Cutting In A New Driveway For A New House

[@billbergquist4722]

Just purchased a Bobcat E26, first time running an excavator. I knew you were good but I now know how really good you are! Off to practice, I'll watch the rest tonight.

[@Namaste3004]

Good evening! Hope you're all fine. ☺️ Great video! Nice weather and no mud there. Perfect! I'm looking forward to the result. 😎👍 Congratulations on 444,000 subscribers! 🍾

I am a retired master plumber with over 41 years in the trade, mostly in new construction and a plumbing inspector for another 13 years and I love watching experts in their trade. Chris, I've never seen anyone operate equipment like you. You are an absolute wizard! I really look forward to your new videos. When you run the Myanmar, I like it when you use the blade on it. Why don't larger machines come with them?

[@stevepettit5114]

Love to see your work. Drives me crazy when you miss a day of posting! Keep up the great work!

Jeez! the poor guy needs A day off. Always makes me excited when you post another video, despite the various issues that challenge your day there is always a Cool head and positive attitude, no drama. Thanks.

[@hollowpointdaze7363]

I just started watching your videos, after a long work week I come home and look for you. It is soo relaxing just to watch you handle those Machines and listen to them work, it’s like therapy for me I totally enjoy it

Best video I’ve watched so far for culvert installation and clearing. You’re by far the best operator I’ve seen. I’m about to rent the equipment to do this myself on a property I just bought. Thank you for good content

[@assassinlexx1993]

Those trees are so small i can't hear that wonderful sound of snapping trees. You sure don't need the 250 .The speed of you putting in the driveway is very impressive.

[@andymanaus1077]

My heart was in my mouth when you unloaded those concrete pipes with the bucket. NOT recommended for rookies but you made it look easy as usual.

Hey what’s up

[@davidclaudy4822]

I hope the owner gets a good builder. I work in homes likes these in Montgomery Co, MD. We call them McMansions. Lots of flash and very showy, but the quality is not quite up to snuff. I make my living coming behind the builders after a few years and start fixing and re-doing parts of the house to the owners preference. It’s a good living, but when you spend money like that, you should get premium quality up front. I love these videos of the dirt work. I gave up the dirt work for interior work in 2005. , maybe someday I’ll get a skid steer again. Lots of fun. Keep the videos coming Chris. 👍🏻👍🏻

I recently got a 12.5K lbs mini and from watching your videos it made if easy digging a large hole getting a fire going then burning taken down trees, vines and limbs. Got two huge piles done yesterday one more to go on my property for now. Your videos are really helpful to guys like me that don't know shit or any tips or process. Thanks man.

[@lorrieannesilvey474]

Looks like a great area. Yes, removing all trees may seem crazy to some people.....but I know for a fact it is best for home owner. Once you know where all your underground utilities are it will be easier to plan future tree planting so as to not interfere with underground utilities. Beautiful and functional.

[@happy_dad4211]

Plus it’s not like it’s a natural setting. Looks like tree plantation land being developed. There wouldn’t be any specimen trees coming out of that lot.

Thay 42" bucket still looks massive when Chris stands by it even though it's smaller than the 220s bucket. Anyway, was reading comments on old videos of Chris's and he said he's been operating heavy equipment since he was 12 years old in a comment. I think that explains why he's the great operator he is these days, eh?
