Always a pleasure to see you operate your machinery. Breakdowns are a given, not if, but when and where. Been watching you for many years. I enjoy the video's as much if not more today than in the beginning. I am a wannabe operator. I'm retired, but just have a very strong desire to operate an excavator. Farmer across the street let me operate his to remove some stumps. He was amazed as I already knew how to get them up and out of the ground. I handed you the credit for that knowledge, watching your video's.

Good evening, Chris loved seeing the motorgrader on the first job, and it did a really good job at that. Sorry about the hose, but they don't last forever. Keeping the machines out of as much sun as possible helps keep the hoses in good shape. Thanks for sharing, Chris, and God bless you. You're the best 👌

Great job great to see the grader on its first job love how you made a exploding sound when explaining how the hose blew love how the motor graders door shut by its self when you backed over the pile the second time i didn’t know you could move your front wheels out on this motor grader I know on your uncle’s you can’t love how the camera made a popping sound glad the motor graders fixed

Makes a difference with more HP and more weight on the motor grader. Looks good. Try shaping your edges with the blade in bank position next time. You can reach out farther and never take the tires off the road. I’ve found it’s easier to keep it uniform. Great job.

As usual, Yanmar and Barney performed flawlessly. The grader seems like a good fit for your operation also, Chris. So glad nothing was catastrophic, just a hose failure. That's expected when you have 50 year old equipment and it sits. The road turned out amazing, and now Geoff will be playing with the side by side in road gear.

Using that grader for finishing up you will enjoy it’s quicker in reverse 1 thing that I have noticed is that you run the steer wheels straight up and down the fellows out here always lean them against the direction they’re rolling the dirt. Maybe they are doing it wrong.

I love watching you operate the grader Chris! It does such a great job on crowning the road! I watch another utube channel and that dude has a big grader and that’s all he does is mountain road grading! He raises that blade almost up at the 90 degree angle and cut the mountain side, building new roads and recutting existing roads! Sometimes it looks like he’s going to rip that grader in half the way he cuts with it! I don’t recall the channel name but I know it’s in another country and I can’t understand a word he’s saying! But I just like watching that dirt or material roll when that blade is cutting! Very interesting! 👌🏻👍🏻👍🏻

If you grade it both directions you will get a better crown in the middle of the road. Common sense, that's what most township grader driver's do and the road won't have water in the middle of the roadway.

One hard lesson taken from this, again, never try and turn around to go back to a familiar airport. Given the rapidness of the fire it maynot have changed the outcome but it brings to mind they would have been able to begin an immediate decent, keeping the speed up and most importantly they might not have had to change controllers or been able to contact the diverting airport. Lots of ifs, and no criticism here. The pure frustration and terror they underwent as the realization sets in your not going to get out of this alive!
