Few Things Before The Hurricane

[@taho69]

You should take a day and go record some of the ponds you made after they've had time to fill up and the landscape around them has grown.

[@joemarvin5170]

Wow, that dissipater pad looks great with some water in it! That was some beautiful work. Thanks for the follow-up.

[@stevecobb6001]

The pond at the end of the video looks amazing for all the work you put in. Great job!

[@GARDENER42]

Aye, it's good to have these visits back to completed projects.

[@BroHay1025]

just watching the repositioning of the BH to scrape the pile makes me appreciate the efficiency of the excavator. Sit in one place and do it all from there. Guess I'll have to keep doing it the harder way instead of the smarter way. Enjoyed!

[@MatthewHoag77]

That stumper attachment has an extra use up here in the north. In the winter, it'd be one heck of a frost buster. Good to see that all is well for you after the recent storms.

[@Mike.Howard]

Thanks for the update at the end - looks fantastic!

[@johnnygolden7401]

Chris, Glad you showed us how your recent projects held up! That kind of puts a neat bow on the projects for us viewers. I really liked that.

[@johng8473]

Really like seeing the finished project after it's been there a while. You do some very nice work Chris. I enjoy your videos very much.

[@jeffrytaylor7321]

Hey Chris thanks for going back to the other project showing it finishes nice great job keep it up learning a lot

[@kens.3729]

Looks like the Projects are performing as expected since you know Exactly what you’re doing. 👍

[@adambaker5729]

Wow that stump attachment is an absolutely wicked looking thing!

[@nerdgarage]

If only garden weeding were that easy. =)

[@duanelundgren7985]

I like the follow up on previous projects!! Thanks

[@mattbolton8230]

Great seeing finished job a little while later, both turned out great. Thanks for the updates

[@tracydavis3149]

Beautiful work you done Chris on the rock I'm that Creek going Thur that school yard. Can't wait to see that stump remover work. Love the videos Chris.

[@joeystump3591]

Enjoy the after shots, especially the ponds and dams👍

[@mslorry3420]

Mother Nature sure slapped the Carolinas and Virginia hard with water with this one. Glad the resent work wasn't undone because of it. These two projects look amazing with water levels up! 👍👍

[@philthemagician1949]

The pond look's Awesome well done !!

[@KG-yn9qi]

Thank you the update look of the dredge/inlet work! Looking good!

[@ConstructionMachineryChannel]

Must be satisfying to be able to see the pond in action collecting water. Plus we get to see you operating a backhoe 👍

[@heathworsley8347]

You were a man on a mission with that topsoil pile thank you for the great video!

[@paulmuir9459]

for the quick hich you have on the volvo 220 excavator you could get a ROCK RIPPER or a SKELETON BUCKET or a ROOT RAKE or a HIGH CAPACITY DITCH CLEANING BUCKET or a ROTARY TILT DITCH CLEANING BUCKET or a V-BOTTOM BUCKET or a FORESTRY RCKE or a DITCH CLEANING BUCKET or a TRAPEZOID BUCKET - TEETH or a TRAPEZOID BUCKET - BOE from AMI

[@stuartholden2652]

Thanks for the footage there at the last. It's satisfying to see everything in action after seeing you've built it.

[@eliteearthworksllc]

That topsoil pile didn’t look that big until you pulled up in the backhoe by it lol. That ripper will be very handy. The quick coupler is a game changer

[@jafo9346]

That spillway that you created with all of those stones so meticulously arranged, looks phenomenal.

[@paulsautocm]

glad your work is holding up. Looks great

[@DJ2CM]

Hi Chris, I new you created a great water feature 👍. Can't wait to see you claw your way through that Grove of trees. With you thumb that should be quite the grapple. Stay safe and happy 🇨🇦 Craig. Oh on another note that shirt I got from you is probably the best quality tee-shirt O own . your class all the way Buddy👍

[@keithdunlap2701]

Both of those projects turned out really nice Chris !! You was right on the money on the retaining wall, there at the end. Great work as always Man !! Have a Great Evening , an Weekend ......On too the Next !!

[@robertforrest7956]

Wish we had that rain here in CA with the fires! Hopefully though you faired well thru the storm. 😊👍

[@MrImATarget]

Its good to see you return to your projects and see them in operation. Must be a relief for you as well to see your rocks right where you put them and not washed away lol

[@davidbrickey5925]

The project turned out real nice.. 👍☕️🍀

[@jasonpanzer5097]

I watch your videos all the time they are awesome I like the way you operate your machines makes me wanna come and help sometimes

[@bradleymincey6905]

That dissipator pad looks awesome!

[@tangowhisky14]

Thanks Chris showing the “park” finished waterway. Excellent video as always.

[@derrickpettit3489]

An that water feature looks awesome Chris, good job on that project

[@clydeacor1911]

All of those jobs turned out very nice!

[@leol1682]

Chris love your work man .

[@ignacio9552]

The end of the video. I remember when you redid the outflow pipe with the humungous boulders. It looks really nice with the water flowing out of it. What a great job Chris.

[@johnthompson9625]

I have wondered why you weren't using the "stumper" tool. Now that you have a quick attach for the new Volvo, you are going to be insane fast. Really looking forward to you changing out tools and seeing how fast you can cut roots.

[@warrioroftheking3503]

Great job Chris.

[@dusty2206]

My favorite videos, workin at the homestead. I'm glad I'm not the only OCD one about a nice lookin pile of dirt or gravel!

[@odc43054]

You guys got the rain. We missed it all near Sumter.

[@13eckerlosmuerte]

I get a kick out of our pre emissions backhoes, loud as hell and smells like burnt iron. Really enjoy showing up to jobs and having other crews look at us funny running 1990's jd backhoes while they sit in utter silence with new 2019-2020 CAT's.

[@bigdave6331]

its impressive how quiet the new machines are though, had a brand new 2020 cat wheel loader rental on a bridge we did recently, it sounded like a golf cart compared to our old john deere

[@cat320dful]

Stay safe out there

[@johncampbell6382]

It’s always good when we see the job done and it works perfect.👍

[@williamd6967]

Everything stayed put.big old slabs look good.

[@CapeAnnImages]

All we got from that hurricane was a bit of wind and a 15 minute downpour! I'm on the coast in Gloucester, Ma 26 miles from Boston as the gull flies. We could have used the rain, my fish pond pump broke and waiting for a new one to arrive. In the meantime I'm using my 55 gallon rain barrel to drip enough water into the pond to aerate it for the fish. I dug a deep hole in the brook behind my house to be able to scoop buckets of water when I need to supplement the rain barrel. Can't use tap water because the chemicals the city uses will kill the fish. The rain barrel overflow normally flows into the pond when it rains. Great work on that pond project! Best Regards, Jay

[@rcpasc1948]

I do enjoy the follow ups.

[@davestinson5691]

Wish i had that pile of topsoil. Great content man as usual ty!!. Ur 310 is a damn good tractor. Besides no ac it's nice

[@KPearce57]

Plunge pool held up well !

[@juniorraines1042]

Great job on the video Chris hope you have a great weekend

[@robertrockwell7581]

nice work Chris.

[@kingslawn]

“ well im going to keep it because I’m still going to use it “ said nobody who has purchased a new toy and loves it the most 😃

[@chrisv4640]

You gotta get used to using the split brake to help you turn sharper

[@Asianjeff69]

Good work and I love your videos

[@maineman11]

Great Video Chris !

[@stanleybroadhead8978]

Smooth Man Smooth!!

[@stevekline3383]

Hurricane better not delay my shirt order!

[@mischef18]

Enjoyed the video bro. Stay safe up there

[@csnelling4]

Is that another summer time haircut Chris ? looks cool and smart 👍 the two ponds look great,especially the last one in the video.thanks Chris 👏👏👏👏👍🇬🇧

[@george8873]

Excited to see that stump ripper demolishing stumps.

[@uppsalahazzemarkstedt2759]

Seems lika good bucket for the Deere Backhoe, Chris! Lol

[@JasonWorksAlot]

Wait a minute did you order this hurricane crap so you could fill the pond???? 😡 you better have had a good markup on that

[@RagsdaleCreek]

👍👍👍👍👍 God bless Stay safe

[@kscooter73]

Love your videos. Being a former operator I appreciate the skills you have. I'm trying to work my way back into it on my own property for now. Can you offer any tips for my first time dropping large trees? I have plenty of dig time so I'm familiar with machines just worried about 80ft trees

[@PhilSmith-sr7uh]

I love any vid with the old 310 in 👍

[@billymallon7342]

Hopefully not too much damage . Nice jcb

[@joshrountree]

One thing I don't have a good understanding of is when you use certain kind of equipment. Also, the only thing that I think you haven't purchased personally for your farm is a skid steer loader. Does the backhoe serve the purpose of a skid steer loader? When would you use the excavator portion of the backhoe instead of the mini?

[@richardscudds4753]

at 2.50 minutes you can see that field mouse hot footin out there , hahahah

[@jdsparky288]

At 2:00.....I could have swore you said “This topsoil pile is growing some good weed” 😳! I had to rewind and take a second look! 😬🤣

[@chun3720]

Schwing

[@ebdiging583]

U should get a mud bucket chris it would be handy to have

[@ernestsilva3612]

Like to see that stumping attachment working. Looks like a dinosaur claw.

[@davekielmann8986]

Please show some after pics of the shooting range, Keep up the good work.

[@briangardiner1015]

I think the shooting range was quite a long way from his house. We just see the jobs we don't know how far they are from his house.

[@darrenparker4410]

👍from the uk.

[@billymallon7342]

Darren Parker you look like a fine man in that photo 😉 good on you

[@ernestsilva3612]

Lived in Myrtle Beach years ago. Hurricanes are no joke. Heavy rains where you can't see a foot... just like snow.

[@jerryfaulkner6518]

I have a 310 SE about the same year as your backhoe. For the age, what they cost and what those things can do, you about want to throw stones at anything else in that age group....

[@makingithappen5178]

It works well the old Deer.

[@neonhomer]

I'd like to see some time-lapse video of some of these ponds filling up... could make for interesting content.

[@jaquigreenlees]

How full is that new(ly redone) pond after the hurricane?

[@billfenner7084]

I am glad to see that you have saved the baby bucket. You may have to use it for a job. How did the topsoil pile fair after the hurricane?

[@michaelday7890]

As an operator of heavy equipment had chance to evaluate 3 backhoes John Deere, Ford and Case. All machines performed wonderfully and equally, but going down the road John Deere would buck you like a mule.

[@heidi12ish]

Hiya Chris, love watching your vlogs and seeing the progress on different projects you do. What’s happened to Tim? Haven’t seen him for a while, is he ok and still working with you? Stay safe x

[@MichaelHolloway]

12:42 - drove before lifting stabilizers. :)

[@emadeldinhessain3272]

Great.

[@brianmeattey4151]

I'm not use to seeing you in a bucket loader backhoe lol allways see ya in the Volvo

[@markbergin8940]

Nice video👍

[@billymallon7342]

Fire getho always makes nice videos 😉

[@dennism644]

Yall got some big ole bugs there @ 543 to 544 there's a spider that appears on the black plastic pipe bout scared the shit out of me .lol

[@jasonking2943]

It looks small but it's pretty good size he says then he went on to say nothing like I have haha

[@derrickpettit3489]

Listened to your podcast with buildwitt Chris, cool conversation, thanks for sharing as always Chris, how many hours is on your backhoe now, you had that one for awhile now.

[@magnoliascreens7469]

"...pretty good for eye-balling the level" Yes it was, Chris. It wasn't a fluke nor luck, that's for sure. Appreciate the updates. *waves*

[@chaoscentral5547]

Sand up belt sander for shop to clean up your pins?

[@sn99cobra]

I think there is a deep mud hole over here somewhere.

[@timdemarco5079]

Gotta make a kickstand for that stumper🤣

[@Todd.Roberts]

Looks like the ac on the backhoe was working good lol

[@ramtuff2007]

good video

[@MegaBaldvin]

Thats whats the brakes are for. :)

[@tdimccullough]

I take it the thumb will still work with the stump ripper?

[@russhansen8805]

Chris, how is your Oak tree doing? Does it like it's new home?

[@thomasosullivan5323]

Is that the top soil you got from separated machine?

[@michasleziak1506]

👍
