Chris has repeat customers because of his inpicable work. Always listening to what the customer wants but isn't shy in telling the customer the dos and don't s and explaining and suggesting to them his point of view but the customer is always right even if there not. Great job, Chris.
Thanks for posting you videos , I am new operator at 58 lol and I learn so much your videos. Yes I have gone through training before and are always learning new things from other operators your experience helps many people . Thanks
Chris, this video speaks volumes to your character and ethics. I bet dollars to donuts that you'd've brought Betty to move that dirt for him if the Komat'su wasn't available. Thanks for being here, Chris. Thanks for sharing with us all. Thank you.
Grass does look good. Good to have some help even if it is a small job. Can see the difference in elevation at the end when not so evident at the beginning. Neat work.
You sure keep Mr. Donnie busy hauling equipment back and forth to jobs - even those for Geoff Enterprises. Where I grew up, people took places that were old dairies during my childhood and made them into 1980s housing subdivisions.
Thanks for the update, always enjoy watching, you make things sound and look easy. I would bet your clients appreciate your care and finish work on their property, they call it repeat work.
2D Grade Control...One pass...On Grade. Locate the benchmark...Set the right tip, center or left tip of the blade on the benchmark....Press enter. Engage 2D Auto...the dozer blade will automatically adjust to the benchmark grade. If the dozer has cut a large amount of dirt to move...disengage 2D Grade Control. Assume manual control...cut to approximate grade. Engage 2D Grade Control and continue. 2D Grade Control can also be used for Percent of Slope and Percent of Grade (Increase or Decrease).
I can only imagine how much the contractor appreciates a level clean work site to lay out foundations, etc. Makes their job a lot easier I'm imagining.
Nice job as always think you may need a set of rippers for the dozer that clay looked hard but as is you got it done really nice pad when you finished for sure till next one Cheers
Around five minutes in you said "some beautiful red clay" just as I was thinking you need that clay on a dam job instead of this. But it will compact good on the fill areas.
Having your own trailer makes moving from 1 place to another easier & both machines have AC & that is nice. My soapbox, a nice JD 670 would have been handy for this leveling, oh well if wishes were horses beggars would ride. You’ll get 1 someday. Do get tired of me nagging about a grader ???
He's been looking but it seems that auction prices for something that doesn't have three wheels in the scrapyard is going for new prices. As long as he can rent John's grader it's not so critical.
I know that the ground is very hard but I've used a Tractor with a Box blade and let the Teeth down in the Box blade to be able to break up the Hard Red packed Dirt !
Dammit Man !! That clay was pretty freaking hard, it was turning the finish dozer sideways when you was trying to get it cut down !! But, you got it like you always do, had to get a little tough with the clay but, looking good Man !! Yeah Man, it always pays off, if you can do something little like that to help somebody out, when they are in a pinch like that to get started !! Great Work as always Chris !! Have a Great Evening, And On too the Next !! Hope you had a Great 4th. Holiday !!
@@BealyGood I bet you are after all of that pouring of concrete on the house. What a beautiful job you did before the pour because no mistake and it looks beautiful. I can't wait for the next floor after you rest up lol 😂
Hello My friend Chris and I'm wondering if you could level out the ground with your Road Grader and it seems like you would have a wider Grading and much easier to be able to level out the ground and for the House pad!
Nice seeing pegs in the ground ,it's a pity the builder couldn't have laid out the house location for you,but you'll be back ,must be a game changer with being able to move the Komatsu on your trailer . Hey Chris ,are you planning to have the EGR and intake manifolds cleaned on the Ford ,as they tend to build up the carbon and create issues?
Nice short Letsdig18 friday episode is better than none. Chris definitely did a good job of getting that house pad ready for the builder. Makes his job way more easier.
Chris your doing A Great 👍😃 Job and you have All of the nessairy Equipment anyone needs to be able to do every type of major Jobs that a person needs to be able to do anything that needs to be done 👍✅ 😅 !
Amazes me that with all this good clay you have; you don’t build in brick…or maybe you do and I haven’t seen it? :-) So many of the houses and bungalows you have look so flimsily constructed with the kind of timber better suited for a bookcase. Is it because you anticipate replacing them far sooner than a brick built house maybe?
We use to help out our builders like that until they didn't want to pay us until the house was sold.sometimes 3 yrs.later.couldn't do it at our cost for that long.
@markpashia7067 Yeah, I'm guessing he's down under in beautiful Australia. I would love to go there for a vacation maybe for a month or two. I bet it's beautiful.
Hey Chris,I remember last year in a vídeo You said You'll expecting work until summer of 2024 but it's look's like You find work for a couple years more!😂😂😂😂
When u have a lot of work from previous clients/ reoccurring clients it speaks volumes on how good ur work is 💯
Chris has repeat customers because of his inpicable work. Always listening to what the customer wants but isn't shy in telling the customer the dos and don't s and explaining and suggesting to them his point of view but the customer is always right even if there not. Great job, Chris.
Always a good sign when former customers call you back for additional work!! On to the next project!!
For y'all that hasn't work with red clay its concrete when it's hot and slick and tacky when wet Chris is the man
Yes, Its nasty stuff, Especially in North Texas.
Thanks for posting you videos , I am new operator at 58 lol and I learn so much your videos. Yes I have gone through training before and are always learning new things from other operators your experience helps many people . Thanks
People are always learning, Anyone who says otherwise is up themselves 😮

That Komatsu has been a work horse for you. Good video Chris.
Just a thought... change your notification sound to an old cash register. That is what I hear every time it goes off. That would be halerious.
You sure keep Mr. Donnie busy hauling equipment back and forth to jobs - even those for Geoff Enterprises. Where I grew up, people took places that were old dairies during my childhood and made them into 1980s housing subdivisions.

Seems like the root rake would make the perfect mini rippers to open the top layer of clay. I could be wrong because I’ve never driven a dozer.
Thank you and have a great and awesome week.
I can only imagine how much the contractor appreciates a level clean work site to lay out foundations, etc. Makes their job a lot easier I'm imagining.
Push'n DIRT🙌
Komatsu is working boy. Nice work as always Chris.😊
Big fan of rippers on dozers . They make life so much easier.
Like the video Chris on this lot , shapen it for the house lots .
Nice job as always think you may need a set of rippers for the dozer that clay looked hard but as is you got it done really nice pad when you finished for sure till next one Cheers
A nice place to be building a house. You can access all four sides.
Very nice job again letsdig18
builder can put his footing/spoils dirt in the low spot!
❤❤❤ piece of cake…for letsdig18!
Won't even need to concrete the basement!!
You always do a great job chris
Turned out spot on. Amazing how it looks when take out 2 ft on the high side. Builder should love that.👍👍👍
Looks great as always. I guess it would have been to much of a muchness to get your D7 out there but it would have made quick work of that job.
Looks like the clay was giving the dozer a run for its money.
Around five minutes in you said "some beautiful red clay" just as I was thinking you need that clay on a dam job instead of this. But it will compact good on the fill areas.
Sure looks a nice spot for a house bro. That bit of land worked out well for Jeff. Safe travels. Ken.
Nice video Chris.
You sure have leveled the entire area and it looks fantastic Chris.
Having your own trailer makes moving from 1 place to another easier & both machines have AC & that is nice.

@@kenore4003
I have to agree with you, but I hope that you have to agree with me that a grader would have been nice to use on this project.
@@dirtfarmer7472 Absolutely!
What a beautiful lot.
I know that the ground is very hard but I've used a Tractor with a Box blade and let the Teeth down in the Box blade to be able to break up the Hard Red packed Dirt !
Perfekt to Prepare the Areal from a House lot, and building the Road to this Building Place. Good Video however 💪👍🤗

Great work sir
We have a very heavy frost so it is snow white here 😂😂😂😂😂😊
Steps are expensive, better do 10 grand worth of dirt work to alleviate them.
This is one of Bealy Good’s lots, right?
Yes
@@BealyGood You are being sneaky again. How are you doing? Thank you.
@@dennis2376 finally took a day off. I’m tired 🤣
@@BealyGood I bet you are after all of that pouring of concrete on the house. What a beautiful job you did before the pour because no mistake and it looks beautiful. I can't wait for the next floor after you rest up lol 😂
Is this projects with Geoff and your self certainly looking level good job it's dry eles would be sloppy mess ole happy American independence day 🎉🎉
Chris great video again.
Tearing out that red clay looks like you’re trying to knock down a dam.
Sounds like that seat suspension needs some oil that would drive me crazy
Hello Chris, Don't you have rippers for the Komatsu? I thought rippers would cut the hard clay faster.
Just a thought, maybe scratching that crust up with your root rake might help cutting that downl
Great work on leveling the lot! 💪
Hi mate another job well done keep up the good work looking forward to seeing your next job
Hello My friend Chris and I'm wondering if you could level out the ground with your Road Grader and it seems like you would have a wider Grading and much easier to be able to level out the ground and for the House pad!
would the root rake act as a ripper for the dozer instead of using the hard edge of the blade on the hard clay
Hey Sarah, a lot. It's going to be nice for a house. Great work. 👍👍🙂🇨🇦
Nice.
A 3 shank parallel ripper would have been a great help. But you achieved the desired results.
cut n fill noice!!
I think your Komatzu is wondering where the D6 is😂
Youre dozer have some issues it is packed down very hard
Make great pond area wouldn't it
Nice seeing pegs in the ground ,it's a pity the builder couldn't have laid out the house location for you,but you'll be back ,must be a game changer with being able to move the Komatsu on your trailer .

GOOD MORN SATURDAY FROM AUSTRALIA
That is cool Peace out

good video
I bet Betty would make short work of that
nice driveway
Very good video content Thax 👍😃👍
It’s hard to keep up with the projects. So much going on at one time
👍👍
One of the few places you have worked, where a ripper on the Dozer would have been handy. That clay was hard.
I am in Tasmania in the north of the state we have mountains around us which make it colder we are in for rain 🌧 in a few days again 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Sun shine for the next couple of days in BC Canada then maybe rain again. :(
Looks like a good spot for a pond out back??
Great job 👍🏻
We use to help out our builders like that until they didn't want to pay us until the house was sold.sometimes 3 yrs.later.couldn't do it at our cost for that long.
Too bad the D7 doesn't have a/c. Hard soil wouldn't stand a chance.
Nice
THANKS!
Brilliant 🤩
A ripper might’ve helped, but if you don’t have one then you make do with whatever you do have.
🤗❤️👍
Hope this helps you: Video title suggestion - Leveling a House Lot OR Cutting a House Lot. "More level" isn't possible, as it's level or unlevel.
Chris, is the house going to set on four feet of fill? Or is it going to set on what was the hill? Just wondering.
LetsDig18!
👍👍👍
How much would you charge for that day's work ?
What happened to the videos with big Hyundai haul truck? On the big pond job?........🤔🤔🤔.....I know!!!
Fine dozer work. Steps ate overrated the older we get.
Are you in Georgia Chris? The clay looks like Georgia red clay.
Chris, just curious, it seems you omly use the Cat dozers fro pushing debree into a burn pile. All the grading jobs you choose the Kamatsu?
Komatsu is the best grading dozer
how you pri ce the dirt
Good Saturday morning everyone I hope you all enjoy your day we have a-2 degrees ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Cold, and a day ahead of the USA must mean you are south of us by a lot. Guessing those degrees are Celcius not F.
30 degrees Celsius in the lower main land of BC, Canada. :)
@markpashia7067 Yeah, I'm guessing he's down under in beautiful Australia. I would love to go there for a vacation maybe for a month or two. I bet it's beautiful.
Good morning my friend 😊❤🤗✨👍💐
Here we go.....
🎉
Why not use your Cat D7 for this job?
Is this a repost from yesterday.
Hey Chris,I remember last year in a vídeo You said You'll expecting work until summer of 2024 but it's look's like You find work for a couple years more!😂😂😂😂
I am on the island below the big one so far colder than the mainland 😂😂😂😂😂
Never fail to make that some dressed up dirt❤❤❤❤❤
