I can remember my brother coming home from burning brush pile’s operating a 955 Cat open cab..all you could see was the white of his eyes..I think that is why admire your skills so much..you remind me a lot of him..he as well was very talented on any machine…we lost him in 2000..thanks for sharing what you do..it means a lot 👍

[@dankreoger611]

Really cool that the 953 came up for sale at the right time. You don't have to drag the other equipment off job sights when you work at home. More versatile for the work you have to do there.

[@Stratos53100]

There wont be any resale value for it, Due to the fact its a fine running priceless addition.

[@terrypomatto907]

Clearing and burning brush seems to be a never ending task. You are making progress every time that you have time to work on the new area of the farm. Some day that also will be a good pasture/grazing area. TY for the videos.

[@patrickcolahan7499]

NIce to finally be able to get rid of the brush collection. Sadly, the loader doesn't appear to be as efficient as the 220 for stacking burn piles, but make do with what is available. Thanks for sharing Chris.

[@leegoldman7491]

Chris you have to be so proud of your accomplishment so far on your farm, it is really looking great from what we can see anyway, keep up the good work for you are doing this job for yourself, and I'm so happy for you...you have earned everything you have and now you have earned this, I'm a Vietnam combat vet, I hate when people say to me "well you deserve it" man I hate that and I tell people "I don't deserve anything" I've earned what I get and I can tell you are the same way Chris...

[@SudheendraKaranam]

After watching this I was thinking “Managing fire with excavator seems so easy” - hope you are feeling better, take care

[@ralfus37]

Working the pile like this prevents it for becoming too hot to approach.

[@deconteesawyer5758]

@@ralfus37 Stumps like hot.

[@ryanhoward1013]

Hi Chris hope your feeling better. I think that the excavator does a better job stacking the fire. It was nice watching the track loader stack it. Have a great night Chris and thanks for sharing another great video with us 😀

[@genesispuredeaf2390]

Nice? It was painful…we are spoiled watching him dress up a fire w the excavator. The grapple movement was tedious enough that even Chris said “enough” and started pushing the pile

[@ralfus37]

Seems like a skidsteer and grapple is more efficient sometimes, but on another jobsite. This machine covers the D6 brush blade and a mini excavator combination, just different procedures. Very interesting videos lately.

[@TerrellSpivey]

You got all kind of sweet equipment! I got a few beaver debris piles I need to burn! Lol

[@Arrm24]

Chris, that track loader is beast !! great job !

[@runngunn]

When stacking the wood on a burning fire I always worry you are going to burn your hydraulic hoses!

[@dennis2376]

Thank you and have an awesome day.

[@heatherlane9270]

There is work and there is home - nothing much better than taking care of the farm - means a future is being made for oneself in one's own way. Pretty dashed good fires too in this one.

[@stevekissel605]

Time for the mini. Great video 👍 👍

[@Vickie-Bligh]

Love watching you burn brush. These were pretty cool. Not as huge as the pile from 6 years ago that you tended with your old Link-Belt but might fine. Hope you're feeling better. Thanks for the share, Chris.

[@maxmacdonald7174]

This fire seems to be burning better then yesterday's. This called seasoned wood vs un-seasoned. Thanks to the video operator and Chris editing.

[@JCrook1028]

Lol, I sure wouldn't call it seasoned when it still has green needles on the branches. It is drier tho by a couple months. In a years time then it would be getting "seasoned".

[@kurtyoung6769]

Great work! I'm happy to see you thrive bro. I didn't know you could bale Rye grass. Here in south Texas you need to cut it often enough to prevent the stalk from maturing into a split. Supposedly it will loose it's freeze resistance if it matures.

[@DadzorRules]

Man, that first fire (7:51) looked like a blast furnace! You should look into it; who knows, maybe you could make a few bucks on the side. 😅

[@makingithappen5178]

Hello there Chris 🚧🔥🚧. That crawler loader with its 4 in 1 bucket, is very useful.

[@gunny8783]

Chris, I enjoy all of your vids. Hope you are feeling better soon.

[@BeytekinConstructionMachinery]

That track loader was a good investment! 🤓

[@leol1682]

Love the Track loader but love more the exc.

[@johnbeck9997]

You don't want that pig weed or any going to seed. You do a great job of keeping the dirt out of fire. Thanks Dude for letting us share.

[@glennspreeman1634]

your equipment lineup sure has expanded this year!!!

[@smileywilson9972]

That ole track loader pretty handy on the farm nice 👍 toy

[@michaelmullins1290]

You did better than most would have with the loader, but it brought back thoughts of the old Hitachi. Got it looking good on the farm.

[@2badger2]

The track loader needs some small teeth on the edges when you try to grab some brush and trees. It looks like somebody trying to eat with their false teeth out! Gumming their food ... 🤣🤣🤣

[@mischef18]

Another great farm update bro, that paddock will make a good addition to your farm. Safe travels

[@randycarpenter2914]

Looking good. Glad to see you feel better. Working never ends for money or self. Take care enjoy every video.

[@tiredoldmechanic1791]

Try NLGI #3 grease in your track tensioners. It's thicker so it doesn't leak down as easily. Primrose makes Armor Plate 327C in a NLGI #3 that works well in track tensioners that keep leaking down. I wouldn't recommend it for anything else because it gets very stiff even in #2 grade.

[@robertz2557]

Great video. Whens the next update on the transplanted tree and winston? We havent seen a sunday morning breakfast with you two n a while. Farm is looking good.

[@hughgautier3894]

Chris how about making, out of wood, a spacer for your smokestack on the tractor that you are putting that plastic bucket over.

Crypto is the future 🎖️

[@commerceusa]

I wanted to trade Crypto but got discouraged by the fluctuations in price

[@travis4178]

That's why you need the help of a professional who trade and understand the market more like Mr Philip McCarthy

[@Keithrandolph591]

[@curtHarley1]

Please how do I start trading with him Philip McCarthy ?

[@donnajkelleyphotography]

Hope you are feeling better! Great work on the fire. 🔥🔥

[@glennspreeman1634]

have always looked at layout of trackloaders like the 952 and thought- yeah we should always built them like that instead of putting a bucket on a bulldozer!!!

[@glennspreeman1634]

even bucket cylinder is working to best advantage

[@coggins63]

Good one Chris we have been waiting for this one

[@glendahandley6266]

Nice fire love the white 4 wheeler the farm is looking good

[@robmatthews7972]

It must be Sunday and working @ home. Yep, start burning the piles and put more runtime on Francine track loader.

[@barryhayes3328]

Ideal little job for Betty 😮, great video again Chris

[@tbird4053]

I've been watching for a while now don't leave many comments seems pretty much like you know what you're doing you do know what you're doing excuse me have you ever tried using road flares to start your fires enjoy watching the videos have a great day. Thanks for the videos

[@aman-fd9xx]

Great work chaps! Chris, when did you get the fourwheeler?? Golfcart?

[@mib20000]

the 953 on stacking a fire is equivalent to eating soup with a fork >> it kinda works but not great lol

[@bennygeorge1675]

Your track hold will do a hell of a lot better and want that dozer is doing even one of your small track hold

[@nickchannel5364]

Each time I want to complain about this machine it surprises me what it can do.

[@robgavin6573]

Quality as always

[@ilovegoatsecks]

be careful grabbing a log with grapple and trying to break it. did that with a john deere track loader and bent the grapple. the alignment was off and never closed right afterwords.

[@Manoffire260]

You got your own cameraman now? Good seeing those shots!

[@erikcourtney1834]

I’m sure it was David holding the camera

[@hopalong4822]

Activate the heat shields Scotty!!

[@rama111]

Why are you burning the leftover wood? you could make wood chips out of it and either burn it in an oven or use it for mulching.

[@johnkoopstra4718]

Great content as allways when do we get to see the other star of letsdigit 18 winston

[@fsj197811]

Yaaay FIRE! Thanks for sharing. 🙂

Pushin n Burnin 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🪓🪓🪓🪓⛏⛏⛏⛏👨‍🚒👨‍🚒

[@maximummarklee]

Hey Chris, I just had an idea; would you be interested in trying something on your four-way Bucket? Just looking at it from your operator position, it looks like you might be able to detach the tooth extension and flip it around or flip it over and attach it so that the teeth are facing down that way you’d have a proper grapple with the addition of brackets on the other side of the blade. Another thing from experience with my dad’s D9, he used silicone oil on the tracks every week and it never squeaked and never rusted either because it repels water better than WD-40. It will not attract sand and mud to form a grinding paste.

[@robertbryson1]

You know you say about cabins how about RV parking pads.

[@Herbybandit]

That actually looked quite the struggle at times

[@kevinkenyon7045]

Chris great burn day! Thanks for sharing! Kevin

[@BigWest115]

Sound like you have a bearing somewhere in the hydraulic motor that is going out. The noise is intermittent but I can clearly hear what seems to me to be a bearing going out. Correct me if I’m wrong.

[@dirkkelly9596]

Burning good 👍

[@steveswartout7408]

Are or would those ashes be beneficial to your hay pasture?

[@tomrogers9467]

Ashes are good for calcium and other minerals. Especially on acidic (pine tree based) soils. I spread my stove ashes all over my lawns.

[@peterferguson7679]

Going to call you the fire dude you love the Cat 953 looks like a nice bit of kit thanks for the Vido

[@crazyjncsu]

Is that a new to you ltz I see? Love it. makes all that property feel small when you cover it at 60mph ;)

[@carpetcleanerplus9090]

Your track loader is very inefficiant compared to your excavator for stacking on your fire

[@HolyGOD01]

Hi Chris I hope you're better haven't seen a video in a bit

[@csnelling4]

Thanks Chris 👌🍺🇬🇧

[@coldwarkid6611]

Normal people have a Kabota tractor to do chores on their property. Chris has a Cat Track Loader. Bet his neighbors are jealous. 😉

[@raymundo7687]

I absolutely love how everyone defended you and matt, thats not a fair comparison whatsoever lol. both goats in your own right.

[@letsdig18]

But I still won 😂😂😂😂

[@ronbridges7438]

That looked painful compared to the day before using the excavator!

[@RUSTON51EVADP]

Ain't you gonna siften them O rings in the 4 n one bucket jaw-hyd

[@mariakhalidofficiala5863]

Good work

[@CCscott]

Does Cat still make track loaders?

[@dennisbates5736]

like watching (not in a weird way) all your videos

[@fearmeknot588]

i love that dam thing.

[@colinratcliffe2454]

You need another good cheap excavator for the farm.

[@ronpeacock9939]

Hope you're feeling better. It's seems weird seeing you do this without a Volvo involved...

[@davebulkley4285]

It must be getting warm with a open cockpit on the track loader.

[@dennismalcolm6620]

I kept thinking 🤔 why DONT YOU PUSH????.AFTER ALL THAT IS A DOZER NOT A EXCAVATOR!!!!.BUT YOU ALWAYS MAKE IT WORK WITH WHAT EVER MACHINE YOU HAVE.....

[@GRUBB-MUDD]

Nice video

[@lawrencemvc]

Evening all, napping again.

[@CrooK-jn9pn]

you should link the video where you made the piles in the desc. of this vid

[@460capri]

bet you wish you had a excavator even the mini to stack the pile . But the old girl did well so treat her right .

[@richwielechowski5191]

Sure get a lot closer to your work with the loader vs an excavator.

[@mikebougher3731]

Is that a z400 or a z450 Suzuki?

[@letsdig18]

400

[@danborski6175]

How you feeling Chris

[@chillywilli]

Everytime I watch a video with this machine I get the feeling it bogs down quit fast. I know it is a lighter machine, but I don’t see the tracks spinning, as soon as it hits something, it simply stops moving. Either the motor is to weak or it needs a tune up. But that is my observation, I am not an expert.

[@debbiewebber1582]

If only God made square trees, they wouldn't be rolling off the pile so easily🤪.

[@craigthompson4008]

Just hold your breath,

[@francisdelaney2228]

Maybe it's time to add another excavator to your fam equipment...just saying

[@deanreinke1148]

Do you need a DNR permit to burn?

[@rajbeekie7124]

It is a small fire. They would never know.

[@deanreinke1148]

@@rajbeekie7124 That’s what we said too. And within a half hour there was a small plane circling our fire 🔥 and 15 minutes later a DNR truck was at our place asking to see our permit!

[@stephencrook9270]

No, don't burn your new farm, bury it in a hole 70 deep.... That'll be a good video.. lol

[@babsyred9710]

Is Chris M.I.A no upload yesterday lol Where you at Chris????

[@makingithappen5178]

In the previous video, he said that he is not feeling well. He may have taken a break from YT.

[@dewalddejager5493]

Good day, Chris have answered in other videos before. (Sadly...definately not caused) by Chris... The CC or closed captions take an average of two days from the time the video goes live to become available automatically.

[@jeanettecuthriell5578]

not true for me on 2 days. It depends on how close Chris monitors comments. And I hope you are feeling better lately, Chris.
