It’s really amazing how you can turn a pice of “crappy unusable” property into something useful and beautiful! Machines and knowledge are the key! Looking good buddy!

This field has changed so much from those early days of the beginning of this redevelopment. Oh that beautiful topsoil will make this pond look so pretty. The 350 and big bucket are doing a great job. Get well soon Barney.

I have been watching your videos long enough that I remember when you first started draining that swamp. The land has changed a lot since then.

Chris has the shape and depth+ slope angles firmly embedded in his Cerebral Cortex, even before he leaves the house at ' Silly Oclock ' a.m

Chris, in my mind is the Undesputed King of Pond builders in both Carolina''s . And Rich men North of Richmond know I ain't lying.

[Vickie-Bligh]

Wow, does the 350 ever move the dirt. 4 scoops to fill Barney. It really is difficult to judge scale on video but seeing the bucket next to the 220 helped. The happiness in your voice while hogging dirt is fun to hear. Now, here's hoping Barney is an easy fix. Thanks for sharing this with us all, Chris.

You have done a lot of hard work to get where you are, now you begin to reap the rewards,

The cab of the 350 is nice and quiet. I couldn’t hear hardly anything when you tracked over to get the truck unstuck.

I remember the video where you were digging the drainage ditch. Property turned out nice.

[Mtlmshr]

Holy Crap that bucket is almost as big as the entire cab on the 220! Geeeze!!!

[craigpridemore]

I remember this! I honestly didn't think ANYTHING you did was going to make it any better. Wow. What a change!

[leolarocque-fz]

Thanks for the Video on this pond Chris and THAT 350 Is big and love that big bucket too .

[TheBest-obkj]

Wow I could see just how big the new bucket wad when you put it into the truck bed to give it a push! Wow! Nice new pond dig!

[notyou]

You’re really good at slinging dirt. Been watching for long time now. I seem to relax when I watch you work… Weird!

[Sean-ir]

You could always rent a top soil screener, witch you should absolutely screen that beautiful dirt to get rocks and roots and sticks outta da way

[terryrogers]

When you first started loading the truck with the 350 it seemed like the dirt never stopped coming out of that new bucket, that is an awesome bucket for moving dirt. Thanks for the update, enjoyed watching.

Hi Chris, I timed you, and you were getting 5 buckets per min so at 5yrds per bucket that's 25 yards per minute and that's 1500 yards per hour so that's 15000 yards per 10 hrs day. So that's not a bad days workout. That bucket is amazing, , it was worth the wait to see that thing dig. I hope that the haul truck is going to be an easy, cheap fix. Thanks for the video, Chris. I enjoy every one of them, and God bless you. Be safe out there.

[craigwavra]

That’s a massive bucket and going to love a lot of dirt!! Can’t wait to see it on some more videos and ponds. Next up is a larger truck.

[StirlingLighthouse]

3 years ago already?!?
Dang!
Where do the years go Chris?
Thank you 🙏

[Skorpychan]

It's amazing what three years of proper drainage will do to a swamp.
It looks like the new pond is going to be a big drainage ditch, but that's kind of what the land there needs.
And that's some lovely black topsoil there. Just one scoop of that would do wonders here.

[papatomsthoughts]

Chris, the initial videos from 3 years ago really shows the perspective of what you have done and accomplished, thank you for comparison. That new bucket really moves dirt. Take care and God bless
