Bummer about the breakdown, but that’s why you have 2 220’s and the 330… of course 2 years ago, if your 220 broke down, you were offline… Now at least, you have an alternative… even if it feels like using a mini. Emissions bites again. That said, I know in real time you’ve started your vacation going down with the motley bunch to the Florida Auctions. I hope you enjoy the weather. I know it’s been rather cold even into Georgia this year…

I was thinking of the ponds I've watched you build with the 220 since I started watching you and it's quite a few. I bet that smaller bucket feels like using a toy shovel vs a full sized one, but you are so in tune with that machine, that it's uncanny.😁 This little build has been fun to watch and can't wait to see it completed. I'm also looking forward to the shenanigans that you & Mike will be up to. Thanks for sharing this, Chris.

What an incredible improvement on the lot. Took some waste land that was going to be a mosquito breeding ground and turned it i to a positive

Breakdowns, not if, but when, good news is the 220 is there to pick up the slack. Ponds looking good, be nice to see it with water in it, thanks for the video, appreciate the update.

That sure is a bugger with the 330 bro but as you say the 220 came though to get the job done. Looking to be a really nice pond too. Safe travels. Ken.

Your pond digging skills are really impressive to watch. Thanks so much for bringing us along. 🙏

Pond is looking good!! Nice job with what you had, always good to have a backup plan!! DEF sensors, the gift that keeps on giving!!

I'm sure that by now Chris is tired of clearing trees and digging ponds. I'm sure he would like to dig up some rocks for a Veterinary Clinic😂😂

Great job on the pond, so much patience!

Sometimes if you slightly overfill the DEF the float in the tank moves the sensor potentiometer beyond it's readable scope and it will show a fault code. Hope this helps.

That is going to be one great looking pond. Great job Chris. God Bless.

How lucky for the new lot owner to have a pond built by let’sdig18👍. Should raise the value quite a bit!!!

Bummer about the 330. Pond is beautiful love the crescent shape. That didn't take long. Have a great vacation and don't spend to much money. ha ha

Please remember that when working below excavator level, eg pulling the slope back on the pond dam, all we see is you emptying the bucket. Nice result though. And we enjoy the process of pond building. Your idea of a 'pond' is our idea of a 'lake'. No problem.

With you talking about the big excavator that reminded me of the pond you built where they brought you a 550 or something like that, it was a demo. Try to show us an update sometime if you can. That was a big job.

It’s always something with equipment. Looking good with the pond

Chris's demeanor is so calm. I'm ticked off because I can't get the bread out of the pan😒

Nice job Chris & team! This will be the best lot!! People that already bought are thinking they should have waited!! 😂😂. If possible, you may have 3 or 4 more small ponds. Each lot being 10 acres sure means there’s enough room if the water is there. Fixing the old 220 is starting to pay off big time right this day!! 😊 You did the right thing! Instead of scrambling to get to another job site, you just drop a gear and jump in the ole 220 and take over where ya left off!! Keeps the client happy (even though Geoff would understand, he would still be a little disappointed) and you, darn near, right on schedule!! 😊 Of course you knew this all along could & would happen. That’s experience for ya!! If there’s no new chance to comment, plus you are likely already in Florida,,,, HAVE A GREAT FRICKIN TIME Chris!!! 😊

Looks a lot bigger than I expected! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👍🏻

Great video! From thorn bushes to beautiful lot.

I hope Jeff appreciates you. That little pond really added value to that lot. It looks great and you did it in good time.

I like the crescent shape, something different. I also like the dozer guy down in the pond pushing material to you, team work !

Great job Chris! It's Beautiful! 😊❤

Welcome to Florida Chris!!! Enjoy your time here.

wow that bucket looks really small now,lol

I swear you build the most smoothest looking ponds around Chris, looks Awesome bud, thanks for sharing an I look forward to seeing the next video 🇺🇲💪✊🤙👌👍

Howdy Chris! Have a good one,take care and God Bless!!!❤😊

Love watching , its going to be beautiful!!

I don’t know anything about the dirt moving business but I always wondered why you didn’t buy a 250 when you bought your second 220.:I always enjoyed watching you running the one your uncle has.

Like the video Chris on this pond .

The bucket heaped up well with the sticky dirt

Disconnect the battery on the 330 it might reset.

I'm glad to see the OG 220 out and doing some ponds and such. It's a great machine.

Nice work today Chris! 👍 A general tip: Mosquito pellets for ponds 👌

Chris the Pond Master. Good work.

You and the 220 have built a few ponds together. Thanks for the video

It’s kinda been customary to do the big Bealy jobs with the old 220😉. It’s still an excellent machine, and still makes money. I can’t remember it ever breaking on you besides a couple blown hoses.

It looks like a pond dam now. Great job. It seems you can't get away from DEF issues slowing you down.

Oh Yeah, That's a nice little pond there Chris !! Came together quick, just like you said, it would !! lolol... Yes Sir, that's gonna set that property off !! Wouldn't be surprised if one of the other buyers of the other properties wants one dug on their lot, when they see that one... lolol... Sucks the 330 went down on ya Man !! Believe ya would have been on the final finish, if it would have kept going !! Oh well, ya got it in the bag now anyways, looking good !! Great as always Chris !! Have a Great Evening, Where ever ya are today !! lolol... And , On too the Next !!

This is the best halftime show today. Sensors, there are the good ones, the bad ones, and even the ugly ones when problems have gotton out of hand. Too bad ya can't just bypass the certain sensor and continue bailing larger scoops. Regardless pond is progressing rather rapidly.

Great video Chris . Large improvement

Hope you link up more of these project so we can watch from start to finish

Very nice,like the size of the pond,make a great focal point on this homestead lot.great video as always.just keep doing what you do best.👍👍👍😎😎😎

Chris, There is an TSB(Volvo) on those DEF problems. advise is to check and keep the DEF tank fully filled. Good practise might be to do that every time you fill the dieseltank

Luckily it wasn’t a bad batch of DEF or most of the equipment would come to a grinding halt on this job site. I’m so happy I don’t own any diesel engines with emissions equipment anymore. It’s just always lurking in the background to ruin your day.

I hope Chris gets a real vacation in, but I doubt it. He seems to mix in work with vacation.

Man that sucks electronics are great till they break down 😢 but your making good progress on the dam

thanks for sharing

I like to see you get you a new excavator like a 336 or something around that size.

It will look great when you you are done with it!

🔥🔥

Def is always a problem ready to happen it could be a tank heater it was cold i bought a scan tool for just that problem DEF great video thanks Chris and Dylan

Yes 2 videos in 2 days

Have a safe trip Chris

Got to love the government juice machines!! They make you almost have to have spare sensors in you truck to keep production going

That is developing into a nice little change of pace pond different from Chris's usual pond builds. Used equipment is always a gamble and so far Chris has been really lucky on the 330. Shouldn't be long and it'll be back on the job.

Taking a scoop with the 220 vs the 330 is like half. Double the work with the 220.. which one cycles faster Chris?

Having listened to the American accent from many parts of your country I find your commentary the most American I suspect my English mind in tune with. Hell yeah! if you'd a mind you could anchor any major TV channel and speak a little truth to how it is. Love that track loader, btw. You and Dillon appear to make a very good team.

Nice video Chris.

A awesome job Chris just love your videos

Sounds like it didn`t take long for the 330 to spoil you on fast digging of material. I`m sure J`man will have it running for you soon.

seems like its always something with those sensors

Was going to send you a can of Pam, you could have Geoff give that small bucket a spray every other scoop to keep the clay from sticking. It would give the old boy something to do.

A shame the 330 broke down...As you say you still have the 220 to keep working...Ponds coming on nicely....Stay safe and see you on the next one.

I think if I ran all this equipment I’d be having the DEF removed, the EGR’s removed, the DPF’s removed and any other emissions related nonsense for that matter.

good pond video

Did the roller get fixed? Thank you and have a wonderful day.

Makes you wonder how you ever got by with only 1 machine. Seems like a person needs a back up for everything

hogging dirt in the 220 i love it god it looks so fast compared to the 330 and the 330 really aint slow also im just talking the hydraulic function speed not the actual digging and efficiency

Awesome video

Not sure what gradation of sand is used for semiconductors, but I know it's in high demand !

Hot soup is goog Retired. Good luck with your future business adventures. Enjoy your work ethics

Just a matter of time before you get a thumb on the big girl!!

Looking good. It's going to be interesting. 👍👍🙂🇨🇦

good job sir, what size excavator do you use?

Job well done 👍🏻

ENJOYED WATCHING THE VIDEO CHRIS 😊

550 and the D7 would have done it in a day 😂

I’ve got 2 questions, 1, which 1 of the 3 excavators is your favorite 2, have you ever thought about deleting the DEF from any of your machines. Don’t say anything that will cause problems

Strangely enough the 330 is now but a 235, oh my goodness mate that's terrible, never mind Volvo too the rescue.😢😮.

LetsDig18!

You can dig as big as the customer is willing to spend.

🙂 Same kinda issues with JD333G, replaced wire harness as warranty then sensor.

DPF and SCR faults are becoming the bane of many industries from your heavy end right down my automotive side. Once again, too much tech causes headaches. Also, so much of it so over sensitive, sometimes you just need a humid day or a frosty morning to trigger codes. Edit: Hopefully, it's just a bad contact at the sensor or a dodgy sensor, not an issue in the PCM or a random crack somewhere in the harness.

We who have subscribed to your channel, I believe most of us anyway, have no Idea what you are doing except your digging a pond in a constantly wet area. But, that's Okay, we just like to watch.

Can never replace the old 229. Maybe an ec380 will serve you better. There’s one in concord for sell with low hours….. just sayin

Looking great going to be nice 👍🏻🇺🇲

Looking great

New microphone is so good it now picks up a seat squeak in the 220… 😮

Maybe I missed it but no core trench on this pond? Is it because of shallow depth?

Yes that is cool Peace out

I am guessing the land will not pass a perc test. What kind of septic system will they be installing?

Something satisfying about watching you run the 220 for us long time viewers. Carry on

But Chris, I saw roots all in the clay you were putting in the dam!?!?

THANKS!

Well i agree with you the clean up bucket does make it nice but you the man that makes it work very well 👍😎🇺🇸 NY

Yes

A 2D grading system would be a nice addition for the dozer and excavator.

Chris, who are these new guys working with you.

I might be wrong but I think the Volvo moves faster then the Hyundai. I know the bucket is smaller.
