Cutting In A New Driveway And House Lot Pad

I rented a grader once to try to clean up a gravel road. Running one of those is significantly harder than Chris makes it look.

[@Mtlmshr]

I know it doesn’t matter to you Chris but even watching strip the grass off that area for the driveway entrance just shows how these machines are nothing more than extensions of your arms and hands you simply make it look so damn effortless to do that and make it look good as well! I never get bored watching you do this work, it’s always a pleasure to watch a true pro at work!

[@geoffshore4783]

I agree!

[@ryanhoward1013]

I also agree, two thumbs up 👍 👍 Chris is the very best at what he does. Thanks for sharing

Starting another project,nice piece property and I’m sure after you put your touch on it.possibly they will get started building their forever home.great video.just keep doing what your doing.👍👍👍😎😎😎

[@terryrogers1025]

The motor grader, the finesse machine, one can do things with it that no other machine is capable of, sort of the slickinem up machine on the rough in phase, then you get the 953 beast out to do the bulk of the moving, ( beast,meaning the biggest machine on site.) fun project to watch develop sir, thanks.

[@garydillon3960]

Good and enjoyable video. Chris, I believe you were born to run equipment the way you can handle it. The extras that you do is a complement to your expertise. Keep up the great work and God Bless.

Wasn’t this the clearing project from a while back? Good looking road and start of the pad!!

This looks like one of your clearing jobs after leaving Bealy Good Farms. Good job - looks like the grader was not liking rocks and roots.

Nice lot. You made quick work with the motor grader. Driveway down, pipe installed and house pad. Boom it's done. Good video.

[@mischef18]

Be a nice change from rooting out stumps and building ponds bro. Looking good so far anyway and the track loader gets a run on a paying job. Safe travels. Ken.

[@bosshogg3548]

Job well done 👍🏻

[@Todd.Roberts]

Well at least they have the right one putting in the road . Cause you have a lot of experience of that

[@sylviaprudhomme5417]

Like the underneath shots. Enjoy watching it take shape❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@larryperdue508]

To bad they didn't build track loaders like skidsterres so you could change the bucket out for other hydraulic attachments I mean it's basically a giant skidsterre 😊

[@GARDENER42]

When you were working on the loader & mentioned not wanting a hydraulic oil 'bath' I couldn't remember when you had one until the grader came on screen. That was not a great day.

[@joecapo8292]

Good evening Chris, unfortunately the gentleman from New York State. Does not understand that the ground water table, in the Carolina's is high. Sometimes very close to the surface. There is a high content of hard clay. That clay does not always percolate. Chris is for the most part, working with that clay. It is advantages to pack the clay, and use it as a base. The amount of drainage that is installed, makes or brakes your road integrity. Every state has different soil content, and your requirements to work with that, also changes. Chris goes beyond the minimum requirements. He doesn't have to many jobs, that have to be reworked, because of an error, Joe Capo.

[@DeweyCheatumNHoweLLC]

The other thing to remember is that NC doesn't get the freeze we do. So, no need for 4ft deep basement digs.

[@jwdickinson643]

that soil looks to be as hard as my ex’s heart!

[@wm3138]

I’ve been watching this channel for several years now and your skill level just keeps getting better and better.

[@74_Green]

Do you ever use the cutting shanks on the front of the grader??

[@kenore4003]

He said in another post that they didn't work very well.

[@ryanhoward1013]

I've been watching Chris work for about 8 years, and I never miss a post, and I have only seen him use the front shanks one time. I was surprised at how they operated, and they didn't work very well, but it was neat to see them work.

[@74_Green]

@@ryanhoward1013 Been watching for 14 years, Beaver dam busting and have watched ever since. It seemed like a good candidate for using them, just to scratch up the top few inches.

Chris, did you ever burn the big brush pile at the swamp draining project you started two years ago? Hint, hint...😉

[@Wateronhine]

360° with a selfie stick would be epic on the grader.

This is a previous clearing job of Chris'. Stumps and brush burnt at that time.

[@FSEAirboss]

@@RAYAR54I was thinking it looked familiar, but I had thought he already had put in the entrance there when I made that comment. But now I am questioning that. lol...what happens when you get old I guess.

Curious - Where did you come up with the term "Motor Grader"? I've grown up and spent my whole life hearing "road grader" or just "grader" but never motor grader.

[@randyadams7269]

Why don’t you have rubber tire front end loaders?

Oh yeah…, had been going thru some grader withdrawals.., great to get a jolt of grader action.., before winter squashes it till next year… the site prep looks great. Thank you sir.

Looks like the 953 could have been the only machine you needed to do all that. Do you sometimes feel like to have to use all your equipment to justify purchasing it? You do have a great collection, though.

Dumb question incoming.... Have you thought of using or obtained a wheel loader for moving dirt long distances on site vs the track loader? I'm ignorant on excavating, but aren't wheel loaders faster? Just curious.

MM77 Approved 👍🏻👍🏻

[@stephenarthy6593]

Ada the grader done a good job

[@CraigGrant-sh3in]

It amazing to watch how all you guys have to do for a road or driveway way is clear the grass off and lay a few inches of gravel on it . I'm in upstate NY . If you want your driveway to last up here you need about six inches of gravel , a good layer of binder blacktop and then a two inch finish layer. I built my house on top of a mountain and had to put in a foot of cobbles fabric and six inches of bank run gravel .

[@Manoffire260]

You got one thing they don’t have much down where Chris is… Deep Freezes. 🥶

[@gravelydon7072]

Driveway, what's that? Many of the homes down here just have grass and you drive on that. But then our rock is less than 6" down and what the grass grows on is basically ground up rock.
