Busting The Pond Dam And Clearing The Island

[@seekinfindin5669]

The transformation of the pastures and the pond has been astonishing. Your customer is fortunate to have hired the BEST in the business. It's a great job Chris.

[@maxmacdonald7174]

How a responsible contractor lowers the pond level. Many small projects completed for a full day of work.

[@curtdawe]

How does a young buck like Chris manage to do everything so darn meticulously? Fabulously insightful and reasoned!

[@DacDac-w7r]

Chris is the best at pond work, he knows very well what needs to be done.

[@jimmyculberson5013]

Chris you are so good at narrating your videos that's why I think that everyone enjoys watching you 😊. Keep up the good work and keep safe

[@randyc4959]

If you think electric fence wire is bad, try getting a set of old bed springs tangled up in your tracks. Being spring steel, most wire cutting pliars won't touch them. Hammer and a good chisel might. However it's done, it must be cleared away, or you risk tearing out every seal in the final drives. Even less fun to replace those.

[@philipfleming3546]

Great video, pond, and pastures look amazing .

[@benjaminbeamon877]

Hey Chris if you get a chance we would love to see the progress on the big pond you did recently behind the big shop building. That was a very impressive dam

[@craigwavra3495]

Amazed at the hard bottom of the pond!! Beats sinking!! Liked the idea you had on the drainage ditch!! Smart idea !!

[@glennspreeman1634]

Those brush piles oughta burn hot and fast!! Nice plan on the pond drain down!

[@Vickie-Bligh]

Love watching you work. This was great, Chris. Thanks for sharing.

[@FatKidBrody]

Chris i want to thank you for this channel and you sharing your knowledge and skills with us. I'm far from calling myself an operator. I've operated minis and backhoes to replace water and sewer lines or repair them. I live vicariously through you. That little kid in me says yes this is cool. I've learned a lot from you.

[@petewatson4353]

A lot of cowboys would just have carved it up and damn the consequences, nice and thoughtful approach. Good job.

[@randycharest4507]

😮 I ENJOYED WATCHING THE VIDEO CHRIS ❤

[@tomrogers9467]

I expect we’d all love to see his old dragline once again clearing ponds, but I doubt Chris would want to work the old beast that hard. Not to mention how tiring the old machines were to operate!

[@haroldhawkins9370]

If anyone ever wants pond work done,Chris you're the man. Nice video Chris.

[@edholst1992]

I love the time lapse at the end. Please include more time lapse good job.

[@fsj197811]

Really liked the time lapse. Thanks for sharing.

[@casualobserver3702]

Digging that drain ditch in the dam is a great demo of the incredible productivity your machine allows you to have.

[@MichaelBrown-qn9hi]

I'm really enjoying watching this series. The time lapse really adds a different perspective to your work.

[@ipaddlemyowncanoe.7441]

Yeah that pond's turning out real nice wasn't much left of that island when she pulled everything off it. Good stuff. 👍👍🙂🇨🇦

[@michael_3985]

I like how you filtered the pond water. 👍👍

[@briand.3552]

Those are going to be some “TINY” LD18 fires!!!😂😂😂 It is going to be an interesting video for sure!!

[@AdamsAdams-fc1ld]

I can’t wait to see the fire

[@rondastump8930]

So enjoying this pond rehab! Beautiful scenery. U r so knowledgeable, owner blessed to have u. God's blessings and be safe.

[@hazeljustice307]

As always chis you have made this place looks absolutely amazing you are the best out there doing it all the little details you put in your work means alot can't wait to see what you do next at the bealy good farm

[@huggy1712]

Hi Chris wife and I like this pond can’t wait to see when it’s all done awesome job

[@melissareynolds8691]

Beautiful piece of property ❤❤❤

[@meganm1904]

Tell him to plant mint on the island 😂 That stuff will never allow another plant to grow on it!! And it would smell amaizng!

[@Todd.Roberts]

Nice little quick clearing project. Looks like you had a good crop of hay .

[@chrissmith513]

Another fine project Chris 😊😊😊

[@scottvaughn8434]

Very cool pond good work

[@scrappy7571]

Looking so much better.

[@rangercwgbear6352]

Great work Chris I’d love to come see some of your work in person I’ve been watching your channel for as many years and it’s amazing love your work

[@jonathanzellner906]

I liked the island with the trees, I’m sure it will still look awesome when it’s done though

[@MySORRELL]

THANKS!

[@kevinfrerichs8589]

You should have taken a drone shot of the 220 setting on the island that would have been cool. Pond looking a lot better.

[@markburch7967]

Cool seeing how to see the grade control👍

[@donbraden8533]

Looking good makes that property look much bigger nice job Chris👍👍😎

[@bille294]

One benefit of swimming with the excavator, you don't need to dig off the mud from the undercarriage or tracks. Win-win!

[@donnamullins2089]

Do you know who built the pond? Good job with the pond draining. Island clearing was a snap. Good place to give the Volvo a little rinse off. Great job today. Thanks Chris. Have a good evening.

[@randycharest4507]

I ENJOYED WATCHING THE VIDEO CHRIS 😊

[@Bearsgypsy1]

🇮🇪☘️☘️🇺🇸 oh I have missed the rhythmic content humming of your machines & your equally calm energy explaining precision pond creation. Back in the South land of gentle genteel patient men Praise the Lord & Pass the Ammo ☘️🇮🇪🇺🇸

[@jgreitz]

I don't know if it's my imagination, but when you're moving the se.i green brush, it seems to be much heavier per grapple grab listening to the motor. Love your precision and care. True talent.

[@davidcarberry3547]

nice office you have there a little dusty at times some mud here n there , blue sky trees water and no-one in sight , nice

[@bosshogg3548]

Job well done 👍🏻

[@bobbentley8908]

Great job on draining the pond sure is going to be pretty to look at.

[@keithdunlap2701]

Well, Ya got the Tracks Nice and Clean , it looked like !! lololol.... Man, that pond looks so much better now, I know your going to have a couple Hella Fires !! lololol... Great as always Chris !! Have a Great Evening, And, On too the Next !!

[@rickster366]

Great skills can create masterpieces and you do it over and over my friend. Lookin great Chris!!

[@thomasleonard1846]

LetsDig18!

[@pamelabowling7959]

Yeah the trees are gone needs to just take out the little island all together it’s too small everything looks great thank you for sharing 😊

[@marcushouze6880]

Build the land up with some crush concrete would look pretty nice 👌🏾

[@74_Green]

31:20 If they do decide to have a little island it might be a good idea to have a little bridge "feature" with a large round pergola on it...

[@randycharest4507]

I ENJOYED WATCHING THE VIDEO CHRIS ❤

[@lukefuller4532]

Nice job love watching your days at work

[@mickbaker2483]

Hi Chris the pond is coming alone nicely your doing another great job and making thing's look fantastic, just watch out for the snacks the damn things bit theres no wonder you love your aircon so you can keep the doors shut, thank's for another great video Chris.

[@mtyhntr49]

Totally awesome. Utah waving hi 👋 You made short work of all that. Impressive. Be safe 😊

[@JD-zm4eh]

Nice work looking great Chris.

[@pauldillinger2286]

Thatss going to be another nice pond. Do you ever go fishing in some of the ponds you build?

[@StevieG21]

Awesome - do you have a similarly in-depth video on all your pine tree styles?

[@leolarocque-h4e]

Love this video Chris It was a very good one .👍👍👍

[@rhacker3058]

Hey Chris, You And Yours Stay "DRY AND SAFE" From The Hurricane In The Next Few Days!!! Now I've Always Wanted To Know, When You Go To Break A Dam, Does The Little Boy In You Ever Come Out And Just Blast Through The Thing, And Come What May?? I Tell You, I Wouldn't Be Able To Show The Control You Do!!! LOL Later Brother!! P.S. Stack That "BURN PILE" As High As You Can, We Haven't Seen A "HUGE" Letsdig18 Fire In A While!!!

[@ronaldharmon9891]

DAMN that DAM😂

[@hydraulic-hum]

I can see some great 🔥🔥 soon.. job is coming along great ..

[@jbbrown7907]

I enjoyed watching you clear off the island.

[@ronaldheit196]

The area around the pond and beyond is really looking nice. Once grass grows in to feed the property owner's cattle it's going to look beautiful. He'll be able to increase the size of his herd.

[@upshift2690]

You have the best job ever. This is literally all i want t o do is operate some awesome machines. Best part of the military was being able to operate some of them as i would have never had the opportunity in the “REAL” world lol.

[@rodfair5698]

Don’t know why Chris, but I lost you for a bit. Back in hospital so I can catch up. Great to see you again.

[@nigelhales874]

Pond site looking amazing

[@speedster9622]

The teeth on your rake need to be 3 times longer. That way the dirt can migrate under the horizontal bar supporting the teeth instead of rolling up the soil with the debris. The horizontal bar and the dozer blade are riding way too close to the surface.

[@leslieb.1907]

Got love time lapse! 🥳

[@charleswelch249]

Looks amazing Chris.

[@TheRealMrDiGG]

I wanna be like you when I grow up!!!

[@Todd.Roberts]

Looking better everyday

[@Michael-nu1py]

You got that place looking good

[@harrykeel8557]

The pond is looking much better. I agree with you, on the fact islands are pretty until the weeds and the trees take over then it's a pain.

[@kiddalingur]

Well Cant wait to see the progress in coming days

[@larrymills8527]

That was one way to wash the tracks .

[@mischef18]

Enjoyed this video bro. Safe travels. Ken.

[@christopherleblanc9599]

love the rip rap drain , great discharge quality meet ,

[@FRANKBURNSONE]

Dig it!

[@kayenicholls5473]

First time in a while good morning everyone I hope you all enjoy your day ❤❤❤❤😂😂😂😂😂❤

[@Della-ih5hj]

That was a lot of different things that you did,..was interesting to watch,..

[@dennismalcolm6620]

CHRIS BUILDS PONDS !!!...AND CHRIS EMPTIES PONDS!!!....😮😊...

[@davidcotton501]

Chris... the pond pirate but instead of a ship he has an excavator 😂

[@bobferranti5222]

Chris, this pond is shallow enough to push the mud up to the banks with the D6 lol.

[@martymclamb5750]

All ready looking great. What’s the depth of this pond ?

[@chriscorrigan7420]

G'day Chris. Yesterday after watching your show one of your older ones popped up and I watched that again but it was the one where you and Kyle checked out a job. Behind the scenes you called it. Just wondering if you did that one because I haven't seen it if you did and it would be a good one. Doin' a good job mate. Catch ya'.

[@maineman11]

If I had your property, I would offer to buy the smallest grain silo that was at that job site. That would be a cool thing to see every day as a lawn ornament. Plus you cows, so it would complete the scenery. Just saying. 👍🏻

[@RamonaDavis-ej6zw]

Thanks for the video! Always look forward to them. Hope you do a video of the burn piles on fire. Do you bring hot dogs and marshmallows to the burns? Or are they too hot for that?

[@robmatthews7972]

The Pond Master back to doing pond work. 220 didn`t swim too deep.

[@dennis2376]

Thank you and have a great day.

[@saneisall1067]

If I have the means in the future, you'll be my number 1 pick for doing land clearing on my property.

[@ronthacker211]

Time lapse, really cool

[@rustyfan89]

the amount of material that bucket holds is crazy

[@bryanraymond8602]

Feel like when you light that brush pile your gonna evaporate that water table down 😂

[@jackman6256]

Really like to watch you operate In you're element Ponds an clearing seams to be the dirt work You like best an oh yes building Roads dam good roads also an like way you always say let's do this or that makes some of us old Dirt workers feel part of the job

[@beckyumphrey2626]

Had no idea Nutria were in the Carolina area. We have our share of them in Louisiana. They will sure do.some.damage. Good eating for.sure. :)

[@jasoncampbell5518]

Its ok Chris . Everyone thinks up reasons to drive Into the pond to avoid shoveling the track . 😂 Could you put in a small path to get to the island ?

[@briantruslow8805]

Hey Chris Would you do a short video on how to use the grade level to dig a ditch from one level to another? I have to put a drain tile in from my back yard to the front and I don’t know how to set a laser level.

[@mikeembrey9176]

Nice days work👍🏻🇺🇲

[@jackman6256]

Chris what do you think of those Mrico excavators they are flooding market with now day They kinda look like do really lite work small trees an brush things
