Very good video, editing and commentary. Thank you for your hard work on putting out the videos.

[@r1mein54]

Great, another Uncle Jon house lot clearing project. Tight spot and overhead lines to add to Chris` fun. It appears you have 'spectators' at each property line just waiting for you to damage one of their trees.

[@nandi123]

Yeah I got the impression the guy was just itching for an opportunity to create trouble.

Halfback are always a pain 🤫

[@grumpyscout4745]

Yeah start trouble with someone on a machine that could bury you so deep you'd never be found.

i got that same feeling notice he had what appears to be his phone or a video camera in his hand

Hi from uk chris👋👍 great job you got good start for how tight work area is 👌 and only a man of your talents can operate like this dropping trees the same length as the lot 👍 wkd man 👌 thanks for your time and be safe see you soon 👍👋

[@craigwavra3495]

Always amazes me how you figure out what trees to drop in what order. Tight fit here today!!

[@terryrogers1025]

Young man you can spread and level gravel with an excavator better than a lot of operators can with skid steers and graders. Nice job for such tight quarters. Thanks for the ride along.

[@chosen1one930]

Man that's some dry soil. It is so crazy on the east coast, either tons of rain or droughts and drought like conditions but not truly considered a drought yet. Good work these jobs are always interesting, hope you and the family are doing well Chris

[@keithdunlap2701]

Looks like ya had you a Supervisor lurking in the woods there today Chris !! lololol... Like you don't have enough to watch out for already !! That one looked super tight in there but, ya got it opened on up some, to work in. What about the guys painting the house over there, with all the dirt an shit flying around !! lololol... Digging the Ky. Blue anyway...lololol... Just wants to make ya say, "Here's ya Sign" !! 😂😂 Well, guess part #2 tomorrow on finishing that lot on up. Great as always Chris !! Have a Great evening, and , On too the Next...

You make excavation work and video editing look much easier than it really is! 👍

[@deronlogterman2951]

Nobody better in a tight spot than Let's dig 18!!!!

[@AncientHermit]

You always make it look so easy Chris. I'll bet good money it isn't. ;) Solid progress in a squeeze. Be well. ;)

[@gail8494]

I like that maneuver where you take a tree and break it up against another tree like a toothpick! Enjoyed the video. Thanks

[@dansbrown1313]

Great display of precision operator skills though I wonder why you or John didn't tell the homeowner to stay on the road or purchase a hard hat and a reflective vest! Every time you turned he was in a different place.

[@jessechristian8665]

Plus he wears a green shirt. Was he trying to get hit by a tree? I've had my boss stand over me like that and I'd stop working until he'd come up and ask why I stopped. I'd say, "I'm just waiting for you to get the fuck out of here so I can do my job." "I do good work and I don't need you standing around in my way micromanaging me." "If you want to do it yourself, I can pack it up and let you have at it." One time when I told a boss that he told me, "You'll do what I tell you to do and like it, because I'm the boss." I quit right there on the spot. Secured my equipment and drove off. I could hear him yelling for me to come back as I was driving away. It was Friday and I had another job lined up for Monday, so fuck the bastard. I went to the bar and had several cold adult beverages.

Neither of the places he was at were even close to being in the fall direction of the trees. He was always at right angles to the work direction.

That is some tight quarters you are trying to maneuver in there. But anything smaller would have real trouble doing the clearing. Nice work Chris, thanks for sharing.

Your dedication and hardwork towards your channel is super inspiring. It's very difficult to record heavy machines videos despite this you never fail to disappoint us with your wonderful presentation.Keep the spirit up.

[@johnblecker4206]

Your at a lake area today which should be cool to watch and enjoy your evening. Now that first double stump was huge.

[@structuredcmlandclearingex3843]

Where I’m at it’s all narrow lake lots, and steep! And usually some overhead power lines just to spice things up!

[@Todd.Roberts]

Well I already know how good the outcome will be . But can’t wait to see it anyway .

[@stephenkeefer3436]

Good old red dirt. Makes purty mud. Slick too.

[@jamesbreault5762]

Looking good so far👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@wb8ujb]

Good work Chris. Thanks for sharing it with us.

[@heatherlane9270]

Rockin n rollin with that first double stump! Some like 'tree' houses it seems. Nothing like a challenge for the clearing operators though.

[@robertjwilliams3532]

Getting the lot ready for building would be no problem if it were mine. Start at the road and clear it all off! I had just as soon have a yard full of kudzu growing on privet hedge as to have pine trees!!

[@pinwizz69]

Awesome, a hole new lot clearing series that should only be two or three episodes long. Still interesting as a get out tho. I wonder of that was the neighbor on the other side in the woods watching to make sure nothing got damaged on his side of the property line. Not a good place to be standing as Chris is working tho.

[@justbe4481]

I'm going to say Chris most likely cleared the neighbors lot when they decided to build on the lake 😂

[@onryboy2264]

Nice work there Chris, As far as them being concerned about the dirt being tracked out on the road keep an eye out for a street sweeper that you can use to clean the road and keep everyone on your good side. It's just a thought for you at the next auction.

[@dansbrown1313]

Why do that when he could just throw John a broom?

[@johnfaulkner8766]

It's good you had inspector to watch you in close quarters

[@larryconley9438]

You do great work,the tight places just give you a channel.great videos.

We need to get you a wireless microphone! Those two stumps were making you work! Perseverance paid off. 👍

[@bennetts-revenge_2]

Shoot if that was me, I would be sitting out there with a drink in my hand watching the goings on. Wouldn't be too concerned about a stick or two falling in my yard.

Precise work Chris. I’m assuming that man was the owner, every time you turned he was there, watching………always watching……..probably still there watching🤣 Take care & cheers 🐨🦘🥰

That guy is frustrated as hell that Chris didn't drop a leaf on his property. Now instead of getting to make a big scene and demand compensation he has to go back inside to his usual fifth of Jim Beam and shouting at Fox news.

I don't know if I've asked this before, but isn't there a ban on felling trees during the growing season in the US? This ban applies from March 1st to September 30th in Germany.

[@CraigNeth]

?? I've never heard of that! Here in NH the tree companies work year round...

[@johnjohnson3602]

You can cut or log year round unless the fire risk is to high.

[@CraigNeth]

@@johnjohnson3602 At least here In NH, there's no restriction on cutting during fire season, you just can't get a burn permit from the local Fire Chief to get rid of the brush when the fire danger is high.

[@johnjohnson3602]

Yes that the same here but out west I have heard of them being shout down. I live in the middle of no where so you don't hardly ever even hear if a fire band PA.

[@Manoffire260]

The only issue in America might be frozen ground. Seems so many forested areas (northeast anyway) are swampy areas. Easier on equipment to work on frozen ground. Just depends - not any law

I can not blame the guy for watching you work, I would be actually camped out in the woods!

[@arthurjennings5202]

At least you aren't having to use the 235. The area looks like the Yanmar mini would be cramped. I have never seen you have the rear camera on your display to keep from swinging the back end over the property line before. It was fun to watch, even though I don't think it was fun to do.

[@dirtfarmer7472]

I’ve got a??? which is best digging stumps 1 dig a stump when the tree was cut leaving 2-3 ft. of stump or 2 when the stump is 4-5 inches or 3 dig a tree out complete stump intact.
