Chris you should build a ramp out of dirt, on your farm, so you back the trailer to and load your machines easily when they are all wet. I think you have the technology.

Yea' just use a few concrete highway dividers, surrounded by dirt then grass or gravel, and never have suspended loads on forklift loading or unloading, just drive-in or drive-off and drive-off _ and level access for all equipment, to never need ramps when at home or from any Shop ( do same at Shops whenever possible ) Elementary' old world technology !

The job just wouldn't be quiet big enough for the truck and excavator process. But almost a long push for a dozer. I think you have a great piece of equipment in the D7.

How to make your measurements easier and more reliable than measure adjust, measure adjust. You will use Pythagorean theorem and solving for systems of equations. It sounds high class but it's just shop math. Let's solve for your situation here, let 10cm = 100ft, you can use inches but you will need a tabletop. The 'Thagster said that a^2 + b^2 = c^2 so 10cm^2 + 10cm^2 = 200cm solve for the square of that and you get 14.142cm. Now pick a starting point and go 10cm from there and go out 10cm staying close to your reference, in this case you had a fence line as a reference to help your line stay straight. From your first point go out 14.142cm and dot an arc then go to your second point that is 10cm from your first point and go out 10cm towards the 14cm arc and start dotting another arc. There is only one point that will land on the intersection of both arcs. Well there is only one that will make any sense. You can now use this method to locate the other corners of any building footprint, and you will never need to measure and adjust again.

I believe he is pushing the dirt that’s being cut out to the point where it needs lifted and then uses the small dozer to do the lift and better grade Ray from Oregon
C&C equipment, did you right on getting the best dozer for you to do this job right. Love to see her work.
112.....no way. I'll keep my butt in Michigan thanks!
That trailer has also earned its keep already!
Put old rubber tracks on the ramps. It saves the wood while given steel tracks something to grip onto.
You do an awesome job with your work I found your channel a week ago so I've been watching the heck out of your videos.i bet you could pick up an egg with that excavator like you did your lunch.big fan ohio
It's a big aeena chris the D7 making light work for it Sunday morning 14th July
I think that Chris needs the 350 and Barney
How to make your measurements easier and more reliable than measure adjust, measure adjust. You will use Pythagorean theorem and solving for systems of equations. It sounds high class but it's just shop math. Let's solve for your situation here, let 10cm = 100ft, you can use inches but you will need a tabletop. The 'Thagster said that a^2 + b^2 = c^2 so 10cm^2 + 10cm^2 = 200cm solve for the square of that and you get 14.142cm. Now pick a starting point and go 10cm from there and go out 10cm staying close to your reference, in this case you had a fence line as a reference to help your line stay straight. From your first point go out 14.142cm and dot an arc then go to your second point that is 10cm from your first point and go out 10cm towards the 14cm arc and start dotting another arc. There is only one point that will land on the intersection of both arcs. Well there is only one that will make any sense. You can now use this method to locate the other corners of any building footprint, and you will never need to measure and adjust again.
Beautiful dozer 👌🏻👌🏻🤘🏼
You just can’t beat old reliable iron. Life was good for all the equipment manufacturers until the government had to stick their nose in it. The one thing I do see on the D7 is it acts like the blade needs to be tipped forward a little more. The dirt isn’t rolling like it should. It’s just stacking up in front of the blade
THANKS!
Nice work, as usual
Hey criss. Dumb question. Would the root rake teeth help break up the hardpan? I have never used a rake. Just curious? Like the new cable shovel and your channel.
34:00 If anyone feels "light headed" from the heat, take your shoes off. Your body will feel 10 degrees cooler, instantly! Water is not enough, drink a Gatorade.

Firemen found that you soak your forearms in cold water . It chills the blood to cool the body. They have custom camp chairs with waterproof pockets filled with water
Just curious...has Chris ever used the those ripper teeth on the back of the blade? Seems like when reversing you could be ripping as well. May not be applicable to this type of job.
You should talk about the capabilities of the machine you’re using. Tells us what it can do and features please. I would love to learn while you’re working.

@CK61380: He'd be hoarse by the middle of a .5 hr video, due to the noise level he has to overcome on the D7. It's only somewhat better on the Komatsu, due to the enclosed cab.
