Not gonna' lie, I'm a little teary-eyed knowing how happy Chris is, and seeing how well he's doing. It's a beautiful thing!
Agreed. He deserves it
I often wondered why Chris never mumbled a grumbling word about Volvo when he bought the Hyundai. He knew it was already in the works!😊
Amen! He’s certainly earned it!
The man works extremely hard, and it seems when he does take time off, he heads to the auctions haha.... I really like his auction videos a lot as well. 💪👍🍻🇺🇲
Congratulations on your brand new Volvo Excavator
I have to agree Volvo finally figured it out. This channel is excellent coverage for the Volvo brand, and it shows exactly what these machines can do. Nothing but profit for them.
I guess you don’t understand how business works or have listened to Chris’ videos. He literally said he worked with Volvo to try and get a machine when he bought the Hyundai and they were not able to find anything. Can’t magically make a machine appear out of thin air.
@@mikesorg6746 exactly this.
I'd say you are correct.
I don’t take anything away from Chris but if you think Volvo cares about one YouTuner with less than 700k siubsctbers over huge construction companies that order excavators by the dozen I’ve got a bridge for sale.
@@blainerueckwaldthank you. I’ve been saying this forever. Finally someone who gets it.
Never seen a man with so much equipment and works by himself most days.
Fantastic operator, good business man, but poor financial manager as he could be having far better returns on his investments, if he was making his assets work as they should be by having good full time employees and building a team.
Sounds to me that you are jealous
Why does this bother you? It's his money, and he leaves his machines at different places so that he doesn't have to pay to have them moved
@@ryanhoward1013 God you talk some shit! I could buy and sell Chris ten times over if I wanted, and I have no malice towards him. Its purely an observation that he could have a better return in his investment. Unlike you, I do live in a free country and was only making comment based on a comment that someone else had made. Sounds like your the one with the problem.
@frasermathers2287 I have no problem, and you say you could buy and sell him ten times over. It makes me laugh
Congratulations! Not official till the stickers go on and it has a name!
I'm going with Big Bird.
Well done Volvo. The hyaundi was getting the limelight.
and even a commercial starring Chris.
*Hyundai
Why do you prefer one global corporation over another?
@@Couchtripper Trust, familiarity and maybe some financial incentives. Brand loyalty is a pretty common phenomenon; just observe Chevy vs Ford owners as just one example.
It's amazing how this one client is doing so much to explode Chris' business into the next levels! I had a similar situation with my lawn care company back in the 90's. I was mowing a commercial lot and he pulled up and waved me over and next thing I knew, I was basically his property manager for all his commercial properties! I had to hire more help, buy more equipment and it just kept getting crazier and crazier! He had me for all of my services; fertilizing, weed control, lawn care, landscaping and snow removal! Happily retired now! Keep up the great work, Chris!
So many mind-reading, chest thumping, future-seeing, expert businesspeople here on KZhead today. I’m just happy for Chris.
Didn’t you know? They’re all experts sitting on their couch watching You Tube, in their underwear, eating Cheetos. 😂
Cheezies . . .
Congratulations for the new beast!
Wow! I didn't see that one coming. Congrats!
Volvos executives where like „This needs to be fixed ASAP“ and your fired.
It’s not like they gave it to him
@@mula2626 @ThisisMindoMint didn't say they did... But when Chris went to buy a large machine last year he got the run around and had to settle with the Hyundai... @ThisisMindoMint was just implying the execs made things right and sold Chris a new machine and admonished the underlings who messed up is all
@@mula2626 They might have
@@calitrainman No, they didn't, and rates have come down drastically and supply has gone up since he was shopping last time.
Hahahaha...... Volvo should have gave him the same deal as this 350 for a brand new 460 that I think would be a better fit for him, but that's just my opinion. Either way Volvo should make sure Chris is always using Volvo excavators & haul trucks for marketing reasons. He's a good operator, has a good attitude, runs a good business, and puts out good videos with a growing subscriber list. 💪👍🍻🇺🇲
My guess for the new attachment is one that grabs the tree, a saw cuts it near the base and the tree is laid down where the operator wants it to go. Have good days!
I saw the commercial Chris did for Hyundai showing off their big haul truck and excavator. The ones he used to build that huge circular pond and thought shots fired. Looks like it worked. Here comes the big Volvo. lol.
Well, it seems like he always had this excavator planned on coming he ordered it new.
. It's a year and a half lead on new equipment these days. It's going to several more years for the supply chain to finally get fully straightened out for manufacturers to get caught up with demand plus on lot equipment to sell. At least prices have come down to inflation adjusted pre-pandemic prices. Immediately after the pandemic ended prices were thru the roof on used equipment. Clint at his C&C equipment channel explained it on one of his auction videos.
It was Hyundai truck and excavator he used
And Hitachi builds the Volvo, correct?
No i believe volvo excavators use to be samsung excavators tell volvo bought them
Two comments. I knew when you bought that Hyundai, Volvo was not going to let it go! Second, if anyone has any doubt how business is going for Chris, this ought to tell you everything you need to know. Congratulations!!
Volvo was already building this i bet when he got the Hyundai. He needed a bigger one right then , so he got what was available at the time. Volvo doesnt worry about what one guy buys, even if he has a popular channel. Most of his viewers arent in the market to buy a new Volvo. Now, if some big construction company or mining outfit was about to spend several millions of dollars on new equipment, you can bet they would start reaching out and playing along.
Your giggle indicates - this will be an awesome addition and fun to watch. 😁
You could have predicted Volvo wouldn’t let another brand land with Chris. The best advertisement they could get.
I'm a retired carpenter . Knowing how to weld comes in handy . Every carpenter should know how to do at least basic plumbing, masonry\concrete and electrical , how to shoot grade and even operate equipment a little bit .
Yeah…wood butchers are vital to our construction industry 🤣🤣
I know enough to get me in trouble Sometimes ! LOL
Yea know all know fuccck all
@1MrMoor Wood butchers are people that think they are Carpenters!! Real Carpenters don't butcher the wood!!
@@jerrymclean8075 A lifetime in the construction trade has shown me that there are indeed many wood butchers calling themselves carpenters. But my original comment was never meant as a negative towards carpenters, it was meant simply as a bit of banter shared between tradesmen.
Merely out 7 minutes and the view tickers are going crazy! Looks awesome! ❤
Well Barney won’t keep up with this beast. Time for haul truck upgrade. congratulations bud. Come on Volvo bring him a worthy haul truck.
My thoughts to. Old Barney is gonna work up a sweat working with this new machine. I’m sure this has crossed his mind.
Barney is still a good size for most of Chris' jobs and is in good condition. Barney also fits in tighter spots than a larger truck and has a tighter turning radius. Barney is DEF free!
I said the same thing! Chris is The Only Man on You Tube that puts in the time in labor proving over and over again a level of adeptness and integrity, dedicated to doing every job the best it can be. His work ethic is second to none. Period!His name will become akin to a job well done.
Geoff must be pimping out the chickens, duck mafia, and Dog Dog.
I have a couple of time slots open 😂
I'd love to help but they block those things here .....🤪🤣🤣
@@BealyGood
This farm owner has probably taken some of the financial pressure off of Geoff, some. 😂
@@BealyGood Keep an eye on the fish in your pond... Chris will be restocking his soon 🤣🤣🤣
😂CONGRATS CHRIS
*Appropriate* music for the entrance of The Beast. BRAVO, Volvo!
Volvo knows a good customer like Chris / letsdig18 and these videos does help their sales. I've been a subscriber for a few years now, and I can assure you that this man does NOT buy 'second rate' equipment.
Love that the welding instructor and student came to help out! I started out in a welding school myself.
Like a little kid on Christmas morning love it enjoy your new toy!
The Volvo Co-Pilot is some awesome stuff. Set limits for the work area and you can drop almost anyone in the seat and almost won't let them screw up.
You wanna bet? I know a couple “operators” who could f**k that up in 2sec. They’d have the paint wore off the counterweight faster than off the bucket. 😂
OMG!! Congratulations Chris!! Excited to see this machine in your fleet!! Can t wait to see it on whatever project to have in mind!! Remember when John got the 290!!
The pond.you built on the intro looks AMAZING!!!!!!!
woah. congrats. cool to see the fleet grow. i was a landscraper when i started watching 10+ years ago now ive been an operator for the last 8. congrats on the growth chris. soon we may catch you with gps doing big sites like charlie i think
Congratulations, Chris on a new machine.
Kind of surprised that a Volvo rep didn’t come out when you took delivery! Big missed opportunity for some PR and customer relations! 😊
seems like they will be there to run through setting up a few things. He mentioned something about the grade controls needed set up.
@@warrenmichael918 hard to find companies that have good customer relationships or even care about customers, anymore! Seems like they care more about political agendas or what the CFO wants more then customers or their products!
theres already a cupple day in the life vids on volvo's channel of chris am sre they will be out to help set some stuff up before its needed for more than digging up some trees
If you're getting a processing head for the new machine it's going to be a game changer! To be able to cut, fell, delimb, measure and cut to specific lengths without letting go of the whole tree is amazing. To watch someone who has been doing that in a logging operation is a great skill. I would think that logger Wade had something to do with that.
Has Geoff been buying you some awesome new toys again? 😉
Geoff is gonna be pissed Chris is in the candy store again 😜😜😜😜
@@astonmartin2727😂😂😂
@@astonmartin2727 And that it didn't get used at his place first.
Your 330 and 220's will oil themselves when they see their brand new brother 😂😂❤ i'm being a goof don't mind me 😂
Love it a little sibling intimidation here good comment!!
haha ha!🤣
@@j81851 Thanks hopefully Chris gets a kick out of it too
I suspect the 330 is gonna be sold.
Pretty cool! When it was on the trailer, the bucket looks as big as the truck cab, geez!
Congratulations CHRIS !!!👍
You must have waited a long time! It’s nice to have machines that work the same. Let me add my congradulations and joy in your new machine.
That’s awesome! It’s amazing watching you grow!
I would also like to thank Volvo for finally working with Chris like they should have to begin with
Nice machine Chris, don’t forget to tell Billy Good Farms thank you.
I see Volvo came to their senses haha nice machine needs a thumb
He said when he got the Hyundai that Volvo tried getting him a used machine but there wasn't any available.
He was already prepared for this machine. He ordered it new.
Hahaha! All the dweebs who think anyone other than hobbiests actually care what a youtuber uses for his business. Oh my.
Unless Chris intends to do a lot of other work than dig with this machine a thumb just adds weight out on the end of the stick. Additionally Chris said something similar to what I just said a couple of few months ago. Although with Chris saying he is working with AMI on something trick who knows what he/they might have hidden up their sleeves
@@gullreefclub A separate bucket with a thumb only attached to that?
Heck Yeah Man!! Congratulations!!
Damn Chris, I am impressed how fast your business has grown.
Such a proud Daddy. Congratulations
WHAAAAATTTT a new excavator???? WOW MAN congratulations!!!! And I'm very excited for all the videos we get featuring it :D :D :D :D
Music intro is fitting for the beasts entry
I would love to see a bucket size demo of each piece of equipment. From the smallest skid steer all the way thru the largest excavator you have to date. Just line them up and dump each one right next to each other!! That will be cool!!
looks like the poor ole 330 is off in the corner pouting.😓😂
Beautiful!! I guess I will stop looking for one for you!!
Congratulations with the new Excavator!
Hey Chris, Nice machine you bought. And I,ve a lot of respect for the way you are working and develope your company. Go on !!
She's a beaut! Now in honor of your best customer you should name her Bealey Good.
Keep buying and we’ll keep watching! Congrats from a few miles away in Smithfield.
Congratulations Chris, so happy for you. You work so hard and you deserve it.
I saw the "E" on the side and thought "oooh Chris is going electric!".... Sensible decision to keep with reliable tech there :)
Forgot to say congratulations on the new addition to the fleet. You know, once you get a few scratches on the paint and all the new opportunities open up with the extra capacity of this new equipment you will eventually be looking for that E480 and a brother for your dump truck.
Nice, she is big and man those fans are loud... Come a long way since the early days struggling with the Hitachi you started with.
Thanks again Geoff!
Nothing better for a man to have the tool brand he requires to excel. Chris your the best brand billboard Volvo could ever want
And my wife says i have too many hammers and drills. Love it.
@justinfunfun5483 OMG I get the same treatment LOL!
@@gatesmw50 I thought let's dig 18 was his name not his target
OUTSTANDING CHRIS!!! WHAT A BEAST BEST OF LUCK!
The 350 makes the big 220 look like a toy 🤯💪💪💪 Impressive addition, Chris !!! I wish you many happy hours playing in your new toy !!! 😁😎💪
Wow, nice fresh 350E!! Can't wait to see the thumb you're putting on it!
Except no thumb going on it as mentioned with the 330
Congradulations Chris on the new to you 350 Volvo excavator! I would say that was a level bucket filled with dirt; a full bucket should reach the jib boom on the Volvo 350 excavator!
Volvo finally pulled through, you've got an amazing fleet of machinery now chris.
The intro music was great.
Sick 🎶 tunes intro!!! Aloha's bruh!!! Stay safe out there
Great music today on the drive in
Well done Volvo for sorting out your best salesman with a new toy
Yes, because everyone who spends millions iof $$ on their equipment cares what a youtuber uses for his business. Hahahaha! Some of you people are so clueless. Oh my.
@@videodistro You seem to not have a life. Oh my.
@videodistro jeez, nothing like being a bit jealous, you have left this comment a few times, it is great advertising, I wouldn't have thought of pricing let alone testing a volvo machine without this channel
@@gaslight5 he isnt wrong though. Yes, its good advertising but realistically how many of viewers of his are even in the business or need a big new machine? If anyone is actually interested in buying this expensive of a machine, they most likely have been operating one for a while and already know what they are looking for. Now people that are looking for one most likely could be on here searching for reviews and channels using the machine to see how they like it and that could be of use but its not very many people in total. Its still sweet to see Chris doing so well and getting another new rig !!
Sure, jealous of someone I don't know in a different business than me. Haha! Go back to your mom's basement little boy. Your silly comment doesn't change reality. Volvo does not serve Chris. He paid big bucks for everything he buys. It's called real life.
Holy cow patties! There's no stopping you now! Congrats on another beautiful machine for the fleet. You can tell the bucket is huge but it's still a bit deceptive lol. I'm looking forward to seeing your surprise for the new machine.
Congratulations Chris. Good luck with it. Thanks for sharing 👍
The joy stick gives away what is coming next...! Lol Congratulations Chris...!
I'm sure it was a long-time coming and well deserved. Your work-ethic is commendable and the rewards clearly reflect your hard work.
Gotta get that LD18 sticker on to official!🎉
Congratulations Chris. If I was younger, I would come to NC for his welding class!
Congratulations on the new machine
Chris I am so proud of you .
You’ll love the new generation 370 if Volvo ever releases all the info. Congrats on the new 350….Nothing better than the smell of a new cab
My guess on the attachment coming from AMI is a Stump Harvester.
BEAUTIFUL Machine! Congratulations Chris!
Now that's a machine and NOT cheap
Imagine if it was geoff driving it off the trailer & throwing the keys to chris & shouting " Christmas came early " 😂😂
🤣🤔 opportunity missed. Lol
Congratulations on your brand new Volvo Excavator greating from the Netherlands
The bigger ones that you get. The more you make Dirt Perfect Jealous
Mikes business does a lot more smaller jobs , some of them in cramped areas. It seems that when Mike has a larger dirt moving job, like some of the bigger ponds, he goes to the 850's to move mass quantities of dirt. 2 different ways and both work.
@kenore4003 Yes, I know. I'm just messing with their friendly rivalry.
@@raymondcorp8732 Chris sent the drone shot & the photo to Mike with a sideways smiling emoji just for the sake of it.
🇺🇲🇵🇷🇲🇽😎 Happy mother's day!!!!
That intro is perfection. Congratulations Chris!
Super happy for you Chris the 330 and the new 350 are gonna be super beneficial to you on bigger jobs glad to see you do so well
Wow, what an amazing intro!!!
You work so hard at always doing the best job for your clients. You deserve to have the best equipment…CONGRATULATIONS Chris!! I’m sure your Grandaddy’s smiling watching from Heaven…🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻♥️♥️🇺🇸🇺🇸
Lovely new machine...With mods fitted for your use...It will be well looked after thats for sure....Stay safe and see you on the next one Chris
I almost got as excited as if I had bought the machine myself. The 350 looks good on you and thank you for sharing your success.
Good lord it took long enough… Volvo versus the world! Yes I use a Volvo too. An ec355 to be exact.
That's not only nice it's really nice Congratulations Young Man
🇨🇦Nice machine!! It seems quieter in the cab.👍🇨🇦
Brilliant result! Well done Volvo for supporting Chris and getting the brand out there!
I swear I just heard Bealybob yelling , Dagnabbit DogDog . Chris gone raise the Daggum rates again !!!!!
Sweet machine, but I'm surprised that the "bird's eye view" cameras have those 4 blind spots at the corners near the machine. Seems like trouble waiting.
What a Beast. I know you are happier than I can imagine. The pond looked fantastic. I'm wondering if you can put some of that birds eye view into you videos .
Wow! I knew that stumper was big but seeing it on the ground next to Ethan made you see just how big. Also when it was stood up next the those guys it was huge. Congrats on the new machine.
Congrats Mr Volvo 💪
