Big D7 Has A Bunch OF Dirt To Push For This Horse Arena

[@johnleonard5323]

Flat,level, and hard packed clay should be a nice base for the arena. Great work as usual. I still love watching how you organize a job and get things done

[@engineer_07-present14]

I bet Clint loves everytime you use the D7. Shows off his machine he built for you and the free advertising with his sticker. Lmao... Great video

[@davidolson7575]

C&C does a nice restore and most importantly a great paint job. Lock great so far

[@user-zr2jr6su8h]

That video on the day it was delivered....awesome..put it to work the same day...Clint had a blast on the 320 with the stumper....Kevin couldn't believe the size of that huge huge tree dropped with the 320. 👍🇺🇲⭐GoTeamLetsDig18⭐🇺🇲👍

[@beozzie690]

Chris, maybe you should just do a in-depth video of Donny and a day in the life of transporting LD’s equipment. The truck, engine and a whole let’s meet Donny!

[@markhewitt7568]

What a great idea 💡

[@dirtfarmer7472]

Yes, I second that idea

[@richardferguson1967]

I was just thinking the same thing as he was loading the dozer. He's a big part of letsdig18.

[@richardhead3211]

i like that

[@genesispuredeaf2390]

It’s an easy video for someone to skip if it’s not of interest.

[@Machines.In.Action]

The D7 dozer is truly a beast when it comes to moving dirt! 💪

[@dirtfarmer7472]

Yes, that’s what it’s for moving dirt & lots of it

[@IR-nq4qv]

its the perfect machine for pushing dirt when you planning to build something for horsing around.., pardon the pun.

[@Mike7478F]

And building runways in a hurry

[@user-vx8du9zp2b]

I've been watching your videos for years. Love all the equipment and you do a great job putting your content together. I'm glad to see how far you have come through the years.

[@craigwavra3495]

Donnie has a sweet truck!! Always looks good with the old iron in it!!

[@jimmyculberson5013]

Cris, you sure do take pride in your work. Keep up with how you are making your customers happy 😊

[@bullittdog4352]

Man Chris I know like that Komatsu but it sure sounds funny on occasion….now that Cat is music to the ears. The OCD of being out of square by one foot on a pad that size and you making adjustments is a testament to your perfectionist mentality!

[@Vickie-Bligh]

Perfect example of why math is important to learn, the Pythagorean Theorem in action. Thanks for sharing that. You & Robert move dirt together really well. That's going to look so nice. Thank you for a great video, Chris. And it was nice to see Mr. Donnie as well.

[@CriticalThinker27]

Multiply any number by 3, 4, and 5 and the sums will measure a perfect 90 degrees.

[@terryrogers1025]

I would say the D7 will earn its keep on this project, has to be nice to just cut loose and push dirt, and having a couple good dozers to work with. Thanks for the video, enjoyed watching.

[@phil10000]

Chris is a good old country boy that know how to work smart and hard Chris is the best on any equipment

[@joebacarella2829]

That D7 dozer is a beast, it sounds great, love the stainless pipe sticking out of the hood.

[@mikehughes3533]

Love watching the D7 at work! What a great machine!

[@maxmacdonald7174]

That D-7 cranks up better than I do in the morning. But I am a decade or two older than it.

[@bobbentley8908]

That D7 nice piece of equipment ,Clint found you a gem

[@als8326]

C&C did a really nice rehab job on that dozer

[@charleswelch249]

I love watching the D6 and D7 pushing dirt. Great video, Chris.

[@rickmueller3817]

Looking forward to New Cabin Update. Hope it’s going well. Be safe and prosper

[@glennspreeman1634]

Finding the 953,D6 and D7 in good -great serviceable condition give you such great flexibility both in jobs you can do and time to hold several jobs ready to go just moving yourself!

[@razorblade220]

Good to see the D7 in action ! :)

[@BeytekinConstructionMachinery]

Thx god you made a full D7 video! Thx Chris!

[@snappingbear]

There are a few companies that make cabs for almost any Cat dozer of any vintage complete with air conditioning and heat. An enclosed cab would make things a little more pleasant especially on hot summer days. It would also help keep bugs out of your teeth and prevent being stung to death by the yellow jackets Chris often disturbs.

[@kirk467]

Awesome music on your Timelapse, Chris! 👍🏻 Love watching the dozers pushin dirt, just think if yall would’ve had the D-7 and the D-6 goin at it! Be two monsters movin some soil, fast! 👌🏻

[@ricktomlin5529]

I love this style of Cat! I first learnt in a similar D6. You certainly get a workout operating one of these.

[@Alfymale]

Time to put the back rippers on the blade to the test Chris - and see wotcha got 😊

[@dirtfarmer7472]

Yes, my thought exactly, don’t waste your time when backing up make the push a little easier.

[@user-wb4tn6hw5t]

Had an uncle in the coal industry. He taught me when running a dozer not to use the steering clutches when turning but to angle the blade right or left. Keeps from messing up the final drives. When you drop the dirt use the steering clutches to position your self for the next push

[@dennisholst4322]

Takes the input shaft out

[@corbinmack5224]

6.25 It just sounds hot!!! Were in Va these past two weeks have been bad. 95+

[@melissareynolds8691]

D7 is the machine! ❤❤❤

I’m beginning to believe that I could live comfortably on what you spent on equipment transportation.

[@heatherlane9270]

Grand old D7 looks great doing what it does best - moving dirt. Love the red dirt too.

[@Control-Alt-Delete619]

I highly advise wearing earplugs when running your D-7. 👍🍻🇺🇲

[@dennis2376]

He was wearing ear plugs. :)

[@dirtfarmer7472]

@@dennis2376 Yes, Chris is no dummy, got to protect the ears

[@lancewilson457]

I love seeing the old iron working

[@stevenlatham4397]

That trailer will pay for itself pretty quickly. Every time you haul the Komatsu dozer now is a time you don’t have to pay for transport. If we couldn’t transport our machines, we’d go bankrupt. Sometimes we have to travel 200+ miles.

[@steveperry2314]

Looks good Chris! I Love to see dirt being moved. I’ll bet you wish you had a ripper before this is over…lol. Thanks for the video….

[@davestuart6593]

Sure do enjoy watching progress

[@mischef18]

Great to see the D7 back in action bro, you and Robert work in well together. Yeah the big dozer sure moves some dirt when moving dirt is called for. Any more than basic maths and I am lost. Safe travels. Ken.

[@travisgundelach4122]

I have a PJ trailer with the 10' hydraulic dovetail and haul a dozer about the same size on it. I hate unloading because of the tracks slipping on the tail. I have discovered that to eliminate the slipping, throw two old tires on the tail where the tracks come down after breaking over the pivot. They land on the tires and stick very well. I haven't had a machine slip on the tires yet.

[@letsdig18]

I throw down a rubber mat and it works pretty good

[@michael_3985]

I love that D7. It fired right up and if it could talk it say let’s get to work pushing some dirt. lol Nice video Chris. Your the best👍👍👍

[@lhr1701]

I just saw a van in the back ground. I didn’t see Amazon on it. So I can surmise that Geoff was sending you, your payment. 😂😂😂

[@dennis2376]

I assumed it was workers on his cottage. :)

[@nicklomax6205]

He must be paying him in fish cause thats a fridge van my dude

[@mbhales]

Nah, Geoff's payments arrive by armored car. ;-)

[@StevenRitchey]

Actually, that would be an armored car.

[@lhr1701]

@@nicklomax6205 yes I did see that unit on the top of the van and it could have been an AC unit . Beside it was a JOKE !

That is a very nice dozer. The paint come out nice on that....

[@jackman6256]

How about all of us letsdig18 Followers Put comment about how Chris got us into his channel Myself I used to work around dirt work with heavy equipment operators as a swamper greaser All around gopher So first time I saw him he was ditching out a swamp an taking out beverdams Which I think is cool Bring back the memories of Chris

[@dirtfarmer7472]

I used to farm & hired dirt work done, then drove a truck for many years.

[@karlmckinnell2635]

I’d imagine Donny has moved a few of those cable shovels back in the day 😊.

[@kiwi_welltraveled4375]

Not being a dozer operator, And watching Chris having to bob from side to side to see the blade. I've always wondered if it would be advantageous to swap the cab and engine around.? So that the engine is at the rear and the driver Is sitting more or less over the top of the blade and has better visibility to see what they're pushing. Leave, Same or Better, Everything Be Kind ☮️🙋🏻‍♂️

[@gethinjones1348]

No messing about on this job with the D7 on the case! 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻

[@beckyumphrey2626]

That D7 is a beautiful machine...

[@arthuroffill8005]

No fair Chris your dozer is bigger than his. Oh well he start soon. It's all even. But I love seeing the D7 work. It's like art work.

[@DavidSmith-zr3nd]

Love the sound of those old CATs

[@feliciacartwright6846]

My grandpa had a cable D9. This reminds of the old days

[@richardclayton4091]

On a project like that it would be awesome to see all 3 of your dozers out there pushing dirt. Just missing the D6.

[@garybouchard827]

So good to see the old D-7 pushing dirt

[@doritleis2773]

The new Order, building a great Horse Arena. A little Challenge. Then You and the D7 Dozer a unity from much big Power. The Result to see in the Video. 💪👌👍

[@robertjwilliams3532]

Amazing how fast that dirt got moved when I sped up my view to 1.75%!!😂

[@dylan8285]

D7 sure lets you know it’s got a turbo can hear that baby screaming. Nothing beats the sound track of these old machines

[@user-dn6ij6lm2g]

Hi Chris your D 7 Cat, sure can push and Love it .🍺🍺🍺

[@Staceymi2001]

Not fast, not fancy, but something so satisfying about pushing dirt with a big old piece of Cat iron.....!

[@Arrm24]

"The Beast".. The old D7 is one of my favourite dozer in your collection. Great video Chris !

[@garymessina1609]

The D7 was a great addition to the fleet between the 350 and the 7 you sure can move so dirt great video thanks Chris and Robert

[@hydraulic-hum]

love watching the dozers pushing the dirt..

[@jdavis4034]

AMAZING WORK AS ALWAys!!

[@4ngu54110tt]

You may have found an excuse to get a ripper attachment for the dozer if your going to be pushing so much hard clay. Cheers Chris.

[@kennethjones3337]

Great work Chris. Have a great weekend. Beat the heat

[@jennyoreilly5980]

They could have had a nice pond with that clay. Imagine, an arena overlooking a pond.

'dressage' arena? These horse farm jobs are always really satisfying jobs to watch for the viewer - and I think you too, if I remember correctly from the last one (where you built a smaller horse thingy here a few of years back?).

All your equipment is in great clean shape you should be proud.

[@zekeharouff6983]

That D7 is a BRUTE of a machine. It baffles me how something so big is so “easy” to control. The steering levers look like they have such a light pull on them to make them work so effectively. Things that make you go “hmm….” Lol.

[@wayneullman5079]

The D7 is my favorite!

[@gwenb4531]

The D7 AND a chicken.

[@williammurfin6354]

The D7 sure does move some dirt but it looks like a good rip to the soil would help out a lot. Yes Like the idea of a day with Donny. Could be interesting to see what he has and what he moves during a typical day.

[@Dan-ud8ob]

Looks like great clay for a pond dam .

[@charliemdpl]

Would be interesting to see the blade rippers in action

But, the Ol' 7 is getting her cut right on down , shouldn't take to long at all to get that one laid on out, looks like ya got a good jump on it already !! Great as Always Chris !!

I will echo what others have said that seven sure could use some rippers.

TweeD7 going off to a job. Kenny Komatsu taking Robert for a ride across the grass - start of a good project. Think about short pieces of orange fiberoptic conduit for marking lines or corners. 100ft x200ft was the size of my parent`s half acre lot where I grew up.

Think that's the 3 4 5 rule mainly to lay out buildings for square, how much can you cut from the high point of the grade before it creates a problem? PS , looks like the high side has a good drop off in the opposite direction which should make things easier

are you also gonna spread the hundreds of tonns of sand and dig the point footers for the horse Arena with the mini ex? have you looked out for a mid sized excavator - the largest you can haul yourself like a Takeuchi TB290 or are you satisfied with the work of the 5 ton mini
