Chris, been watching you for a few years now. It's been an education, to say the least. I have enjoyed every video i have seen. They are informative, have clean language, and an artistic element You finesse the various controls (doesn't matter which piece of equipment) without appearing to think about it. Yet, the final outcome is always flowing & beautiful. I'm having a day of digging in the dirt, with Chris. It is good medicine. Ever notice on a rough day you can dig in the dirt a couple of hours & your mood or troubles don't seem so overwhelming anymore? I'm stuck living on town, now but i still keep a bare patch of dirt to walk out to & stand barefoot in it while i have a cup of tea or coffee. Makes all that stress & anxiety flow right out, and gets relpaced with calm, peaceful well being. Back to benging. Have a wonderful day.❤😊

Geoff is easily one of the luckiest homesteaders in America to have a contractor like Chris working on his homestead projects. Finding that topsoil was definitely a big plus for him. Like Chris said, half the cost is a huge plus. Can't wait to watch the basement dig and Chris using it to level the roads. Should be a nice Sunday lunch time episode. Walnut waffles with real Maple syrup. Made on my new double sized multi use panini grill for lunch tomorrow. While watching the latest Chris Letsdig18 and Bealy Good farm episode. It came with 3 sets of removable plates. Waffles is one set.

That was a good deal ya found that topsoil back there on that roadway, where ever you can save a bit always works !! Great as always Man !! Have a Great Evening, And, On too the Next !!
Hi Chris I’m glad to see the new excavator A.K.A. Brutus is working out for ya hope to see more of Brutus
And good morning to you too Black gold it is - could do with some. Pond reflections are so beautiful and ever changing - Bealy Good home is in an ideal spot for this. Both excavators are a pleasure to watch at work.
Never waste time. Things moving right along. Looks so nice😊😊
Good setup for the camera at 17 min. Right above grade, where we can see the process. Good decision!
Top soil is a valuable commodity. Chipping trees is a good way to have materials to build top soil.
New shovel looks nice.
I'm waiting for the day Mr perfect shows up to try out the big machine!
You moved a lot of dirt on this day.Jeff should be happy.good video.just carry on with what your doing.👍👍👍😎😎😎
You're going to have to teach Geoff's chickens about crossing safety. 2:58
Topsoil is 12 to 18 inches thick what a strike .
I've already started putting comments on AMI KZhead videos that Chris needs a big, free Bucket! Lol. I think a little bigger AMI LD18 bucket would look sweet on it.
Another great video! Thumbs up! Look out basement - here he comes!! Stay safe! Jim
Chris said earlier he wasn’t gonna put a thumb on the Hyundai 330, but I wager that within 9 months, it gets an AMI thumb similar to his Volvo 220’s
I bet he don't the big one is for digging dirt not picking up sticks
Would a 4.2 cubic foot bucket fit on your new Hyundai 330 excavator? If so that might be a good size to go up to since you might need a larger bucket for some jobs. Out of curiosity how much dirt is mixed with the ashes when you bury them?
Big Brutus not scared of getting dirty with ash!
I can’t tell you how much I enjoy your videos
If its saving him that much, I'd be tempted to clear another row of trees and take another strip of topsoil out from beside that path.
Seeing you grade that track from a low angle really shows the cuts from your perspective. That first ditch cut then back to the start to build up the level👍
Our 'top' soil is 20 to 30 feet. And the trees and grass love it. But it gets soggy and has enough clay and sand to make it interesting.
I can't wait to see the new stumper on the new machine taking down some big trees.
Looking forward to seeing you dig the foundation even tho Jeff kinda messed it up showing it done. Has your pond filled up? Stay safe
I almost jumped out of my seat when you tagged the track with the bucket tooth at 10:55. Close one lol I wonder what damage would be done to the rig if a tooth got hung in the track?
I can set watch you work all day Chris it almost hypnotizing to see how smooth you are running your equipment. And a big LD18 decal would look great on the boom behind the Hyundai decal.
I think a big decal needs to be placed on the counterweight.
Hey Chris !!1 Does that Fuel Trailer have a "Power Inverter "" on it so you could bring your "Shop Vac. "" to clean the inside of the Equipment ??? Great that you were able to find "Top Soil "" in the area !!! Surprising with ALL the trees that was on Geoff's farm that wasn't more good soil there !! 🤔🙄👍👍👍👍👍
Pine trees do not create good topsoil.
Job well done 👍🏻
You look good operating that new machine Chris.
I'm glad Bealy let you and your dog Duke hunt his land for food, you also errently hit some black ash gold, Texas Fly Ash Tea. Well the 1st thing you know, Bealy is a black soil slumlord millionaire. Some kin-F's said, "Bealy, move away from there, Crabwell Corners is the place you ought to be." So Bealy loaded up the side by side and moved to: Bugtussle, Snyder's Swamp, or Stankwell Falls?
Are there plans to remove the older road that goes across above the pond now that there will be one down each side?
Hey Chris been watching your videos for years always wanted to know way you don’t have to do erosion control in your line of work. We work in Wake, Johnson, Durham Chapel Hill and if you clear more than acre you have to have erosion plan slit fence , slit ponds etc.
Different rules for farms it's not required
Mr B can give the pit a year, then have it dug up & spread during the wet season. Of course that means more work for you...
I wished that you would have tracked down to the pond and experimented with the Hyundai window washer system.
wood ash is good for fertilizer spread over clay
Giving the NEW toy a little workout!
1 thing about watching your videos you better stay on your toes. I noticed that the 330 is missing a mirror. Looks like AMI would cut you some slack on the Thumb, I mean, look at how much business you have sent their way, like Geoff said you have been a spokesman for different companies.
Looking much better at lot of good dirt to get done
Chris great video! Thanks for sharing! Kevin
That Hyundai is faster than I thought...and I have my speed on normal😎 Good video. 👍
Comeing along nicely
always interesting work Chris, enjoyed watching, thanks for sharing...
Wow that a nice project. Thanks for sharing!!!🎉🙂👍. Qwick question about this expo un Kentucky, can u tell me the dates and send me the link for info about it.
Enjoyed the ride Chris
Very pretty Pond
That place is starting to look great.
thanks for sharing your video
Great video as always bro and ya got the new toy dusty so it's officially part f the team now. Safe travels. Ken.
Morning everyone i hope that you are having a good weekend ❤❤❤❤😂😂😂😂😂
Good job, Chris
excellent video. I noticed when you were loading soil with the volvo (5.02Minutes) is there a crack on the right side of bucket
Thank you and have a wonderful day.
Thanks Chris 👌🍺🤗
Good job Chris
Great job from California 😊
The Lord works in mysterious ways 🙏 & Provides. ❤Now Let's Dig 18,,,Thanks Again my friend 😊
Striking gold black soil good looking dirt right there we also got a bit of gold with some more footage of the 330 doing its thing definitely an added bonus there she seems nice and smooth to operate properly the better choice in long run as you would have been able to pick D P s knowledge on the Hyundai's good and bad of them thanks for yet another video Cheers
That is good looking top soil.
THANKS!
Within a year.... Bigger bucket and thumb on the Hyundai. Clearing tree's twice as fast on bigger projects. Still wondering why you needed a bigger excavator on this job, waiting for the next video's. Keep them coming!
