Chris your infinite patience serves you well. Good lesson for all of us.

You make the most interesting videos of the jobs you do, this is exactly what I want to get into. Keep those videos posting Chris.

beautiful NC early morning sky behind the dozer pushing red clay.. good morning Chris and Robert 🤩

[@terryrogers1025]

You’ve had a few set backs on this project, but it’s nothing LD18 can’t handle, at least your dump site for the trash you dug up was close, that helped some. Taking shape, looks good, thanks for the update, enjoyed watching.

[@doritleis2773]

By this Road building, You must much Haul Truck with Earth load and Drive to the Road building Place. Grading with the Dozer and the Roller. Good Work from You and the Helper. 💪👍

[@colinratcliffe2454]

Look at the bright and positive side Chris, the clay pit was real close to where you needed it, no long hauling. Keep your head up Chris. Once you get the 30 ton haul truck fixed it should still be a good buy. God bless you. 😊

[@craigwavra3495]

Kind of like a “what’s your dirt doing in bosses hole”!! It’s always something!! Good recovery!!

Classic movie, Had Boss that required everyone to watch it, even if you had seen it before. Lots of life lessons in there.

[@ryanhoward1013]

Good evening. Chris, it looks like you had a pretty good day except for the surprise in the road. But you, as always, overcame all the logs and stumps. It came out looking great as i know it would. Thanks for the video, Chris. I appreciate everyone you produce for us. God bless you and Robert. Be careful out there, and have a great night.

Happy New Year Chris !!!🎉🎉🎉 2025 is gonna be great.

Thats like wishing some1 happy birthday 1 week before

[@LatitudeSky]

The area around that old dump looks like it's been cleared at least once. You have the younger almost scrub trees on the left/north and the grasses on right side. So it was probably cleared bare 5 to 10 years ago and that's what was buried. The grass is much younger, maybe land they have been bush hogging. But if the land had never been disturbed, you'd have tall trees like the other side.

[@Vickie-Bligh]

Love watching what you do. The art of road building is complicated but you so know what you're doing. Thanks for sharing, Chris. Have a Happy New Year.

[@leolarocque-v5v]

Thanks love the video on Road and you will never know wats in the grown .before you dig .

[@LatitudeSky]

He's joked before the Komatsu engine sounds like it wants to jump out of the hood and take off. They just sound like that. We had a D39PXi almost the same dozer and it sounded the same. Great machine.

Happy New year to you all. 🎉🎉🎉🎉😊👍🇳🇴

[@TopIncredibleMoments-h7v]

what an interesting video! i really loved how you uncovered that old dump site - it adds such a unique history to your new road project. i think it’s fascinating to see what kind of treasures and stories can be found when we dig a little deeper. it definitely makes your road more than just a path; it becomes part of a larger narrative. keep up the great work!

[@BigTader]

Awesome video Chris you and Robert work very efficiently together. ..

[@troystricklin630]

Awesome project bud! Have a work filled new year

[@danneliu]

LoL! This is what I was anticipating would happen when you dig holes and burrow all the stuff from clearing 😅 You guys must have the cheapest diesel and energy over there!!! In Sweden there is nothing left after a clearing, all "trash" is made to wood chipps and sold to the heating plants. No dozers, no mess in the forests. Enjoy the videos and are amazed by the different thoughts on how to do stuff from us in northern Europe

[@harveylong5878]

joys of working on farm property - never know what has been done, what is buried. despite monkey wrench in the plans, road project coming along

[@bishopcorva]

That ridge/trash pit looked to me like it had been a very old windrow of junk pushed up decades prior when the land was originally cleared with the thought of maybe a new subdivision that fell through. Over time, debris and whatnot just accumulated dirt and rotted down, accumulated more dirt to become a hump. Was and still is a fairly common sight to see in grown up tree farms that are near harvest maturity cutting right along the middle. Just a rise of dirt that if it gets dug down into will be a mix of rat nests, rabbit dens and so much decaying tree litter.

[@thomasbrown9047]

Good morning. Love the videos and as always keep up the great work!

[@tylergodfrey2800]

Is anyone else’s OCD kicking in when they see the mud caked on the blade of the Komatsu? I just want to run over there and scrape it all off.

[@dirtfarmer7472]

Yes, I’ve been watching that for awhile, and I know that it doesn’t make any difference to the work.

[@HootakaBJ]

Yes Yes & YES

[@louisgibson730]

You ask about add on sides for your new haul truck you don’t have to look know more all those sides are on Barney is 12 inch c channel welded on all you have to do is get 2 steel c channels and weld them on and paint them

[@tomrogers9467]

The property was a farm. I doubt any farmer has ever disposed of a single piece of machinery, truck, car or trash off site. Park it, burn it, bury it dump it!

[@Lovinflyindrones2022]

Chris needs some of the walkie talkies u sèe at wal mart. It says 20-30 plus miles of range. They don't cost that much either. It would be really neat for him to have

[@gullreefclub]

Why??

[@Lovinflyindrones2022]

@gullreefclub to communicate to his helper what is going on. When he has a helper plus it could help with safety if something did happen and he needed help all kinds of stuff.

[@deannaguin8096]

Hey Chris, You planing on taking another team Back up to the Mountains to help with some more Recovery work? After this weekends Storms I think they can still use more help !!! Saw how you helped that businessman clean up his flooded building and clean a great amount of of his Parking lot and access road ... To me that rates as exactly the kind Great Christian act we need at this moment !!! Cheers to both you and Robert !!

Gonna be a fine road. The hidden things in life always cause a problem. You're the man to fix it right.

[@ronaldheit196]

Nothing like having Murphy show up on a big road job like Chris is on this time on that property. Of course Chris just shrugs it off and Robert and Chris get it to the point it shouldn't become a swamp when it rains.

"Duu Duu Duu Duut, Gloom, despair, and agony on me. Deep dark depression, excessive misery. Were it not for bad luck, I'd have no luck at all. Gloom, despair, and agony on me." This has been a tough job, Chris. With that trash pit, Fred would have had problems dumping the stumps with his tailgate.

Kind of cutting it back you have to create a the valley and then water drainage on each side, which is even more depth make a nice road if you’re gonna make one do it properly.

When are you going to put a thumb on the 350.

Has said he's not going to as it would add too much weight. The object of the 350 is to move as much as possible on every cycle.

Do you absorb this extra digging and hauling or can you bill it to the client?

It’s all on the customer at least I hope so. I’m guessing this is a hourly job not bid work. If it was a bid job they’d have to make an adjustment.

In here said something about a dump site a friend owned business and needed more parking so we filled it in with broken concrete and dirt they sold the business and the new owners tore the building down to put up a new business and had to dig up all the stuff for the site plan they hauled over 50 big dump truck loads of that stuff out of there so cost more money to prepare the site said if knew that might of went somewhere else but invested now so staying

[@kenore4003]

The 350 is right on the edge of the weight limit that Donnie can haul before the floodgates open up on permits and maybe even having to get into a pilot car. A machine the size of a 550 usually goes onto a site for several months. Still it would be interesting to see him leveling out the countryside.

[@Rickimusic]

You have left enough trash for the future excavators, only fitting you get some pay back from the past. lol 😂
