When I was 12, my Sisters Husband Hank would ask me if I wanted to come out with him and watch/experience what he was doing and I always said yes please and loved every minute of it. He would counsel me to listen to the sounds the machines made and explain that they were communicating with him about pushing to hard or going too fast or too slow. I loved going to work with Hank. He loved to go hunting and he was coming home through a freak wind storm on the Hope Princeton Highway .
I don't care if it makes me sound crazy, but it's my favorite view Chris provides. Especially since its not one we see often compared to others. Totally agree.
Nice weather for burning. The owner of this acreage must be happy with the way it looks now. Grader does a great job with road formation. Tractor from home - farmer Chris is on the road :).
Been a while since I got to see Chris working his motorgrader. My favorite piece of equipment he operates for some reason. I guess it's the way he uses it to finesse rock and dirt into where he wants it. Underbelly shots are the best.
Having duplicates of excavators, dozers but different really you to spread yourself around as different locations come to be ready instead of hauling one piece of equipment over and over
You do a good job with your brush burning, a dirty and difficult job. I've burned a lot of brush piles, on a monthly basis for 32+yrs. Probably 3-5% only burned perfectly, all of the other piles were a lot of work! I finally accepted that brush burning was difficult, "just the nature of the beast." Thanks for the video.
Chris can you show us newbies how you operate that Motor Grader, of all the machines you use I find that one the most fascinating because it appears to need the most finesse?
And "Poof" !! He Gone !! lololol...Yeah, that place turned out pretty nice Chris. Like all the Oaks you left spread around the lot there !! Great as always, Have a Great Evening, And, On too the Next !!
I really enjoy watching and learning from your videos. Even at the age of 67, you've made a positive difference in how I run equipment. It's definitely more effective and easier on the machines. Thank you!
Not sure if your guy has a center dump, but when we deliver gravel we can spread it 2-3 inches thick with a center dump trailer and there is almost no grading needed.
Chris I was the rock guy. I picked rock from the age of when I could walk until I was 13 and then my grandfather finally got a rocker or AD rocker. I'd like to know how come you don't have a rocsir. You know, it would really, really help you a lot.
Chris…..long time viewer here….all 👍! Next time you’re on the road grader, would love to hear your thoughts and considerations on what goes into building a road from scratch…..soil removal…clay base types and depths….overlayment types and gravel information based on what you’re trying to achieve at different price points. To a layperson like me, it looks like there might have been gravel soils that could have been used here…. but wouldn’t have worked. Incredible work ethic! Great videos and amazing content…..thanks for bringing us along
I’m not Chris, but here goes, many variables, are you planning on building at El Paso TX or Grand Rapids MI, the freeze line is so much different. Are you planning for a home or a commercial truck parking area, MI you start 4-5 ft deep TX start 1-2 ft deep that’s a significant difference. Look for someone local to get you started. Good luck with your search.
Chris, you doing an amazing job running every piece of equipment you get on. I used to tinker around With equipment when I worked for a Deere Dealer. The Motorgrader was my favorite. God Bless and Good Health. Thanks For The Videos.
Chris, the next Work what You can Finished. Burn the Heap from Shrub and Roots, grading the clear Areal and fill Stone and the last little Roots in a Hole and grading this Place. Then make You a Road with Gravel, seeding Grass on the Areal. To All this Work have You the Perfect Equipment, and Drive all Machine Perfect. However have You a Order in best Quality finished. 👌👍
My Dad called them “motor patrol grader”. He could build or repair any road just by eyeball and it was just perfect. The few times I tried his comment was “ that’s a fine washboard road son.
Another project coming to an end,now that just leaves you with what 4 or 5 more projects in different stages to do.great video as always.just keep doing what you do best.😎😎😎👍👍👍
Chris gets to light some fires. You could have wrapped a chicken in foil and cooked lunch in that smoldering pile. I love that song you started @ 20:55, any chance you can tell us the name or artist? Making sure its 'done right' is why you have so many repeat and new customers.
Question for you Chris. I truly don't know the answer to this. When you want to clean the dirt from all those roots and trees when your restacking, why don't you shake the stuff with the arm or the bucket? Is it bad for the equipment or just not work as well as picking it up and dropping it?
If someone plants a tree on this hole, the tree will thrive like no other business if the hole can support its weight. The forms of carbon and rich elements found in the burnt tree dust will support trees for years to come. I put ashes on our trees, and they love it. Just not too much at a time - have it sink in.
There are times I see Chris use a bucket like a tweezer picking up a toothpick. And days like this, with dirty, damp brush piles it's a toddler "helping" weed the garden. All about the conditions.
It’s oddly satisfying to watch the grader from underneath 👍
🤙

Agree
I thought I was the only one that thought that!!😁😁😁

If this video doesn’t show how busy and hectic your job can be sometimes they aren’t paying attention!! Enjoyed!!
This guy works like a dog. Swear.
Dump truck driver definitely knows what He's doing
I knew you couldn't resist burning the other pile :)
The trees you left really give some definition to the lot. They will have some nice shade in a few years.
Little Grader does a Great Job. Where there's smoke there is Fire. Never burn as quick as you like and the smoke, well it has a mind of its own :)
Nice weather for burning. The owner of this acreage must be happy with the way it looks now. Grader does a great job with road formation. Tractor from home - farmer Chris is on the road :).
CHRIS A MAN THAT'S ALWAYS ON A MISSION!!!!😂🎉😊
Another successful land transformation by the best dirt mover out there. Nice seeing Kyle at a distance. Thanks for sharing with us all, Chris.
That trailer sure is nice. Motor grader fits on it perfectly. Gotta make hay when the weather is right. Good job sir! 👍
Awesome that little grader!!!
Been a while since I got to see Chris working his motorgrader.
My favorite piece of equipment he operates for some reason.
I guess it's the way he uses it to finesse rock and dirt into where he wants it.
Underbelly shots are the best.
That new trailer is definitely coming in handy! That grader fits on there perfectly!
A grate job like always. Way to do it Chris.
enjoyed the video Chris, love your work.. block should look great with grass covering it..
Your grader is my favorite machine on CZcams.
Having duplicates of excavators, dozers but different really you to spread yourself around as different locations come to be ready instead of hauling one piece of equipment over and over
Has any one told Chris he does awesome work ?
Very good video Chris love it and love to see the exc, 220 going strong .
Howdy Chris! Have a great weekend Brother,take care and God Bless!!!❤😊

Can we get a update on the real deep pound you dug up? Random I know 🤣
Did YOU hit that👍 to help Chris🤔 Let's spread the word 💪

Looking great…build your burn piles on a piece of well casing going to the center. Can add a leaf blower to the end of it and supercharge it!
I really enjoy watching and learning from your videos. Even at the age of 67, you've made a positive difference in how I run equipment. It's definitely more effective and easier on the machines. Thank you!
Hey, it’s been awhile since we seen the moldboard shot. 👍🏻
Love that camera angle of the grader spreading the stone

Love to watch the road grader. It just kisses the gravel and spreads like magic. Great job Chris.
Always like your grading skills!!!
Perseverance!!! Let's Dig 18,,Over and over again! Thanks for sharing again 🙏 🙂
Great job your video are awesome😊 love to watch thanks in RI !😀😀

Better herrey I think .Jeff is trying to buy 10,000 more acres for you to clean.
Wouldn't be surprised 😂
Don’t know why I love watching this stuff for hours. But I do 🤷♂️
Great job 👍🏻
Chris, you doing an amazing job running every piece of equipment you get on. I used to tinker around With equipment when I worked for a Deere Dealer. The Motorgrader was my favorite. God Bless and Good Health. Thanks For The Videos.
I could watch the grader view for hours...
Happy bouncing. :) Was that John? Thank you and have a good day.
Good golly Miss Molly !!!😊❤
Kilye certainly can drive loading shovel job site looking Great
Always an excellent job Chris! Love burn day, nice road build, and that new trailer is going to be a money saver!
11:00. I know there have been numerous comments in the past but watching the camera angle of the grader smoothing out the roadway is memorizing.
Love your videos. Would also love to see more drone shots. And maybe some time lapse. On the bigger jobs. Keep up good work love walking your videos.
The whole area is looking good bro, Great to have good friends who are good operators too. Safe travels. Ken.
Glad to see the grader on the project. Atleast they didn’t have to put up with mosquitoes for a day .
Mosquitos and flies are an ever present irritation, you just have to go with it and hope that you have a cab with lots of filtered air flow.
I wondered if those trees would be worth the extra efforts. Even before the grass is in….I can already see their value.
Chris, the next Work what You can Finished. Burn the Heap from Shrub and Roots, grading the clear Areal and fill Stone and the last little Roots in a Hole and grading this Place. Then make You a Road with Gravel, seeding Grass on the Areal. To All this Work have You the Perfect Equipment, and Drive all Machine Perfect. However have You a Order in best Quality finished. 👌👍
Glad to see you didn't replace Effie. She does good work and I like to see her in action.
So much for your pretty detailed D51.
Looks great 👍🏻🇺🇲
You have not shown Winston lately.
That's almost a rap on that job. Looks great compared to the brush and rocks you started with.
My Dad called them “motor patrol grader”. He could build or repair any road just by eyeball and it was just perfect. The few times I tried his comment was “ that’s a fine washboard road son.
That piel of brush probably can't get enough air 😊
Enjoy all the content that Chris puts out, but there is something special about the 'Grader-Cam' segments
good video
Love the sound of that little Komatsu. That’s gonna my next one
Good old 220 lol.
I ENJOYED WATCHING THE VIDEO CHRIS 😊
Another project coming to an end,now that just leaves you with what 4 or 5 more projects in different stages to do.great video as always.just keep doing what you do best.😎😎😎👍👍👍

every one should own a grater, they do beautiful work
Fun to watch chris isn't it
I’ll take my ash pile mix in with other dirt and run it through the sifter really turn out decent top soil
Very well-made video.
Looking good
Great Video
We always used leaf blowers to get a wet pile burning real hot..
Wow
Question for you Chris. I truly don't know the answer to this. When you want to clean the dirt from all those roots and trees when your restacking, why don't you shake the stuff with the arm or the bucket? Is it bad for the equipment or just not work as well as picking it up and dropping it?

Hi Chris wife and say awesome job have a great day
More outside the machine camera views please. The ones where it looks like someone is standing on the ground watching you work. Please and thank you
Weather issues don't make your work any easier. Which one of the 20 jobs to go to first. When you're good. You're busy.
I see another Komatsu Dozer upgrade in the package.
I wonder if Kyle noticed how much better the undercarriage sounds now on that loader.
Is the 350 getting a Graptor bucket?
I think so 😊
There are times I see Chris use a bucket like a tweezer picking up a toothpick. And days like this, with dirty, damp brush piles it's a toddler "helping" weed the garden. All about the conditions.
HEY how about an update on the BIG pond!!!!
Come on pepsi, give Chris a sponsor!
Was that flexbase yall put down for the driveway?
That Fire Smoke and ash clogs air filters in a day
Are you getting the AMI Graptor bucket for new 350? For what you do it is most logical.
New trailer working well
You got to love it. Got to have some more fires. Yeah that property turned out real nice. 👍👍🙂🇨🇦🔥🔥
❤❤❤
Good Saturday morning everyone I hope you all enjoy your day we have 2 degrees here this morning ❤❤❤❤❤❤😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
🔥🔥
No fabric under the stone ?
LetsBurn18!
Is a fire curtain in your sights
Does Kyle like how easily the 953 goes into reverse now that you own it?
I’m starting to loose track on which property is what
👍👍👍
how does your gopro not overheat
