When I was young in the ’60’s in the summer I would spend a week at my grandparents and go to work with my grandfather. He was a dozer operator building roads and strip mining in Mississippi. What you can a motor grader we called a road grader. I can see how it works both ways. The very early graders were pulled by horses and later by a tractor. They finally put the motor on the grader. In my case my grandparents lived on a gravel road and the country would come around periodically and grade the potholes and make it smooth again, hence a road grader. I love your videos and all the equipment that you own and have mastered. Keep the videos coming! Thanks.
My father in law and ex-husband both used to operate those. Theres a 1930’s motor grader in front of the VDOT area headquarters in Bedford County VA. It’s really cool. It would have been pulled by a tractor. And the term they used for cleaning the edges was called pulling shoulders.
I thought for sure the left corner of the arena looked like it was on a slant so I put the video on pause, got out my laser elevation level and then pointed it the corner, turns out the corner was fine.... It's the broken caster on the back of my chair that was throwing me off.
That is 99.9% the operator. I knew of one grader operator that the inspectors would spot check. But they said “if said it is good” you knew if it was within a fraction of an inch everywhere
One of the lovely things about this D7 is how simple and uncomplicated it is compared to the stuff of today. Today’s designers could learn a thing or to by taking a look back.
With Two Dozers,two rollers and a grader,Chris you need some cardboard cutouts of yourself,sit them in the machines and set them going ,five Chris's working at the same time ! You certainly have that ,can do attitude .
well done, nice you can haul all your smaller equipment on your new trailer, so pleased you are finally getting some summer rain with the storms.. it has been so dry for a while..
Oh Yeah, Man both pads turned out really nice !! That Big Pad sure looked good, when ya got that last shot looking down it from the top !! You sure got the touch Chris, when ya get down to the finishing Man !! Another Great job !! Have a Great Evening, And, On too the Next !! Yeah, believe your gonna get a bit of rain this week in your neck of the woods !! Glad we are getting a break from all that heat here in W. Ky. for a welcome change. But, looks like the rain has set up going east towards you guys !! Well, may be you can go and rip out some more tress on that other farm, if it don't flood ya out to bad.... Have a Great Evening Man !!
It is amazing to me that there is that much clay on that hilltop. I remember the vet clinic lot that was nothing but rock. Interesting dirt where you live and work.
Hello Chris, so far I have watched all of this construction of the horse arena and there is alot of planning goes into this, let alone all the machines to do this job. I love your all your videos I have watched. Thanks Stephen
You definitely had to push some serious dirt.all your machines are looking good out there on this project.they sure that’s where they want the barn to be ,only that is only spot left,should be fine.great video,great job.just keep on doing your thing.be safe.now that you have most of your toys isn’t it about time to start looking at buying another farm or large land parcel, and maybe becoming a developer,not that you don’t have the time.just saying it’s a idea.great video again,looks great so far.😎😎😎👍👍👍
The Building from a Perfect Horse Arena. Much Work from great Precision! But the is not the first Arena what You make. Gladd my in the next Time the Video from the Complete Arena to see. 👍🤗
Brilliant job Chris, PLEASE would you consider making the video's a bit longer, been watching you for quite a wile now, it's very therapeutic watching you do such a good job, Thank you from the UK,
There's absolutely no doubt that when Chris is contracted to make a pad of any kind the owner is going to be extremely happy they hired him to get it done right. I love the under camera shots of Chris working the motorgrader. It's the time we get to really see Chris sculpting dirt into the shape he wants it to be.
Chris can we get a picture of that last big pond you built with the island in the middle , the one behind the shop building with the fence all around it and see how much water is in it?..
A lot of finicky work. :) When setting the blade for the grader how do you know that you set it at the right height and not to deep? Thank you and have a great day.
Yeah, um, I just wanted to know if you ever need any help on jobs that you do by yourself cause I need work and I want to come up there and work for you if you can have any openness.

When I finished school in 1965 I went to work building roads. The old timers called a grader a motor patrol.
@@douglasgraham2101Yes, you are right. I remember them called that as well. So many years have passed since then! 😊

We have a horse drawn grader in front of our museum, made by Adams, IIRC. Was converted to tractor drawn long ago. Pretty cool piece
@@DeweyCheatumNHoweLLC When you get in that area it would be nice to snap s picture and post it.
Chris is so very good at 3D planning. I wonder if he knows others just can't see volumes of material the way he does.
I thought for sure the left corner of the arena looked like it was on a slant so I put the video on pause, got out my laser elevation level and then pointed it the corner, turns out the corner was fine.... It's the broken caster on the back of my chair that was throwing me off.
😅😂😅😂
😂😂😂😂
🤣🤣🤣
Now that's funny
Lol😂😂😂😂
That D7 looks great pushing dirt! C&C Did a great job restoring it!
I love how she always starts first crank, every time... and sounds smooth as silk, even when cold. Great machine.
That grader is like a magic wand! The arena looks so smooth now, it’s ready for a red carpet event! 🤓
That is 99.9% the operator. I knew of one grader operator that the inspectors would spot check. But they said “if said it is good” you knew if it was within a fraction of an inch everywhere
Chris's friend Charlie is a very good grader operator. I've seen him running one a few times Chris was at Charlie's job site.
Even though you got 3 inches of rain TweeD7 showed you it was still dry underneath. The Pond Master is becoming the Horse Arena Master.
It doesn't matter what equipment you work, you make them all do magic. That pad looks awesome, Chris. Thanks for sharing with us.

You certainly have that ,can do attitude .
Beautiful grading on this horse arena. Each of those 6 machines makes this so, plus the operator of course.
Smooth operator on the Motor grader. Arena looks great. Thanks Chris. Have a great evening.
well done, nice you can haul all your smaller equipment on your new trailer, so pleased you are finally getting some summer rain with the storms.. it has been so dry for a while..
Way to read the weather!! Your thinking allowed you keep working!! Always good to see the grader! 😊
Oh Yeah, Man both pads turned out really nice !! That Big Pad sure looked good, when ya got that last shot looking down it from the top !!

That looks great Chris.❤😊
Nice looking finish, I like the way you were using the laser to put crown on the arena, always a way. Thanks for the update, enjoyed watching.
Thanks for shots showing amount of clay the D7 is pushing ❤❤❤
39:45 " Got it roped off so the horses can't stomp around and make a mess of it " 🤣🤣🤣 Famous last words ...
Beautiful work !!!! Thank you for sharing. ❤
Such SMOOTH Precision 👌 😎 YOU can Dig in EVERY WITCH WAY,LOLOLOL.GREAT MOMENTS! Thanks for sharing again 👍 🙏 Stay Safe and Let's Dig 18,,,❤
Awesome job!
It is amazing to me that there is that much clay on that hilltop. I remember the vet clinic lot that was nothing but rock. Interesting dirt where you live and work.
Up the valley from Vancouver it would be called an Equestrian Center.
Looks like an Architectural Graphic Standards illustration of an Equestrian Arena.

It sure looks nice Chris and in very timely manner. 👌

Excellent job. Happy horsing around in the future there.
Have a good weekend Chris!
It’s turning out very well and looks great but you always make what you’re doing look awesome 👍😎🇺🇸 NY
Nice job the arena is looking great
The clay looks to be top quality. It nice to change plans a little now. This project will pick up speed next video. Hopefully we can keep up.
Smooth as an ice rink after the Zamboni
Good job mate love your work as usual looking forward to seeing your next video
that's on site clay that I never saw even a chance of sourcing when this project started, that was a magic act Chris
They hired the right guy for this job, you almost built a football field, love the grading videos, well done sir.
Yep looks good bro, your toys work well together on big or small jobs you get. Safe travels. Ken.

Hey Chris, make sure you get the hoses approval now, lol. Dave D.
Brilliant job Chris, PLEASE would you consider making the video's a bit longer, been watching you for quite a wile now, it's very therapeutic watching you do such a good job, Thank you from the UK,
This is much better than Dirt Perfects Pod Cast!
Love the video on this cite Chris .
That clay looks perfect for a pond dam.... Stickky
Look good . Nice job Thanks
Nice video!
Perfect project for the D7. Too much debris in that first stumping job with it last year for it to really shine.
There's absolutely no doubt that when Chris is contracted to make a pad of any kind the owner is going to be extremely happy they hired him to get it done right.
I love the under camera shots of Chris working the motorgrader.
It's the time we get to really see Chris sculpting dirt into the shape he wants it to be.
Hi Chris and everyone from northwest Missouri now Chris needs to find a D8 D9 D10 D11 to do work with and make dirt perfect jealous 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Man’ I think the motor grader makes everything shine.
All dressed up. Looks awesome❤❤❤❤❤
Great looking finish!
Yeah like I have said before. When the grader shows up on the project it’s getting down to the end .
Hi Todd, When Chris brings out the motor grader, you can count on perfection because he is a perfectionist 👍👍👍
@@ryanhoward1013 you are right
You need to have Clint get you a Deere or classic Cat grader of your own.
Awesome job Chris looks great
Nice video Chris.
That D7 sure is a beast. Purrs like a kitten.
Always shocked how fast your soils dry out!
Once this job completed it will be horse tested Mr. Ed approved. I wonder what Wilbur will have to say?
Great job 👍🏻
That D7 likes pushing so much it pushed the same blade full three times!
Chris can we get a picture of that last big pond you built with the island in the middle , the one behind the shop building with the fence all around it and see how much water is in it?..
Another Masterpiece
Dad D7 showing Junior how it's done 💪💪
You have a lot of projects
You make it look easy
Looks really great gonna be a nice arena
Taking care of business looks good
You are amazing at your trade.😊
Well I see the horse's are out there supervising you're work lol
Chris, you were taking half of the push back with you😂 I think you were suppose to leave it at the end of your push😂😂😂😂
We're still push'n dirt👍
It feels like we've been grading this barn pad for a week.
Have you thought about using the root rake on the D7 or Kumatsu when breaking hard ground like for the horse arena??
Gotta couple yards of dirt stuck on the blade of the D7 there lol
boy musical chairs with the barn
A lot of finicky work. :) When setting the blade for the grader how do you know that you set it at the right height and not to deep? Thank you and have a great day.
Fun stuff!
Looking great. How many tons of screenings is that going to take?
600
LetsDig18!😊
👍👍👍
What great american iron. 🇺🇲
MM77 Approved 👍🏻 👍🏻
Yeah, um, I just wanted to know if you ever need any help on jobs that you do by yourself cause I need work and I want to come up there and work for you if you can have any openness.
Good morning my friend 🌞😊❤
Draining is good
Are you building the roads and parking lot for the barn?
Love 🎉
G'day mate weren't in the national equipment league?
Are those Crepe Myrtles lining the one side along the fence?
Are there markings for level on the grader?
Can you link your grader to your laser level chris?
slick...
How do you charge, by the hour or do you bid. Ag-pilot ready to retire, and maybe looking for a job
Both depends on the job
Give the d7 a name.
good video
Those horses don't have have a care in the world. I figured with the sound of the machines they'd stay away.
So how many tons of sand will you spread on the foundation of the arena?
I think 600 tons
❤😊
👏👏
🤗❤️👍
