Finding time to work for yourself is always a problem. That said, there is no more rewarding feeling that seeing your own ground improved and looking at the finished project. Thanks for taking us along Chris. Enjoy life and put your feet up once in while.

[@brianbabb6666]

It's difficult because they guy doesn't pay well.

[@pjs5191]

They always say the landscapers new mulch is put down last or at least that’s what I say.

[@johnthompson9625]

My operator back in the 80's, would dig the roots and use the side of the bucket to push the trees over. That was with a new 955 or 977 at the time. Things were crazy powerful in counter rotation. Great to see someone else that knows how to keep their equipment in good shape. Keep up the good work Chris.

[@jwdickinson643]

I think Chris really bought the new property just so he could play on his toys. 🤣🤣👍👍👊👊

[@lanecazes]

Hey Chris, if that part of the field stays wet year round, I know a guy that knows a guy, who knows a guy who just built a new tile plow!

[@robertironside3166]

Way better with the jaws this week than last Sir. Thanks for the beeper removal as my dog runs out of the room first sign of any equipment beeper [they work fantastic on him]. lol

[@tomadelsberger6101]

Looks great what you have done so far glad to see you getting some helpers lately Keep up the great videos Always a joy to watch

[@garymessina1609]

Enjoying every minute of what you're doing to the new farm great video thanks Chris

[@maxmacdonald7174]

The way Chris like to build burn piles he may need 100 yards or better to the nearest tree he wants to keep. 80-foot flames tend to put out a lot of heat. I do like watching them.

[@danielashford2430]

That loader really is a beast…

[@craigwavra3495]

Coming along nicely!! Soon you will have the area cleared the way you want it !!

[@julianearl5026]

That gear shift fix sounds like reverse engineering. I am learning from you that being a good operator is as much about track placement as it is about where the blade/bucket is. 👍👍👍

[@dtraywick27]

Looking good. My old boss showed me on those pines, is to come in low and soon as your bucket hits, lift up and it will pop the tap root. That older fella down in Florida does same except with a D5

[@DMAN10]

At least it’s a “one and done” project! You gained back a lot of usable real estate in a short time. Any future fence lines should be easy manageable with the mini-mulcher. Thanks for sharing Chris!

[@PhotoArtBrussels]

Chris, with welding some teeth on the side of the loader bucket, it will help to grab and lift things. Small upgrade, big advantage in operation.

[@donnaflanagan6612]

Glad you got some time to work on your new farm. Take care & cheers🐨🦘🥰

[@andylarner3531]

I’m glad you got at least a little time to spend on your own property

[@donnamullins2089]

Looking good. A lot of work in a short time.

[@stevengullison5123]

Good afternoon Chris, take time to do what you want. I will be 65 in April and people don't care as long as they get their stuff done, lol.Time around here anyway. Thank you for taking the time to video. Steve from N.B Canada

The new property Is looking good, how's Betty doing, hope yall have a great rest of the week and weekend

It's looking great Chris, gonna be beautiful when you get done!

What a fine piece of equipment.

Looking great it's getting there

[@johnblecker4206]

Glad to see that your working on your own farm again which must be hard to do with your daily jobs enjoy your work. Now that Cat is one bad ass machine for getting the job done.

[@snappingbear]

I hope you leave a few for big Betty to knock down. I love to see the difference between your loaders.

[@philipfleming3546]

Coming right along.

[@patrickgermain3278]

Looking better every time your there Chris!!

[@KHWindham]

Thanks for uploading the video. The thought that had kept running through the mind about that track loader is you have made it a hobby machine for the new farm. It's a dang hard working hobby machine😜 The other comment I would like to make comes from 30 years in the Navy. I love watching teamwork.

[@patrickgermain3278]

Looking better every time you’re out there Chris!!

[@terryrogers1025]

I just saw a new approach by you on a tree take down. You were going after a 2 fer at the 20:13 mark, you pushed high to start them and then backed off and it looked like you put bucket under the loose root ball of one at a time and lifted to lay the tree down. Never witnessed you doing that before, but it certainly worked. I like the 953, nice machine. Thanks for the ride along sir, nice job.

[@creativengineering]

That 953 is a versatile piece of equipment!

[@mischef18]

Even just chipping away at jobs around the farm will work out well in the end bro. So far the track loader seams to be fitting in well too. Safe travels

[@dirkkelly9596]

Looking good 👍

[@HootakaBJ]

So glad the 953 is working FOR you and you are not having to work ON IT!! Still thinking VOLVO should drop off a 200 for you to play on!! Maybe go talk Link Belt…get some Grey n Red on the farm again….

[@stephenhoran7597]

Good team work keep hold of your mate

[@ogreatmaster8334]

Need to maybe think about selling Betty [ GASP !!!! ] and look around for a huge old thumb'd excavator in passable shape to keep around the farm. Sometimes the big ones are more reasonable than the 220 size you have now.

[@pinwizz69]

WOW, new record for me, four first likes on Letsdig18 and 1 on Beally Goid channel on the same day. I think I'll buy a Mega Millions ticket. I love a good Chris video no matter what he's doing. Always fascinating.

[@petenolte4192]

I'll be your long lost cousin if you win 😆 🤣 😂

[@greggardner2823]

All your good luck wasted on videos, LOL

[@tedohio3038]

That 4 in 1 bucket is really a great addition to the loader.

[@scotabot7826]

With a bunch of time and practice it will come!

[@tomswindler64]

Always nice to see you working on the new farm,I see you have Robert working with you,he is your little brother right.all your last few purchases of equipment seems to working out for you,now that you have most of the bugs worked out.I’m happy to see your dream coming to being a reality,slowly but surely.keep on keeping on 👍👍👍😎😎😎

Great video 👍 👍

[@leonardparker1103]

Looking good Chris! Glad you had the pig weeds sprayed.... don't need those in your new pasture.

[@rccalhoun]

with that clam, you can cut grade within an inch. and with the teeth, you can rake out rocks, concrete chunks or roots by driving forward and skimming the ground---i open the clam slightly while raking to see whats ahead. of course, if the teeth come off the ground or dig in---you have to back up....but its possible to rake very fast and keep those teeth skimming going forward. with practice you can rake up a very clean pile. you have the touch, you'll be able to do that. (some guys cant do it, they dont have the discipline to stay that focused or the touch to keep the teeth skimming)

[@johnhoffman4785]

It’s coming along.

[@buds.8645]

If you’ve ever seen John Wayne’s movie McClintock it’s easy to imagine Casa de Chris being something like that. Now if you just add a log cabin chicken coop you will really be putting a dream place together. Super job!

[@joevandendries]

Really like your videos. Your land looking good.slow but surely. Wish I live close by would make a deal on some of your trees

[@lindavanvalkenburg2478]

Really enjoy your videos. I know you take excellent care of your equipment. That dozer sounds like a WWII German tank! LOL! Keep up the much appreciated videos.

[@jamesconner8275]

Progress, progress, progress!!!

[@joeyannas7828]

New addition clean up is coming along nicely sir !! Would be nice if you could swap some logs for treated fence post !! LOL

[@bitspieces3885]

Chris to save the valuable tree trunks. Maybe work out a way to easily attach and unattach two or three old truck or tractor tires to the leading edge of the bucket to act kind of like boat bumpers is the idea. Cheap but effective. Eh?

[@rustysteel8714]

Your PERSONAL time looks a lot like your WORK time, Chris.....but I'll bet THIS is MUCH more FUN! 👍😉 TIMBERRR!

[@adidasjesus41-31]

Hey Chris. Check out Greg Judy regenerative farmer. If your using the land for livestock? He has an amazing way of keeping his pastures ready. Really cool. Def worth a look. I think.

[@jamesdiehl8690]

Yay Betty!

That's a roller switch, they can and do often bind when they get old and or dirt gets inside the mechanism

Now that's Funny, you were all worried about disconnecting that Back Up Beeper, so in the Future you could put it back in to Operation easily, and that was Blocking the Shift for Reverse....So now INOP is Much Better!

Good job you put an upload out Chris lol👍🏻

[@danielelwell2571]

Nice to have big toys lol.

As always I enjoy your videos, question though, wouldn't pushing the trees tops first into the brush piles break them off? Leaving something easier to work?

@letsdig18 4 n 1 loader bucket? that's pretty sick

[@Justalittleoutoftown]

To bad you sold the Hitachi. That would have been a good machine to keep at the farm for clearing

[@markpashia7067]

Back in the day those skinny pines would be cut up and stacked out of the way on runners to age a little then be used for gate and corner posts on fencing. but then we could not afford fancy fence companies to come string our wire and posts and had to do it on lowest possible budget. I remember using two inch pine posts in the middle cause metal T posts were too expensive back then. Yeah, they rotted out after some years but maybe by then we could upgrade to T posts. I just hope we do not get back to when that was the only way to do things because of the economy overall. Looking good Chris.

[@paulprigge1209]

Pine post Midwest and up north will not last even treated. Need Osage orange post

[@imchris5000]

the older farms around here all have or had osage orange tree groves just for making fence post

@@imchris5000 I cut in put in a lot of hedge. Really good fence last 60 years where is maybe 1520 with pine But we have moisture here

[@henrydillard6217]

Locust makes excellent posts.

[@larrywitthar8066]

@@paulprigge1209 We have a place in SW Oklahoma that has an old growth of Osage Orange (Bodark). They were planted in the '30s for erosion control, I'm sure. They are mature and the wind is bringing a lot of limbs and trees down. Is there anything we can use them for or just burn 'em?

[@misty4782]

Hi there, I have a Question: how do you know just how far down to put the bucket, when you're going to push something, and not plow up soil, too? I've watched so closely and just can't figure it out. Just love watching your channel. God bless.

[@ramtuff2007]

good video

[@Jammer.1]

@LetsDig18 What did you use to kill the pigweed ? I'm up top indiana and its going crazy i sprayed weed killer on it & a few weeks later it's back twice as bad ! I was looking the weed up there is like 4 or 5 types some will grow like a tree 6-8 feet high others spread out like a spider web on the ground & thats what grows up here !

[@stanleymartin1613]

Logs for cabins,nice. Seems like pushing those trees from the root ball would break some branches off. Or maybe run the bucket down each side to break off branches. Arm chair clearing 😁

[@ziggyedison2409]

Hi Chris - I would advise that you reinstate the reverse warning system... if you don't want the sounder you can fit some reversing lights, plus you could get a sounder with a volume control so it is just audible? Avoidable accidents are just that!

At least you won't be stumping every day for weeks! 😀😃🙂🙃😊
