Long Driveway Grading Day 1

[@george8873]

That was pretty darn slick how you popped the pipe out of the driveway with the grader without breaking the pipe. Also good to see Justin because you know there will be laughing involved.

[@TrevorDennis100]

Yes, wasn't that good. I was wondering what he was doing at one point, but he was making space for the pipe to roll onto. Very clever.

[@gerrybeckingsale9973]

A magician with machinery!

[@timmyfrierson2684]

Yeah I love it when Justin‘s out there with them I could sit and listen to that man laugh all day long he has a laugh like no other person

[@tobinbarrette1141]

Why would you make such a dip and mess just to remove that pipe

[@george8873]

@@tobinbarrette1141 because it's just a piece of pvc pipe he used for the siphon to drain the pond so they could clean out the sandbar. The pipe would never stand up for long with traffic running over since it's just a piece of pipe you use for plumbing. It'd have broken and made a huge dip in the road anyway. Chris fixed it. Can't even tell where the pipe was now that he graded the driveway with the grader and then packed it in with the roller packer.

[@hplc123456]

It's so satisfying to see a grader correct a dirt road for some reason

[@jeffadams3277]

I can watch the blade cam for days!😅😅😅

Grader work is some sort of Voodoo magic, it is.

[@randywilson6869]

Yes it is. I ran 1 for the county for a year but is was crazy when my boss would get on it after he ran it for 20 years. He could do things on that sucker that was great

[@BrowerBandit]

@@randywilson6869 ya i hear you on that one, the one old timer i work with has been on a grader for 40 years.... so he makes some pretty nice roads with nothing.

The blade shot is pretty awesome. Nice to see the ‘underworkings’ of a grader. It’s amazing how he keeps the grade level.

[@louisroman7134]

Showing Justin patience and helping him with that load was great. I've seen that situation go way the other way.

I watch and feel envious of your skills of operaing these pieces of equipment, your a true "operator" . Then I think about your skills as a mechanic and see to each his own. I've been mechanicing for 50 years and I sure got you beat at wrenching. Its still a pleasure to watch you. I have been able to learn a lot. Thank you!

[@Delekham]

Most Grader Operators will agree...I have NO IDEA of what your doing. It is FANTASTIC that you can operate each and every piece of Equipment you own...and do it so well!

[@ryanh5972]

Chris is the best operator of all these machines he is very talented and blessed. Thank you for sharing with us Chris

[@callummacgregor2441]

Great job mate good to see there are still operators that take such pride in there work

[@michaelmullins1290]

You never disappoint with the skillz portion of your video. It's the whole video. Good to see Justin, and him learning more about his trade. He's a character for sure.

[@Donkey2454]

Thank you for having an auto-shutoff nozzle that works. I've seen a lot of spilled diesel because people are too cheap to replace their broken nozzles. Thumbs up btw, I love your videos. Makes me miss being a heavy equipment tech.

[@paultidswell2981]

That’s the best demonstration of a road grader I’ve ever seen. I enjoyed that and I want one. Great footage.

[@r1mein54]

Hi Chris,,nice to see some job prep and 'stinky diesel gloves'. I enjoy driving on a freshly graded, compacted gravel drive - even my own [when I do it]. One more display of great workmanship and dump truck branch trimming. I have an S curve in my driveway- but NO Semis are allowed in the yard - I like my trees - getting up leaves not so much.

[@6point5by55]

Aaaaaaaahhhhhh....the grader. Probably my favourite machine to watch. There is something mesmerising about watching the blade as it works.

[@patrafferty13]

Hi Chris. Brilliant as usual. They are trying to sort out a bit of a problem in Egypt at the moment. Perhaps you should offer your expertise as you are pretty good at ponds and what else is the Suez Canal. No problem to an expert like yourself. Great show. Please keep them coming. I should started with Greetings from Ireland.

[@koreywilliams4570]

Its cool to see these machines work. I was driving down the highway one day and seen some people doing road work and they had these badass giant flamethrower truck things. The entire bottom was a big fire it looked really cool.

[@SoleEpiphany]

Making that equipment look like a well orchestrated symphony as always, keep ‘em coming Chris! 🇨🇦

[@littleshopintheshed]

I think Justin's smile in the side mirror is the best part!! Definitely need more Justin, love the friendly ball bustin'.

[@derrickpettit3489]

It's really an art to tailgating that material, only way to learn is to do it though! Man Chris that section of road you did looks damn good, great job bud, thanks for sharing the work you do all time. Look forward to the next one. 🇺🇲

[@bostedtap8399]

Smooth and skilled, great vlog Chris. Thanks for sharing.

[@robertgeorgewerner]

Like everyone else, Justin and you bantering is one of my favorite things on youtube. Getting that pipe out with the grader is talent and a half.

[@kens.3729]

Justin is Always a Huge + to the Day. You two get along Like 👍 Brothers. Great Job, Chris. 👍

[@bigbaza30]

Great job, like the way you work, can't say I've seen one of those graders here in the UK we would use a CAT D6N to grade the road. The camera views are awesome. look forward to your next upload

[@benritchsmith]

Had some nice moves with the skid steer! You and the machine are one.

[@craigwavra3495]

Cool idea to pop the pipe out of the ground. Worked like a charm. Always good to see Justin make an appearance. Enjoyed!!

[@waynetharp]

Looks like the rain let the grader cut real nice!👍 My brother got his new JD 772G last week and is really liking it so far. Have a great weekend!

Once again your skills as a operator are simply amazing! Oh I’m “just going to roll that piece of pipe” out of the ground? And buda bing it’s done!!

[@mischef18]

Great video bro and good to see a cameo from Justin. That road looks pretty slick once you run the roller over it. Oh yeah nice camera placings too. Safe travels

[@Dudleymiddleton]

Brilliant and satisfying to watch video, thank you, Chris!

[@stevemartinez6757]

It appears to me that running a grader is much like running an excavator (or any other piece of equipment). It's an art and a valuable skill. If I tried to do what you did in this video it would have taken me at least twice as long and I probably would have created a bigger mess. I'll stick to my little box blade to do the roads on my property. Having said that I enjoy and look forward to watching your videos every day.

I am surprised that the owner didn't have you take out a few trees so the road is not as twisted a Democrat's tongue. The customer will happy with the results. Justin makes us laugh, you have a good friend there Chris.

[@TrevorDennis100]

I don't think his heart is in it. He has 56 videos but still only 1.29k subscribers, which is pants considering he is one of Chris's best friends from way back. Just was on the team with Chris when they won that Discovery Channel 'Machines of Glory', and I think they left the other teams seriously miffed because the combined age of the three team members must have been under 50, which is a third of the ages of the other teams. I think Justin's biggest problem is his channel name 'Catskinner'. I mean that's not something most people are going to click on. kzbin.info/www/bejne/iHKrfqF5rp54mdE

[@po4RP20361]

@@assassinlexx1993 I dont think it was anywhere nearly as twisted as that

[@outtatime4512]

Our county road grader operators go through a monthly routine of dragging the roads with minimal cut which just allows persistent potholes and ripples in the road. The reasoning is that it would sacrifice too many grader blades to do it right so the sacrifice is on everyone's vehicles suspension systems. Your grader footage is excellent!

[@marcwohlmayer7897]

Nice little project. Good To see Justin helping out in the jobsite😀.he is always Happy and laughing. Thats a Lot of Stones you used Up for grading out the road nur it looks good😀 i like the camera shot from underneath the grader. Awesome Stuff.💪

You and Justin must of known each other for a long time. You are hillarious when you work together. It adds so much zest to your videos instead of drama. I think that's why you along with Uncle John and Justin and Charlie and all the others who pitch in behind the scenes are such a hit with such a diverse audience. I read a lady's comment once that read. I'm a 75 year old grandmother and I don't know why but I can't miss one of your videos. Is there something wrong with me? It was pretty self evident to me that you have become a pop culture. Theres no telling what's next!
