Yard looks much nicer, awesome work !

[@tede3124]

Over my lifetime, I have seen yard sticks, laser pointers, hands, etc. used as a pointer. This man uses the bucket of a f**n big back hoe to point out items of interest. I love it! Keep it up and be well letsdig18.

[@TomTalley]

Didn't know you could cook...nice stump lasagna...thanks for the video. I learn something new every time. Pleasure to watch you work. T

[@michaelmcclure8673]

[@LadDox_]

I really like how you talked through what you were doing. And in good detail. Thanks for going the extra mile! This vid was awesome!! 👏👏

[@janwellington2982]

Another great video Chris. Great job. Very satisfying watching. Cornwall UK.

[@BeytekinConstructionMachinery]

That corner looks much better at the end of the day! ;-)

[@photocontrol]

Awesome work! The yard looks much better!

[@leol1682]

Thanks for video ,Enjoy it ,have good evening guy's .

[@mischef18]

From a organised bomb to a slick finish you and Tim did well bro. Great video too. Stay safe ya'll.

[@Todd.Roberts]

Looks good . But I feel cheated out of a good fire lol

[@johncampbell6382]

Ye bigger garden parties 🥳 as that’s a lot of space just for a garden. Great job 👍

[@lw7212]

Looks like the same organized bomb i always got on earthmoving jobs Thanks for the videos and stay healthy Chris

[@papaw5405]

Rain ain't coming here! It ain't never left!

[@juniorraines1042]

Enjoyed watching your video Chris thank you for sharing

[@charlesmiller5078]

Your like a small Island of Sanity, thanks for helping us stay sane.

[@DavidGrassSr]

Its like making a cake... I layer over here and a layer over there. You put it all together and Yummmeee Its all done, See Ya, Texas

[@pavelow235]

Huge backyard!

[@odin-eliottodinson7330]

Now just some seeding and water and she'll be perfect.

[@smcox1991]

“An organized bomb” that’s exactly what my building lot looks like right now 😂 I know how it will look when it’s done but it’s a big damn mess during the process.

[@davidmerryman5565]

Have you thought about using a mic when you are in the cab so we can hear you better

[@raeanker3078]

Thanks for the great video mate ,do you have any rock where you operate in general ,seems to be clay and sandy loam ,I'd always put a rock and reef clause when I'd quote for the larger jobs ,there's only certain places where you could be certain what type of ground you were dealing with ,and it could add days for excavation prices if you got it wrong. Cheers from down under.

[@walla2k594]

Nice work men!

[@grahamhayden9770]

Some before and after shots on a split screen would be neat on jobs like this. Cheers mate from Australia.

[@mrpatrickwilson1]

Nice job guys.

[@roadrash90]

You should save the top soil you don't use, I'm sure you could make a little stock pile on the farm 😁

[@williamgraham8809]

Is Tim family? He sure is talented and dedicated!

[@MichaelSmith-os1pp]

Good Job!

[@thomasleonard1846]

That 160 gets a lot of hours and just keeps on trucking!

[@nighthawk784]

Always enjoy the videos, but you should explore some type of mic that’s in front of you when talking. It’s worse when you talk in a low voice. The commentary is a part of why folks watch.

[@stedder8436]

Nice work!

[@ArizVern]

You got that dead mouse hanging by it's tail on the windshield wiper again.

[@cathiwim]

ArizVern LOL

[@nancygoodman8273]

Is anyone else having difficulty hearing Chris when he is in the cab? I have my volume to the max.

[@TonyGeneseo]

What a difference !!!

[@mudnmore2171]

Hey bud! I'm buying a new Vio 55 and before I sign on the line was wondering what you like/don't about yours? Nobody runs them up here but my buddy who I bought my Gehl from just switched to become a Yanmar dealer so I figured I'd go with one. Love the channel!

[@timlarcombe9096]

Poetry in motion

[@trolling4dollars816]

I can not believe you resisted dumpimping a 160 bucket loa of dirt on top of the skid steer for fun

[@RockMonster1000]

yeahooo

[@hornetobiker]

Future sink hole, well done. More work for the future a?

[@Elwould23]

why don't you take the 2 fiddy on those kinds of jobs? I imagine it would be swifter. but I'm guessing there are access issues w/ the bigger machine.

[@nickh7050]

They need to hire a semi and lowboy trailer to move the 250. They can tow the 160 behind their dump truck themselves.

[@TrevorDennis100]

Guins can move all their equipment other than the 250 for which they have to pay for a lowboy trailer. That adds a significant cost to a small job like this. I did wonder about the Hitachi that Chris has now. That also needs a lowboy to move it, but I imagine it means Chris can take on bigger weekend jobs than if he had a 160 equivalent size excavator. I think he might get mate's rates for the Hitachi. There was a job where Chris let the lowboy owner's young son drive the Hitachi from the truck to the job site which would have been appreciated, and made the lad's whole year.

[@نونا-ط4ح5ش]

WOW you are super man❣

[@richwielechowski5191]

Working around a development like this do you ever have neighbors come over to hire you do work around their yards?

[@MyOLD36chevy]

I am surprised there weren't people setting on lawn chairs watching.

[@collinmurphy1903]

How much would you charge for a job like that?

[@bobbaer869]

👍👍

[@yvindascanius6061]

Who in their right mind wants MORE grass to mow??

[@Erman456]

attachment works very well👏👏

[@tdimccullough]

a question about the volvo power thumb, it looks like it's ram is as big as the bucket ram, i've watched a few other operators and they complain about the thumb ram having a pressure relief valve so as not to bend the thumb ram, therefore they can't lift as much, you don't seem to have that problem

[@letsdig18]

I have my settings set high, I just know what the limit is before the cylinder fails

[@johnnyholland8765]

"Like an organized bomb" Never seen one of them.............. Now the rest of the neighbors will want work done. Gotta keep up with the neighbor you know.

[@bearpump]

Fling!

[@maineman11]

Seven minutes longer than it needed to be.

[@TillingsExcavation]

I hate to ask personal questions Chris. Whats this job worth roughly?

[@AustinSlacker]

worth? I'd say it's worth at least 1 satisfied customer, and 4 or 5 future referrals.

[@GARDENER42]

Stack up all those scraped off weeds & attached soil & 12 months later you have a pile of really excellent soil/compost - shame to bury it.

[@ZeZeBatata69]

Is it me or the 160's hydraulic pump is getting a bit tired?

[@letsdig18]

well it is 9 years old

[@localcrew]

ZeBatata I’ll bet that there’s a Volvo version of Cat’s hydraulic fluid additive that is designed to quiet the system down some. You should throw a pint in there if you think about it. Couldn’t hurt.

[@thomascarlson4469]

Hi ! Im from Sweden. My Akerman H9 excavator it,s 40 years old and still working...but she is tired to 😁

[@excavatordigger2383]

Is this all equiment yours chris

[@cathiwim]

James Wedding no,most is his uncle’s-who owns the company.

[@RickyCervo]

How many hours have the 160?

[@letsdig18]

almost 5k

[@RickyCervo]

@@letsdig18 woo great!!

[@pjs5191]

Chris, is your AC broken? Seems like you’ve been running with the door and/or window open a lot lately. Makes it harder to hear you talking with the whine of the excavator. Nice video as always, just something I’ve noticed lately.

[@excavatordigger2383]

Or rental

[@mikeseguin6443]

All your jobs come together before you leave the job site.

[@scrapman502]

Sure Burrying this stuff may seem OK now, but in 20 or so years, the homeowner is going to have an enormous sinkhole in his back yard!

[@briangardiner1015]

I appoint you to go look at it in 20 years.

[@scrapman502]

@@briangardiner1015 Sure, Just leave me your name and where you'll be in 20 years so I know who to blame for it!

[@KPearce57]

Just would I don't want 5 acres to mow, probably an excuse to get a 72" ZT mower.

[@scrapbmxrider16]

I got 6 and a 72" makes a nice saturday afternoon

[@dirty.diggers]

Nice work Chris!

[@leeharris3061]

Hahaha....hope nobody needs captioning on this video....i turned it on just to see...its not catching your words very well, youll be plenty confused..its messed up..c'mon youtube you can do better than that...other that i love the vids chris 👍

Who sits in the home where watch the vedio at corona🤣🤧😷

[@yvindascanius6061]

ME!!

[@danseverinsen7558]

I really dont like the ide of digging a big hole and dropping all the junk in, instead of take it to a recycling place.

[@MowTheLawnWithMe]

Comment

[@thepotterer3726]

I simply don't get this video, topsoil is a valuable resource and the richest and most fertile on that plot was in that top layer that you first stripped off.............and subsequently buried!

[@22138LCV]

Time to get a lapel mike, Chris. Tired of hearing all the wine of the machines over your voice.

How do you not what clay looks like? Maybe if you concentrated on what you're doing instead of voicing every thought in your head it might come to you?

Have you ever dug to deep and an angry china man came popping out?
