Good tip about usage of fabric. I learned something today.. You saved property owner money on unneeded expense =)

[@assassinlexx1993]

That four in one bucket really does a great job striping sod. Even that little strip by the road was neatly clean off. No rocks was found on this job.👍🤣

[@dirtfarmer7472]

That bucket is as handy as a pocket on a shirt, that was fun to watch

[@louisroman7134]

Stripping with that bucket was really cool!!!!!

[@rhacker3058]

That's one nice sod cutter you have there!!!!

[@jerry4260]

Chris, you along with some other KZbinrs, are part of the reason I purchased two new machines to get back into dirt moving after doing something totally unrelated for 30+ years. Traded away some other equipment I had and now own a Takeuchi TL12R2 High Flow and a TB260 both with cabs. Just weekend work for myself and a few others for now but I'm having fun. Thanks for all your effort making great video content!

[@letsdig18]

Nice I hope you do well!

[@robertcable6348]

Hoping everyone back there is safe with all of this bad weather!

[@Mephiston]

Just want to say I appreciate the editing and trimming work done on the video today. I appreciate that it would have been a 2 hour long video if you hadnt edited it. It's good when you show the highlights of each stage, maybe the start, a bit in the middle, then the end, since it shows us enough to get the idea, and the start/finish progress of that stage, without being needlessly inflated in time. So yeah, thanks for that, it's really appreciated.

[@kittty2005]

Yeah but some of us like over inflated needlessly loooong videos, just the sound of track pads slapping the ground is so soothing and the engines roar, but to hear the dulcet tones of this mans voice will calm the most rattled nerves. Do what you have to do to your videos I'll keep watching and listening, a great big hug.

[@Mephiston]

@@kittty2005 Oh for sure, I'm not trying to take that away from anybody. I'm just saying that in this instance it was well edited to save it from being too drawn out.

[@csnelling4]

That beats removing rock, nice job Chris 👏👏👏👏🇬🇧👍🍺

[@kens.3729]

Some are Watching the NCAA, but the rest of are Watching Chris prepare a New Home Site. 😬👍

I'd rather watch this then a bunch of spoiled brat's that disrespect the flag and cry that their lives are so terrible!

[@brandontommessilli20]

Just when I think you can't get better at driveways,you blow it out of the park.You have a precision eye that catches every detail.Keep making America great!

[@deernutOO]

Indeed, turned out nice. You had the right tool for that job, and the technique down pat for putting it to good use. tks for taking us along.

[@kittty2005]

Your outros are getting better, you complimenting your work adds a personal touch, thank you.

[@oldschoolhoosier]

All in a days work.. I always enjoy watching an artist at work....lol. Chris does every job as if it was his own detailed canvas painting. 👨🏻‍🎨

[@randoff32]

I love the way the Earth rotates, it really makes my day.

[@mikemichaels420]

Just so mesmerized by digging and smoothing out dirt and rock. Takes me back as a kid playing in the dirt.

[@littlefinkle7757]

Very true! Bermuda will grow everywhere except in shade. Fabric is only for bridging or keeping materials from bonding together. Great work! Maybe time for a review on that bucket now that you have used it a while?

[@makingithappen5178]

A little variety from all the big rocks.

[@willb3018]

😂

[@angelo60415]

Great work Chris, it's nice when you add a few min. of a video showing the whole picture of you working.👍

[@karencary3312]

It pays to have the right tools. It gets the job done faster and does a better job. Great work.

[@johnobiro5202]

Good job there Chris. I love that Skid steer, it’s a handy little Machine.

Another job well done, thanks for sharing Chris. Kevin

[@eliteearthworksllc]

This is actually one of the first videos I’ve watched where I can see the benefits of a 4in1 bucket 😁Looks great man!

[@wyldbladze]

Whichever contractor that is building that house, is going to love that lot. Awesome driveway to get into, park, and to get materials delivered.

[@timgarner6768]

Another nice project. A simple sketch of the property and driveway would help us visualize. Astonished local authorities allowed a forty foot "curb cut" leading to a house. Would never be allowed here.

[@The1stKukuDrifter]

Am I the only one that spends 20 minutes on Facebook marketplace or Craig’s list looking for equipment after watching his videos? 🤣

[@davidnull5590]

After looking at Marketplace, in my mind I just spent a year's earning on equipment I have no place to store, it's a good thing none of this equipment can be ordered online, I'd be broke in minutes.

[@ConstructionMachineryChannel]

Then you see the price and are knocked back to reality. Stuff is expensive.

[@Stratos53100]

Ive looked it up on various Heavy Duty Equipment reseller sites etc, ( i dont do social medias ) Also have family up in Arkansas that have fields/crops etc with Combines and others, So when on avg the lowest on the list starts at 60k and beyond it is an eye opener.

[@jdjones7469]

No, I go to the caterpillar web site. If you can only dream, dream big!

[@infoanorexic]

Yeah, grapples and excavator 'thumbs' are the items I covet right now. And now, clamshell buckets. Peeling that sod up was pretty slick work.

[@craigwavra3495]

Enjoyed this video. Amazing to watch you peel that ground with the 4:1. That bucket has paid for itself over many times.

[@johnleonard4261]

Just watching this video for the first time. What a treat. I have already learned how to do certain things a little better. Thanks Chris!!!

[@robertrockwell7581]

Chris I worked on the Ground Crew for the Detroit Tigers and I think you have found a way too strip Sod off the field a whole lot easier than when we did it. nice work. stay safe.

[@28cucbn]

These videos are perfect for winding down before going to sleep. They are informative and entertaining while also meditative and relaxing. Have to love disabling the backup alarms

[@d.mushroomhunter3528]

Now that's a trick with the four-way bucket for stripping sod that I haven't seen before, that works a treat!! Between that and everyone likes watching some gate spreading the guy at the storage unit job was the best I've seen..absolutely satisfying video to watch!

[@stephengmeiner3264]

That 4in1 bucket on the turf is amazing! It turns it into carpet:)

[@davestuart6593]

It does look nice,gentle curve better than straight shot!

[@patriciabuccellato7900]

its obvious he's an excellent mechanic and proud of his work

[@stevekissel605]

That bucket makes stripping grass easy. Great job 👍

[@Stratos53100]

i'd like to say i invented the 4x1 bucket, Whoever did is D lucky, Though the reverse loading "clamshell" type etc is a total game changer no doubt.

[@sudd2685]

The customer did about what I would do before calling for the calf rope, now time for a pro, thank you for your videos.

[@kirk467]

Another good job Chris, thanks for sharing! 👍🏻

[@BeytekinConstructionMachinery]

The little one from Nagano makes a great job! Cheers

Mr Gayle Charpentier New Iberia, Louisiana. I watch you do your work ,you do great work. I can see why you stay working .I like to watch i enjoy God bless .

[@utubota5522]

That 4 in one bucket makes a great sod cutter.

[@bourbonthebiscuit]

Looks really nice that great job Chris 👍

[@jeffmoose495]

sitting here thinking 'is he ever going to fill in that corner' he doesnt dissappoint, artist or OCD, i dont care its excellent.

[@JohanLind]

Very calming for the nerves!

[@kenlee5509]

That moment is what makes excellence.

[@james_jr]

Thats funny, I was like come on, one little corner..

[@satan2133]

No rocks ha ha. Guess you won’t be sliding down the tail saying ya ba daba doo after this job. Great work Chris keeping us loyal viewers happier man I miss working spring break up is here. Stay healthy and safe from Alberta Canada 🇨🇦

[@marczalewski6120]

It's awesome to see your mind work while working...

[@Santiago_jacrispy]

The skid steer is cool machine. Can do so many jobs 💪🏼

[@george8873]

Could re-use that sod that was peeled up while clearing the grass from the house pad. It peeled up like you were using a sod cutter.

[@jwdickinson643]

I realize the ease with which you handle all your machines comes from years of experience and hard work, but man, you sure make this look fun!

[@williamfisher9803]

It’s like watching bob ross paint, only with a skidsteer... excellent!

[@Skynet-1]

I feel better now because I didn't put fabric down under my crushed asphalt. I do have to spray to kill the grass & weeds in spots. 🚜👍👍👍

[@klasspodcast4396]

When I hear that song smooth operator, this guy comes too mind lol

[@Pharphette]

Very satisfying sod removal - like carpet

[@lgeo241]

No wonder you stay busy all the time, great job Chris.

[@AllstarVentures]

Appreciate the little explanation on the fabric. It’s what I figured but always good to hear confirmation from a pro. I’ll be putting in a driveway tomorrow. Hopefully it goes as smooth as this one 👍🏼

[@jonlowe8727]

Fabric is 100 percent for ground stability. It definitely won't stop weeds. Mans correct.

[@ronwatson4902]

It really does look nice. Thanks for letting us watch.

[@paulprigge1209]

Man knows his business! Very relaxing to watch somebody who is an extension of the machine.

[@HalfCutGarage]

that was slick peeling that sod up !

[@markdouglas5542]

Your a man on a mission, that looks like fun.

[@murrayandru7527]

The machine becomes a Part of your body after awhile, you don't even think about it . It just happens , that's skill ! Chris's attitude is Tops .

[@r1mein54]

I have an idea for you,, get AMI to build an angle blade for the Taki so its easier to clean the edges. Just what you needed today, a nice simple driveway job with NO boulders. @ 35:28 we can hear that track roller that rattles like the tanks in WW2 movies.

[@kdexcavation4887]

Love new roads! ... and building sites .... I enjoy doing jobs that others cant do or wont do .... gives me that edge!

[@marcryvon]

Looking at you actually "peeling" the grass at 23:54 was interesting. Awesome attachment ! Nice job Chris !

[@timmyfrierson2684]

Another great video Chris and man I just wanted to say thank you for taking us along every day with you on your journey to work well I look forward to watching your videos every morning between 4 and 5 AM while I’m drinking my coffee but anyway brother you and John stay safe and keep the videos coming

[@Todd.Roberts]

You make running that skid steer look so easy

[@learninghowtodothis8062]

I really liked your method of using the bucket grapple to clean up the sod next to the road --very clever.

[@aaronburford5701]

Great work as usual sir!

[@dsdragoon]

Thank you for explaining the driveway construction.

[@miker8915]

nice job, thanks for sharing

[@stevenphare5455]

Love that crazy sod cutter! Works great! That bucket is awesome!!🤣

[@bryanhubner9848]

Looks great! I would think it was a nice change from the big rocks and filling trucks.

[@Watchman-zd5cx]

I would use the VEVOR underlayment. That rock over time will seep down into the causing pits. Also, will cause you having to redo driveway more than if VEVOR was used. But, to each their own I personally would use underlayment.

[@donaldtrabeaux5235]

Awesome job on the driveway Chris looks awesome

[@DCS026]

NIce.....you sure are making me want to go buy a 4 in 1 bucket.
