For as many hours you must have in the seat, I'm sure it does seem mundane. It's so relaxing to watch you make those machines operate. Smooth and accurate, consistently through all your projects. No matter what the machine, your in control. Thank You Sir for sharing it with all of us. It's simply makes my day complete watching you do your work.
Great to see the big 250 back in action again, I like how you look after your machines, & keep them clean, it show how you take pride in looking after them, & thanks for another good video too.
@@dawnbradrick6289 Same witn cars. And I keep mine for at least 15 years. Some neighbors or relatives asked me over the years how I do it, keeping them that long. Some had same cars or brands and they had tons of troubles. Easy: You look at their cars or trucks, the're rolling pigpens ! No wonders !
Thank you for taking the time to compile, edit and post your videos at the same time as working 6 or 7 days a week!! They are informative, relaxing and entertaining.
Chris I know your job is pretty mundane by your standards, but I do love to see it when you explain the specs of your equipment like the 54” bucket etc etc, and maintenance work, it’s a nice small change of pace from the daily stumping recently, lol. Keep up the awesome videos man!
At least when you're using John's equipment he has to pay for repairs. LOL. Of course, I don't wish problems for John but sometimes you have to take a break from breaking your own equipment. At least that's probably how it feels some days. But after owning and working with equipment for 40 years it's not if it will break it's when will it break. Good maintenance is the key to keeping them running well and it appears that you have great schedules with your maintenance. Keep up the good work Chris, love watching your videos every day.
Oldscool watching you for years now. It was such a cool moment you getting back in the 250 again after such a long time. For me it was kinda the same, watching and hearing you saying it. Immediately we’ve seen the amazing difference between your other excavators and this beast of a machine. Quit an experience seeing it. Finally after long time seeing you rule all excavators, if I may say so, we have seen some bad ass digging again. No mud, slush or anything. All is cool, but just digging and moving sand, so cool. Thanks man.✌🏼😃
I love watching the 250 crunch trees when you’re clearing house lots, she’s a beast crunching those trees Chris! I remember when you and Tim changed the teeth on the bucket and showed how big the bucket is with y’all standing by it! I know she’s slower than the 220 but she’s definitely stronger brother! I’ve seen you do some damage with the big girl! lol 😂 I bet she loads trucks pretty fast too, yeah she moves some material my friend! 👌🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻 Chris, have you been back to the animal hospital job lately to see how it’s looking? I remember you digging all those boulders out and John hauling them to that property where y’all dug those big pits to bury them and build up the he land owners low property so he could have more pasture and farm land! That was a real workout on the excavators on that job brother, lots of big boulders there! You’re just a smooth operator on any machine Chris, I enjoy watching you operate equipment my friend! Plus that big girl loads that truck with ease and less scoops, lots of material to bury! Thanks for sharing Chris, stay safe and as always I’ll be praying for you and your family! I hope the boys are doing well,( Winston and Franklin) ! Thanks Chris!👌🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻🙏🏻🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 Kirk from Louisiana 🙋🏼♂️🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
You & John make a formidable team. I don't think anyone could keep up with you two! That looked nice & ready to build on when you were done. Thanks for sharing.
It’s fun seeing a job your Uncle John has been working on. It’s easy to forget that he very likely taught you an awful lot of what you now know!! He is off getting it done the same time you are!! Glad to see you still working with the family business. Hope it’s been a good week for the both of you!!
Yeah, Ol 250 can get some stuff moved pretty quick !! Looked like an easy job there, there was more in those 2 piles you rowed up than it looked !! Great as always Chris !! Have a Great Evening... And, On too the Next !!
Chris it seems you can't get away from those stumps lol great video, you sure can make that dozer sing, I enjoy watch you run your equipment and how you keep them clean and good repair. You have such great pride in everything you do and own.
Over the years of LetsDig18 video’s I wonder how many operators have become better operators from watching your technical techniques and your thought processes as to how you organize your work flow. Lot’s of them I’d bet. Thanks you Chris for everything that you contribute to the community!
It is good to see the 250 at work. Don't see it often enough. It is a bit to big for some of your work. Just a great machine. Also, seeing Tim in your newer vids was a treat. You two were great together. Miss him. I was wondering if the next time Tim is with you, maybe you could have some interview time with him just to see how he is doing. That would be great. I really like all of your vids. Been following you for about 4 years. Great information. Keep up the good work!
G'day from Australia 🇦🇺 Chris. I've been involved in quarries and mining for many years. Love your finess and expertise. There's a saying in these industries, there are operators and there are drivers and you surely are an operator. Thanks for the honesty. I really love that little dozer mate. Perfect for the farm!
Thanks for posting Chris, Your videos are a big part of my day and sue do appreciate what you do! So who broke the drivers side barge board on John's truck?
Had to laugh when you said how big the rock was, I so wish I could post you some pictures of where I’m working and you could see some of the monster rocks we works with. I guess that’s to be expected working on a glacier mountain. Awesome video as always Chris.
Kind of confused me with digging up sand and shale at the bottom to make a pit for top soil, root mass, and bio char not counting the microbes. Just seemed strange to me. Grand Father would have made a pile out of that stuff out of the way and waited five years or so before spreading it around as some quality top soil to enrich areas that had played out. Of course some can't stand the sight of a pile like that as they wait for it to break down. I guess the customer is always right so you do what they want to with it.
3 yards of material with a cycle time of 12 seconds or there about ain't too shabby. All things considered, you could load out an on-road truck in a minute. That's kicking azz and taking names.
I like the 250. and in your line of work you need one. and I want one just for the hell of it. but the 160 is more my size just to play around with you and John stay safe.
The 250 & Betty are two of my favorites to watch you go hard in, I've watched a lot of your videos over the last couple of years so I already seen no matter the size of the machine you working with you always go hard, but the 250 is a huge machine bruh, I've seen a couple of them up here in Boston on job sites & on low boy flat beds, whenever there on flat beds up here they have to have an escort because their so damn huge oh & cause there's a overwhelming number of idiot drivers up here that will do something dumb like cutting off one of these big boys that would be carrying a 80,000 pound machine, love the video as always bruh 💯
At first glance it looked like you were at your new field and tree line that you were working with Fourway Francine. An inground swimming pool rough dig would take 20 minutes with that 250 - it does move lots of material. Big rock,,,,like Rock Hill Animal Clinic job.
Hillsboro pits where you putting all that old topsoil and Ash and small trees and branches and another ten or fifteen years they could dig that up and it would be some pretty nice topsoil I bet
I have buried and dug up buried stumps if they are covered well enough to where no oxygen is getting to them they actually won't rot almost at all for decades its pretty crazy but if you leave them sitting on the ground it only takes a few years
I have to admit you startled me when you moved to the outside view. Seeing that big bucket coming at you is not good. :) An interesting small job. Question how many jobs does John and you run at a time? Thank you and have a great day.
As you were fighting with that stump early in the video, I kept thinking, "The lil' Kabota says, 'I think I can, I think I can, I think I can. I knew I could, I knew I could, I knew I could.'"
You know you look like you're having way too much fun with that excavator you know I wish I was I could be that big of a kid and be able to play with my Tonka toys like that again
Surprised you didn't use the root rake Chris, I think the 250 would have been quicker on that stump in the beginning of the vid too...lol You are stubborn and had to use the dozer!
im curious ,how has uncle responded to your expanded enterprise,, ,supportive, ,proud, begrudgingly going with it? is nice to see his equipment on site ,but the weld on the exhaust pipe of the dozer always buggs me,lol....also, is any of your hrandfathers equipment still around,,,thanks for the awesome content,,,subscriber for years ,wear your hoodies with pride.with t-shirts were v-neck,,hint hint
I know the 210B they use to have his G-Dad ran, Chris said he had to clean the mud out of the cab after his Grandfather stuck it in a dredging😝, but the 220 replaced it… I would enjoy more G-Dad stories too….
Do you like the 250 over the 220? Performance specs are similar, the 250 is only a little heavier but is it worth the price difference? I think the 220 is the better buy. What do you think?

I think Chris needs a holiday so he doesn't have to worry about any work for awhile
@@donaldalexanderrichards4422 He will just end up doing stuff around farm. But that might be his way to take a break.

Chris you and John work so well together! Thanks for sharing! Kevin
Always a pleasure to watch you work. That 250 can really move some material. Thanks very much for sharing.
It’s been a rough week for me, here in Michigan, your posts have made it bearable. Thanks for your hard work.
Good seeing the 250 in a video. Enjoyed the various jobs in this site!! Good little project! On to the next one!
Yeah, Ol 250 can get some stuff moved pretty quick !! Looked like an easy job there, there was more in those 2 piles you rowed up than it looked !! Great as always Chris !! Have a Great Evening... And, On too the Next !!
Great job with the 250 Chris, that bucket sure can move a lot. Take care & cheers 🐨🦘🥰
Love the way you are burying the crap @ 37:30 rather than burning it ... well done !!
Chris it seems you can't get away from those stumps lol great video, you sure can make that dozer sing, I enjoy watch you run your equipment and how you keep them clean and good repair. You have such great pride in everything you do and own.
That kubota sure is a lovely machine and expertly driven
Occasionally I forget how large that bucket is until I see it over the dump truck and am immediately reminded. Fantastic video.

I haven't seen that dozer in a while nice to see the old girl, she's much quieter than yours LOL
Its got a nice therapeutic grunt about it.
His new one sounds like a granny doing 45 in 1st gear.
Man that 250 can haul some dirt real quick! Thanks for sharing Chris!

Thanks for posting Chris, Your videos are a big part of my day and sue do appreciate what you do! So who broke the drivers side barge board on John's truck?
Nice clean up, 3 yards at time with the bucket full, it doesn’t take long to load out or dig out. Thanks for the ride along sir, I enjoyed it.
Fied is in good order now. Burying ashes and sticks is a good thing......better than taking to landfill. 👍👏👊💪

Living in Central Ontario on the thin skin of topsoil created since the lace glacier melted, I hate to see good organics like those buried!
Back to the 250 great machine everything seems to be going as planned great job great video thanks Chris
Great upload once again.Keep them coming Chris 👍🏻
Another job well done . Always a very professional job
Stoney Ridge Farmer just showed a product. That-can fix leaks in dams
Can't believe how well you and your uncle work together ...
@lets dig 18....I don't know why, but I hold my breath and "push" whenever you dig up stumps. One of these days, you're going to kill me🤪.
3 yards of material with a cycle time of 12 seconds or there about ain't too shabby. All things considered, you could load out an on-road truck in a minute. That's kicking azz and taking names.
Love the videos and as always keep up the great work!
the 250is nice and quite and tight. I noticed the 160 is tight again on the bucket on yesterdays vid. nice job fellas. cheers.
That video is so freaking clear it's like I'm standing right there with you
Thank you, for giving me something to watch daily
Awesome, that’s a great job that y’all did.
I like the 250. and in your line of work you need one. and I want one just for the hell of it. but the 160 is more my size just to play around with you and John stay safe.
The 250 is definitely a smooth mover, 💪👀👍.
I like your new sun glasses.
I bet Uncle John is more proud of you than he admits at times.
Bet he thinks back with a smile when Chris was a young'n dreaming about moving dirt.
Good to see the 250 in action bro it makes great viewing. Safe travels
Love to watch the big equipment in person. That job didn't take you very long to make a difference.

Sure looks good when you are finished.
Chris, that 250 is a beast... Great Video.
Looks a lot better than before you started.
At least it’s a beautiful day there for doing dirt work.keep on doing what your doing 👍👍👍😎😎😎
Looks good Chris👍👍👍👍👍👍
I would love to see a picture of the 250 and 220 together
I like this dozer better than your new one it sounds healthier that new one sounds like it's flying apart!

Love that 250 digging! 👍
Smooth as a billiard table.👍👍👍👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
You need to ask John to borrow the 250 for the 5 acres pond your on will make the digging go faster lol
How long does it take you to clear and have 1 acre ready for use Chris?
With all that Sand that would make a good spinach patch. Or litter box. 👍👍
You know you look like you're having way too much fun with that excavator you know I wish I was I could be that big of a kid and be able to play with my Tonka toys like that again
Looks awesome nice work Chris.
When Chris found that tree stump at 3:20, after about 30 seconds I imagine he was thinking "Damn, I wish I had my D6, or the 953 here"
Yeah I would have went and cranked the 250 up and plucked that sucker out
The sand looks like what you were hauling out of your pond inlet yesterday.
Chris and John make for a great team
As much as I appreciate your videos Chris, every once in a while we need a little Winston come visit
Chris that is some pretty dirt you are spreading .
Chris that big high capacity bucket would look awfully nice on the 220, and another awesome job as always love the videos.
That job looks good!
SALUDOS CHRIS. ANOTHER GREAT VIDEO AS ALWAYS. NICE JOB WELL DONE, KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK.
Surprised you didn't use the root rake Chris, I think the 250 would have been quicker on that stump in the beginning of the vid too...lol You are stubborn and had to use the dozer!
You need a Volvo rubber tire loader.😊
Always so.Clean
If only you had access to an excavator for a stump like that. 😁

more video from letdig18... lets see what we have now.... so excited
MAN! That 250 can MOVE some dirt! 😳
Yourself an DP need to do more with the Econ the way it is
you need the 250,the a30d,and john to help you on the bealy dam project
Do you like the 250 over the 220? Performance specs are similar, the 250 is only a little heavier but is it worth the price difference? I think the 220 is the better buy. What do you think?
Love that big 250 it can work with is big buckit .
Well you found the sand for Bealy Lake Beach !
U r an education. Its plain to see that people need diesel to increase productivity.
Hey Chris, whatever happen to that side job with the New Animal Hospital?..you know, the ROCKY MOUNTAIN site??
That site was ruff! Would enjoy a filmed drive by!!🫰🏽👍
Honest question: Who takes care of the puppies while you work all day?
Must have been a lot stuff in the pit seem like you had serval dump truck loads of dirt left
great job buddy and great video as always buddy 😎👊🏻👍🏻
Looking good 👍
Thanks Chris 👏👏👏👏🍺🍺❤️🇬🇧
Your neat trimming looks good but now I feel bad about the trees growing like weeds which means your job is never done so enjoy your free time.
It would have took less time to just walk over to the excavator and easier on the dozer getting the stump out just saying lol.
