Clearing A Lot On A Steep Hill

[@bobblundell2281]

trees in the middle of the bush are usually the tallest and straightest with less branches they grow towards the sun light. Happy Easter everyone and god bless.

[@marcwohlmayer7897]

Happy easter weekend and enjoy the holidays. Nicely cleared.the owner of this Lot is gonna be a Happy camper. 😀.

[@TrevorDennis100]

Steep lots like that can be expensive to build on, but they make for interesting properties. I once lived in such a house that was on five different levels, and while we did not have a creek at the bottom of the slope (more like a ditch) we did have ancient woodland. That meant snowdrops after Christmas and bluebells in the spring. We felt privileged to live there. John was worrying me knelt down behind that tree with the chainsaw. With Chris pushing the top I was concerned the trunk would barber-chair and John would have been hard pressed to get out of the way. Shake Hands With Danger, uncle John.

[@adamsmddwg]

that is amazing how quiet the volvo is... You do a great job on all your work site that you do

[@assassinlexx1993]

The excavator is purring. Trees cracking with a smooth voice telling how the clear a lot safely. Dry sandy dirt is a nice change. Blessings this Easter weekend.

[@terryclement9811]

Always fun to watch you take out those big trees so effortlessly. Good job Chris!

[@huskiesgo5944]

You make it look easy. I've been digging up cottonwood stumps with a mini ex on an old river bottom. Talk about rocks.

[@markc3085]

A few months ago, an old friend of mine was killed in an accident taking down some dead trees; one tree got hung up on another one and caused a branch to drop on him. Wish he had a big machine to be in when that happened. Be safe!

[@rustysteel8714]

Those are some of the tallest trees I've seen felled with the Volvo, Chris. Nice planning, and no hangers; an underappreciated skill in close quarters. 😉 Happy Easter to you and yours. 😇

[@Jeppe.P.Bjerget]

Always great and interesting to follow your work. To see the way you handle trees and the area around. I wish i could try this out some day. I have been driving big machines before, but not like the art that you are doing. I wish you a nice Easter and look forward to see new projects. Best wishes from Jan in Norway

[@patricknorman8358]

Chris l bet the people around your area are glad to have you to do work for them. Great job as always man!

[@kenc3288]

Expensive lot to build on, slope = expensive foundations. Always quality work by Chris. Cheers from 🇦🇺

[@davidrobins4025]

Its amazing to watch how your excavator makes short work of taking down the big trees. I do enjoy watching. Thanks for another video.

[@jonathanlanglois2742]

Seems like the type of hill that just about every other lot has where I live. I'm on a hill myself. It's so nice to just be able to push the snow downhill during winter.

[@mischef18]

No mud with job either bro you are sure living the dream. Safe travels over Easter.

[@thomaswypyszinski3645]

The people next door watching the pretty woods/ view going down..... 😥 HAPPY EASTER!!!! 🐰

17:05 one of the biggest pine tree You've taken down ever :) Your videos are like lessons for owner-operators who are starting to work with excavators, dozers and motor graders! Thank You for sharing your experience. Be safe and blessed Chris!

[@ronwatson4902]

Reminds me of the old Ally Oop song. He rides through the jungle tearing limbs off of trees. Knocking great big monsters dead on their knees.

Its amazing the weight and power behind a big faling tree☺️ nice job m8

[@kdexcavation4887]

I've got to take a break from clearing last few days and finished the road coming into the place .... have to get back to clearing again monday due to the customers wanting the lot bigger .... have to clear more land to add another key in and fill more into the slope .... I keep swampers busy when i clearing cutting root balls and cutting stems ..... Great video as always .....

[@rongrose3746]

Hope you have a restful Easter !!

[@davecrable1356]

You'll definitely get some really nice saw logs from that lot.

[@GARDENER42]

I had to remove the 8' high trunk & roots of a 12" diameter damson in my garden today. Took me 4 hours to dig round the roots & cut through them with an axe. I reckon Chris' machine could probably have plucked it straight out the ground in one pull. 😁

[@stevewolff7187]

Its interesting that you are able to remove the trees and root systems in the septic system area. In Minnesota you must not disturb the ground at all in the septic site. You can cut the tree down but the stump must remain. A mound is built on top of the undisturbed soil. I would like to see you leave at least one tree in the future front yard. It pains me to see all those mature trees being taken down!

[@ricklane8554]

Happy Easter Chris :)

You don't allow those trees any wiggle room to go anywhere but where you intend them to drop. Good show. tks

[@williamhouk6880]

Take all those trees down and keep those new rain gutters clean . I've seen the amount of rain that you get in your area and the last thing anyone there needs is plugged up gutters on a new home. Have a Blessed & hopefully Dry Easter!

[@tripler3724]

I watch these with mixed feeling, over the years, I've watched thousands of acres of woodlands turned into all sorts of housing as people "move into the country." The loss of these woodlands saddens me, but to each his own. We have quite a bit of land and have standing offers of very substantial money for home sites, but the present tax structure is such we can decline. I'm sure it is not good economics to keep that lot "as is". Businesses like letsdig 18 are essential and we recently dropped $40k+. We occasionally rent an excavator, but a seasoned operator at the controls makes all the difference in many instances. I see comments on what to do with the wood. Here, we literally can't give it away. Our contractor is a friend and he checked everyone he knew, so we'll burn it.

[@johnearhart8811]

[@jamjames1971]

Chris you are the man

[@rkalle66]

Trees in a forest will grow up higher than in isolation due to reaching the sun and protecting each other against wind. Clearing a lot and keeping only some trees which were growing up under forest conditions can cause problems after the forest condition is cleared away. To high for staying alone.

[@Mephiston]

Woo, nice one. Welcome back Chris, have a great easter.

[@johnwhicks8687]

If you cut them down what’s a good height to leave the stumps? Or does it matter. Great video

[@HughzieTube]

You won't need a lawnmower for that plot, just a mountain goat!

[@cathiwim]

Any old goat would do!, lol

[@jeffwisemiller3590]

The only question I have is who shows up first? Chris & his toys or....the Porta-Potti. Maybe that would explain the remote action shots. May as well set the camera up while you're out there. For really extreme road building, check out Spark, goldmine in the clouds. The guy started with a yard tractor & kept getting bigger until he had a D9 up there. 70 degree slope & all!
