Chris, it is so nice to see a qualified operator work a machine.After 45 years of running equipment I am blessed to be able to watch your videos. Thank you.

Looks great even if red dirt❤❤❤❤❤

Nice example of Chris' ingenuity in that small time-lapse bit; Grabbing ashes and moving them on his way back to grab clay, and also reversing to stop the ash cloud blowing in to his face.

How about an update on that real large pond with island. The idea was that the owner was going to fill it with an irrigation pump. Is it trapping any rainwater.

There is a drain system from the house that captures any excess water and feeds it into the pond besides any that falls naturally. That was quite the construction project.

The bealy good pond is full and a regular back ground shot on many of the recent videos of the house and pool being done with ICf blocks .

@@philhammond5908 Not talking about about the Bealy Good pond. Heck fire, that pond was filling up even before the dam was finished. I'm talking about the next big pond. It was a long circular dam with a large building up by the headwater. My concern was that even after a couple of weeks, that big pond was hardly wet at all in the bottom.

I guess,, maybe over the years I have had people do jobs for me that I would have to come behind to see they did their jobs right ,, most times they didn’t 🙄 nice to see someone that does their job right ,, every time 😎

Always a very professional looking job . When ever you put in a driveway culvert

Job well done 👍🏻 no better way to start the weekend off than with a let’s dig video

I too noticed the new trailer that you said was coming sometime after the new truck. Cant wait to hear how it came about thanks Chris.

You are fun to watch. I'd plant a lawn chair with a cooler of drinks and sit & watch. And I bet that's why Geoff comes over all the time too! The timelapse of the trackloader was priceless. Thanks for a fun half-hour.

I don't know why, but I really enjoy the sound when the mini tracks.

Looking better every day Chris. That's what you call a farmer that lost his topsoil and was trying to farm rock. Not much topsoil to work with like at the Bealy good homestead. Hard to believe that a few minutes down the road at your farm you had lots of topsoil. Great video Chris.

I have an average of 5 ft deep black top soil. 2 miles away, across I-35, they have limestone and crappy yellow clay. No topsoil. The freeway is just about a dividing line of this for over 50 miles. Good land one side, garbage the other.

VERY SMART of you to “pre-purchase piping while prices were “reasonable”……similar to your buying your fuel from wholesaler instead of paying market prices!!?🎯😳😎👍🏾

Happy Friday everybody

One of the best shows on here.

Very efficient,very professional as always Chris place is looking great.really impressed how the burn piles basically disappeared.great video.just keep on doing what you do best.😎😎😎👍👍👍

Chris it is However a Perfect Work! Alike what You Make, it is always a good Planing and a first Class Execute in short Time. The Video from the self Quality. Thanks, 👍👌

Looks good, typical LD18 quality job. Appreciate the video, enjoyed watching.

Howdy Chris! Have a groovy evening,take care and God Bless!!!❤😊

I noticed that the gooseneck has arrived, now I’ll be patient for the review. I know that it’ll haul the mini & the skid steer can it handle the Komatsu, it’ll make things a little easier.

I done that by using nothing but hand tools. Back many years ago. You do what you have to do with what you have. Still a tiny bit jealous.

Man, ya got quite a bit done there Chris !! That lot is really shaping on up now !! Looking Good Man !! Great as always Chris !! Have a Great Weekend, And, On too the Next !!

Once again nice video to start the weekend off… 👍🏻👍🏻💪🏻 did I miss you buying a new trailer??

new gooseneck .. can't wait for Chris to show us..

I agree Clyde, Chris is an artist with controls in his hands.

Looks like the new trailer has been delivered

I see you got a new gooseneck trailer to haul your equipment around. That should pull a bit nicer than the old bumper pull one.

Good thing you done the maintenance on the mini . it's doing a good job.

You my friend are like a surgeon with that flat blade digging those culverts, I was suprized no stone was needed, I guess that red clay is all you need when you have it avalible. The grading and leveling that hill on the lot looks great, I can`t wait to see the house go up and all the final grading to see how well the culvert works, it seems it`s right on the money to carry all the water flow right down the hill, well done sir.

Thanks Chris for another great video. You make operating equipment look easy. Thanks for sharing with all your YT followers.

Got to love the view from the mini.!

Good job as always. Nobody makes a better culvert dig. Thanks Chris. No all your rain is in Texas. Flooding Houston and surrounding areas.

Shut up

Excellent pipe installation, thanks for the video!

Roughly how much more expensive is the polypropylene pipe compared to the high density polyethylene (ADS N12)?

Awesome work Chris, you an Robert get alot done working in a day, place is coming along nicely, thanks for sharing an I look forward to seeing the next video 🇺🇲💪🤙👌👍✊

Dig it out, move it, fill it back in. You know you will get a visit from Geoff anytime you are on 'his job'.

very tidy job, thanks for sharing..

When you gonna show off that new gooseneck. Looks fancy with hydraulic dovetail!

I seen the factor truck in new jerseythe big job is looking great

The Bealy Good LetsDig18 operation in progress for customers is second to none. Top work guaranteed.

Thank you and have a great day.

Chris, I know that out of all the excavating you do, skimming out a SMOOTH surface is you favorite. You just can't help yourself! LOL

Goonzquad wants to build a huge pond. You need to do a collaboration with them. It would be EPIC!

From the street veiw that lot is pretty good size. Shaping up nicely Chris.

Every video is a gem from this project bro, Robert sure is a good operator of your toys too. Safe travels. Ken.

Looks great

New trailer looks good behind your truck 👌

I ah was watching C&C Equipment earlier today and I think I saw 👀 your stuff on pallets that just came in 🤫🤫😉

All of this prep work to get the site ready for the house, will probably cost as much as the house :-)

Judging the speed that the track loader travels I would take it to the drag strip..... I think you could win LOL

The clay will hoe those pipes in pretty solid nice video

Love the fast forward music ❤

Nice

Looking good 👍👍🙂🇨🇦

Like the video Chris its a good one to

It must be the same 3100 plus people watching Chris early and constantly

Great as always chris thanks

I feel sad when Chris says goodbye.

Awesome job Chris love your videos

That is going to be a very nice house lot.

Nice new trailer there sir!

Enough money in site prep and that driveway to build a small bungalow.

I was thinking maybe you could put the mini mulcher on and clean up the drainage ditch 🫠😉

Looks nice

Nice looking trailer hooked to your truck!!

Saturday morning 4..05..24 Chris you're a damm good operator the track loader great machine here in the UK few years back there were many 951 track loader caterpillar I new a driver called jock a Scottish man a great track loader operator he was a pleasure to watch thanks Chris till next time

thank you

We call it cut and fill, cut off the topside and fill the low side. Nice work on those culverts.

👍

Hey,, I really like your new Goose neck trailer

Do You Put In "SAFE" Rooms, With All The "NADERS" Over The Course Of The Last Couple Of Weeks, Do You Build Them There?? Thanks Brother!!

Do you ever think you could use a single or double axle dump truck to move these small amounts of dirt versus running the loader these distances? It could be a very inexpensive used truck or is it too much hassle for the gain? And I agree with a lot of comments that you are a very smoooth equipment operator, enjoy watching every episode.

Chris has said that it's to expensive to run a truck you need tags and insurance, and all expenses of up keep and he would need a driver, you add it all up and it's just not worth it.

I ENJOYED WATCHING THE VIDEO CHRIS 😊

Nice work

I'm curious why you don't use the blade on the mini more. I use mine all the time, like for example backfilling that culvert. Please give us your take😊

Many good operators will say that if you're good ,the bucket is all you need ,the blade is sort of cheating,but it does have some uses

👍👍👍

good pond video

Hey Chis, you never mention the new trailer purchase, I guess I should watch the whole video before writing this

17:01 Ash backwards.

Very cool

That was Fun

Nice video Chris.

Next investment? A wheeled loader!

Chris, when's the D7 gonna be back in action. Ready to see that beauty work

I need to comment: you see some land... trees n tumps n whatnot.. al over the place nothing to laugh. Give "letsgig18" one week and you will have perfectly prepared urban areas.... unf......believeable! when you see with how much paciende he picks up every stick with the mega bucket... I sometimes get a bit unpatience... but when you see the result.... no more complaints possible...!!! Great job Chris!

That road must be on the list for the local authorities.

Hi Chris, that place is looking pretty awesome. You do such great work. I bet i could look at two driveway entrances having you put one in and someone else put the other one in, and i could tell the difference yours are always so perfect and nobody could be better than you. Nice job. Thanks for the video, and i hope you enjoy your weekend. God bless you, you're the man. 👍👍 😃😃

I orefer going up from original grade instead of digging to flatten. Less likely to have rain runoff come in the house.

Chris did you get a new trailer??

New trailer?

🤗❤️👍

❤❤❤

👏👏

This is cool Peace out

LetsDig18!😊

At the apx. 25 min. mark: I'm like you, I would not cut down the back, I would have added to the front.

What size is that bucket?

Seems quite dusty??

Started to watch a Dirt Perfect video, then noticed you had a New video out. Dropped old Mikey and here I am.

How wide does the right of way have to be into that property?

Guest appearance from Bealy Pooh 🤣

That clay looks like shiny pennies today!

A 613? I'm a scraper kinda fella so what do I know.
