I don't operate heavy machinery, but seeing Chris' friend operate the Volvo in this video and the last one really put Chris' skills into perspective... His friend was surprisingly good for someone who isn't used to the equipment, but Chris is just amazing, with much less wasted time and motion.
@stephenridder61933 жыл бұрын
he is smooth and not rough on the machine. Although not fast he isn't slow either, and most importantly at the end of the day there isn't 1000's of damage. edit. And is is certainly a better operator than I!

It seems very wise to run the machine a bit slower knowing that it produces way more than the skid steer can move. I m curious to know if it runs in Eco mode. Just on a funny side, my 3 years old asks now to see Chris on TV. Chris you are (almost) the only videos he sees.,. ;)

Those before and after shots at 48:38 and 48:43 puts it into perspective just how much dirt Chris moves in such a short time. But also show he has an eye for the finishing touches. Even though the pond has only just been strawed and seeded, you can see what the finish look is going to be.

Hey Chris, Awesome job on the pond sir. That quick shot before the drone started where your Volvo was sitting in front of allot of dirt and grass really showed how much dirt you and your helper moved.

You know Chris, been following you for a while now. I also follow a few others that run heavy equipment around KZbin. They do a fair job at what they do. Their jobs are passable. But you're an artist my brother. Ran a rubber tire for about 12 years, and a skid steer. the jobs I did were along the lines of utilities. ( mostly plumbing rough-ins, some lot clearing, and pad layouts. ), but they definitely weren't a work of art. and that's the difference. Thanks for sharing what you do. That job look pretty darn good considering everything.
