Mulching Around A Pond And Old Shed Demo

[@mshilko]

High-flow, high-flow!!

[@brucemoore2163]

No matter how big or small the job, you always take pride in your work.

[@Stratos53100]

Agreed, Also most likely a future repeat customer, since the master is the only one around that can properly fix the issue Which will then turn into a rebuild & dredge

[@TerrellSpivey]

Yes indeed he does!!

[@joecoleman3069]

It's been awhile since Chris gave us a good demo video. Between that and the mulching this video was a nice change of pace. Thank you for sharing Letsdig!!!

[@donnamullins2089]

Mulcher did a great job. I saw the balloon. Ha ha . Shed was just a breeze away from falling. good job Chris. Hope you had a great birthday with cake and prizes. see you tomorrow.

[@robertbarnum7541]

Love your technique, use of each machine set-up position to get the most done. No wasted motion. That's what you bring to the job. Thanks Chris. Very satisfying for me.

[@mshilko]

Love the time-lapse.

[@jeffwhyte1]

That mulcher is great. I was thinking if you suspend your hose’s on springs. It would help keep them off the ground. And allow them to move at the same time. Just a thought.

[@JimsEquipmentShed]

I kinda wonder about the hose thing as well, it seems like everyone just lets them dangle, I was trying to figure out if there was a mobility issue that kept people from securing them better.

[@davidrogers7578]

The spring you use on semi trucks to suspend the air lines would be perfect

[@kevinkenyon7045]

Thanks for sharing Chris! Kevin

[@everestyeti]

A nice easy one today, not only clears shrubs, trees and old barns but Snakes as well.

[@garymessina1609]

Great video thanks Chris for having us along

[@heatherlane9270]

Variety is the spice of life - just add snakes of different breeds and a balloon! Neat job and that beautiful old pole shed - it sure was balancing on one leg. The Yanmar is a nifty little machine too.

[@AncientHermit]

That seemed like quite a long day, but it got done in a day, so it's all good. Thanks for the ride Chris. Be well. 😉

[@deliveryguy7402]

I love to watch you push over trees, stump work, and destroying trailer homes, but ever since you got this mulcher, I'm glued to the channel!

[@TerrellSpivey]

Great content on the channel!

[@bobjoncas2814]

...lookin' good, nice work, keep safe and well...''LD18, pond repair and snake removal''...lol..

[@BeytekinConstructionMachinery]

That small one makes his job like a big one. Good investment.

[@danheaven9768]

Glad you showed a replay of taking the shed down because I happened to blink at the wrong moment.

[@doritleis2773]

The Strawberry with the Mulcher come to Action. Magnific to see how the Pond Shore the wild Plant growth to lose. But the Dam not to hurt to be. This Pond must to have a Raintime!! The height of Water is little. The next Day Mulchen a Tree line, and Demo the old Shed. Is sheet and Plank not more Substance. The Video however Excellent. 👌👍

[@talibirkmanis5727]

Another great video, the way you keep your equipment in tip top order , how professional and caring about any project you do ( and you find stray balloons) , you must get some project offers because of these videos , I certainly hope you do !! Thank you for sharing.

[@rongrose3746]

Didn’t take long on the shed ! Pond banks , major improvement!

[@dawnbradrick6289]

Hi Chris 👋Dawns here 🌞no swimming with Snakes!🚩

[@jenniferbutcher8393]

Ooo! That was fun!! Here's hoping you get to come back here and make that pond into a pond again!

[@ranger2316]

Geeze... I hate snakes! I'd have to check the equipment over pretty carefully every morning before I jump on it to go to work. Good job Chris.

[@Skorpychan]

Thank you for just pushing the shed over, and getting two angles on it. I was hoping to see that ever since you first showed it. Shame about the first copperhead, but they're not endangered so it's fine.

[@RGB06084]

The roofing removal reminds me of the 11' 8" Bridge in Durham! That KZbin channel is fun to watch!

[@Michael-fd8ob]

Everything looked great. U do a great job there Chris. 👏

[@eileenmori8560]

What a transformation on the pond. That mulcher is very efficient but, in my opinion, also very scary.

[@Stratos53100]

The mulcher is good enough for the mini with just enough Flow on the hydr. without getting bogged down too badly. compared to others with higher flow etc that are dedicated forestry type suited/outfitted etc

[@patrickcolahan7499]

Great job as usual. Just too bad you don't have a bit more flow to handle that mulcher. But it still does a pretty good job. Thanks for sharing.

[@donald6345]

Yeah, the yanmar is to slow

[@jameshancock18]

thought the same, bit tedious it getting bogged down, still a super job

[@UncleKennysPlace]

He could get a monster for the Volvo. Still, as in everything, you get more power, you get a bigger tool, rinse and repeat.

[@pkline8341]

I noticed that where the hydraulic lines connect to the mulcher, the hoses drag the ground you might want to wrap them in a rubber sheath of some kind to minimize wear on the hoses. Great video, thanks.

[@michaelschuenemann3505]

Wow - You encountered some Snakes ! Well that Mulcher is doing a Fantastic Job ! Knocking over an old Shed as well - Great Job done - we loved it ! Many Cheers from us in Australia !!!!

[@zpakk4499]

This attachment is one of the coolest things I have ever seen, EVER!!

[@rustysteel8714]

Cleaned er' up real nice, Chris! Great piece of equipment.

[@glynngrauer3962]

The sun rise you had on the morning was amazing and the strength 💪 of that thumb is amazing love the channel LETSDIG18 just always gets the job done 1000% better then he found.cant wait until you dig this pond👍👍👍👍🤙🤙

[@nealmelton1282]

I love work i could watch you all day and sometimes I do thanks.

[@RumMonkeyable]

Even though small, love seeing demo! 😍👍👏💪

[@stanleymartin1613]

Neat stuff. Enjoyed watching. Not a fan of snakes myself. Curious about the pond leak cause 🤔.

[@bige9055]

Man you imagine having one of those Mulchers on the 220, it would be taking 8” to 10” trees down. Sweet job Chris.😊

[@berndtlindstrom830]

Good to see that the jobs are falling in, both big and small.

[@Kanooky_Jones]

Interesting. I always wondered about animals hiding in habitat like that. Not sure about the other 2 snakes, but perhaps the best outcome for the copperhead. Guess a lot of these lakes aren’t exactly safe to swim in. Never know what has turned it into a home.

[@bndwoodlands775]

The property owner has just made a huge step in reducing the number of snakes by simply keeping the edges clean.

[@Skorpychan]

@@bndwoodlands775 Chris reduced them by at least one while doing it...

[@snappingbear]

Geoff Beale said Chris got a few copperheads on his build.

[@tedc7714]

Copperhead sleep all day under something.. stepping over log and startle him he might nail you. Blacks snakes get big but harmless. Water snakes harmless too.

[@larryconley9438]

Nicely done chris ,great job ,great videos.

That tin removal was impressive Chris!

Appears to be a Massie leak with it that low. Love the new videos Chris keep up the good work

[@richardhead3211]

thanks for mulching that copper head chris!

[@BobCaseyAerial]

Any Job you do Chris looks BETTER when you leave.. Well done

[@JonDisnard]

I love this new balloon watching. It is the ld18 version of train spotting.

[@jeffreyweatherwax5444]

You know I had my doubts about that running that mulcher head but it does pretty good job for what it is. I'd still like this. See that on a real high flow machine

[@smileywilson9972]

Always enjoy a good mulching video looks like the pond could use some love for sure lol

[@mastinfowler8225]

Great job!..we have a pond in Disputanta Va that needs to have that done..I’m 1hr 15 minutes from LKG where Uncle Jon has a place..would love to get you up here for a day!..thanks…I will even wear my LetsDig18 T-shirt…lol

[@cathiwim]

Thats almost stright up the road a couple hours from Chris. We have friends there(we used to live in Petersburg

[@nandi123]

I think a highflow skid steer with mulcher is in Chris's future. 🙂👍

[@michiganengineer8621]

The ASV RT75 would probably be about perfect. It's available with high flow hydraulics and at under 75HP it doesn't require either DEF or a DPF.

[@thomasleonard1846]

All mulchers with hydraulic flow are centrifugal, they all lose revolutions depending on how much or how fast you feed into them!

[@aman-fd9xx]

@@thomasleonard1846 yes, but more=better.

[@Vickie-Bligh]

You're so efficient with that mulcher. Nice job.

[@catgynt9148]

Another terrific video, thanks for sharing this. Will you be painting snakes on the side of the mulched to represent the two copperheads , the black and water snakes? What about groundhogs, skunks and other critters too? Wishing you and your family a blessed week, gentle weather and restful evenings. Peace Chris.

[@davecoombs6060]

[@georgiepeorgie4723]

Chewing up that shelter was fun!

[@Jabbaholl]

Still think you need a high flow skidsteer and one of them mulching attachments, your power rake woulde be more efficient too. thanks for taking your time to make these videos

[@steves9915]

I think he likes the Yanmar because of the reach. He can do the pond banks and reach up in the higher brush and trees, but higher pressure wouldn't hurt.

[@ralphjelomono9068]

the mulcher head is surely the best tool for the job. does really nice work. snake meat for the other critters to feed on

I must say you are hell on two tracks. 😀😀😀

[@jeffterhune8573]

Need some snake and balloon stickers to keep track, looks darn impressive.

[@AnomadAlaska]

Beautiful property. Would be nice to see it with the pond at proper elevation. Hopefully that is within the owners budget in the future.

[@VTghost04]

Chris, I've been following you for over 5 years love the videos and dedication. Would love if in the videos or just the description you let viewers know the machines and attachments you use. Maybe it will help get a few sponsors for the channel? Keep it up!

[@JuanSanchez-bd3fi]

Chris you always do your jobs so neatly like it’s your own place place

[@kevinrice2721]

I might like these "destruction" videos even more then the construction videos, don't psychoanalyze me please ;) I expect a lot from a 200 series but I'm always impressed what a mini you can move around with a pickup can do. Nice work as always.

[@IR-nq4qv]

Awesome job Chris, I was wondering if an aerial drone shot would identify any wet areas where the pond may be leaking

[@warrenmichael918]

maybe if it was a fresh leak, i bet this pond has been low for a while now and any water that leaked out is most likely gone and dried out by now. That makes it hard to find without digging into the dam i think.

[@warrenmichael918]

The Pond Master has switched from 'builder' to repair & maintenance.

[@sk00t3r8]

that mulcher is a mighty little attachment

[@teddysponsler6220]

The best part to this, is you don't have to change any hoses while you're doing anything you want to. Changing to any other hydraulic hose

[@ronpeacock9939]

One good push? Damn, the way that went down.. you probably only need to lean up against that post and it would have come down. That poor pond clearly needs a little TLC...

[@johnmattu7262]

I swear Chris, I would send that mulch head down the road before I knocked another paint chip off it. Absolutely nothing derogatory toward you, I think it pretty well goes without saying that you're about as slick of a operator as they come. It just seems to me it does nothing great or fast. I've got the exact host machine with a 42" brush cutter that I wished you could have done that job with. It'll wack off a 3" locust no problem and I've chewed down 6" hardwood too. It cuts grass like a belly mower if you give the blades a lick with the cordless grinder and a flap disc before you start and yes it tills the dirt to get the stumps and it's waaaay quicker than the mulch head. Just try'in to get you home quicker so we can start your new pond! The job turned out great, as usual.👍🏼

[@hjemison]

I love that shredder!😊

[@arthurjennings5202]

You know, those 1 X 6 stringers looked pretty good, Chris. A lot better than what they are putting in houses these days.

[@TerrellSpivey]

Watching you mulch around the pond got me wanting to start mowing around fields with the long arm cutter for the tractor! Lol Great job my friend!! Question and I know u know about your equipment, but is there any way you can strap the hydraulic hoses up that drag across the ground!? Just asking! And wow! Had no idea you can even pull the metal off of a barn like that with the excavator! Skillz!! Love it! As dry as it's been in NC my way, alot of Ponds look like that and don't have leaks! Record low water levels this year!

[@xoxo2008oxox]

Should put snake-kills decals on that mulcher. While I think black snakes are good; copperheads not so much. Waiting to see what the leak is and your fix!

[@harveylong5878]

what no ground hornets/bees on this one Chris? with that overgrown mess, 'only' 3 snakes is a record. mulcher might be slow but gets the job done. beats being out on a SS with brush cutter wondering where your luck will run out, get stuck in the mush

[@ntomnia585]

Chris, you think the hydraulic lines for the mulcher dragging the ground might cause a hang-up at some point? Would the lines loop over the thumb tines or perhaps a bungee cord from the tines help?

[@terryrogers1025]

I know if I was setting in the cab of that excavator, it would most gratifying to look out over that pond area and see it all nicely, mulched and cleaned up, you might even say “slicked up”, must be rewarding to have a job like that. I thought that at the about the 18:52 mark that that was a balloon , but I guess not or you would have said something like you did later on, BTW, you got me looking for ballon’s now😂. Thanks for the ride along sir

[@steves9915]

I thought it was either a blue balloon or a pair of blue clogs or whatever those rubber shoes are, LOL. Good job Chris.

[@harrykeel8557]

You should have said timber, when you pushed over the shed. It would have been more dramatic.😁 That's one thing about cleaning around a pond, it's very likely that you will come across a no-shoulder(s). Bet the black one was a cotton mouth. Stay safe! Of course I fully agree with you on wanting to stay on the excavator. I would have stayed in it. If
