Grading Off The Field

[@scotabot7826]

I know your uncle really appreciates you taking great care of all his machines! He is very lucky to have a nephew like you that treats his machines as if they were his own. That's worth quite a bit right there.

[@Bass2010]

I like the longer videos seeing more of the working being done nice job have a great day and thanks for the video

[@johndowe7003]

i like the machine running vs the vlogs

[@andrewwhiley963]

Dozing is so mesmerising. I can watch this for hours.

[@george8873]

It's very satisfying to see the soil roll off the blade. Also, glad you got the magnetic camera mounts back. Gives interesting angles you normally don't have.

[@cardiackidjones2848]

I too find it mesmerizing to watch that soil roll off that dozer blade......very calming sort of

[@cardiackidjones2848]

I love watching that dirt roll off that blade.......don’t know why....thanks for the video!

[@kirk467]

When I was 16 my boss had me running nights pulling a vibra shank in a 120 acre field and it was a old home place in the middle so there was trash in the middle! I was on a no cab 1370 case dual wheel and it was dry, hot and dusty as hell! I would come to my corners and I would have to let the dust go by or I couldn’t see a dam thing! I was getting closer to the middle of the field and I guess I came a little close to the trash pile! I went all the way around and looked at a freakin ditch, so I stopped and it was a dam old bed spring hung up in all of the teeth! Dam, took me two hours to get it untangled and two hours to straighten up what I screwed up with that dam bed spring! lol I would get off at 7:00 in the morning and I was so dam black from the dust sticking to me!! I had to wear a bandanna so I was spitting up mud! That was the good old days I guess! lol good video brother, you take care my friend!

[@dewainwoodard4840]

Great video Chris thanks for sharing have a great day

[@photocontrol]

The grading work on the field looks great!

[@discountlandscaping7603]

The top of the dozer shots are awesome !

[@FishFind3000]

Just buy the app radarscope. It’s raw radar every minute you will be able to see if the 50% chance rain will actually hit you and how hard. It’s really handy. It helped me out when I was on the roof and some weather started to roll in and I knew if I had to get off or if it was good for a few more minutes to finish. Also gives lighting and tornado

[@scotabot7826]

If I'm on a roof, all I need is my ears, because the first clap of thunder I hear, I'm coming down. Believe it or not, people have been struck and killed by lightning from a storm that's 20 miles away.

[@janvandenbos7085]

Very nice again Chris, grading off the field

[@Neg_Ice]

love the everyday vids

[@waynetharp]

Looking good! Fall plow and will be ready for seed!

[@ArizVern]

Like the videos. You got a good eye or seat of your pants is really grounded to the slop your hill your grading.

[@donaldkennedy5604]

you do good work. you're a pro on all that equipment

[@popsi50]

Sorry about the muck, there in Eastern NC. We had some of the same problems 3 weeks ago. My grass was brown, so I held my mowing guy off for a month. Then the skies opened up for 2 weeks and now, the grass and weeds are going to be high and he might have to go over it twice.

[@justins7900]

Loved this video,. nice job Chris

[@benjamminthomas5850]

The dozer like I think I can I think I think!!! Oh great video and I m so jealous of what you do

[@bradleyatchison9108]

Nice camera work ! Love trim dozing!

[@ianaitken5050]

Would be good to see it all grasses over and fenced, maybe a visit next year for a video

[@crazygsxr1]

Nothing like the pretty look of a fresh glaze look of a dozer blade.

[@juanvalles7022]

Huge fan ! Keep up the good work

[@carrollsanders9376]

Nice rolling the top soil, I have about 30 acres to roll then reset the blade tilt and finish grade.

[@robertrockwell7581]

nice job with the way you filled in the low spots.

[@karlbrohammer9105]

I guess the remaining sticks, etc. would be too rough on ag equip therefore blading after the rake action. looking good!

[@kirk467]

Does that hurt the quality of the soil for farming when you cut the top off as you grade it? Just wondering Chris, you would know more than me on that!

[@jonathandalton5534]

I could watch this all day !! lol

[@joevanassche991]

Nice Grade

[@ChrisD1454]

Cool Vid. Something different seeing a lot of dozer action. I Thought it was nicer weather down there our move is coming up and were having the same weather in pa. LOL

[@kirk467]

Well I guess it would be like land leveling, I spent hours pulling those around the field!

[@shawnfox8002]

I can see the deep valley in there an the dirt is pretty sandy looking as well.

[@half-assedgarage6668]

Shoulda called jpaydirt and borrowed a scraper. Love your videos.

[@larrylittletonjr9644]

That Creek Crossing is just pretty

[@danchretien6801]

Cool vid love your stuff.

[@ConstructionMachinesChannel]

Nicely done. Cool camera angle on the dozer 👍

[@LittellFarms]

Looks Good Love Your Videos How long will it take to drain then big lake job

[@stevencomer3638]

What about the stuff along the edge piled up ?

[@jamesrivis620]

I can see that it is quite the skill and you have to have a good eye. Thanks for the explanation. What does the farmer want to grow, corn ?

[@cullen9017]

Those root rake mounts suck! They put those on a 700 I was in often and it was horrible after they did them that way, it would pull the blade out of the cut or bog it way down

[@oldmanmosh6056]

Great job dozing but I`m not sure pushing the topsoil off exposing the clay in most spots will help produce whatever they`re going to farm.

[@arkansas1336]

Great camera mounting! I agree, dirt is like water, it wants to go downhill and it'll take the path of least resistance! ....13

[@TheRussell747]

arkansas13 that's just common sense physics. Everything that's being affected by gravity will want to go downhill and anything being acted upon will take the path of least resistance

[@1armedguy4]

Nice work Chris, it takes a bit of finesse to actually make certain jobs look decent !

[@jdxtube68]

Great video. Thanks.

[@TheUserid82]

Would it be worth it to put a land plane on the dozers back hydraulics when doing grading work to cut down the high spots and fill in the low spots?

[@johndowe7003]

not really, i think it would be better investing in gps system rather than a land plane

[@phil4543]

What do you use the fields for once graded? Top soil looks well thin in places

[@walterscharff8003]

nice blade work

[@mikebuffing727]

Yeah the camera picked up those vibrations from the worn undercarriage. How many hours does it have now? Are doing a full undercarriage (sprockets, rollers, guides,etc)?

[@MrFrankturbo1]

love that dozer !!

[@johnc.pepper5358]

I prefer the good shot of all the different angle you did

[@prevost8686]

I’m in Randolph County. Do you work that far from home?

[@letsdig18]

I have but that's getting a little far, what do you have?

[@letsdig18]

send me a email with your contact info and address, Ill look it up and see how far away it is. [e-mail] thanks!

[@johnleake708]

Does that dozer have a computer controlled blade height system or something like that?

[@letsdig18]

no lol all by eye and feel

[@a.krueger6486]

I caught u snitchen dirt to finish out the far side. Love dirt work, but alas, I'm a lowly carpenter. a(a) + b(b) = c(c).

[@briangardiner1015]

That has been a good dozer for you guys, so it isn't hydrostatic drive?

[@jameslecompte5100]

Chris, is this a good way for someone new to learn the basics of how the dozer works and how to push dirt. If i am correct, you are not cutting and filling to a precise measurement, just cutting the top layer of junk out like you said

[@briangardiner1015]

He was taking the top off to make the outside not fall away so bad so the farmer could use it.

[@jameslecompte5100]

Brian Gardiner thanks! Not to a specific number, right?

[@williamgreazel8715]

James Le Compte A

[@RRRIBEYE]

Hey Chris! Did you find your magnet mount?! Or did'jya make ya a new one? ;-)

[@george8873]

Mike .R. Volvo found them in one of their machines and overnighted them back to him.

[@steveadams99708]

Nice work. How long you been grading?

[@oddballfactor4307]

Helped put blade bushings in that one I believe :)

[@letsdig18]

At linder? Then yes haha

[@oddballfactor4307]

letsdig18 yes sir

[@brianbanks3882]

Nice job. Nothing harder than going against the compaction of tracks and keep a grade. You make er look easy yet I know it’s not.

[@Meb85Gaming]

Great video 😀

[@leol1682]

Like the video and Dozer too .

[@darrellhwy1]

Can you take some video with the drone? Thanks

[@Lowcountrydave]

Curious and wondering Chris... what's more efficient a grader vs dozer when grading a field?

[@Big_John_C]

Since the grade isn't critical the dozer is more cost efficient, graders are expensive to haul around (oversized load permits) and such.

[@Mrbink01]

Bigger excavator...check. Now it's time to add another dozer to the fleet.

[@ut000bs]

A view straight down the dozer blade. That has to be a KZbin first. LOL! :)

[@cameronward7137]

Do u laser everything for water drainage or do u eyeball it?

[@rajbeekie7124]

I am 100% confident he uses a laser.

[@waynetharp]

I am 100% confident he is doing it by sight only!😀

[@letsdig18]

no laser all by eye and feel

[@davidclitheroe4532]

What happened to the big lake you started to drain?

[@letsdig18]

still draining

[@albertusmostert5418]

Do you use gps or how do you do how deep to grade (ground level or abit deeper

[@letsdig18]

grade by eye

[@briangardiner1015]

Did you try the Volvo track skid steers? How did you like it?

[@dwightjones5826]

Replace sprockets and turn pens or replace the pens and you got it

[@Simonsimps]

Looks like the mag mounts back again.

[@george8873]

Simon people at Volvo found them in one of their machines and overnighted them back to him, lol.

[@Simonsimps]

That's very nice of them. Cheers for the reply.

[@daddio7249]

Someone must have a pot of money, dozier hours are expensive. A four wheel drive tractor with a leveling blade would be much cheaper to run and you can go faster. Yes, I have thousands of hours doing that. If you are are contouring you use a construction laser and program in the contours. With GPS input you just drive around and the blade goes up and down putting dirt where it is needed. It is endlessly entertaining watching the blade drop dirt in the low places all by itself. There are GPS units that use a differential signal from a ground sending unit you set up to do both height and distance. They can be plumbed into a dozier blade if you need the extra push. You might look into that if you are doing a lot of this type of work.

[@hillbillydualsport]

Are you running GPS?

[@killzu7386]

Same thing with the weather here in Ohio 2

[@jamesmoreland3422]

Just give jaypaydirt a call, he will come over and give your dozer a quick overhaul.He might even like working on such a small dozer:)

[@kb7722]

That farmer will regret piling everything on the perimeter. In a years time it will be covered in hedge. Hope he keeps the spray on it bc he can't bush hog it.

[@johndowe7003]

i kinda like having a hedge like tht

[@craiga657]

you'll have to upgrade to a D12 before long.

[@MrHowieZ1973]

Why would the farmer want all that good dirt dragged down like that ? Can you not grow in that topsoil you just cut off ?

[@letsdig18]

filling in the sloped area so all the land can be used

[@taterhater2086]

Idaho is on fire so we could use your rain lol.

[@jonschneck4559]

mother nature hates me this summer also

[@eddiekilby]

It would be hammer up on a dozer wouldn't it?

[@davidmerryman5565]

I have a heart problem and you about gave me a heart attack when you had the camra on top of the blade. Could you gave us a little heads up next time lol. Keep up the good work and great placement of the camra

[@jm219723]

Car sick at 21.00. Strange.

[@cadeterrito8819]

I wonder why Volvo doesn't make a bulldozer ?

[@codyrowlett7620]

What's your thoughts on komatsu equip? We have several hoes and 2 dozes and live them!

[@letsdig18]

I love this dozer

[@danhaskett455]

I used to have a D4H them little dozer’s are awesome!

[@911lineman911]

Keep on jamming man !

[@jessekoch3480]

You dont have a grader?

[@robfraley4210]

Everybody “Thinks” they are Good, r that they “Know a Guy” that’s better than you are 😱 But at Least You have Video to Prove it...!! 😎👍✅

[@daneclark3161]

There is a 90% chance that the weatherman is wrong.

[@howardbardsley1705]

And you believe the weather reports?

[@Inspirationalai1]

I see a dodge challenger with a lighter in your future.

[@johnm.evangelis693]

You should have brought down the grader also would make the job much faster

[@briangardiner1015]

The dozer can move more then a small grader like they have, besides the dozer was already there. Now a larger grader would have worked fine, but they would have still had to bring it in.

[@brianbanks3882]

Says a guy who’s probably never moved an ounce of dirt in his life. Wet clay with a grader. Hell of an idea

[@johndowe7003]

lol

[@johndowe7003]

that shit cost money to move, if you already have a machine that can do the job why bring in another

[@taxiforcraig]

It's better when ur in ur digger

[@tirbomax]

Rick James waz up n hur

[@alvinguy567]

Bad azz dozer! Bad as a operator!

[@thederrick1966]

like this video what bulldozer is that

[@ambermaloney8128]

Wow. Way to destroy productive farm land by chris. So by removing topsoil and exposing subsoil and mixing subsoil with remaining topsoil is the key to rehabilitating farmland? How about next time hook a field cultivator to a tractor and pull that across.

[@waynetharp]

It will never be productive for anything if it isnt graded to drain and flat enough to run equipment safely on! A field cultivator will level ground but not grade it.

[@letsdig18]

farmers happy so Im happy

[@waynetharp]

@@letsdig18 Exactly!!!

[@ambermaloney8128]

Lay of the land looks perfectly fine to me for operating farm equipment on. Looks like some nice gentle slopes. It may surprise you to know that not all farmland is perfectly flat. Try that stunt on my farm and you would be kicking rocks down the road.

[@waynetharp]

@@ambermaloney8128 Go to the 25 minute segment of video and he explains why. And he isn't finished yet...
