Building The last Section Of Road Through The Woods

Amazes me how delicate you can be with that thing, picking up that fabric was a joy to watch. Do you think you can pick up an egg without breaking it?

There are machine operators then you have letsdig18 and Chris it absolutely fascinates me to see how you can chop and change from one machine to another but to watch you on the komatsu dozer is mesmerising and how the hell you build a roadway, unfortunately on a flat screen you have difficulty seeing the gradient your putting into the road but they all turn out great, even the city dam rebuild had me captivating how you went from hardly anything of a dam to another fantastic job where you think of how tidy it looks the spill way and to is it good enough so they can mow the gress and keep the area neat and tidy and as you would like go see it, thank's Chris this is another fantastic video.

I like this type video, all work, no loud music, just smooth machines doing what they were made for with good operators. Well done!👍👍👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Hands down this is one of my favourite youtuber collaborations. Thanks Chris and Brandon for the fun videos.

Too Bad there aren’t a Lot more Conscientious Contractors like you around the Country. 👍

Brandon’s great at lubing things up and getting the job done 😁

Was admiring how you dumped the loads of clay spaced out so you wouldn't have to do tons of extra dozing when spreading out. Perfect example of that saying "work smarter, not harder". Well done.

When you're loading & driving, do you ever give a "beep" to the truck diver, then think "oh yeah, that's me too"? :-)

I'm not a get rich kind of guy so there's no doubt in my mind that I would've enjoyed working with Chris for years of my early 20's! Instead I spent it working in a gypsum open pit mi b e running a 988G in boredom. Keep up the good videos 📹 👌 👍 👏

Having all that clay available on most of your jobs is a real benefit. It allows you to build a stable and strong base without using too much crushed rock.

Your a very skilled operator who uses their time wisely. Makes me want to go get on some machinery and move some dirt. Some may think this is boring to watch, but if you pay attention you can pick up on things. 🚜

Man, that little dozer never breaks a sweat. It quietly just keeps chugging along, no matter what the load.

Now we’re talkin ! 👍🏻 Look at Brandon swinging heaping buckets! Yeah baby 😎

Pleasure to watch you work.

I'm glad to see that you make the effort to skim off all those roots, logs, branches etc... buired in the soil to put to put down a good base even though it means hauling more base material. Shows a pride in your work that unfortunately not a lot of contractors would care about these days. Mostly you see people getting by, by doing the least work for the most money they rob you for shoddy work. Keep up the great work ethic.

The cozy thing about such a dump truck, is that the feeling when you turn is something comparable to driving a boat.

OMG there was a couple of "That's What she said" moments in this video... LOL .... You do great work Chris, Thanks for sharing with us your content..

Wow what a close up shot of the dozer. Thanks Chris.

I have enjoyed seeing my 2 favorite channel’s that do this type of work teaming up together.

Almost done and Brandon's a great help!

that road certainly looks better than the road in front of my house. our potholes have potholes

not sure if you let this go to your head or not, but you are the best operator I have ever seen, thats for sure

I have a 2.2 mile driveway up a 5000 foot mountain on volcanic bedrock that needs work. No trees, just sage brush. Bring it on !

That road through the woods is beautiful!

Amazing how you operate the bucket to pull the screening up like that without tearing it.

Masterful.. great work !!

NICE JOB WELL DONE LIKE ALWAYS.

Dream team at work. 😁 Another top video and great camera settings! 👏☺️

I liked how you explained what and how you do your job , it clears up some things i didn't understand .

Hi from the UK. Really impressed how well you finished off that city pond job yesterday. Pity everyone doesn't go out of their way to do a good job like you.

It’s always nice to watch a good dozer operator

Do you do enter those contests where a guy places a beer bottle on to of the other and them places a golf ball on top of the beer bottle? Bet you would win that one!! How about making the machine walk on the side of a "made side of a building" You are really good at what you do!!

I just discovered these videos I love them it’s relaxing to watch you work I find myself leaning into what your trying to do thank you

Beautiful earth where you are, it reminds us of Prince Edward Island dirt here in Canada.

That haul truck don't have a phone charger?!? That's essential equipment for a truck driver! Trade it in.

Thanks for explanations and great video as always

Awesome job!!.. you can be real productive when you have two skilled operators on the equipment!.. keep up the great work!

Road is almost done. The clay sure packs well for the private road. No heavy trucks will travel often to cause swells or ruts the the main driveway. Such a long driveway will be a challenge when there is a heavy snow. I can believe the owner with deep pockets must be prepared for such an occurrence. It is a great visual experience to see how well you do your jobs.

to you and me this would be a walk in the park. 35 plus years and you learn a thing or two. nice work chris.

I have been watching you for sometime and I get a impression that this is not just a job that you really enjoy what you are doing.

One hand on the wheel and the other on your phone , so that's what they call it these days. I remember when it was called co,,, um never mind. Your holidaying guest seams to be good at most thing including lubing up, a good bloke to have around I would say. Stay safe up there y'all.

That boss guy won't let you get use all that free time!

No playing on your phone when you are standing on top of the off road truck getting great video footage 👌

Very impressed with your skills snd commitment to doing things right. Well maintained equipment keeps down time to a minimum.👍 Been watching your channel for a couple of months now, find myself looking forward to each new video. All the best from Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Ok...I’ve watched you for a while now, and I see your a really good operator. But when you used the thumb and bucket to pick up that road fabric, you just went to the the master level!!!! Wow sir! I bet you could pick out fishing worms and put them into a jar! 😁

More super work Chris - that's one heck of a long road! Have to wonder with the scale of the job just how much it'll all cost!

Your a born operator Chris, nice to watch a guy that knows how's how to run his equipment. Alot of people jerk the controls and it's like come on man. Lol😂👍🥇🇺🇲

Nice job! Too bad not everyone does it like that. Roads would last longer with no sinkholes and ruts.

Good video Thanks for share !!! hi from Bogota Colombia

Nice work Sir, you have the eye for proper leveling techniques.......

I wish I could be there helping you Chris, I’ve driven plenty trucks and run a lot of equipment on the farm in years past! Good video brother!

It’s like you are playing with (BIG) Tonka Toys - with skill & a plan! Very nice job! Marcus from Chesapeake VA.

thanks for sharing the video

Hit the zerks with some contrasting spray paint so the help can easily spot the grease points. If any are hard to spot, mark a visible area so they know to look 'around there'.

Hi from North Wales UK

I like the 220 but the 250 is a beast, I love watching you on the 250 clearing house lots! Even if it’s small stuff, you operate your machines like a surgeon! Even under cutting this road, the 250 works so smoothly with you brother!

Love your vids man keep up the good work.

Did I see a scuff mark on the counter weight on the Volvo ,if so just blame it on Brandon.you are working that man when he goes back home he won’t know what to do,with all new stuff he’s learned from you.lol great video 😎😎😎👍👍👍

Great job Chris 👍👏👏👏👏🇬🇧🍺

Looks hella good Chris.

Here I thought at the end of the video you were going to say Brandon and you were going to lunch. A lot of progress in the video. Love the bulldozer roof view.

Really cool camera tonite !

An important part of getting a seamless finish in the final surface is having clearly defined margins between each part of the process - this is clearly evidenced in the first few minutes of the video - well done all.

Hello from the Barossa valley in south Australia, great channel chirs

Your skill in operating different equipment to a high level is impressive. It's hard enough to be able to operate one machine, let alone the amount you can operate, mini excavator, large excavator, dozer, roller, front loader and JCB type back hoes. And the speed at which you do it, is breath taking.

Really enjoy watching your videos - the 'dozer work near the end of this one was excellent - good work ! You'd do a great job making new railway formations with your high standards. All the best to you and Brandon. From me in Dorset county.

Love the video Chris and Brandon , wen you got a man like Brandon with experience , you go a long way On job .

Man, I hope you've got a good suspension seat on that dozer. Everytime I see you backing up, the vibrations must be a spine destroyer ! Mine, 68 y.o. hurts for you ! 😰 PS The shot you did on Brandon, operating the excavator, gave us a good look of the 260 size. Man, that machine is huge !! The bucket too, Impressive !

Nice job Chris

Brandon you are gonna hate the next big job you do at home with your excavator. Its gonna feel like dipping teaspoon fulls. Great job yall

Your skills are admirable. It's amazing how you can keep on grade.

nice lookin team right there. love watching

You can tell Brandon is your love and running at 250 and the off-road truck hell Chris you need to talk him into coming to work for you and John, lol. I don’t think Brandon‘s wife would like that though but anyway brother you and John and Brandon and yawls family y’all stay safe and another great video and keep them coming brother

Great Job.

I really like your videos keep doing a good job

Backwards? Sure it feels completely different but it still turns in the direction you tell it to, unless the hoses are connected wrong, lol!

Get some things done with Brandon hanging around! Nice

I bet Brandon would love to be on that dozer but I could see his grin on the 250

Brandon seems to be very young so he has a lot to learn but he is doing great watch his channel and watch him improve

Brandon's wish list is getting longer with every day. After a 220 excavator now a big dump truck is added as well. This will be an expensive Christmas for Mrs Elite Earthwork😂

So Chris, are you going to put up mile markers on the driveway when you are all done? 🤔 It seems to be a couple miles long😳😏 Well you're going to have to watch out, Brandon is starting to get the hang on all the toys 👍 Good thing you keep getting video of Brandon working, that will keep Mrs Elite confident he's behaving himself 😏😁😂 Good job 👍👍

Looks awsome bud

Chris and his 220...SMOOOOOTH.

The borrow(?) pit is a good place for pond mud! :) Is there two entrance to the property when you are finished?

Good crew boss!

Wish I could afford to have you come out and fix/redo our mountain driveway.

First time you talking real about technique and productivity 👌 Love it. More please 🙏

Hey Chris, another sweet vid! Is it just me, or is it time to give a squirt or two of grease in your track tensioners? Seems to be a bit of droop in them. Or are they where you like them to be? I'm more familiar with tires on equipment, not as much seat time on tracks.

I so can’t get over your guys material down there, up here in B.C Canada we would have to run a lot of material threw a crusher to get that nice of stuff.

Nice job guys. I love being a helping as I want own excavator as my own business company and also helping people too

Your "borrow pit" would make a great "Tornado Shelter" ... toss an old Bus in it and cover over !!!

NICE hard hard work makes the suburban environment good strength

So I been watching your videos on this site and I only have one question. Did the guys who logged it actually harvest or just knock it down and leave it. I think if I ever have land cleared I would like the guys who use the chipper semi trailer to do it they don't leave much behind other then the stumps

Can't believe you have spent two days with Brandon and no shenanigans, but you edited out something fun right! This job is moving along nicely.

Great video Chris you couldn't do that over here in Scotland UK with clay is to bloody wet we need to dig it out over here

Good to see Chris and his lovely assistant again

Hello from Hell, Norway

That would be a helluva driveway to plow in my area of ny

Those trucks are so much fun to drive

I dont know what that dozer compares to size wise to a john deere dozer but i have spread a many of yards of dirt with a 450 c john deere dozer and made pretty quick work of it. Its all in the way you have the dirt laid out
