Starting to work out great and looking good, can't wait to see you set the pipe 👍

Nice weather on this property today, good for the dig. 😁😎 Well, it all looks great so far. 😊👍 Chris, I wish you and your family a Merry Christmas. Put your feet up, eat something nice and relax. You work too much and deserve a few relaxing, stress-free days❣️ 🤗🎄🎁 Of course I wish you all a Merry Christmas with your loved ones. ☺️🎄

Our estate here in the UK used to suffer surface flooding from the water running off the fields and not being able to soak through the hard packed clay before getting to the houses. They solved this by bringing in a drilling rig and putting holes every 100 yards and filling them with gravel to allow the saturated ground to drain through the clay layer. We've not had any flooding since they done that.

Watching your videos is like watching a TV series, waiting for the next episode. Keeps you sitting glued to the screen.

Have you ran the new 160 long enough to see what the fuel consumption is compared to the old one. This new one seems to rev a lot higher being a four cylinder ,it's like so many smaller newer engines that make the same ,or more power than the older models ,but have to rev way higher to do so ,anyway time will tell .Cheers from down under.

I wonder what the very first guy said when a skid steers showed up? That's a strong and nimble machine. I think they ought to invite you to Gold Rush. Love to see you wear out one of those machines.

You ever get into trouble running x roads with putting tires or anything down for tracks? We unloaded a d4 dozer off side like that, never crossed road but one track marked up asphalt and the hiways guys stopped, took pics and called us in lol

[@young11984]

I was unloading my track loader on the high side of the road and had to cross to my lot, HP and DOT drove up just as i got onto dirt. Nothing they could do about it since all i did was white spot the asphalt where the tracks went over it

[@kirk467]

Driveway looks great Chris

[@danmcgivern1345]

Can't wait to see the final product.

[@daar1113]

I guess the bottom of the creek is harder than the surrounding area because the water has already "excavated" all the soft stuff where it flows. That creek is showing you how deep you would have to undercut to get to good dirt in that area.

[@shaneherman8906]

Now that's a road that will be there. A lot better than just dumping a load or two of crush on top of the grass and calling it a road. After a good rain it turns to mush and you have nothing that resembles a road. Good work as always Chris.

run a chisel plow deep th break the hadrpan layer at the bottom of whatever swale you put in, you get seep drainage all the time, and the swale handles the storm runoff into the creek. Or just plow in draintile above the hard pan by the road

That big ol snapping turtle was likely hibernating under the mud, then you gone and dug him up that's why he was mad. Hopefully he had enough sense to move somewhere downstream before digging back in otherwise now he is under 8 feet of fill.

It would be cool for you to find a field and cut the grass off to form a MERRY CHRISTMAS. Then do a drone shot for all your subscribers to see.
