Don't you just love it when it all starts out as chaos, a awful mess and a big bonfire, then the magic begins

That’s going to be a good sized pond when it’s finished. I don’t recall ever seeing you work along side loggers like this before but you sure are making the job easier on them.

Being able to see skilled operators going about their everyday business is a pleasure. Team work to the max always makes difficult tasks seem simple. Drone shot of the proposed pond with all the trees cleared gives a picture of the future shape.

Team work makes the dream work. Always been impressed with watching him with the Dangle head.

Thank you Chris, for taking us along on video number 3 for this, "pond build" that is currently in the "clearing" stage.

Watching your vids makes me miss my lumber yard days. The sounds of breaking trees, logs, the sound of the machine and the hydraulic noise and the clunking around from moving beast of a machine. The sound of pure happiness to me.

When that JD skidder comes in with that throaty bellow... chef's kiss...

About 30 years ago, I ran across a logging operation in Alabama, where they had a 6'x6' gate they would push trees through to remove limbs. This was for pine that was no larger than 40" at the base. It amazed me at how easy it was to clean an entire trunk in minutes.

Going to make a great addition to this farm. Irrigation potential, recreation and a bunch of great videos. Thanks for sharing.

Saw a familiar face over at beally farms the other day ,getting ready to clear a homesite for a good size house.know nothing about logging but that looks like a lot of work for the rewards you get on this particular piece of property.great job as always,by all,each person knowing what’s expected of them.kudos to you,just keep going for it.👍👍👍😎😎😎🌲🌲🌲

It’s amazing how different logging operations are throughout the United States. Here in East Texas you use big hydro ax feller bunchers that can just choose through about 10 acres of overgrown material or up to about 15 acres a day of plantation. I just had 88 acres done here at the house pretty thick hardwood all in the 24 inch range red oak and there’s probably not many stops that are much taller than your ankle. Soon as I hit the ground, there were big Timberjack skidder’s taking them up to a central de limbing location just some minor cleanup with a few skid steers, and 99% of these stumps I can mow over with the 20ft shredder on his tiptoes.

Love getting my daily dose of LetsDig18! The aerial drone shots at the end really sums up the work we watch from the cab of the excavator. Can't fully appreciate it till you get that final perspective from the air. These videos have become a daily activity for me. Can't get enough.

Chris that going to be a nice pond when you get it dug out and completed. Looking forward to watching you work on it.

Some very different Letsdig18 videos! LetsLOG18! 😂 I bet this was really fun for Chris to get into a different mode working directly with the grapple in the way it was truly designed for. It’s great for loading logs, but this is some real challenging work! I hope it’s been great for Chris. Sure is great watching for myself and others who have said so!! This project is going to be interesting all the way through!! I see some really ugly mud in Chris’ future!! 😂😂😂. Thanks, Eh Chris!

Loved watching you & Kevin work together and I really appreciate your situational awareness while watching Kevin saying, "Uh oh, Hope he doesn't get stuck over there..." and then immediately helping him extricate himself from that situation before he did get stuck. The property looks really nice and is a great place for a working pond. Thanks so much for sharing this with us. Can't wait for the next installment.

It is amazing the progress that the Logging Industry has made in the last fifty years with the way that they cut trees and process the wood. The person sorting and cutting to length, the logs, knows what they are doing. The end product can make the job profitable or failure depending on the saw handling experience. Chris does an excellent job of stacking trees so the they can be dragged out to the deck with the skidder. Job well done and I pray for safety to be #1 priority 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻Amen!!!

Nice job, fun to see the logging operation from literally a front row seat. Thanks for the update young man.

The drone shots at the end really do show how much you moved… Spectacular video Chris

Haha, that ain't a deer stand, it's a deer condo. My, that's fancy.

The way this pond is going to shape out will probably be one of the best ones you’ve done this year!

Very cool. I've never seen two thirty ton ladies dancing before and it was a good day.

Logger LD18 I see a new channel in the making

This is just the beginning of another MASTERPIECE. Thank you for taking out a few stumps with the grapple, didn't know if it was possible( what am I saying, anything is possible, while you have the machine).

You Guys got it opened up pretty good now !! Man there is going to be a lot of shit to pick up and burn. All the vines and tops, an stumps, I think your going to end up with a few big piles to burn. But, you got a big dent in it now, shouldn't be much longer before your done with that part anyway !! Great as always Chris, Have a Great Evening, And, On too the Next !! Was a bunch of damn vines in that little patch of woods , wasn't it ... Looks like it's going to be a pretty nice pond site, looking at the last drone shot !!

That's some high-level problem solving there in the woods. 👍 Thanks for the video!

Sad, all the trees gone.

EXCELLENT… You can Now see what the pond should look like with the drone still at the end..!!! 👍👌

Boy that will be a picturesque pond. Good aerials Chris. thank you.

Some very cool drone shots. That is going to big and interesting pond. Thank you and have a good day.

Those last drone shots say it all!

Y'all work well together... fun to watch.

You would think with all the wood pellet factories Chris would be able to get rid of the treetop. Our government pays a subsidy these factories to process them.

Cool seeing all the attachments out here and you get to play with them all. One big sandbox to play in.

wonderful to see the cutter at work! Good content as usual.

Tree top is good road laced back and forth. lots of little branches spreading the load.

Almost like a rerun of the Bealy Good Farm logging to dig a pond. Thats a lot of tree cutting in a short time of days - not weeks.

Thanks Chris for the Clearing Video!!👍👍

Man that pond is gonna lay in there awesome, gonna be a beautiful spot with the wheat surrounding the pond, thanks for sharing an I look forward to seeing the next video 🌲💪🇺🇲🤙✊👌

Excellent team work Chris. The grapple is getting a good workout 😊

Giddy Up - move them out ! The Wood has to go and more Trees to come down ! Timber ! Great watching the whole Process ! Great Drone View and many Cheers from Australia !!!!

I understand your concern about the skidder. We were logging our land in Arkansas last Fall and with all the leaves and pine straw holding moisture in the ground, once the skidder started breaking thru all they were doing was fighting stuck equipment and COMPLETELY destroying the ground. Better to work around or wait than to fight that war.

Watching team work. 😮

Mr. Chris and his “din din”. The claw on your excavator reminds me so much of logger wades rig, I enjoyed this one, appreciate you!

In California trees a super tall, like 200 feet plus some as strait as a arrow. Lots Douglas firs , it seem the Govenor rather see it burn instead harvesting the woods. Problem with California there's to many invirmental problems.

Love watching your videos, I’ll not watch for few days just so I have 3/4 to watch in a row 😆 👌🤘🤘

Well at least you only have a few acres to stump . Compared to other pond sites

Job well done 👍🏻

Hey Chris, I’m sorry if you’ve explained this before & I’ve missed it, but was that low area ever an old pond site left to grow or just an area that was never used due to being low? Cheers Darrtoo 👍🏻🍻🇦🇺⛳️😎

Awesome. A new video!!

Looking good!😊

weird how the logging cutter head hangs free like it does

Great upload Chris thanks

Nice work !😊

Great team work👍👍👏🏻👏🏻

Coming along nicely Chris 👍👍👍👍👍

Thanks Chris , great job 👌😎🍺🍺

Drone really puts the perspective on how big the pond is once it’s been cleared

Amazing to see the team work here... like ballet with 25 ton machines. The bark just falls off in the spring too!

LOOKIN' GOOD, NICE WORK, KEEP SAFE AND WELL...

THANKS!

Logging and clearing but the best is yet to come stumping Chris you look like your getting well prepared for that great job great video thanks

so enjoyable watching two good operators play pass the parcel one way of moving a lot of timber Cheers

Looking good chris 👌 59:25 ❤

A very interesting Video from much Stations to take shoot. This great Areal with much Trees to cut and then all Stumping!! Before the Areal is clean, and You can beginning with the Pond building. A very interesting Video Time come for Your Fans. 👍👌💪🤗🥰

Great video bro and some pass the parcel, well trees in this case along the way. Sure made for great viewing. Safe travels

Incredible 😊😊😊

This will be a cool video series. Looking forward to end product.

Pretty slick operator!! 🙂

Your buddy slayed the place!

Pretty good team work.

Wow one inattentive moment and your buying a new front window.

You’re going to spoil that skider operator getting all of those trees moved so he can just grab & go. He’s not used to that. Nice video keep on keeping on.

bloody hell Chris you've got some work to do on this site busy busy...

Funny what Chris called a creek, we wouldn't call anything that small as more than a run in Ohio. The creek that runs thru the farm has a flow of ~125cfs to over 3000cfs depending on where and how much rain fell. Odd that they only saw one Black Walnut. Normally if there is one, there are a lot more in the area. The woods in our area of Ohio are full of them and when ours were last cut, one tree brought the second highest price per board foot ever in Ohio up to that time.

I can’t get over how green the country looks compared to the majority of Australia

Awesome, team work!😂

Would love to do a ride along on his cab while he processes the tree's.

What you're calling swamp is nothing compared to the loggers in West Virginia they'll go through mud 3 to 4 ft deep and keep on going you are right though then log skidders they are powerful they will go places you would never think of and I don't blame you if they can use the wood for something that is less work for you no doubt

I've always thought you need an attachment that looks like a claw hammer or nail puller to pull stumps.

neat-o project!

Unreal the speed that chainsaw operates at, great team work, arm chair ride for the skidded operator.

Nice viedo!

nice job man

Certainly interesting way of doing things. In EU we process wood in the cutting place and then decide what to move out.

:) looking good Chris :)

Logger Wade....would be proud!!

Does this mean you're a swamp logger now😂😂😂

It's that time of year when the bark peels like a banana!

good video

LetsLog18!👍😊

Nice job Cris the pond is gonna look great and I sure am liking the awesome new truck you got congrats on that ray from Oregon

I know you probably have but I don't remember you using logging individuals to assist in removing andvprep for hauling lumber logs. I can't wait to see it cleared and pond building.

Kicking a$$ on that job!

Looks like a lot less stumping to do compared to Bealy Good pond. This one will go just smooth as Kentucky bourbon.

Looks like better to mulch that stuff, in my area horse owners love that stuff, it sells quickly.

I enjoyed the longer video

👍👍👍

❤❤❤

Videos are always great. I especially like the music with your drone shots, rockin out! Might I ask who it is?

👍🏻👍🏻
