Old 220 and Chris, just like two ole friends working together knowing they can depend on each other and enjoying the journey along the way. Thanks for the update young man.

It’s good to see you smiling and relaxed Chris, doing a job and enjoying it! Not good to be in a hurry and stressed out my friend! Ole Volvo 220 still handles everything like the first day you got her! You’ve always maintained your equipment properly and hourly! 👍🏻

Cool stuff. Looking forward to seeing some pond rehab. Enjoyed watching ✌️ 😎

Definitely satisfying to hear the crunch of the bucket going through the tree trunks!😂

I like these little pond restoration jobs! Have a good one Chris,take care and God Bless!!!❤😊

That old brush pile is a snake hideout,

Nostalgic: original 220 and Barney teaming up on a project to end the year! 2024 is going to ROCK!

Beautiful piece of property.

You always explain what you’re going to do then you do it. I find time to watch all your videos. You do good work and you stay humble. Best operator on KZfaq. Hope 2024 is an even better year for ya Chris

Thanks Chris. I appreciate this video journey. Trusting that you and your family enjoyed a restful Christmas holiday. Wishing you and them a blessed new year. Peace brother

That's gonna look so nice when you are done. Hope you don't get swamped during the dredging. Hope Christmas was all you wished it to be. Thanks for sharing, Chris.

Nice to feel the two old friends working on the farm. Variety makes the days go quicker.

Chris doing what he loves best. Looks good and will be more functional when finished.

What a lovely way to pay the bills - a old pond restoration project. "old" 220 at it as well with Barney to assist. Trust you had a great Christmas and a couple of day's break.

So you never have a dull moment, eh? Hope you have ha a great Christmas Chris.

I’m an ag pilot, so I know all about hand eye coordination. But your bucket and boom, are obvious extensions, and it mesmerizes me to watch it as I see the beauty of it

Glad to hear the Timber again! love the snap crackle and pop. too

Merry Christmas Chris, awesome to see you fixing another farm pond up, Chris is fixing 1 farm pond at a time, thanks for sharing an happy holidays Time to rub the rust off the tilt bucket bud

Hope you had a nice relaxing Christmas and can't wait to see all of your projects in 2024.

Good morning everyone I hope you all enjoyed your day and holiday with your ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

I like watching this type of work way more than the dirt moving. Man I was getting real tired of the day after day dirt moving on the last project!

It’s good to restructure a pond dam before it fails! Very good decision for the farmer! 👌🏻 Plus you can inspect this dam while you’re adding material to the back slope!

Just cleaning up the back of the pond dam improves the look.

Nice seeing another project starting.

Interesting to see how having the off road truck has changed the way you can handle clearing trees/brush.

Happy New Year, Chris! And on behalf of all of us, your viewers, thank you for another year of interesting and entertaining projects you have shared with us. And we look forward to the challenges yet to come! Have a happy and prosperous year!

Thanks 👍👍👍👍

THANK U CHRIS.. KEEP THEM COMING!!

Always enjoy the farm projects you get hired to do!! Like going old school again!!

From the looks of the erosion at the spillway he needs a bigger overflow pipe. A truck load of riprap should do the trick though. This project shouldn’t take you very long. Thanks for another entertaining video Chris.

good morning from stormy Queensland Australia.. Chris I hope you enjoyed a couple of days rest after the marathon on the deep pond.. looking forward to more great videos in 2024, getting it done!

Love those video And Remember this place to .

Looks like its going to be a good job. And you've already made a good start in it. Stay safr!

That’s a good little quiet place to work

Glad to see you starting on another pond job,at least a smaller one.good video,couple days work you accomplished quite a bit.👍👍👍😎😎😎

Very inspiring and useful Excellent...Greeting from Indonesian traditional gold prospecting 🇮🇩🌼🙏👍👍

Lookin' good! You always get the coolest work.

Good morning my friend,have a good one ☝️ ❤😊

I’m sure the ole grading bucket will make an appearance on that pond edge .

Happy to see you in the CALM zone, Chris! That last project, and leased hall truck and most of your other equipment.....with STEEP banks ....had me holding my breath too. 😉

Been watching for at least 8 years, love your work and work ethic,my Question is in 2024 what new equipment are you hoping to buy ,thanks Happy New year

Good evening Chris hope you are having a good Christmas. Regards Richard 🇬🇧

Goats will maintain anything you got.

I like these projects.

Merry Merry Merry Christmas

Hello Mr Chris , hope you and your family had a blessed Christmas.

With all the rain we got in the last 2 days you don't have to worry about the fire getting away.

Nice little project thanks for sharing 😅🎉🎉😅 happy New Year!!!

That's a nice new pond. It looks like you've been there before clearing out the edge and I don't know it looks familiar, but maybe not. Looking forward to the rest and that fire. 👍👍🇨🇦🙂

Yikes, lots of soaking rain today and yesterday

Job well done 👍🏻

Hope your Christmas went well for you. Your terminology referencing this as a small pond had me in stitches.Nice to see you back again. 🎅🎚️😂

It's always nice to see you back in your element. That last pond build was awesome, but now you're back where you seem most comfortable. Things move at a much faster pace on these farm pond rebuild/restore, which is easily more engaging for you and your audience. As always, looking forward to seeing this project take shape!!!

Nice little pond. Looking forward to see the outcome! 🙂👍👍👍🎄🚜

Happy New Year to you and yours Chris! The Ole 220 was pretty noisy in this video, maybe we should call it Ole Clanky lol. This is a nice project to work on after the last huge one, something a bit more normal lol.

No other way for a property owner looking for a fix to their pond but to call the Pond Master. The old 220 needed to be put on a job and get a work out - blow the carbon out of the engine and exhaust - exercise the hydraulic system. Hope Christmas was good for you.

Whole-lee-cow! That's an operator. We couldn't see it, but working them slopes with that 20t class unit 😱

Chris, thank you for making the world a better place with every Sweetgum tree you remove. As a barefoot child, I hurt my feet many times on Sweetgum balls. Hope you had a wonderful Christmas.

Sounds like the old 220 could use some new bucket pins. Love your work, every project comes out looking beautiful.

Ironically in your last video with the massive damn you mentioned that you hoped to return to 'a smaller pond project due to the coordination of a larger project'. here it is! Thoroughly enjoyed the start of this project! Look forward to the transformation of what it may become!

Great! I love watching you on pond jobs!

New tracks sound much better on that machine. Best regards from Indiana.

When you are digging tree with large root mass off of pound damn do you ever worry that the damn could fail or start leaking I know in this case you adding more to the damn

Looking good already. Love the old pond restorations. Can’t wait to see the next video.

Great to see you back on the old 220 but there is a pin or something making a very loud noise. The new under carriage sounds really good bub.I love these projects like this .

I love the way you make the old neglected ponds better than when they were first built. 🐱

Yeah, this is a nice job.

boom mic, we have the technology...beats having to talk over your machine

Top of the season to you and your Family Chris. Thanks for this video.

Another pond project to look forward to bro although mainly just a tidy up it still will be great viewing. Happy boxing day up your way. Safe travels. Ken.

I am looking forward to this one!

Chris, I hope You and Yours had a Merry Christmas. God Bless and keep the great videos coming. Clearing the brush made 100% improvement. The thumb is a lifesaver.

Love your content! Have a happy New Years coming up!

Have a great Evening, And, On too the Next !! Hope you had a Great Christmas !! And, On too the Next !!

It feels good doing farm work because you feel that you're helping someone continue to make a living and make it easier to do. Other type of work, while good and sometimes necessary is more for people's pleasure. People either tend to forget or never learn that work that makes you feel good about yourself is what it's all about. You can make all the money you want but, if it's just greed work, so to speak, it' harder to feel the satisfaction of a good day's work.

It is going to be interesting to see what you are going to do with the rip rap. Thank you and have a good day.

Brilliant 🤩 😊😊😊😊

Hi Chris this look's like it's going to be a sweet little job, I hope you had a good Christmas.

Looking good so far 👍😎🇺🇸 NY

This little pond project is going to be nice Chris.

You forgot to mention the roller, skid steer, rukus rake as equipment for the job. ;) guess you will be setting up the siphon before you start adding soil, so you have a waterless area to fill and compact to put the in overflow extension.

Glad to hear you are in you're Favorite type of work in other wise This job will be a fun job site I know it may sound bit odd but Myself I like to hear the sound of Nose the machine is making when Doing this kind of work

No that backslope would’ve been a mile outward from the bottom of the dam! lol 😂. Only way to get a good slope mowable! 😂
