    Cold weather, cold steel and a fire what a wonderful day. Beats working in an office any day.

    @kimsapp1791 Před rokem +31

    You “got me” again, sir. I was thinking “he can’t possibly get any more dirt into that dump truck”. An there ya go…… putting like five more into it. The laughs on me again. A full day of work is what I truly see today. Thank you for sharing.

    @dwaynekoblitz6032 Před rokem +4

    Another DP collab! Since he did his seals why not come help do yours. The followers of both of you, like many of us, will absolutely love that. The clearing is monotonous but you're running everything. Very cool!

    You know, it has to be sooo satisfying coming into a raw piece of land, and then seeing it transform with each day polishing it into a gem.

  • @DMAN10
    @DMAN10 Před rokem +4

    Everyday is such a huge transformation! The LD18 1-man band is just rockin it. Hurricane to frost in a span of like 3 weeks…crazy weather. The long Summer days of fighting to keep the AC working, have switched to “heater mode”…lol! Thanks for sharing Chris!

    This couple of lots are shaping up real nice.
    Sooner or later there'll be a couple of houses with beautiful yards of grass all thanks to Chris's ability with excavation equipment.
    Maybe one day the Lady owners will call him back to build them a nice little pond and we'll get tp see how it turned out.

    I hope you video when you and Mike are working on Barney, Mike is a good mechanic and it’s good to see y’all helping each other Chris! Can’t wait to see brother, you sure made good progress on this job Chris! Hopefully you’ll get Betty back in the team and get her home, I’d love to see her sitting next to your latest track loader at your farm! Just to see the difference, thanks for sharing these interesting videos Chris! Stay safe and healthy brother!

  • @kittty2005

  • @GraeMatterz

    For a one man crew, you sure get a lot done Chris! Jump from one machine to the next brother, guess that’s what keeps the bills paid brother! Good luck my friend and I hope you take time to get your flu shot before it’s gets really cold! Please stay healthy my friend! 🤙🏻🤙🏻

    It is great to see working on other job's. That 5 acre pond project has used a bunch of your time. Still you are a very very smooth machine operator with that Volvo and all of your other equipment too. Please Take Care of yourself plus be Careful around all heavy equipment. ✨️👍😎

  • @46rambo49
    @46rambo49 Před rokem +2

    we have a D4 and a Komatsu like yours in the yard, when fine grading came up everybody would fight over them to get it done, they both do equally fine jobs. However we acquired a D5 with the 5# lgp tracks and it out shines them both moving more dirt with precision. The fixed a lot of the issues and it is a dream to service

  • @hopalong4822
    @hopalong4822 Před rokem +17

    When Dirt Perfect comes down I would like to see you guys using excavators to shuffle, deal, and play cards. That would be a good show because you guys are both prerty good. If that is to easy you could take turns doing card tricks.

    • @debbiewebber1582

      I once said "18" could ice a cake with his dozer.🎂

  • @AkAv8er
    @AkAv8er Před rokem +1

    When DP swings by would be a great time to use the extra hands to restore the 6 wheel drive as well as the wheel seals on the haul truck. You are probably just as (perhaps more) anxious to get it to its full capability as the rest of us. Amazing how much one man can accomplish when having the right tools!

  • @everestyeti
    @everestyeti Před rokem +1

    That D6 is definitely my favourite, was wondering when you were going to fire it up. The dozer of my childhood, not like these new fangled high tech machines that work out the levels for you. That's new machines are like driving an automated electric car, soulless!

  • @rustysteel8714

    @kathydellit4235 Před rokem +6

    Hey Chris I am not a machinery operator at all but love to watch it work you are the best operator I have ever watched I was wondering if you thought that hungry boards on your dozer blades would be a great idea to stop brush coming over the top of your blades when you are pushing brush piles or stick raking

  • @heatherlane9270
    @heatherlane9270 Před rokem +2

    One man and his fleet in action, including smoking flappy cap. Great to be able to watch this project coming to fruition.

  • @lawrencegray4464
    @lawrencegray4464 Před rokem +1

    Hi Chris, great work and good content. If I can make an observation it is you have to do a lot of reversing when pushing or raking with the dozers, on your larger sites can you not have burn piles at each end of the site to allow you to push or rake in the opposite direction to save all of that reversing you do.

  • @ryanhoward1013
    @ryanhoward1013 Před rokem +1

    Idk if you have enough cameras and tripods but I think it’d be cool if you left a camera on a tripod set out of the way a bit but facing one of these burn piles and we can see a time lapse of the pile burning down as you feed it. Just a thought

    I bet it was 'frosty' in Carolina - we had upper 30s here in N. Fla. Yeaaa, Chris resurrected coals to restart a fire! Looking forward to a video of DP helping you with Barney`s wheel seals [and maybe brake systems and lockers]. Wilma dozer does not disappoint on cold starts. Freezing time is approaching - have you checked all equipment for antifreeze in radiators?

    Its a pain burning all that brush on Mother Nature's schedule but I note that your use of the word "aggravating" is considerably less on this job than on others (e.g., busting rocks at the animal hospital). It looks to me that you are pleased to have a project where you are not bothered by anybody and can make a plan and execute it in peace and quiet.
