Nice work in less than ideal conditions. Having both excavators and the haul truck really has made your work more efficient when you work by yourself. And I am looking forward to that 9 acre lake repair. That one looks really neat. Thanks for sharing, Chris.

[@robbytorregrossa1037]

I mostly appreciate the way you keep your equipment clean and greased up

[@craigwavra3495]

That grapple is becoming a really useful tool on the jobs!! Makes quick work of the brush piles!!

[@jackman6256]

I've worked as swamper for one old guy that I could clean his cab everyday but don't sit in his seat or Touch any controls unless cleaning them keep his ash tray clean up he drink coffee an smoke cigars no ashes anywhere or never spill cup coffee ha ha good man loved working for him

[@Dbergson]

God! That grapple on the 350 is awesome!

[@jiggsborah7041]

I'd like to have a look at that brown truck parked there. Great to see old machinery still working. My daily driver is 28 years old and my lawnmower was rescued from the dump repaired and put back to work. It's over 20 years old

[@terryrogers1025]

Key to progress, you first must start, then keep moving as steady as you can, do as much as you can, as often as you can you have that ditch looking nice and the burn pile is doing pretty good for as wet as it is.

[@gerrycarter4929]

You make doing delicate work cleaning the brush out of very wet mud with that brute 350 look easy when it is not! Great work!

[@Brewdiss]

When I worked in a log yard, we had a 30"x16' log with notches in it, so a Wagner log loader could pick it up. After it ground down to about half its diameter, the boss bought a scrap 16'foot H beam. I scraped up lots of bark with that beam. 🤘😎

[@bullittdog4352]

You loose scale on that 350 grapple till you see it over the dump truck and realize it’s huge!

[@insaneinthemeshbane]

Lose, not loose. Just trying to help.

[@RustyTunaCan]

It's really not that big.

[@genesispuredeaf2390]

@@RustyTunaCansays the guy who has no grapple, no truck….unless you count his video game false reality. Sorry if that hurt a little.

[@daneclark3161]

@@RustyTunaCan- That’s what she said.

[@heatherlane9270]

Think the drought has ended :) Barney back to work looking clean and shiny. Amazing how much brush will burn in this amount of rain and moisture. Mirror rescued whew!

[@GranthamShaw]

I love this project, reminds me of the logging trails close to where I grew up! It rained hard on us in Greensboro NC last week for several days, you must've had the same rain storms come through!

[@joeynunley8727]

Looks like you need to tint those windows. The sun coming in makes it hot inside

[@gerell89]

Would love to see the pond that you did a few months ago with the huge island in the middle

[@randyc3934]

At the 17:20 MARK,,,That Volvo is looking good

[@user-zr2jr6su8h]

The 350 and barnnie make a great team.... ⭐👍💫GoTeamLetsDig18💫👍⭐

[@r1mein54]

Good haul for Mr. Donnie. Barney will make it thru the mud - just keep him in 6 wheel drive. Log squeegee always works better pulling not pushing. You must not have gotten any lighter stumps to keep your fire going. That 350 with 'root rake on a stick' really does load lots of brush & logs in a hurry. Oh good, another dam fix for the Pond Master.

[@huggy1712]

Chris cleaning up the roads sure makes a huge difference looks great Barney looks like he is doing a great job

[@ryanhoward1013]

Barney looks like a new truck until a few trips picking up some brush. Now he's a little dirty, but he still looks good. I would love to have one. No, I would love to have all of Chris's equipment and know how to operate them as good as Chris does, but I know none of that will come true and being 68 years I don't have the time nor money. So I'll just keep watching Chris work and enjoy every minute of it. Great, big thank you, Chris, for all the videos. I really enjoy your work. you're the best at what you do and what you touch. God bless you Chris be safe out there.

[@huggy1712]

I agree with you 100% Chris is amazing at what he does.My wife and I watch his videos I don’t think we have missed one yet have a great day

[@garymessina1609]

Great video thanks Chris the 350 sure made quite a difference in getting things done

[@tomblanton4726]

I would imagine that a/c feels good in the summer time and there are times you sweat even with the a/c.

[@jimronchetto8592]

That 350 with the grapple takes a monstrous bite!

[@erikcourtney1834]

Really shows how big the 350 grapple is next to Barney. Have a similar bucket on a 355. They aren’t small

[@oleran4569]

Chris calculating number of loads for Barney: "Let's see....14 yard truck at 25 yards per load is........

[@bruceduncan9065]

That’s a very good rake 😊

[@sambrem0788]

Try his job has really shown the efficacy of the 220’s thumb and the 350’s grapple looks good

[@chuckpreston4981]

The only problem that I can see with the grapple on the 350 is that it will never open up to the full 270 degrees that the combination of a bucket and thumb will. Don't get me wrong, it's a very powerful attachment with a lot of capabilities (along with being huge) and the design is very stout. I just wonder if the cost involved will justify it replacing the thumb in the long haul.

[@Todd.Roberts]

Your truck driver does a good job in putting the truck where you need it : Just like one other truck driver you used to have . lol

[@ryanhoward1013]

Hi Todd, Yes, Chris used to have a good truck driver who always put a truck where he wanted it. Chris bring Todd back to driving the off-road truck for and have Robert on the dozer. Especially with the big pond job coming up. Thanks, Chris

[@Todd.Roberts]

@@ryanhoward1013 I wish he would

[@arthurjennings5202]

Back to "Quag and Mire Construction, LLC." Beryl definitely caused a wet July from Houston to the east coast.

[@genesispuredeaf2390]

Looking forward to the dam repair. I love those

[@bobbyb322]

I love the woods, but I'm ready for a pond job!

[@tedc7714]

A ditch bucket is what you need . The county has a grade all on wheels the ditch Bucket makes great ditch. 18 inches deep in one bucket full.

[@sylviaprudhomme5417]

Always glad to see Mr Donnie. The godfather of the all the many pieces of 😊equipment.

[@doritleis2773]

The new Work Day beginning with a Trees and Thicket Heap to burn. Then the other pull out Material on the Haul Truck to load and to the Burn Plac to Drive. And this by a Wet Road. Then make You on the Road side a to Dig for the Rainwater. The great Rain is coming and Your Work Planing is stopping. Good Video however., 💪👌

[@ronaldheit196]

The Beast 350 and the Beauty 220 (she's got a little bit of muck in her bottom half today poor girl" together getting the burn pile collection together with Barney in the middle. A nice Sunday afternoon episode of Chris Letsdig18. Keeping the burn pile going has a tendency to make equipment a little "dusty".

[@MachineryMastery-b1o]

The impact of this machinery on the construction landscape is both monumental and inspiring.

[@smokeywilliams7073]

Where's a big log when you need it.🤣🤣

[@VaJamie]

I remember the first time I saw you use a log for grading.... still working it today.

[@BigTader]

Barney is just not big enough for the Volvo 350 Barney works well with the 220 but the 350 is about 2 big grapple of brush and Barney is full. The grapple on the 350 is very impressive. Stay safe and hydrated.

[@cathiwim]

But Barney gets in tight places where a bigger hauler might not

[@papatomsthoughts]

Cleanest ditches around and not even got the ditching buvket out yet. LOL😊😊😊😊

[@lordIanHouston]

ILove Barney

[@markburch7967]

Ok Chris, when can we expect window tint on the new 350? She looks good without it but would be even better with it👍

[@richwielechowski5191]

Chris, Good luck getting the pond rebuild project.

[@johnleonard5323]

The 330 Hyundai was a nice machine and filled the need while waiting for the 350 Volvo. But, that 350 is the cat's meow. I really like that beast of a grapple. Thanks for sharing your thoughts on how you make decisions about equipment or how you proceed with a job.

Well Chris could get some practice in on sending smoke signals. Looking good should help the runoff.

[@michaelmullins1290]

I always wanted you to have a big machine. The 350 is working out just fine. Maybe Volvo will get to loan you a 650 or something again one day.

[@hydraulic-hum]

plenty of water about now, the drought is over.. thanks for sharing Chris

350 seems like a cool machine if that makes any sense.

[@Losttoanyreason]

LOL, just watched a video that I thought was your from the guy you are rebuilding the pond you just mentioned, 🤣. Looks like it's going to be a fun one. Does Mr Bealy Good know you are sneaking away from his house/pool build?🤣😂

Chris, here i thought tthat you liked playing in the mud? It's no different than digging a pond or cleaniing one out.😂 Besides mud is good for the skin.

[@keithdunlap2701]

Man, that Grapple on the 350 gets one hell of a bite !! lolol... Man, you guys really got the rain this last week or so !! And looks like all the rain that went past us today here in W. Ky. is headed your way sometime this evening ?? Man, ya can't catch a break for very long huh !! But, ya did still get quite a bit done while ya could, guess your probably about done with it by now though ?? may be... lolol... But, Great as Always Chris !! Have a Great Sunday Evening Man, And, On too the next !!

[@cwbean3087]

I love the big grapple bucket,....wonder if it will fit my 304? 🤣

Just my opinion but I think two more teeth on the 350 grapple would help emensly 😊😊

I can say one thing is that she is a beast

Like the video but not the Rain .

[@Dbergson]

Did they put services in when this was a subdivision? Up here if it was set up to be house lots then the services would be set up!

[@ronaldheit196]

He showed it back when he drainthat area. They never got that far. Just dug ditches that ended up filled in with trees and brush. He had to dig the ditches back out and dig more. One humongous mess over several episodes way back in his library of episodes. He had one huge patch of bamboo I'd have logged and sold. Logging bamboo is easy and highly ought after if it's American drown. I hada friend who grew 5 acres and harvested it every 3 years. It grows like weeds in the right area. South Miami-Dade is the perfect sub-tropical climate. N.C. it would most likely take twice as long but still highly profitable.

[@peterouellette3874]

The truck looks small when you start loading it with the 350

[@tomswindler64]

Great job on hauling the brush,just curious do they make longer beds for haul trucks,I’m sure transporting the trucks to job sites would be little harder,but just think how much more you could move on big job sites. I remember that big haul truck you had on the ocean pond,but I’m just saying having normal truck with longer bed.you accomplished quite a bit for the conditions.great video.just keep doing your thing.😎😎😎👍👍👍

[@LatitudeSky]

Bigger beds mean a bigger truck because it has to be built assuming the truck will be loaded to the max with heavy stuff, not just brush. In other words, if they put a bigger bed on this truck, somebody would try to fill it with dirt and then the truck would not be able to move as well or at all.

[@gailrowland1672]

I have often wondered why you dont get your own truck and trailer and haul your own equipment?

Chris I love watchimg all those big machines work and make the land look so much better. I wish they would ban those worthless pine trees.

[@blondeenotsomuch]

I'll take a worthless pine instead of a silver maple, Bradford pear, or tree of heaven any day.

[@ryanhoward1013]

I'll love to have all the money, those worthless pine trees you don't like. Think of all the houses,barns,and garages that are built with those worthless pine trees. If you think of everything that is made with wood, it is probably pine wood. So I'll take all that money, thank you 😂
