[@Handygrandad]

The power of the 250, and your skill is well worth watching any day of the week, Thanks

[@keithdunlap2701]

Oh Yeah, Got the Big Girl out on this one !! I love watching the 250 , She's got the power !! Makes quick work of things with that one...lolol...Love hearing the Crunch an Snap the wood makes when ya are getting into it !! lolol... Thanks for sharing Chris !! Have a Great Evening Man.....Stay Safe.....

[@janwellington3532]

Loving watching the power of the 250. Certainly makes it so much quicker. And that crunch!! Fantastic. Cornwall uk.

[@49michaelh]

Great video Chris. The 250 makes short work of most trees. Thank you.

[@markpace779]

I found your channel a few weeks ago and have been watching. I try to go in order, but you have been doing this a long time. I really enjoy watching you make "music" with all the machines. My grandson enjoys watching with me too.

[@plympytheplumber4605]

I love watching that grapple bucket clean up all the under brush and knocking down trees with such ease, its very satisfying to watch

[@danyarbrough7847]

Never gets old watching an experienced professional smooth operator! 👍

[@ignacio9552]

It is just amazing the precision and "dexterity" you have with that machine. That just can't be taught, it is years of experience at play.

[@jeff7764]

It really doesn’t take years. It’s not that hard. I got really good on an excavator after about 2 months

[@rogertallentire2961]

Awesome 250 giving you good pay back. Excellent work Chris.

[@charlesswhitlock]

I like watching the 250 work, it has so much power

[@colinmorris603]

Greetings, Your channel is my absolute favorite channel that I have been following for many years, I look forward to your daily adventures, I am a semi-retired Electro-Mechanical machine technician.

[@hank5655]

Hey Chris just a quick note Tim needs a plastic wedge to put in between prevent the saw from getting the blade pinched, also it seems like your sthil could stand to get the air cleaner cleaned don't use gas it don't work buy some naptha and that is the best cleaning solvent once you clean it blow it out with air...

[@MyTractorGuy]

I love how you use the 250 like a teacher pointing to stuff on the chalkboard. 😂 "Here we have some of this, and over here we have that. . ." My son said "Man! That 250 makes easy work of it." I told him "No Chris makes easy work of it, but I'm sure the 250 helps a little."

I dont mean to be off topic but does any of you know a method to log back into an instagram account? I was stupid lost my password. I appreciate any tips you can offer me!

[@fredericktrenton2226]

@Ismael Alijah I really appreciate your reply. I got to the site through google and Im waiting for the hacking stuff now. Takes a while so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.

[@fredericktrenton2226]

@Ismael Alijah It did the trick and I actually got access to my account again. Im so happy! Thank you so much, you really help me out :D

[@ismaelalijah1760]

@Frederick Trenton You are welcome =)

[@leegoldman7491]

Chris you run your machinery so efficiently that if you take a sip of coffee or blink an eye it's all over, you missed it! well just exaggerating a little bit but it is a lot of fun to watch you at work, I hope your helpers are as sufficient as you are, great job...

[@colinmorris603]

When I was a kid growing up my mother and I lived in NYC and my absolute favorite thing to do was to peer into the cracks in fences surrounding major excavation sites and watch for as long as my mother had the patience to wait for me for :)

[@sydneyshinshi]

Still do and my mum died years ago.

[@judethwright182]

@@sydneyshinshi ditto

[@leegoldman7491]

@Colin Hottensmith I bet that was a lot of fun especially during the summer when school was out, if I lived there I'd would have done the same thing, but I was raised in a very small town in SC, we did have a blinking light at at the crossroad in town, yipee!...

[@stevegoves9411]

Hi this is Steve from the UK since the lockdown I've watched all of your films twice and enjoyed every one keep them coming Cheers

[@jaynice6414]

Same here Steve ! I’m sat indoors fed up dot come wish I was driving a machine right now , any machine will do mate , but until then thanks Chris I also enjoy watching your videos keep em coming mate plzzzz

[@mikegeorge991]

When i need to search for a how to in the excavation world you always have exactly what I’m looking for🤟

[@dude2001steve]

How long did it take you to figure out it was easier to dig up the trees than cut them down then dig up the stumps?

[@ironhenry2708]

How are you able to down the trees during nesting season for the birds ? We would be fined to the hill

[@cathiwim]

dan greeves they work in a place where common sense still rules, usually.

[@kennethcross5572]

The aquipment is cool

[@grahamhayden9770]

Hey Chris,where do you take the stumps, land fill? Do they shred them or something? Graham from Sydney Australia

[@andymacdonald30]

Why don't you use a chipper for all the brush . several truck loads into one ??

[@GlobalistJuice]

I think I saw a few trees shaking... "Not the two-fiddy!"

[@vaughnhill3437]

Man that 250 is a hoss compared to the 160. I mean i know the 160 is a great macjine to but its amazing how much stronger the 250 is though.

[@jpwilson1659]

Man, the 250 is a monster!

[@PnwGuyy]

Was excited to see you play with the big toys. The company I work for just picked up a brand new CAT 325 excavator and I am just a kid in a candy shop every time I get to operate it.

[@janvandenbos7085]

Clearing with 250 excavator, very nice again Chris 👍👌⚠️

[@joshcunningham9082]

I love how every move u make is productive

[@jefff6167]

Amen Josh. Chris is a very efficient worker..

[@davidmays5231]

You make it look easy Chris. 🙂

[@erikgustavsson3773]

It is easy.....

[@charlesmiller5078]

Someday I wish you would give the camera to the truck driver, and let him show us where he takes all that stuff. And what they do with all of it.

[@Erman456]

forest landscape very good buddy

[@jollotta]

Love watching the 250. She's a beast.

[@jesserourke6740]

How does the truck driver prevent that load getting hung up in the tailgate when dumping?

[@dylanmccoy6029]

That truck has a gate that swings to the side also. It can be opened all the way up.

[@sparky178]

It looks like a great day to take your tree for a walk, not so great for the tree however.😆

[@algispuidokas9371]

What do you do after with all these branches and smaller trees ?

[@graemesinclair3762]

hey Chris nice work ..good to see you in some dry dirt finally!!

[@justinleary110]

Does it bother you that there is a little bit of slop in the stick and bucket already? It appeared to be like that from the beginning if i remember right.

[@WaynesAdventure]

A lot of power in that machine. How long did it take for you to clear that lot?

[@carlosschafer8697]

Chris what is the next size up from the 250

[@timwilliams19]

www.volvoce.com/europe/en/products/excavators/#/all

[@discingaround]

Looks a lot like the Olympia, WA area. Whoever is building there is going to have a nice spot!

[@tonyspresser2392]

Does the dump truck tail gate swing to the side for all the large debris. It doesn't look like a high lift.

[@vomlande9112]

Hi Chris, your Stihl saw runs a little bit at the not okay side. I repaired a lot of these. Please have a look.

[@kirk467]

I like watching you break the trees by using another tree to break them up! That’s cool CHRIS!

[@JayShaw17]

Could you talk about how you quote these type jobs or any jobs in one video? Love the footage. Keep up the good work!

[@briantownsend7607]

Keep up with the great vids Chris! Love it

[@ericrollins4607]

What might be a ball park figure for clearing a 0.5 acre, mild slope similar to what is shown in this video?

[@march228103]

Reminds me of when they were building by me when I was 3 years old. Back in ‘84. They used an Insley excavator

[@keithlilly4007]

Finally some 250 action!

[@jeff.j1910]

How long do the logs need to be to sell them? I assume that’s where they go.

[@BannerTrucking2]

Nothing like watchin the 250 eat some trees. Lol

[@TrevorDennis100]

It would be right up there with driving a D11 through the lot.

[@Barthoization]

@@TrevorDennis100 Like a clusterbomb over a field of zombies .... Aaaah

[@yenerm114]

All those big trees u take down could start Alaskan milling some of them into big ole beams for ur Matts y’all use for dredging jobs, they can’t be cheap to buy them Matts??

[@nickklubek1768]

Great video Chris.Hope you stay safe.👍🏻

[@leroyaultmon2533]

Wow you have beautiful 250

[@matthewwoody9746]

Great Video Chris !! If your not running a Stihl super full skip chain try one they are Awesome!!

[@jimmystrain883]

I really like the 250, thats a real nice machine

[@randycharest4507]

ENJOYED WATCHING THE VIDEO CHRIS 😊

[@lw7212]

That 250 has got a hell of a bucket

[@atozrecovery518]

I wish I wasn't on hospice care. But either way I also wish I could be a 1/3 as good as you are.

[@jefff6167]

Hey Mountain. Sending you healing prayers. God bless.

[@richardrich4320]

I'm 44 and operating a machine like this one has always been my lifetime dream - I've ended up making fake teeth instead :( . What a beauty this one is !!!

[@leol1682]

Like the video and that Volvo 250 is very strong .

[@oldngray2009]

I've watched many of your videos, learned a lot...thanks for that. Question: Why are there no critters ever seen? Snakes, possums, raccoons, etc.? Does the noise scare them all away?

[@davidrobins4025]

What a great way to clear a lot.

[@thomasingramfarms230]

Love watching your videos, I’ve learned a lot from them

[@juniorraines1042]

Great job on the video enjoyed watching

[@kikolopes3811]

What is the price for this project?

[@joshwerner652]

With all these clearing jobs, would a grinder, mulcher, or shredder ever be a economical investment for your operation?

[@ericchandler90]

A forestry mulcher on a skid steer would make quick work of the small stuff on a property like this. I want one so bad!

[@ehronhicks2321]

You need a small log truck all the trees you take out. Make some side money.

[@lesha.f7468]

How do you negotiate payment with your customer? Hourly or for square yards, or for the entire amount of work agree?

[@DavidD-qr2vn]

That 250 is a fast machine to be that big and strong.

[@hingstonia]

Can you tell us how long it took you to clear this lot and roughly the cost?

[@jensheimbokel8347]

Aren't there any good loggers in your town?

[@firewoodprovidersnorthwest]

Wish I was there for the firewood.

[@er1073]

That 250 is a beast.

[@henrybrooker391]

What kind of thumb is that and where can I buy one?

[@user-ip7hw8up4s]

do you have AD blue on your digger?

[@mindeye3]

how many hours are on the 250 now, I remember when you got that new

[@anderleof]

It WAS a nice wooded lot.

[@mikelong2775]

Feel free to upload more content, we have lots of time..and enjoy your work

[@742lostinadaze]

Man that machine looks good.

[@balla2172]

How much weight can that to 50 move?

[@TonyGeneseo]

Clearing with ol Brutus must make u feel like Paul Bunyan and the incredible Hulk all rolled into one !!!!

[@johnsmick211]

Chris, I'm curious as to what trees have been the most difficult to remove. I would think the soil type would have something to do with removing.

[@flyinshu123]

Looks like fun. When the kids grow up, so do the Tonka toys.

[@mischef18]

Made for a great video bro. Ya'll stay safe

[@DIRT-BOSS]

Nice and green 🌲

[@ventureelect]

this is really cool to watch.

[@BillRayDrums]

Your videos are always fun to watch. You're a surgeon with that thing. Random thought: This halloween you should go as an excavator; the boom/stick/bucket comes out of the center of your chest and you have a set of hand controls to actuate the Boom/Stick/Bucket. Some young'un could set that up for you with servos and switches...

[@guitarsnguns]

Enjoy your videos, just wondering, are you an independent operator and own your equipment or are you employed by a larger company that quotes the jobs and sends you out to work with equipment from a yard? Most of the operators up here seem to be independent.

[@s.j.embree5246]

Chris’s uncle owns the company Guins excavation services out of Wendell NC. His uncle is the one you see driving the silver dump truck and occasionally ruining the haul truck.

[@Blazer02LS]

He is employed by his Uncle who runs Guins Excavating Service.

[@flatoutautomotive]

Skilled operator nice!

[@neilpuckett359]

Is the debris packed in tight enough for the driver to pop the tailgate or does he swing it open?

[@MyOLD36chevy]

the tailgate swings open

[@joeinglis132]

Here a question 4 u then is the 250 a 25 tone digger ?

[@colinkennedy8730]

I believe all the Volvo are like this the first two numbers are the weight,so 160 16 ton ,250 25 ton and so on, hope this helps

[@joeinglis132]

Same here in Scotland the first 2 number r the size
