[@thomasstewart9368]

That little dump trailer was the perfect gadget. Kinda neat set-up. Like your new compactor too. 👍

[@iainmatheson9498]

@letsdig18 Superb Job! Very impressive. I'm a Greenkeeper at a Golf Course in Scotland & have never witnessed contractors with your pride & finishing touches. Great job!

[@Namaste3004]

It can be seen that you are a master of your trade in everything you do, Chris! The beginning of today's video was so calm and relaxed for me because you unloaded things from the truck and swapped the shovels of the excavator so precisely and completely relaxed, as if you were dealing with fragile things. Most of the time I almost fall asleep while watching. 😴 That's why I like to watch your videos and at your work. ☺️ #takecare

[@georgetucker336]

The roller compactor sure looks like it works great. You sure will get some more jobs at the golf course, after that clean professional job. Golf courses like that neat clean work.

[@kevinkenyon7045]

Your new compactor seems to work very well, having that blade on the front makes your job a bit easier. Thanks for sharing. Kevin

[@EisBar70]

Being a retired operator of equipment myself it is a pleasure to see a person so skilled in his trade and very confident on all pieces of equipment . Awesome job !!

[@uppsalahazzemarkstedt2759]

Now it's maybe time for you Chris to look at Dynaset HVB all implement vibrator. You place it on stick and give you vibration for your compactor but also grading bucket to compact soil/gravel or loose sticky clay from inside it and a lot more usage. Very nifty thing to make your excavator more versatile. I really love it!

[@evilbrat5376]

That roller is going to be a be a real time saver and body saver for you on your jobs. Great investment again on your part. It seemed to pay for itself by having to Not rent a thumper to pack that sand and dirt down. Thanks for bring us along on this job.

[@keithdunlap2701]

Turned out Great Chris !! Looks like your New Compactor worked pretty good on that , that little blade on the front makes it handy too !! Great as always !! Have a Great Evening....On to the next !!

[@hackdlc]

Ya know if you wanted that piece of asphalt to come out in one piece it would have shattered like tempered glass.

[@Graeme408]

I was a little skeptical about the little compactor but now I totally get it. As many boxes are put in every day I sure hope they gave that to you! That is the perfect attachment for the perfect job. That box will not ever shift out. Of place. Nice to see the compactor at work.

[@usmcforever7630]

The catch basin is deep enough to catch a few stray golf balls. Well done

[@meyer629]

That roller thing is slicker than hog snot!! Big John's lookin at that thing thinkin I sure am glad I have Chris!!

[@JonDisnard]

I love the new attachment, gets into those tight places, and the scraper works nice.

[@kadaver100]

that tractor/dump trailer combo works great for these smaller jobs. I'm surprised you don't use this combo more often on similar jobs. great vid as always

[@ignacio9552]

I bet you can use the golf course as a clay borrow pit. Dig some shallow but wide borrow pits, dress up the edges, throw some sand in and turn them into bunkers. Spring comes around and the Members are confused why the course was redesigned. Clay is great stuff.

[@lohimike]

Chris, I've been watching for years ,but this shows what a true professional in your trade is and why you are worth the "Big Money". truly an outstanding job from start to finish.

[@yellowlab5624]

You looked like a pro on the J D !❤️ Out of all the attachments, that compactor looks boring to use , but does what it was designed for!

? 🤔 it says yanmar?

[@davestuart6593]

I like the wheel attachment,but I think it would be more efficient,with a vibrating assembly,just a thought. I enjoy watching your jobs! Keep the video’s coming!

[@2xKTfc]

Yeah that drum seems to pack it in and rip it back out in the same pass. Technically a multi-purpose tool I guess? Something vibrating with a quick connect that has a valve block in it would help a lot. And be easier to manage because you don't have to line up the trench with the boom in order to move it over the work area.

[@randywilson6869]

A tilt rotator is the way to go. I am starting to wonder about tracks or wheels too. I notice that so many places r now going to a wheel hoe and even pull the trailer. It would cut down on your bob cat thing

[@jcgoogle1808]

Could have used a few quarts of water from the golf course sized water truck to get max density on the base, but that was probably good enough for a golf cart road.

[@onceagain3193]

It’s not about the size of your equipment it’s how you use it #mini life

Another great job - looking great as well.

That was an impressive root system for such a small shrub.

My exact thought when it was yanked out, lol.

Right!?

You did an impressive job!!!!! Great end result! That old pipe was definitely failing

Looks great Chris hope you have a great weekend

[@DonnaMSchmid]

Beautiful work, as always! Great job, guys!

[@johndeere700h9]

I am impressed with that Takeuchi tl12 carrying all that weight. We almost bought one but my father passed away. Keep up the great work. If you ever need a operator look me up. Take care.

[@brianmeattey4151]

Great looking ..ya did awsome it looks good ..and that roller thing does pretty good as well .you have a great night and godbless

[@edmcwv]

That little compactor is a real back saver on small jobs. Good investment.

[@1244taylor]

looks great. a fine job indeed...

[@eliteearthworksllc]

Very nice! I’m sold on the Felco compaction wheel very nice attachment

[@bourbonthebiscuit]

That new compactor attachment works well 👌 another great job Chris 👍

[@maxinemoore9266]

The work you do is amazing keep it up.

[@truckertom3323]

That compactor is a good piece of kit, save a lot of time with it.

[@johnstegall4119]

After the last 2 days of rain it surely got a good test!!

[@IR-nq4qv]

I got shot gun. Very neat and tidy Chris, neat enough for a golf course.

[@kennethjohnson7829]

The man is a worker . Puts on a show , edits ,and uploads it !

[@glenjohnson9505]

Old John had that Deere in R for Racing, i mean reverse!!

[@george8873]

That tractor and dump trailer sure made hauling materials a lot easier. It hauled more than I thought it might be able to. Another job done well. Is this the same golf course you replaced the culverts at a couple of years ago?

[@jaquigreenlees]

I doubt it is, or there wouldn't have been that small round pipe riser and culvert needing replacing this soon.

[@abssworks]

I really enjoy your videos. Your a great operator.

[@beozzie690]

Nice job Chris, but it was close though! You almost managed to get mud on your jeans! Although, definitely waiting for you to do your impression of Timmay and fall into the pond!

[@montygomez495]

Chris was that the Felco salesman watching you work?? He must of been amazed at work....beautiful job!!!!!! as always..

[@letsdig18]

It was he wanted to come see me work lol

[@montygomez495]

Thanks Chris stay safe...

[@edvanandel]

I don’t know if that trailer used to remove the dirt, bring the sand and the rocks is yours, but I should consider getting one or two if I were you. Could save you a lot of time and work in some cases.

[@masonnieman4559]

Those dump trailers are really popular with golf courses. The company i worked for years ago had several of them. They worked great on the terrain we were on. They really didn't tear anything up either to be honest

[@ryanlother4957]

You sure are slick with that mini.

[@johncampbell6382]

Now that is an excellent job very well done and I think you’ve made a good investment in the packer 👍👍

[@davedavis662]

I stand corrected, you new little compactor has a place in your arsenal. I’m man enough to admit it. Another excellent job!

[@ipaddlemyowncanoe.7441]

That worked out pretty good👍👍😀🍁

[@kittty2005]

This is proof you're an expert pipe layer, god I love watching your videos. Your videos are much more enjoyable than the other guy's he talks too damn much.

[@Mephiston]

Woah, I had no idea that the mini's arm could yaw (move left to right) like that. Impressive and handy.

[@tangowhisky14]

That looks a great job Chris. Well done guys and thanks for a good video.

[@timmyfrierson2684]

Well Chris I tell you why that little sheep foot sure makes a lot of difference than having to use that whacker packer and saves a lot of time that little tool is going to come in handy for y’all anytime y’all lay a catch basin or put in your overflows for your pond dams but anyway brother another great video and you and John and yawls families stay safe and keep the videos coming man

[@WSmith2024]

Good job, as always. Thanks for the video.

[@mischef18]

Good to see the new tool put to use bro, looks like it did a great job too.

I bet the groundskeepers love you. Nice work

[@lopezguy9587]

U and I think and operate very much alike sir it amazes me how I watch this and the order in which we operators get things done can vary but we see things alike ill put it like that.

[@johnapel2856]

That compactor wheel is neat. Would that be called a lambsfoot instead of a sheepsfoot? 🙄

[@timmyfrierson2684]

Lmaoooo yea you right. Lol.

[@flueflame5438]

Due to it being painted black, it has to be a sheep because, 🎶 bah bah black lamb 🎶 doesn’t sound right when you sing it.

[@Zebrails]

Makin' paydirt with that new compactor! Good job. John BC, Canada

Another beautimous Yanmar success story. That compacter roller is the ticket!

[@bradleynoneya7223]

I knew it was too good to be true. He almost had me when he picked up that shovel.. just moved it tho. Love the vids man!!

[@pootthatbak2578]

I Redid my crumpled blacktop driveway..didnt want the last 5 feet of it. I ordered the contractor to remove the blacktop and stone, i said i wanted grass to grow there. It was a deep hole and he filled it partially with screenings, leaving me to fill in the last 4 or 5 inches with soil. I forget exactly why we did that, but i leveled out that hole and the surrounding yard with 23 tons of topsoil. The grass grew in, a beautiful batch of tall fescue. Turns out next summer, the drought came and all the grass survived except for the grass on top of the screenings. It turned brown, and left a mark where my old driveway was. I have to assume the grass will not grow well around your new drain box for the same reason..

[@farmerbob4554]

The scraper bar is right handy to have on that compactor.

[@rhacker3058]

do put that rip-rap in by hand, it's so perfect. LOL have a great night!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@brucedickison8788]

That tractor and trailer worked well , would something like that work for some of the no access pond dredge jobs instead of shutting back and forth with skid steer?

[@jaquigreenlees]

my guess, no. the open tail would make a bigger mess with the mud and just make the job that much harder.

[@michaelscottalloway8915]

well the little compacter wheel seems to do what it was made for . The only thing I can see that maybe a problem is that you can't really get the sand or stone or dirt around the catch basin like you can a bucket .

[@leostcyr5797]

That works great I bet ,awesome work bud
