Chris you are impressive !! I am so impressed at how fluint you are on your operator skills . You seem to change machines without any adjustments at all. Your work just flows so smoothly. I also love the way you take pride in your work and do the little extra things to make your work look good. I never thought I would be watching someone spread or dig dirt !! But you defiantly make it interesting !! Loving your content 👊 Thanks for sharing
You have worked hard to get the equipment. You are looking to your future. Fairly new equipment it looks and sounds lie the new hasn't worn off yet. Good luck.
Look at those sideboards. Keep up the great work my dude. Love watching you build and grow. Have been watching every one of your videos you post for a long time now. Don’t ever lose hope, and if you need someone to run some equipment you just let me know! Keep up the hard work Chris. It’s really paying off.
I’m 16 and my dad rented a Takeuchi Tl8 for a week to clear 9 acres of brush. These machines are fun to use and very useful for working in construction or land clearing. 👍
Nice work, as always. You must be doing halfway well for yourself in order to be making these purchases, and I think that's downright cool. I hope they serve you well for many years and jobs to come.
Chris very awesome purchase I'm extremely Proud of you I think that you should put some attention to your tracks either need some grease pumped in or maybe the rails need some attention but besides that great machine even if you have to put a tiny work into the machine that one of my favorites another good video thumbs up my friends
Good to see you purchased a Takeuchi. I've always liked them. Fast, responsive & comfortable. Now just get a Dirt Skirt to protect your bucket hinge pins from dirt & debrie & you're all set.
Chris, all you need now is a decent dump truck and way you go on your own. Well done very nice machine. Looks to work really well. A four in one bucket would be good later on.
That was some nice looking fill that came out the back of that blue truck . A nice machine also . Don’t know if I could fit in that one as good as the other one lol
Chris ...congtats on your nearly new skid steer...i have a feeling you going solo with your own company...I mean you ve got what it takes with your skill sets throughout the years operation non stop... Good luck with your new toy.
Awesome job & congrats on the addition to your fleet.. Just curious, have you ever thought about getting a dozer blade for the skid steer? My friend uses one for cleaning out his barn . & feed lots
Chis do you equip your skid steers and backhoes with Ride Control ? Makes a huge difference both hauling material and empty. You cannot believe the difference it makes . I believe I was the first one in the country to try putting ride control on a skidsteer back around 2003. It was a Takeuchi TL130 we were selling to a tree farm that had to haul the trees a substantial ways to load the trailers and it was very rough on the operators as well as the machine. At that time I used a company out of Missouri called Hydra Smooth that specialized in creating ride control systems for all kinds of different equipment. The owner of the company agreed to try create a ride control system and install it on the TL130 we were demonstrating to the tree farm owners. The regional manager for Takeuchi made the trip also to see if the concept would work on a skidsteer especially with tracks. Everyone was skeptical to say the least, but I thought it would work as did the owner of Hydra Smooth. Everyone was shocked at the difference in ride for the operator and the ground smoothness of the machine while hauling the trees . Long story short that was the beginning of installing Ride control on skidsteers which is now some 20 yrs later a factory option for most manufacturers that sell all kinds of skidsteers. If you ever want to know more about that story anytime your welcome to call me 217 202 0877. Continued success
Two trucks! That explains the ‘reverse warning’ when a truck is moving forward. Didn’t see the second truck until the first had moved. Thought I was going mad.
I'm always amazed when you get trucks to dump the load where you want it, rather than just "I backed up here, I'm gonna dump it here, I have another load to haul!"
I saw one of these that had been rolled down a hill on a wrecker/recovery channel. That guy was not as good as Chris! Lol. Must be a great machine. Chris bought it.
I'm thinking the same thing but if that were the case, why would he not of taken Tim? Timing maybe. Either way, Chris is certainly preparing for something and it's exciting to see him prosper. God bless!
You can tell when a man has good credit.... Looks like you gave it a good tryout. Check out those new side boards on the dump truck. If you have need to check it out further just bring it to my house.
It's child play for you Chris, you really are good with your machinery ! By the time it took me to smoke a cigarette you had levelled all the piles, Brilliant !!!!!
I did 100 semi-trailers of building sand to level out this pad. Then 102 Cement trucks to lay the pad. Tons of work and a bulldozer did the leveling every 3 trucks. The pad leveled out a 48" drop in the back yard on a 70' building I put in. What a job. It worked out with a General contractor and 2 building construction The survey and ground was done under the General by a third party.
I like that little machine. Is that the dirt you screen? That's some nice fill dirt or is it. Sounded like rock when it slid out of the bed...keep diggin😎
i would like to see the video when you found the mason jar full of money .. lol ,, 4 way bucket and a dozer next ? time will tell ... hope the grass will not grow under your machines , keep the videos coming ..also you might need a mini .. you have a old one at the farm , great work you do Chris ..
Pretty cool to watch you branch out into your own business especially when you're such a skilled operator with a load of knowledge😎
Thank you for taking the time to record. I do appreciate the near daily videos.
Congratulations on your new purchase Chris. I hope the people beforehand performed periodic maintenance as expected. Thank you for sharing!
Nice work!!!! You're getting all of the nice jobs, good for you.
Nice Skid Steer. It will serve you well. Happy Labor Day guys.

It’s Amazing how well you can Transform an area so thoroughly with the right equipment and soil.
I'm only into this video about 3 min and your working the snot out of that new machine, looks to be in perfect working order.
Nice addition. Awesome job Chris. God Bless.
You have worked hard to get the equipment. You are looking to your future.
Fairly new equipment it looks and sounds lie the new hasn't worn off yet.
Good luck.
Congrats on the new machine ! Smart move getting all the same brands, then all the parts stock is the same.

That wasn’t Chris’s dump truck

Nice job! Like you were born with that skid steer attached to your side! Have a great day. God bless.
Nice work, as always. You must be doing halfway well for yourself in order to be making these purchases, and I think that's downright cool. I hope they serve you well for many years and jobs to come.
Well he did sell the Hitachi so that money likely went into this.
@@Blazer02LS That would definitely factor into the cash flow.
His CZcams channel alone brings in hundreds of thousands of dollars per year. Plus whatever he makes on all these jobs which I imagine is a lot.
Encouraging. Congratulations
Grading looks easy peasy with the old takehoochie
Chris very awesome purchase I'm extremely Proud of you I think that you should put some attention to your tracks either need some grease pumped in or maybe the rails need some attention but besides that great machine even if you have to put a tiny work into the machine that one of my favorites another good video thumbs up my friends
A good piece of equipment goes well with a good operator to produce quality work! Nice work!
Great job Chris looks great 👍👍
I had to check and see if my playback speed was set at 1:25, you were moving fast. ☺ Thanks for sharing, it's fun to watch.
Good to see you purchased a Takeuchi. I've always liked them. Fast, responsive & comfortable. Now just get a Dirt Skirt to protect your bucket hinge pins from dirt & debrie & you're all set.
Love your new toy (oops )
Your new machine looks like you were made for each other.Blessings from Fl.
Can't wait to see the Api bucket for three new skidsteer. Congrats
Congrats on the new machine. Nice job 👍🏻
Dang!, you got that pad flatter than my first girlfriend! :)
this deserves more likes
@the hillbillyengineer..🤣🤣🤣..i always liked the saying " nice shirt did the board come with it?"
Lmao
I don’t get it. 🤔
Kings’ Outdoor Life 😂
Congrats on the new/used machine.
Chris, all you need now is a decent dump truck and way you go on your own. Well done very nice machine. Looks to work really well. A four in one bucket would be good later on.
Congratulation Chris on this purchase i hope it serves you well.
Nice job Chris. Looks good
Great video Chris thanks for sharing have a great day and stay safe out there
an excellent job with the machine. very good operator. greetings from mexicali mexico
Congrats on the low hour machine Chris!
Beautiful job!
Wow. Business must be really really good.
Great workmanship concratlations from New Zealand
This is different. So used to seeing you knee deep in mud or playing Paul Bunyon. Looks good Chris.
You are an artist, Chris!
Nice machine
Powerful and quick.
Nobody can move material like Chris! Congrats on the new machine.
Congrats Chris on all your new toys this 2020 season
Not even broke in good, those are really reliable peices of equipment.
You got that pad laid out in no time. Talent for sure but the controls on that Takeuchi have to be like butter! Well done.
Man that is a beast great job.
Seen a few with steel tbg tracks...absolute work horses.
I sense a dozer in your future lol good job man, hard work pays off
You deserve it bud , your one hell of a hard worker.
Even if I was comfortable with the controls I still wouldn’t be as fast as you are. I’m sure of it, thanks for the video.
That was some nice looking fill that came out the back of that blue truck . A nice machine also . Don’t know if I could fit in that one as good as the other one lol
The one coat wonders worked out pretty good
Another fine executed project
Congratulations Chris, another new piece of equipment to add to your arsenal of dirt moving equipment.
Chris, you and Hedblom are my favorite channels to watch. Very interesting and fun to watch.
I'll second that!
Chris ...congtats on your nearly new skid steer...i have a feeling you going solo with your own company...I mean you ve got what it takes with your skill sets throughout the years operation non stop...
Good luck with your new toy.
Appreciate reading the comments and Chris confirming our intuitions; in the most subtle ways. Bright futures all around!
I’ve run heavy equipment for 30 years and your real good on that
That worked slicker than whale snot. How sweet it is!! Congrats. Jim.
You are pretty quick with it for sure.
Nice skid steer! P.S. A backhoe could have leveled that and compacted before the first commercial LOL
Digginok 🤣🤣
Doctor Phill Determined that this was a Lie
letsdig18 fake news!
letsdig18 🤣 your thinking of the wrong hoes I don’t believe Dr. Phil is into heavy equipment
letsdig18 so it’s not a nice skid steer?
Awesome job & congrats on the addition to your fleet.. Just curious, have you ever thought about getting a dozer blade for the skid steer? My friend uses one for cleaning out his barn . & feed lots
Dude did you win the lottery! 🤩 I’m delighted to watch your success. What’s your view on the new skid steer?
Always great to get new toys to play with, especially when they're your own.
Here in New Zealand a 3 axel truck can carry 10-11 ton. A 4 axel about 14. Those trucks set up like that carrying 20ton are pretty impressive.
That Takeuchi seemed to make quick work of that pad. Plenty of muscle and ease of handling. Plus a knowledgeable operator at the controls.
Hey Chris, you should do a video on how you use the laser to figure out the grade. I think a lot of people would get a kick out of that.
I would agree 👍
A good operator doesn’t need a lazerrrr 😂👁
First time i saw the laser with inches on the pole (not sure what it's called in English) I was so confused. Looked so complicated

Shoot a grid, figure out average grade. It's not very difficult to level large areas.
The let's dig18 company is growing congrats
Happy for U Chris...well done !!! Seems to me that U will go on Your own...if so wisching U all the BEST !!! Good Bles!!! JBB The JCB Poland
Two trucks! That explains the ‘reverse warning’ when a truck is moving forward. Didn’t see the second truck until the first had moved. Thought I was going mad.
Theres one thing people have to say. Chris has worked hard for what he has in life. It's a inspiration.
That puppy is quick! Full partner would be better for me, but I am lucky to get along great with my family!
best damn skidsteer out there i have t12 and a t250
Im curious if the fans get to submit potential new company names..
Great job
I'm always amazed when you get trucks to dump the load where you want it, rather than just "I backed up here, I'm gonna dump it here, I have another load to haul!"
Nice machine and skills
You make it look easy, Bro.....
I saw one of these that had been rolled down a hill on a wrecker/recovery channel. That guy was not as good as Chris! Lol. Must be a great machine. Chris bought it.
Ron pratt pulled that one out with the number 15 rollback
@@hd1987hd that's the guy. Did a great job to.
This morning, a 1:30:45 Mustie1 video, now Letsdig18 with a new machine. This Sunday is a great day. 😁
I believe this video might be sped up a bit? Looks like a nice machine. Tracks always do a better job leveling
nice work mate you need a norm 4n1 bucket !!!
Nice work mate
Heck yeah. I wanted a 12v2 but found a good 12 model TL250 with 1400 hours. Hopefully next time I can find a good 12v2 or R2.
Are those new side boards on the truck! 👀 Looks like someone took great care painting them with the most expensive brush Sherwin Williams had
Getting all the new toys lately!
Will surely need another operator soon.
Laughing it ain't your first rodeo in a skid steer!!👍 I'm not too shabby myself but you're better than me ☺️ nice skid loader
Hey i saw your hoodies keep up the good work
Hey Chris with you buying all the new toys are you eventually going to leave your uncle and go on your own? Are partner up with your Uncle?
I'm thinking the same thing but if that were the case, why would he not of taken Tim? Timing maybe. Either way, Chris is certainly preparing for something and it's exciting to see him prosper. God bless!
@@JerichoRally Tim left on his own, to go somewhere with the opportunities for advancement that you just don't get when you'll always be the new kid.
Maybe he just likes buying shit? I do
@@Skorpychan maybe Tim will learn his arse off and then make a come back. He and Chris were like a well oiled machine imo
@@davidbriggs8076 when did tim leave? i wondered where he was
You can tell when a man has good credit.... Looks like you gave it a good tryout. Check out those new side boards on the dump truck. If you have need to check it out further just bring it to my house.
That wasn't the company truck, Johns has 2 in 1 a barn door, not a lift open style.
@@HughzieTube I was referring to the first one. It looked like it had freshly painted side boards.
That skid steer is a freaking work horse and fast too.
Very nice machine
Nice!!!!!!(you are going to need a dispatcher pretty soon!!!)

The next purchase a dump truck and you will be all set to go, I kinda figured a TL12 would be in your future sure enough it is.
And a bulldozer
Dolo Ace Ya a little finish dozer would be good he uses them a lot. Same with Dirt Perfect the D4 he has is a finish dozer.
Makes you wonder why someone got rid of it with such low hours? repossessed?
Chad Simmons probably a lease return or who ever owned it last may only needed it for a few jobs you never know.
I have done made that suggestion to him lol
Man, that thing is a weasel! :O Or the driver is. Anyways, a weasely combo! Good stuff!
I like that little machine. Is that the dirt you screen? That's some nice fill dirt or is it. Sounded like rock when it slid out of the bed...keep diggin😎
My 2 year old grandson approved of your job well done.
i would like to see the video when you found the mason jar full of money .. lol ,, 4 way bucket and a dozer next ? time will tell ... hope the grass will not grow under your machines , keep the videos coming ..also you might need a mini .. you have a old one at the farm , great work you do Chris ..
