The drone shot of you both gives a great perspective of the work. Thanks

The refreshing thing about you Chris is that as talented as you are, you are happy to jump in a mini, or dozer or skid steer and do some of the support work. It's great being the big dog in the excavator doing the money work, but they'd be useless without the delivery and removal truckers, loaders, log haulers, chainsaw gang, concrete drivers etc etc.

I used a Cat 966 with a Rake on it to push it into the excavator. We had a dozer but it was a open cab. Summer time was brutal the loader had A/C and a good stereo lol

That’s right next to my grandparents. It’s Bud Morris Road saw the last video and commented too. Very small world. Would love to meet you one day !

Like you, he is a good operator and you two work well together....great team!

Weather looks perfect for the wood job! Enjoy the weekend guys! 🍻

Chris, I am constantly amazed by your skills. One thing I see Chris do that his buddy doesn't is he creates small piles as he drops the trees with the trucks aligned, which seems to make it easier for the dozer/operator to move them to the burn pile. It is that thinking ahead that makes the difference.

Can know see the 4 bolts..look tighten now. Good job Chris.. Good eye on the one who spotted those bolts loose on yesterdays vid.. Dont kno if they were loose or not but they certainly look different today..👍

You can tell the difference when Chris takes down trees, he folds them in half and stacks them neatly. Then when he uses the dozer with the root rake, you can see the pile “roll” as he pushes it. Usually can push it much further before resetting. Watch the Bealy farm clearing job and you can see the difference.

Hello Chris - your last two videos are very interesting. They show how effective your organized clearing is. Your friend cuts the trees in a disorderly manner, which means that you need a lot more time when pushing with the dozer. Maybe you should tell him to do it like you do, because it's just a lot more effective ^, ^ Best regards from Germany ;-)

It's nice to see how in sync you both are to each other's job. I really enjoy that aspect of teamwork you both show to accomplish a common goal to complete the job.

Just found your videos last week, I really enjoy them. You are talented with those big pieces of equipment and your enthusiasm for your work show in your video's.

Jeez I thought I was going to lose an eye with one of those trees poking me through my screen!

The rake on the digger is impressive! What would happen if you cut out the middle so you could us the thumb? A combination rake and stacker....

Been watching for a couple years improving my skills,,love the over view while both equipment working together

You guys work well together!

If you modify that rake thing a bit so you could use the thumb, it would be awesome brush mover and rake.

Thanks for taking us along for the show.

Hey Chris !! Nice job you are doing here with the help of your Customer !! Think by now that he is glad that you were available to do this !! According to ""TWC"" ,, those 2 storms out in the Atlantic might grow into "HURRICANS"" ,but too early to tell with the dry air hanging on the coast !! Will make it nice to burn all those piles if you get the rain up there !! Have a good week & ""KEEP IT SAFE ""!!!!

I hope we're invited back for burn day!👍

The horses are gonna love their new pasture!

that rake seams to work pretty slick. lots of work to do. keep her rollin. cheers.

Someone please tell me why I like watching these videos. I don't know why but I just can't help myself.

Chris, watching you run the machinery is so therapeutic. I like watching your videos. Nice Job!!!!!!

Every video you show just how much you get done in a day. I am impressed all to hell with your dedication and love your sense of humour. It is obvious you have fun doing so much by yourself. Keep those videos coming they make my day.

Yeah! That rake on the excavator would be a whole lot more effective if it were slightly modified to allow the thumb to be used! It is a neat attachment but could be so much better!

Great video 👍👍

Very impressive rake and y'all work together is awesome excellent work

That is quite a mess to handle without the trees being broken in half.

Great video bro and that repurposed rake attachment is a great way of making do with what you have. Safe travels

Too the Day 2 is clearing to make, and again is the Pinus strobus the great quality. The gigant depots to the wood falling make my anxiety if somebody hav the idea make a fire. This hills with pinientree give a horror fire!!!! The excavator to take to rake is a good idea. Your video again spitz, special the close up to the cutwoodplant. Too the Drohne make good pictures. Hope you make a next video.

Would it be worth notching the top of the old track loader rake so that the thumb could still be used?

I kept thinking that King Kong would've like the excavator rake for a back scratcher. Teamwork makes the DreamWorks!

Now I see why you break trees up so much. That job just looks like a royal PIA!

When we were working with D6 - D7 or D9 international Bulldozer's out in the bush here in Victoria ( Australia ) we had a different type of root rake to what you are using , our's were full rakes & not a solid blade , so that the soil could go through but none of the limbs or stumps could . that way it was more efficient & gave us great land coverage for planting of Eucalypt or Pinus Radiata that were used in the Paper Process Mill's , whilst the Dozer's were moving in a straight line following the contours of the Terrain , we would be sitting in a Tree Planting Machine directly behind the dozer & every 10 ft we would place a small tree by hand & the machine 's rear wheels were placed at an angle to push the soil around the sapling & on we'd go ....

It was interesting to see how the different ways they do things. And that rake!!! Jeeze!!! Whoa! Those piles are HuGe!!! If they're going to be torched, I hope we get to see the burn!

I enjoy watching these you do such an amazing job. I enjoy watching the video's. 🇨🇦

Looks like a few 'easy' trims n still be able to use the thumb as well with that secret weapon!! Keep up the great content

Got to say them are the biggest house I've seen since the one you did in your field at your house them are huge they're going to see that 20 mi away great video

Amazing how much can be done in one day with the right equipment.

You got skills dude. Seriously. Enjoyed the vid Thankyou

The biggest thing here is that Chris is making the most of his time with his 220 being down, using his Dozier here He is paying the bills 😳

And I would really enjoy your thoughts on the older D39 compared to your new “series 23” D39

Going to be a big fire there now 👍👍👍

Ok. I have anxiety watching someone besides Chris run the excavator. As I have told friends of mine. He is just so smooth and methodical. Everything is three moves ahead.

You're going to have to get one of those for your Volvo I can see that coming now. 👍👍😀🇨🇦

Sure make me appreciate how neat Chris does his jobs. I thought everyone did it like he does. He took what his grandpa taught him and improved him talent. Thanks for helping out your friend…you the man!!👍👍😎

I never thought it possible, but it appears there is someone even more meticulous about stacking a burn pile in a specific way than even YOU, Chris!! Hahaha. I’m sure there’s more like yourself than a guy like me knows. Each person has their own style, but some are just more particular it appears. Not everyone wants to put it on video though,,,,,,, heh heh. Thank you for sharing a new perspective, or more so, thanks to your buddy for doing so. It is fun to watch for the similarities and differences!! Hoping the both of you stay safe!!

Just a suggestion. Maybe tilt the camera up a little so we just don't see the blade. Love your channel 👍👍

Love your videos chris!

Your friend must be a man after your own heart - no scratches that I could see on his counterweight! Great video, thanks.

I think Bezos should arrange his next trip up into space when this pile is getting lit and film it on GoPro-the burning spectacle from up there would be epic lol 🔥🔥🔥

If I survive to retirement in LEO work, I want a job doing stuff like this! It looks like an awesome way to earn money.

Sure hope you film these piles being burned. The aerial view sure put the job into perspective. Thanks for sharing

the most badass and terrifying excavator attachment I have seen the forestry rake

Just an idea for you Chris ... You could easily make your own 16 ft rake from a strong ' I ' beam with strong teeth welded to it ... It could easily fit on your trailer ... Big thumbs flying high for you from over here in Ireland ☘️🇮🇪👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️

Boy ! What a difference when you don't break then up like you do Chris. It would make for a much safer cab ride. Not having to look out for those "Cab Jumpers" as I call them. You know the ones that jump up and try to pierce the Cab.

Okay Chris, now that's a fire we need to see!!! 😊

Two words. BIG fire!

Looks great Chris 🇺🇲

I like the rake for the excavator. could have used that around my lot a few times.

You can tell the smoothness of Chris compared to the other guy when operating the excavator

This is going to one big burn pile. Can’t wait for this burn. Enjoyed!!

Chris , you would have had those trees folded in half and neatly piled up 😄

That RAKE attachment is AWESOME

That rake on the 220 looks handy as hell.

That’s going to be one heck of a fire

That was a good Volvo operator. Worked that beast

Those are going to be some epic burn piles. The kind that can be seen from space...

Looking good🥰👍

I’m twenty minutes into the video….let’s see some fire! 🔥🔥🔥🔥

What is your criteria for burning at ground level vs digging a burn pit to collect ashes and debris? Another great example of teamwork. Thanks for sharing this video Chris. Wishing you and your team another great week. Cheers

All that pinewood and needles must smell great!

That has to be the best most versatile dozer ever.

Wow that rake is great ! What an idea. To bad you don't have a swivel head and thus can't push just pull. Might be useful digging and raking. Martin

Good one, Thats a lot of debris for this go around, dig the rake that one looks Mean.

Chris. Need to have AMI make and brand a 72” rake like that that will work with your progressive link thumb to grab he piles and stack them. Guy around here that does sewer work has and old 10 foot graded blade that he uses on his excavator to do final clean up with. Works very well.

I wonder if a skid steer and one of those jaw units might work better, faster? Do they make something like that for a dozer? That rake does a pretty good job.

That is going to be one AWESOME BARN FIRE!!! I'll probably see it from Burlington LOL

Chris, Do you ever take a day off ?. It seems as though you work continuously.

great job buddy and great video as always buddy 😎👊🏻👍🏻

Where and how is john is he still in rehabilitation I bet he is missing his dump truck

I run a 470 with a grubbing rake up here in B.C Canada lots and it’s the only way to go. But our rakes don’t have the bar on top so I can still use the thumb to grab and move lots of logs and debris.

That rake on the excavator works pretty well, but it needs the middle of the brush guard cut out so the thumb can close on it to pick stuff up.

I saw lots of your clips and I like to see the progress, heavy machines, getting stuff done. Just nice and kind of satisfying. Also one witnesses a lot of trees getting cut off. Maybe you could support a tree planting organization of your choice just by adding 5 second advertisement at the end. Just an idea… take good care! Dig on!

Sounds like you guys set up Co-Op for construction work, good on ya if you can make it work . Thats gonna a big burn .

Dangerous work, my friends dad died pushing blow down with an open dozer.

That is interesting. I have an old bucket off a tractor I was going to scrap. But that makes me think about having a welder fabricate a mount to it for my mini.

Yes. I agree with other subscribers, if possible to cut out the upper bar so you could use the thumb, that would be an awesome addition to your equipment.

That rake is Baddass!

Gonna be a big fire

Yea boy get it done

Nice to see "the shits going down" light working on the Volvo LOL!!

A little cutting then some reinforcements and he could use his thumb with that rake. Great work, that lot looks good!

Dude should watch more of your excavator clearing video's.. He gets it done for sure but he could learn a lot. I'm a much better operator today after watching for years.... I used to be him... Always enjoy

Guarantee you 18 will have a rake for his 220 like that soon.nice and fast!! Lol

When u had ur root rake made, was there a reason u didn’t want the tines to come up the blade to help roll the pile as you push and keep the brush OFF THE DOZER?

Easier to manage your piles when trees are broken in half vs full length. Thanks for sharing.

Damn that RAKE works awesome… nice for large stone and stumps… I want one…

Just a thought, would a skidsteer and a rake grapple be quicker and or more econonic?
