Chris: Making the world a better place, one Big scoop at a time.

Fantastic job, best part of my day is watching letsdig18 videos

Total craftsman. Watching every day whilst on lockdown. Eric Oxford uk

Another great job. This time by two experts in their field. Thanks for sharing.

I love watching the work that you do and admire your attention to detail. If you were in my area I would definitely hire you with confidence that the job will be done right.

Boy it's about time you made that Elite Earthworks dude do something! lol. All I ever see him do is ride around in a machine or a truck normally, and every once in a great while he gets out and holds a rake in his hands to make it look good for his viewers!

LOL, Every time I see one of those packers now all I can think is "Whacker packer" from that auction video a few years back. Good stuff, you guys collab well!

This reminds me of when Brandon unloaded and set his box on that retention pond job. Seems there was a couple machines involved getting that box off the trailer. And then another project with the flare and inlet pipe etc. Fun times all around! Lol

Discovered Letsdig18 last week. Very cool. Great vids and commentary. The operator is awesome. So skilled and knows his stuff as well. Very impressed with all aspects of him and his craft. I bet he could thread a needle using his excavator ! lol

If you look at the far edge of the pond when the video starts you will see a Great Blue Heron. I am sure he helped remove the fish.

Man, that is some high quality help you got there. Teaching the man some pond stuff or just making a friend go to work when he comes to visit? ;) It is an awful long drive from Missora for a day job. I once knew a guy like that he was from Gaylord, Michigan; we called him Detroit Ron for obvious reasons. Thanks for the videos, Chris. Don't work Brandon too hard or he might expect to get paid.

Yeah Chris I think Brandon liked the 220. But anyway brother another great video you John and Brandon y’all stay safe and keep them coming

You are like a sculptor, with your digger - fantastic !

Fascinating 👍👍👍👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Worked with a guy that couldn't figure out a log tape, 1' increments with a shoe nail on one end, and a clip to attach to your belt, dude insisted he needed someone to hold the end for him, and couldn't figure out how to attach the tape to his overalls... Few days later he left, very upset at me... (this is after I damned near swung a bucket full of logs into him cause he walked up on the machine I was working in, chewed he ass for trying to shovel tracks on the same machine while I was trying to load logs with it, then spent the better part of 8 hours staying warm in the service truck while the rest of us froze our muddy asses off... BTW he ran that service truck nearly out of fuel 45 miles from the nearest station... I of course managed to finish it off 3 mi from home, in the dark on a winding road... cause the fuel gauge didn't work at all grrrrrr)

That's what I call 100% teamwork

I’ve done this before when I was working for the yard crew at a slaughterhouse. We where building waste pits and digging the canals out and putting in risers and grouting the plastic pipe it. Tho sadly I always got the blocks that where a foot thick of concrete and had to use a sledgehammer and sometimes hit rebar aw that was hard work

I would much rather have the hole when the concrete too large then being too tight or too small 👍 nice job!!

You make it look easy but we all know it's not your first rodeo. 👍👍😀🍁

as you were crushing the old concrete pipe, I couldn't help wondering why you didn't toss a couple of them in the pond for fish habitat.... but from the looks of the silt in there, they might just sink and become a nuisance for the person that gets to dredge that one.

@ulfeirikjohnsen2735

Concrete habitats, does'nt the concrete slowly make the water more acidic over time? For ponds I guess that could be an issue.

Really wish they would fit thumbs to more UK machines, they make life much easier “Great Vids” 👍👍👍

You are a dam good operator sir

12 hour days doing pipe can get old but its also rewarding looking at your finished product. my operator runs a 349 cat.

I work on my family farm with my grandfather though my parents own a construction company, underground piping and steel structure building mostly these days, so I’ve been around a lot of the equipment you use and ran too but I still like the vids. I do mostly stay away from the construction side of the family business as it’s never interested me as much as the farm side.

Aaah, the guys that make Post10 happy by doing away with the old and in with the new.

Good Job!! Enjoyed!! Cheers!!;-)!

Love those closeup view of concrete box and pipe.we need to see other aspect of your work not just digging and scooping.Full marks👍🏻👏👏
