched a lot of videos of people doing the type of work you do. There are very few that are as proficient as you and Mike at Dirt Perfect. You and Mike are the best in the business when it come to clearing land and pond work in my opinion.
"nothing like working where its a little sandy" Unless you're trying to dredge a pond where everything is sand. I remember that former hog farm that you built the shooting range on, Chris.
You have some of the most interesting, variety of projects. Never a dull moment......well, except scooping out 6 zazillion buckets of pond mud/sand/silt! 👍😍😎😜😉
My wife just got me the zip hoodie for BD.. I loved it. good quality and soft inside. Was hoping he would get the new "let's Dig" logo like on the bucket, but no matter I was happy to wear it.
Great video once more! I like how several good operators can trust each other’s skill level and work together! Only regret I have is not getting the fire video from that huge brush pile😢
hey Chris, all the john deere fans aren't going to like that opening shot with all those green hulks sitting there. another great video brother have a great rest of your weekend!!!!!!
Great first video of this project bro, that bloke on his working holiday did a nice job with the little digger and nice the place helped with the track and shifting trees to the burn pile. Ya both stay safe up there
Need more sticker bombs Brandon. And you did a good job on that ditch !! Msn you put to great operators on a job and things get done twice as fast!!! Nice vid you guys.
Brandon... I’ll give that sticker a good shot at making it a week. You put it where there was still some paint. Now, the sticker watch can begin! Finally, you got to do a little baby dredging job. No mats required... heck, you even tried to show off and have the Yanmar do it while standing on one foot!!! Chris, please remember to keep us updated on the sticker contest! BTW... interesting video. I found myself bobbing around and operating imaginary joysticks as I watched!
Cool, Liked seeing the Volvo Excavator meet the big Volvo loader. Now you Just need a square box 1980's volvo wagon! Thought the rowas used to take off that logo!
Chris the burn pile is to close to the neighbours tree's - This is something that John or Tim would NOT have done - Please stack the pile further away to prevent flames from singeing
Awesome Video.lots of combines there. Is that the holy ground for combine parts 🤣.2 Volvos mixed in with the deers 🤣. Anyway the ditch line looks perfect Chris. I Tip my hat To you sir😀.brendan is doing a good job on clearing the channel as well.love your vids and keep Up the nice work.😀😉
Of all the years I have watched Chris that's the first time I have seen a limb catch him of guard. I have a love hate relationship with glass in a excavator. Another great video!!
There was another episode not so long ago, under another clearing job, where a big, rotten branch came down on top of the cabin with a big THUMP and that made Chris jump in his seat - maybe even a little pee came out! 🤣
When you clear land for a living, after that crack... your just grateful to have all your shit working yet. Hoses get ripped off very quickly. Then there you sit.
@thecouchtripper Normally when I hear that sound, it means we are in the middle of a Hurricane. Not a sound you want to hear. We had 54 Dade County Pine on our property before Hurricane Andrew. Afterwards there were only 4 that were alive. And these were Pines that were 8 to 12 inches in diameter and 20 years old.
sticker lasted cause you only use the tines of your thumb 90+ % of the time, unless your loading a log trailer that sticker is just gonna get tickled by some twigs
Chris I think Brandon got you by putting his sticker on your Thumb, lmaoooo. What a great video man you and John and Brandon and yawls family y’all stay safe and keep the videos coming
Watching an excavator rip trees out of the ground and snap them like twigs is very fulfilling. You run that equipment like it's an extension of yourself.
I must have missed the back story on Brandon's visit and working with/for you for this bit. Scouting a move, interviewing for a job, or just lending a hand to a friend?
@@eliteearthworksllc I watch yours as well. Just didn't think you showed up and said: "Hey buddy, I'm in NC on vacation." and he said: "Cool, here's a shovel, get busy." :)
I don't know what his source of information is but a farmer I know from the old school told me that 95% of those combine fires are arson. He made the comment that it was almost combine roasting season.
Chris.....just to give you the average viewership of your videos. Im an MRI Tech in Northern WV watching at 800pm while sitting in my hottub under a cloudy dark WV sky on my back patio at my log home enjoying the F out of watching you dig and tear down trees and hearing your machine run. Thanks.
wish i was down in your area you would really like the set up i have in my ford explorer as a tool truck not sure i could have done you any good for the break down you had here but i would have came over to try and get you fixed up been worth a try for sure
Letsdig18 goes home rings his Volvo dealer "I want a loader".....Then rings AMI Attachments "I have a new mission for ya" AMI "Ye what`s that"......LD18 "Ive bought a loader and I want a grapple bucket like the 220`s bucket n thumb it doesn`t grab enough"......AMI "ye we can do that just send us your specs we`ll get right on it".....great video Chris
All Hell !! Gonna have to check all your machines now !! lolol Brandon done started taggin' your stuff...lololol....Dammit Man !! That loader got a hella load of brush with those big forks!! That's gonna be a Big Fire when they light it up !! Pretty close to the "Farm" fire it's looking like ? lololol...Great as always Chris !! Have a Great Evening, and weekend !! On to the Next....
One of the biggest contractors here bought a whole fleet of brand new Volvo 220 loaders for all of their gravel pits. It takes 2 scoops to put about 26 tons of gravel in a belly dump they also have a Volvo 350 that takes about a bucket and a quarter to fill the belly dump and their 988 Cat with a spade nose bucket takes 1 bucket to fill it. So did Brandon's sticker survive?
When editing can you not cut out so much just speed it up would be nice to watch you do the whole thing instead of seeing the end result I like to watch you work because you have good work ethics
Chris, check your fuel filters on your 250? When you fired it up and it was running cold , all cylinders were not fireing off , had a skip in it water maybe??
Ya gotta love a client that will jump in when needed to help with the job yet respect you enough to let you do the job without interfering. Resetting the track and shifting the cleared brush helped you get as much accomplished today as you did.

Chris, I love that Volvo front end loader, that’s doing a real good job. As usual love your video and content. Well done Brandon, you have been a really good support for Chris.
That's not a junk yard....that's a gold mine 😂, great video 🤙
That will be one Heck of a Bonfire 🔥 in a couple of weeks. Send out the Invitations now. 😬👍
After all this time, I am still turning my chair as you swing from side to side in your tree clearing or digging. And I love your dexterity with that giant hand and claw to rip out trees.
52 minutes video of Chris at work, great Sunday evening
I watch a lot of your videos and I try to learn. You're a very good operator, I've been running machines for about 3 years now and I'm still learning stuff everyday and watching these videos help me learn anymore. Keep up the good work buddy 👍
With that sticker being there you might want to check rest of the equipment and see if any more mysteriously showed up,lol nice looking meal.👍👍👍😎😎😎
😁 I’ll never tell
@@eliteearthworksllc nice sticker bomb brandon
@@coreywydeven8322 lol thanks I thought he would get a kick out of that
I just want a Bojangles back. I miss my steak biscuits in the morning.
I’ve watched a lot of videos of people doing the type of work you do. There are very few that are as proficient as you and Mike at Dirt Perfect. You and Mike are the best in the business when it come to clearing land and pond work in my opinion.
That hasn’t seen the light of day in years by the look of it, and you make it look so easy Chris brilliant job though.👍
Brandon and the loader made a big difference in what got done on this job. Have a blessed and safe week, and please stay healthy.
Chris: My 220 can really pick up a load of brush I tell ya!
Loader operator: hold my beer...
Letzdig u do such good work I enjoy watching the work being done.
"nothing like working where its a little sandy" Unless you're trying to dredge a pond where everything is sand. I remember that former hog farm that you built the shooting range on, Chris.

Great first day boys, you done good. Man that loader is a beast!! Take care, and see you tomorrow! Graham🇬🇧🇬🇧🌲🌲
As always a awesome job Chris. God Bless you and the family.
Chris brags on the Volvo loader and takes pictures, poor Brandon goes by on the mini Yanmar, "Am I a joke to you?" LOL
🤣🤣 yep
22:44
branch comes in the cab
Well that branch tried to get me 🤣😂

Hello from Yorkton, Saskatchewan, Canada. Thanks for sharing your great video’s please keep them coming.
Great video once more! I like how several good operators can trust each other’s skill level and work together! Only regret I have is not getting the fire video from that huge brush pile😢

Logged on right on time !!!
Ive been watching you for years and I love every video. Thanks for keeping me entertained
I don't know why but it's kinda satisfying to see a well trained operator running his machine like it's an extension of his hands
Great job!!!👍👍👍
Hope your customer will pay you for burning the pile after all. So we will have the chance to see another big 🔥🔥🔥fire on video😀
On this episode of the Chris and Brandon Show...........it's crunch time! Great job fellers!!
Yes lol
combine graveyard bet theres millions of dollers just sitting there rusting away
Insurance be like “I’ll trade you a combine graveyard for a pack of romen “
Should snag some hoses off those combines. Beats buying brand new ones.
old and obsolete, maybe $$$ when new, but now replaced by new ones.
@@aarongrabowski3775 Beats buying new until it ruptures and hurts someone.
That IS one fine "Mamma Jammer" of a set-up on that bucket&thumb.
Need more sticker bombs Brandon. And you did a good job on that ditch !! Msn you put to great operators on a job and things get done twice as fast!!! Nice vid you guys.
Thank you! I feel like we got a lot done
"The Yanmar in its natural habitat" made me spit my drink all over my keyboard. Thats a classic line!! lol
Oh yeah, Smithfield's C-N-B! Gonna need a fix after this video. Thanks for all the videos Chris.
I hope you're going to let us watch that pile burn ...
Right? I want to see it.
now thats one nervous wheelloader operator :D Great day as always with you, keep you the amazing work you guys do
Great video and that frontend loader sure picks up a nice load.
Ole lets dig. ,working Brendan sun up to sun down
Every day 🤣
Nice to see the loader operator jump in!
Brandon... I’ll give that sticker a good shot at making it a week. You put it where there was still some paint. Now, the sticker watch can begin!
Finally, you got to do a little baby dredging job. No mats required... heck, you even tried to show off and have the Yanmar do it while standing on one foot!!!

Lol
Well, that L220G is a beast!
I don't know anything about all the different brands and sizes of excavators but that Volvo just seems like an absolute beast.
Awesome Video.lots of combines there. Is that the holy ground for combine parts 🤣.2 Volvos mixed in with the deers 🤣. Anyway the ditch line looks perfect Chris. I Tip my hat To you sir😀.brendan is doing a good job on clearing the channel as well.love your vids and keep Up the nice work.😀😉

@@Bannimann2 Lol,
Those Trees should have known better than to Grow in that Ditch next to the Fence. 😬👍
Pity you can’t burn this. Chris,
What an EPIC burn pile!!!
Great for fires on Friday
The bucket and fingers setup grab that stuff so easily.
Boy I'd love to see Karen's face when they light that fire. Hell I'd just like to see that fire!
Especially if a few old telephone poles got mixed in with all the brush!
Hell lets smoke the old girl out. Roll a tire off a combine to the pile.
Pop iooooio
😂😂😂😂😂😂👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
I can hear the firefighter sirens........
That front loader sped up the job some!
Bojangles for breakfast and Smithfield's CNB for lunch. A eastern NC man for sure! I'd have to have gone with the BBQ tho. Love your videos!
Man Chris your Volvo with that loader is one hell of a combo
Does anybody else get excited just by the crack of the trees being broken?
When you clear land for a living, after that crack... your just grateful to have all your shit working yet. Hoses get ripped off very quickly. Then there you sit.
@thecouchtripper Normally when I hear that sound, it means we are in the middle of a Hurricane. Not a sound you want to hear. We had 54 Dade County Pine on our property before Hurricane Andrew.

that's a nice looking loader with a big gulp scoop
That is not a junkyard, it is a previously enjoyed combine repository!
sticker lasted cause you only use the tines of your thumb 90+ % of the time, unless your loading a log trailer that sticker is just gonna get tickled by some twigs
🤣
🤣🤣
Chris I think Brandon got you by putting his sticker on your Thumb, lmaoooo. What a great video man you and John and Brandon and yawls family y’all stay safe and keep the videos coming
Knew when I saw a Bojangles cup, then Smithfield Chicken & BBQ that Chris was close, but damn hes only 30 min away....small world!!

Just helping him out I work for myself in Missouri doing excavating on a smaller scale. My videos aren’t as cool as Chris’s lol
@@eliteearthworksllc I watch yours as well. Just didn't think you showed up and said: "Hey buddy, I'm in NC on vacation." and he said: "Cool, here's a shovel, get busy." :)
@@gwpsr58 lol that’s how it would have gone if I did
Awesome crunching sounds
Now, after Chris cleared that ditch, it starts to look quite up to his high standards ! The man can't stand such a mess. 👍
That loader probably saved you several hours of tracking back and forth to the brush pile with how much it could take in one load.
Sometimes a little help goes a long way. That fellow with the loader moved a bunch of stuff. That is a BIG salvage yard. Where is it located?
I don't know what his source of information is but a farmer I know from the old school told me that 95% of those combine fires are arson. He made the comment that it was almost combine roasting season.
awesome work Chris and look's like Brandon is having too much fun
I should easily be able to see that burn pile go up from here in Massachusetts! Chris.....
Dammit now I want Bojangles chicken. Looks like Worthington down in Goldsboro.

Saw that loader on IG. That is one big piece of equipment. And I thought the 220 was big. That video went quick.
Yeah it was huge

Dang ya really putting old Brandon to work aren’t ya 😂
We didn’t stop I can tell you that 🤣
Looks like Chris got his monies worth out of you!
“Knock the Track Off” Junction. How can you Forget that Intersection ? It was Memorable. 😬👍

That junkyard would be cool as shit to walk through idk why but ever since I was little heavy equpitment was just so cool to me
I wish all the landscaping youtubers would get together and do a huge project or something
Chris, let us know when the brush fire starts. I want to bring marshmallows the size of pillows.
