Another Round Of Trucks

Love that skid bucket got one myself !

Hey Chris what happened with Monday's and Thursday's vidos..really looking forward for those videos if only did just load trucks..

Volvo👍🙋

Boulders? Those ain't boulders. When the contractor did the dirt work for our new home foundation here in New Mexico we ended up with hundreds of boulders, many over 10 tons each and two at 18 tons each !! They are all still on the property, some as yard art. The big Komatsu struggled but got those two big'uns out.

Love your accent, is it slang here and there? Sounds like a Country Boy from Tennessee if I don't offend you :) irworld.info/show/fy-lm-h-y/p4qBo7eUlKNpp9A.html

just re-watching some of your pond cleaning , Do you burn incense or something to fight off the swamp smell . i think i would have to do something , just glad we have no smell-a- vision . can not be as easy as you make it look ..

Amazed how the paint has been worn off both the bucket and the thumb 13:40 , the underside of the thumb has NO paint

Yeah... watching Chris work around the rocks and boulders and knowing the disorganization of the project coordinator running the show... I think my next question to that coordinator would be where does he want his boulders piled up on his site. Tell him Id be glad to stack them up in the timber or on a corner of his finished grade... his choice. I know a few smart keyboard warriors might say something along the lines of him telling Chris he wouldnt get his draw till they are moved or his job is finished... or something like that. Every sword has two edges. He quality craftsmen that give a damn about your project and are expeditious at making it happen dont grow on trees. I dont know who let the contract on this site... the property owner/investor or the general contractor. Whomever has the cash to do this tries to keep a handful of reliable dirt contractors who have the knowledge, cash on hand and tractor/truck power lined up because they normally do a few of these each year. Point being... the project coordinator who aint coordinating is more expendable that a reliable dirt contractor... unless he us the project owner’s wife’s baby brother... then Chris just needs to wait and load them broke rocks after he moves them 2-3 more times.

Two days since Chris has posted a video

Really Chris no footage for thursdays job , you on vacation? you slacking again , get on it man ! damn !

Hi Chris I no your a busy man ? Is there any chance off follow up photos off the ponds you have finished to see what they look like now thankyou I understand that your busy xx

John sure keeps that company truck nice really neat

Looks like you guys finally got those new side boards put on! Looks nice.

The aboard coke unfortunatly argue because grasshopper additionly damage circa a nine jar. efficacious, learned course

👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🗽🙏🏻 Enjoyed!

Chris: Casually cleans side board with excavator Other operators: Break off all 4 side boards before lunch

Is this operator called Half load harry?

good video

Chris looking good. Thanks for sharing. Kevin

From 13:00, man your placement and speed should be shown in operator schools... nice and smooth...

Dam sweet....looking good if it shows up..to do the rock.... ???

I think you left one little grain of spilled dirt on that truck's wood!!! You are the best!!!

the job site that just keeps giving, expensive piece of real estate

I bet you will be glad to see the back of this job.

How come you dont use a bigger bucket when loading trucks?

I'm shocked about the difference between how we in America load trucks vs how places like India load trucks

I have a question, could anyone tell me if the dump trucks have built in weigh scales, I'm sure I saw somewhere that they have?. Thanks. Great vlog Chris, smooth and fast. Thanks for sharing.

Look Maw no mud. lol

I Take it you Don't encounter them sort of Rocks often if you do wouldn't it pay to have your own hammer on site ??

Progress can finally be seen with at the site. Good job Chris. Take care.

Do you still use Gradall type diggers in the States? It's a type we never had in the UK.

nice💯

Did they ever get the landfill fire put out or is that burning happily ever after since? haha

Whats with the extra axles on the trucks. How do they go around corners? In australia we only have tandem drive 10 wheelers or 12 wheel tandem steers.

you need to get a no teeth bucket

Serious that project must give a hell of lot of Dollars with all these return vids. :D

This job has been going for long enough for people to claim a pension when it ends!

well done today

U and dirt perfect no what to look for when y'all are running the equipment and how to make it look good that is what counts cause u have to make it look good for the people ur doing it for to make them happy and thats what I love about the videos cause y'all take time out of yalls day and show how y'all do it

I find it kind of funny that there's talk about retaining walls and then ship all the rock offsite, some decent chunks there could build retaining walls with ....

Hey Chris ur doing a dam good job there and ur the best equipment operator I've ever seen cause u have a good eye on what u do cause u get on the equipment and look at what needs to be done and do it where its right on spot and that's why I like watching ur videos cause ur dam good at what u do cause I've run equipment before and u have to be good at what u do cause if not u can mess up things and have not right on spot and I watch dirt pefort videos to and he is the same way as u lol but not as good as u thanks bud for letting me watch ur videos and learn everything u do

15:27 thats annoying, why didnt he park like the first one lol

Is that a optical illusion or is the cylinder rod bent?

I will tell you what, I was on a haul off job, and the guy I was hauling off stopped me as I was backing in. He was panicked, He needed to go to the hospital his wife was having their baby a few weeks early. He asked if I would load the trucks for the rest of the day. He had a brand new John Deere 210g. Only 130 hrs on her. He had one of the largest buckets on that machine, and we were excavating a cut where the bottom of the tracks were about 10 feet higher than the top of the bed on the dump trucks. I must say with a huge bucket, I did not like loading trucks that far below me. I felt like I was really dumping huge amount into the bed uncontrolled. It was such a large bucket that it felt like as you stretched out the arm to fill the trucks the excavator was going to end up in the bed along with the dirt in the bucket. Got it done but I just felt uncomfortable all afternoon.

🥱 🥱

👍👍👍

Chris why don't use tractor trailer dump trucks?

That'd make a nice little fishing pond and wading pool now!

How many tons do the trucks carry in a load?

That sideboard sweep...now you're just showing off

Nicely Done!!Cheers!;-)!!

Nice view from the roof 😎😎😉

There are times when I think you need a good medium sized loader. I think at times you could load out a lot faster. And if you had a quick attach on it loading logs and moving some piles would be a lot faster. But not any good in the mud I know.

I bet your dump truck guys like hauling for you! You are a smooth and careful loader! Even easy with the rocks !

Dont forget your rocking stone chair

It is always good to uncle John on the vids.

Question - is the 'drone' monopitch sound from the Volvo's hydraulic pump? If so, are newer ones quieter? I imagine you must wear fantastic ear plugs. Answer in next video, I don't miss any of them.

Maybe we should start a 'comments pool' - like an office pool - & place bids on when rock hammer will show up. Commenter that picked closest time when hammer actually shows, wins.

I do not understand how you can keep the grade, from the top of the dirt pile . It is almost like you have a laser spinning somewhere. I guess it's experience and know-how.

I'd hate to think what that cost instead of surveying for rock and then blasting the whole mess, like a quarry! Now that I think about it, I live in Missouri. Home of Hunt Midwest. I think the own the ketchup, but I know they own the KC Chiefs, an amusement park and a bunch of quarrys. There is a sub division about 3 miles from one quarry built in the 60s that you probably cant find a house in without a cracked foundation. There seems to be a lot of activity your area. I'd hate to take my dog there with the prices they will be charging!

Any thought of getting a hammer attachment for the skid steer?

Seems like an unusual job site , guess as long as your uncle is getting paid it's all good.

Good morning sir. I guess these boulders will be in your nightmares.

You have probably answered this before but usually what happens to all of the stuff you remove ? Is it up to you to get rid of , and it looks good as always .

Hammer time

I love sitting on top of a dirt, load out pile, and slinging dirt!!!!

I sure hope you didn't sign a fixed contract for this project.

Now this is what you would call a lot of dirt & rock removable is all about. Looks good

18:17 after hundreds of several ton (?) heavy buckets Chris still has the light touch to brush off a cup or two of dirt from the truck to not fall on the street. Respect.

I this job site looks like a rock quarry

Did you keep that cool shaped rock from yesterday, that would be great for the corner of a driveway or another border of some kind.

Did you sit on your rock chair to eat lunch

Thats one big job its getting there nice job Chris 😎👍👍

The camera vantage point from 10:00 really shows what you accomplished. You dug a hole in Rock that is now acceptable to construct a building. Wow.

Well since the hammer has not shown up yet you could start busting those rocks up with a pick like back in the old days when the old timers was looking for gold lol

trying to think of something positive, punchy and Polite about the hospital site........ no cant do it....but thnx Chris for my regular morning fix.. ;)

This job is Groundhog Day......

I call that site 'Ol Rocky Top'

I wonder what Chris hates more at this point, rocks or mud?

Man, your work loading up those trucks was orchestral.

This job has been such a great example of how important it is to love what you do every day, but also the value of perseverance when you don't love what you're doing today. Good luck with the hammer tomorrow!

You need to market a Justin bobble head and mount it to a piece of those rocks!!! LOL!!! Dats money dude!!

Do you own one of the dump trucks

Still trying to understand why all the effort to lower the grade instead of just building on top of what was there?

Hold on a second, are we sure this is the right job site? I've only seen dirt being moved.

I keep thinking. I'm so glad you put a rock clause in the contract. Looking good for sure.

Gotta get my starter island, get a little more here... oh there's somebody on this one, not anymore heh heh heh

Chris I would hire on the spot you rock my friend

That site will look great.....in your rear view mirror.

Why can you not put more dirt in the truck that has 5 axles?

Chris didn't this fiasco start off as your own job? Your equipment and all?? Not saying you couldn't handle it!!!! But hell seems like a butt F job if I seen one

What difference from when you started this Rock hole ! Thumbs up Chris.

This place ROCKS!

Back at the Rock Quarry for the 37th time.😬👍 More Time spent here than any Other Job, Ever.👍

Loading trucks is always fun!

Beautiful sunshine makes everything look better. We sure got a better view of the surroundings from your perch.

Silly question, why don't you have a loader to do these big piles with? Wouldn't that be faster?

Maybe they could have found a different to build a different sight to large building other then a stone cliff.

How can anyone afford to build on this site,so much work to clear all the rocks,does cost of clearing and getting to grade included in contract?

Just commenting for the algos.
