That is the least rocky dirt I have seen you work in. Great job. Congratulations on getting the new machine.

[@eliteearthworksllc]

I know I was definitely surprised. Thank you! I can see this machine opening up all kinds of possibilities

Good job Brandon, 2150 already putting work in, definitely made quick work of that farm pond, thanks for sharing buddy, look forward to the next video. 💪💪🇺🇲🇺🇲

Turned out really good big difference from when you started. Been smoking a turkey for my family reunion this weekend so what better way than watching Elite Earthworks. Keep up the great videos

[@eliteearthworksllc]

Thank you! Oh that sounds really good! Have a great time

[@williamdyer8839]

I think you need a couple more hoses running down that boom.LOL

[@eliteearthworksllc]

🤣🤣 it’s got hoses for it’s hoses

[@idigit4967]

Looking good man! I will say I am so glad I don’t own anything that needs DEF. I know Chris has had a crazy run arounds with some of his equipment regarding DEF recently. I’m sure I’ll own something someday soon that will need it tho.

[@eliteearthworksllc]

Thanks buddy! Yeah this is the first machine I’ve had with it and I can already tell it’s going to be annoying 🤣 but I think we’re stuck with it. Appreciate you watching

[@donnierobertson3088]

Nice job and video w

[@eliteearthworksllc]

Thank you!

[@sassafrasvalley1939]

That was a great pond for the Koochies maiden voyage! No rocks, no dam to rebuild, no mats required and... a helper to tote it away. But, best of all, no mud bath! Do you think you'll get so luck on the pond at Diamond Grove? Looks to me that you did a fine job on that pond. Keep it up and Chris will start recommending you to handle his overflow jobs. Anyone that doesn't think that silt will grow plants just needs to look at this video. Have you ever seen lusher grass than that? Can you imagine mixing it 50/50 with some good compost to make a garden??? WOW If we ever get a good rain, it'd be great to see a picture of it full of water. Catch you later

[@eliteearthworksllc]

It was a pretty easy job for sure. I don’t Diamond grove will go this nice lol! Yeah I’d say that silt has a ton of nutrients in it so it obviously grows stuff with no problem. Appreciate the comment

[@claytonl.covell2634]

Looks great!!.. I'd would've unplugged the beepy thing. LOL

[@eliteearthworksllc]

Thank you! I tried too it’s all sealed up in the screen lol

[@southerndirt9589]

Nice job

[@eliteearthworksllc]

Thanks man!

[@daniele.woodhead1218]

Brandon, I was watching Chris Let'sdig18 and his uncle John I believe had some kind of surgery so Chris is solo for little bit, as far as pond jobs he ruff's them out them smooth them with the tilt bucket as far as dredging it depends on the yardage I could be wrong so don't quote me, another 5 ⭐ video loved it 💯 from South Carolina viewer

[@eliteearthworksllc]

I saw that Chris said he is doing good. Appreciate you watching and commenting

[@joemascioni3101]

Looking good there B-man! I was watching you track in and was thinking..."where the hell is his MATS"...lol. 1st time I dredged a pond, I found out that a Timberjack 225 log skidder can winch out a 260 with ease, 8 times before it was all over! No, I didn't have mats. Didn't even know they made such an item.

[@eliteearthworksllc]

Thanks! Oh wow lol! Yeah I don’t have mats either and it was so dry I could just track out there luckily

[@blackdogexcavator21]

I think that was the best looking soil I've seen you digging in. It looked like really good stuff. That bigger machine sure makes a difference, I guess size really does matter. Lol. Be safe dude.

[@eliteearthworksllc]

Yeah it was awesome soil! I wish I could have kept it lol! Yes I would say size definitely matters 😁

[@sparky178]

Nice Job, that’s the driest pond I’ve ever seen 😆

[@eliteearthworksllc]

Thanks! 🤣 yeah he pumped it out months ago waiting on me

[@chasebodiford4363]

great job buddy and great video as always buddy the 2150 is a beast i don’t know how i found the videos so entertaining but i enjoy them look forward to every video 😎👊🏻👍🏻

[@eliteearthworksllc]

Thanks man! I love the 2150 it’s a mean machine

[@chasebodiford4363]

@@eliteearthworksllc you are welcome buddy 😀

[@sonnyblazer5504]

So is this the FIRST 'maiden' VIDEO of the 2150? Oh WOW, that first scoop reminded me of "PRAIRIE" World! This one was about your BEST audio - like SURROUND SOUND - maybe the acoustics in the 2150! Lots of digging and somehow you changed the entire look - GREAT PICS at the end! Good job, dude - take tomorrow off! Sonny

[@eliteearthworksllc]

Thank you! It did remind me of that too. I think it’s helps that it’s quieter in the cab makes a big difference. Appreciate the comment

[@littlefinkle7757]

You sounded pumped up at the beginning! ...you could always dredge it into being a big pond 😁

[@eliteearthworksllc]

I was excited 😁 hopefully someday I’ll dredge a real pond 🤣

[@roberttweed2735]

Good looking pond Letsdig18 2.0😝😝

[@eliteearthworksllc]

🤣 thanks!

[@junehunk1]

nice dredging job,it looks like you are having a good time,hope you get more if you like doing ponds.

[@eliteearthworksllc]

It was a blast! I need to find some more of these 👍🏻 thank you!

[@beeroquoisnation]

Good work Dirty Money. I just picked up the 84" Bradco/Takeuchi dozer blade dirt cheap. They never even wore the paint off of it. I was surprised at how well the 230 pushed with it. Replacing the undercarriage this weekend.

[@eliteearthworksllc]

Thanks! That’s awesome! I bet that’s a handy attachment 👍🏻

[@beeroquoisnation]

@@eliteearthworksllc Handier than a D6 being little, but not big enough to do "Elite" work. :P

[@hphillips7425]

I had to go to the description for the video. I thought I was watching your trainee from Wendell.

[@eliteearthworksllc]

🤣🤣 well thanks maybe I didn’t do too bad

[@michaelpage9883]

Not bad to be your first go at a pond dredging. Looks like it’s time to schedule another class with Chris on pond dredging. That could lead to a Volvo like he has.

[@eliteearthworksllc]

🤣 I just got the 2150 but that could be fun

[@brandenhoward6301]

Good job. I believe as dry as that pond is you could have cleaned it out with the skid steer. I seen Jakes backhoe service clean one our with his 2 backhoe just using the loaders

[@eliteearthworksllc]

Probably but less tracking with the 2150 plus that’s what I brought

[@floridabrushanddirt2482]

On smaller ponds especially I start with the bottom or deepest point, I get that right first trip if possible and make it deep. That part sucks but after that all of the water and soupy stuff sits in the bottom and leaves you free to pull banks or whatever you want to do without dealing with the slop. I’m good at ponds I just suck at KZbin 🤣🤣🤣

[@eliteearthworksllc]

That’s a good idea. This wasn’t much of a dredging job being it was so dry lol I think you do just fine at KZbin 👍🏻

Howdy Elites! 🤠

[@eliteearthworksllc]

Howdy!

[@wymershandymanservice9965]

Definitely making a big difference. Would have been helpful had they mowed back the grass so a guy had a better definition of the layout. The new excavator is making short work of it 👍. So you going get mats and work on showing Chris how it’s done 😁. Enjoy the content. 🇺🇸🦅🌏⚓️🇺🇸

[@eliteearthworksllc]

Yeah that would have been nice. I would love to get more pond work. Hopefully I will. This excavator has been awesome! Appreciate you watching

[@tonycole613]

Brandon what's your thoughts on the new machine so far looks like it's doing a good job enjoy your videos Man

[@eliteearthworksllc]

I love it! I think it’s going to be a game changer for me. The tricky part is guessing how long things will take with it. It gets stuff done quick lol

[@danrich9794]

That would have been fun to do

[@eliteearthworksllc]

It was I really enjoyed it

[@williamdyer8839]

Looks like the clean up bucket would work better than the digging bucket

[@eliteearthworksllc]

Probably I just don’t have one for this machine yet

[@dansevern3291]

I'm watching YOU to learn, but I do note that Chris always works the phrase "smear it around" into his pond dredging videos. Try and see if that helps. (You may have to try to match his accent, but if it works, it works.)

[@eliteearthworksllc]

🤣🤣 I’ll do that next time. Oh I think the accent is must 😁

[@samschneider7473]

Looks good! Are you gonna tint your windows like the TB260?

[@eliteearthworksllc]

Yes waiting on my tint guy to get a 60” roll in for that big side window lol

[@sargentslaughter3509]

That looks like quite a bit of dirt that you pulled out of there. I guess that must have filled the low area you mentioned, also do you know who's doing the dirt work just north of Anderson car and tractor?

[@eliteearthworksllc]

Yeah I lost count on how many loads we dug lol! No I’ve been over that way in awhile I can’t remember what’s suppose to be going in there. I’ll see if I can find out
