I don't understand why more viewer don't click on the LIKE button. Chris works hard every day giving you the best camera angles, and it takes time from his job to do so. Then, after work, he goes home and has to take the time to edit this video for your entertainment. Please, spend a second to click on the Like button. It DOES help his channel grow, and gets more viewers for him. Thank you SO much!!! Thank you Chris for making your videos for us all to appreciate.

[@bruceengle6245]

Agreed!

[@wolphin732]

The issue I have is the video just ends... no departing message... so sometimes I forget/miss hitting like... and before I know it, I'm into a different video.

[@shanebiggers8437]

⁠​⁠@@wolphin732 I said that in the past before and got chewed out by people 😂

[@warrendemars]

@@wolphin732outros are recommended but that requires editing and editor software, but given Chris' continuous work projects with filming, he probably just ties them together and pushes the render and upload button. [Over simplified but you get the idea.] While I'd love to see an outro, I do like the flow of videos to watch.

[@yenerm114]

I agree.. ppl that watch his videos obviously like the video or they wouldn’t keep coming back, n clicking a 👍🏻 is something very simple and easy to help a good guy out, since he takes the time n effort to make videos for us to watch

[@jafo9346]

I always enjoyed the videos that you did with your uncle John - from major pond builds and repairs to demo projects. Hope you two can find the time to do more of the same.

[@Vickie-Bligh]

Love watching you build roads. Those roads are going to be there forever. Thanks for sharing, hope John has a wonderful time.

[@highkicker11]

no when humans would end those roads over time will disappear as well. now it will take a long time with how well they are made but its gravel and it will be faster then well made concrete and asphalt but sadly they will disappear

[@dump_truckvlog]

Wonderful

[@aday1637]

Chris I've watched you for years. I began watching when you were working with your uncle and the saw mill. And I always enjoyed those video projects where you clean silt out of existing ponds. Watching you maneuver gobs of muck without becoming part of the muck yourself is always a treat. Wishing you a long and healthy career.

[@reganmorben9248]

Same here, Been watching for years. I loved the "Challenges" like picking up plastic bottles with an excavator. I believe it's about time you had a new "Challenge" video isn't it? Perhaps a foot race challenge with Bealygood or a Rock Truck challenge with that Tod guy?

[@juanwaller1942]

You are the best multitask person on KZbin. 🏆🏆🏆.

[@IR-nq4qv]

that crushed concrete sure looks like a nice decent material to work with, it lays down uniform and has nice compaction from the way it appears in the video. 3 loader buckets of crushed concrete mixed with 1 bucket of dry cement just add water and you'd have the perfect recipe for a good solid floor in a pole barn where a guy keeps his equipment.

[@skidmark7845]

I just had four loads tailgated down my driveway and your right, it packs down good but there’s a lot of metal in it. A nightmare get it all out. Just need a drag magnet and a good pair of eyes

[@boogieman3165]

@@skidmark7845The metal is rebar that was left in the concrete, not sure why it wasn't removed before crushing it but it shouldn't cause a problem unless you find a lot of sharp pieces. One other problem with using crushed concrete for a driveway is when it's dry you'll get a lot more dust kicked up than if you used ABC stone. It's great for a base and then put a thin layer of clean stone on top makes for a good solid driveway.

[@VaJamie]

Nice to hear that John is on a cruise.....sounds like he is ok. Always loved that truck. Love to see John help you on one of your projects.

[@jeffryshadwick1798]

I don't remember how long ago it was......You were sooo proud to show your uncle johns new dump truck!! It was like being a kid in a candy store, you showed all the maneuvers of the back gate! now years later you are borrowing the same truck and it still looks great! He taught you well how to take care of your machines!!

[@stanw4760]

I'm always amazed how effortlessly you make all this equipment handling. Only a few passes and you have the gravel spread and on to the next pile. Hope you & John can work on some future projects together. "Keep Digging for the Future" 🇺🇲

[@tomswindler64]

It’s kinda nice when customer supplies his own materials and equipment to load it.looks like he has plans for this old farm,having that much land and having it dismantled.great video as always,glad to hear John is doing good.😎😎😎👍👍👍

[@ryanhoward1013]

Hi Chris, it was very nice of your uncle John to leave you his truck. Too bad he wasn't available to drive for you it would be like old days him driving and you operating while he's gone. Those were the good old days, and now we have the amazing days of Chris doing it all and a great job you do. I think that you see or talk to Uncle John more than we see or know which is good you've been together a long time. God bless you, Chris, and I pray for a long time watching you work. Becareful and safe out there. See you tomorrow.

[@KB-gs8zi]

Hey Chris !!! Nice of John to leave you access to the ""KW"" & see that he replaced the top board on the bed !! 🙃😉😊👍👍👍👍👍

From the gravel pile to the dump. Great editing there. That kind of sequence can add a lot a video.

I miss John. Ya'll always seem to have worked well together. Like you were the left hand, and he was the right. The excavator recovery while at the vet hospital was some good teamwork.

[@davidepool5884]

Crushed concrete makes a good road base. Coal slag makes a good road base too. We have a coal burning power plant near where I live. My dad bought some to repair our driveway on our dairy farm years ago when I was a kid. Back then I ran around without shoes a lot. I quickly learned not to walk on the coal slag without shoes because it will tear your feet up.

[@dylan8285]

I bet that loader was originally from up here in the northern states that’s usually the type of bucket they run here for loaders they use for the big parking lots. Allows to stack piles higher in tighter spaces

[@robmatthews7972]

The dump truck is still looking good and the side boards look like they got replaced this past year. That crush looks like you could add dry cement and water and repour a slab.

[@mikefromwv1010]

[@hvy1ton]

If hes on a cruise to the Panama Canal that started last week, he's in the same 2 week cruise as my friend's dad.

[@TsunauticusIV]

You should always lift straight up a few inches as you enter the toe of the pile. Enter until you feel you are about to stop. Lift straight up and get weight on the front tires. At that same moment start hitting the accelerator. Then start your curl but also lift. If you curl on entry you ramp and the bottom of the bucket gets pushed up and you loose traction AND wear the bucket bottom quickly.

[@bosshogg3548]

Job well done 👍🏻

[@jackman6256]

Chris you need a fleet of trucks yourself they do come in handy Unless you all ready have a few of youre own Them gravel haulers can make you money plus there when you need them yourself

[@ryanhoward1013]

Yeah, but they cost you a lot of money also. Insurance, tags, fuel, and a driver and then maintenance. It's not cheap, or Chris would have one.

That loading sequence was very nicely edited, with shots going from the loader to the dump and back. Chris is getting very good at these productions.

[@vincenthalas7055]

I have often wondered when using a loader, why not take from closer to the top? Surely there's less weight for the bucket to push into? Good too see you running everything Chris.

[@rolfwhite6479]

need the weight on the wheels of the loader to make it push into the heap otherwise the wheels just spin, that's why you take from the bottom and load up the wheels + gravity helps fill the bucket as the stuff rolls down into as you are pushing.

[@alfadoofus]

That was some good filming/editing that loading sequence. You should give your filming/editors a pat on the back

[@letsdig18]

That's me too lol

Always a joy watching Chris sculpting dirt in a pond damn and other itens. Watching him sculpting crushed concrete, gravel and millings into a well built and easily maintained road is just as entertaining. It's looks effortless to most of us but we know it takes a lot experience and talent to do it as good as he does.

[@sharonmiller6436]

All you have to do find out how much experience and talent it takes is to rent any piece of equipment - if you are lucky you get the hang of it by noon. 🙂 It is definitely not as easy as Chris makes it look!

I didn't say you'd be good at it by noon but you'd have figured out the process by then, if you're lucky. 🙂
