Yes and they engineer for a living, what's your point? Doesn't matter if he is slow, it's not a requirement of being a good engineer. If you want machine operator, then you hire a machine operator.
I don't know why RUclips dropped @letsdig18 in to my feed, but I'm so glad it did. I've watched hours of content over the past couple of weeks. This was more amusing to see because I could appreciate a little, just how skilled Chris is. I found the presenter/host guy to be particularly condescending, so knowing what was likely coming put a smile on my face from the start. I wasn't disappointed, and I bet they were talking about that for the rest of the week! I do like that the channel is about getting the job done, not showing off just how good Chris is, but putting people right about how a good operator does it was satisfying.
My customer told me recently that they assign their Sany excavator to any employee who steps out of line. They are all terrified of that punishment. 😂😂
I just started watching his videos, the first one was the suck excavator in the apartment complex pond. I thought to myself that it looks a lot like North Carolina and I wondered where it really was. Good to know I was right all along!
How did I miss this one with the hundreds of his videos I've watched. Not sure if I should be thanking the algorithm for sticking this in my feed, or complaining that it didn't do it a year ago!
This just popped up in my feed. I guess that's what happens when show business meets a real operator. 🤣🤣 Also love the machine with the bucket in the air and people walking underneath.
Good job. U know…I used to be down on Sany as I’ve owned many Cat, Deere, case, and Komatsu machines. Besides the machine not having anything overly fancy…they seem to be a pretty good machine. I’m surprised. Cost effective and they dig like a dream. Common pumps and valves and engines.
I've been watching a ton of your videos in the last couple weeks since your channel was recommended by RUclips. Just wanted to leave my first comment to say that was pretty damn rad man lol
Had really hard time figure out what was the thing you had to do here. Track forward with one track and pop the balloon? And this was supposed to be difficult. :)
The one track is balancing the weight of the whole excavator, so you have to keep the arm exactly positioned to keep the excavator from falling one way or another. Now, of course, it was already balanced and in the right position when he jumped in, but still ballsy to move that fast!!
That was the funniest thing I have seen for ages. They made such a big deal out of it, and din't even ask Chris at the end, how he made it look so easy.
The MC sounds like he works in Hospital Radio. The person at work who drives everyone crazy with the lamest jokes on the planet, and is the only person laughing. Chris should have popped the balloon, and then accidentally slipped with the controls and hoised the MC into air clutched between bucket and thumb.
you have to use that line somewhere "your actual faster than our engineers " maybe put it on your shirt or dub it for the opening sequence of your TV show
As an Australian the last thing I need to hear first thing in the morning is an Australian accent. I got to spend my day hearing that drull but geezzzz not before breakfast. You nailed though Criss, made that dumb Aussie respect you. Rock on Bro.
Gotta love RUclipss algorithms. With that being said, it was 12 seconds from the start of track movement to the quite audible POP of the balloon. I used to smaller rigs doing crazy things in places they quite frankly shouldnt be. I love this sort of stuff. I dont know how or why but Chris' videos popped into my feed and I have been watching his stuff for a month solid. My fiance "This is what you do at work all day!!!! Why are you watching it on youtube?!?!?!! Me "Educational purposes" Some say Chris dug the hole Chuck Norris was buried in........
CONGRADUATION THAT WAS SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO FUN TO WATCH & I GOT TO LAUGH AT THE GUY FROM DOWN UNDER, SAYING YOU MIGHT BE A LEGEND OR EMBARRASSED ALL WEEK darn capssssss
Please tell me that was a setup..... There are only about ten guys on youtube doing just excavators, you would think the would have been specifically waiting for you.
3:10 - "You're actually faster than our engineers!" Of course he is! He actually operates for a living!
DigsDirtDigsMusic-And your comment wins the Internet today!!
So tired of hearing that where I work. Haha.. They're literally only good for math. Other than that, sit down and watch the pros!
Yes and they engineer for a living, what's your point? Doesn't matter if he is slow, it's not a requirement of being a good engineer. If you want machine operator, then you hire a machine operator.
@@dalelc43 there supposed to be the demo operators, supposed to practice and be very skilled not just ok
You guys know engineer is another term used for an operator right?
Pops the balloon in 20 seconds while balancing on a beam; drops the prize bag.
haha
hee hee 😂
I mean if he would have picked up the prize with the machine he wouldn't have dropped it.
Needs a compound thumb
LOL
Operator : that's the challenge. Are u up to that?
Chris : just replace the bucket with a needle and i can make a very nice suit for you..
chris : you have any plaque on your teeth
🤣🤣🤣
After binge watching Chris, seeing this for the first time was hilarious. It’s like asking Michael Jordan to take a free-throw.
I’m right there with you. I wish they would have given him some free time to REALLY put on a show. He is my favorite on RUclips to watch.
Same. Found him 2 weeks ago. Knew he was going to kill it.
@@JeffWok really? That’s awesome. I’ve been watching him for about a year or so. He’s pretty freaking good, man. 👍
New here as well. Same story as the others. Is there more details on this? Did they know he was an operator, or just some guy?
@@blaircox1589 as soon as he started tracking they knew they were screwed lol.
LOL--they prolly gave him a Sany tshirt, he can use it to wipe down his Volvos
XD
But only whole the Volvo's are sleeping. If they wake and catch Criss wiping them down with a bloody doggy sany shirt, blood may get spilt.
When I need some humor I youtube search "I owned sany" after the first two words it pops up on the 2nd line down!!
Lol.
Laughed my ass off when he was surprised that you beat the engineer's time right out of the water. Some fine skills there.
I don't know why RUclips dropped @letsdig18 in to my feed, but I'm so glad it did. I've watched hours of content over the past couple of weeks.

I do like that the channel is about getting the job done, not showing off just how good Chris is, but putting people right about how a good operator does it was satisfying.
I liked the added touch of looking into the camera at the end
If RUclips tells me to ‘watch this video’ again.... I swear, I will!
You too Ehh? Lol
Was there ever any doubt?
(20 seconds...you must have taken time to adjust the seat. 🤣)
"On a scale of 1to 10 how do you think you'll do " ahhh 10 lmao absolutely priceless
LMAO It took him longer to explain it than it took you to do it.
Chris is the GOAT. He’s the smoothest and most efficient excavator operator I’ve ever seen.
Just love this guy. So down to earth and quiet, but a total demon behind the controls!
Even my wife was impressed when I showed this video to her a few years back. It is certainly worth watching again and again.
Hey that ain't nothin ida popped a hydraulic hose quicker than you got that balloon
i wanna see this happen
have a go with brutus ;)
@Logger Wade And then called Dirt Perfect to come fix it?
My main man Wade always shit posting.😂
A 10? LOL that fool doesn't know who he's talkin' too.
Chris jumps out of the excavator and asks, "So I heard you had a challenge?" *drops mic*
lol
Is he wearing a Volvo hat in the Sany challenge photo? HAHA classic
they had no idea who he was hahahaha lol #teamletsdig18
They should've realized you knew what you were doing...especially after you parked the bucket flat on the ground at the end.
I love how nonchalant Chris was. Beautifully done.
You are the man Chris. If only they knew how much time you spend in the Volvo.
I do not know how many times I have seen this, but it's just as fun every time.
That's awesome Chris!! Those guys had no idea what they were up against!! Great job man you made it look so easy
My customer told me recently that they assign their Sany excavator to any employee who steps out of line. They are all terrified of that punishment. 😂😂
VIQAN makes sense, they make 40,000 excavators a year out of one plant in China that pays all their workers 8$ an hour
@@HarrisPropertyMaintenance $8 an hour in China is actually decent compared to most companies, still shit machines
Show em how a North Carolina fella does it!!! Awesome Job man.
Represent!
Represent!
I just started watching his videos, the first one was the suck excavator in the apartment complex pond. I thought to myself that it looks a lot like North Carolina and I wondered where it really was. Good to know I was right all along!
Every time I see this and the Sany rep goes 'it's harder than it looks' I can't help but laugh 😂
Rumour has it the guy is still standing there explaining what he’s got to do
I guess that guy doesn't realize you were born in an excavator, who was behind the camera? Alex?
I can watch this time and time again!
Did they have ANY idea who you are? Nice!
I dont know but I took pics with my volvo hat on
Nice, what was the prize?
Dave P Something broken haha
I can't believe they didn't have any toilets for you to stack
Great job
How did I miss this one with the hundreds of his videos I've watched. Not sure if I should be thanking the algorithm for sticking this in my feed, or complaining that it didn't do it a year ago!
He's like, "get off my track dude. let me show you how it's done." *POP!*
Next time I'll have them put tbe controls in Deere mode to challenge ya.
I operate in deere mode haha, if I get in an excavator that doesnt have the switch for deere mode Im lost lol
He hates Deere control mode so I needle him about it. XD
Nighthawke70 haha yeah I've heard him say that before it's funny! im the opposite lol
ProjectMachines same man I get all fucked up
Deere Mode is like using inverted mouse on PC
Ive been watching Chris for a long time and this never gets old.
Chris walking in as a sleeper like he knows nothing about an excavator lol
The most appropriate title in all of RUclips. Nicely done.
The whole time the guy was demonstrating what to do, i was just thinking to myself “man they really dont know who chris is” hahaha
That was awesome. I guess they have never seen a real operator before!
This just popped up in my feed. I guess that's what happens when show business meets a real operator. 🤣🤣 Also love the machine with the bucket in the air and people walking underneath.
Thats like taking a water gun to a knive fight.... I watch this guy all the time. He's the G. O.A.T. of operators....
Nice job. I had to laugh at how surprised the announcer was.
Good job Chris. Showed those people how we roll in North Carolina.
Can you say you RINGERD them! 😁😱🤪🤣👍👍🇺🇸
love it Chris. Show em how a real operator gets it done!
That guy never knew what was coming chris 👏👏 you are the MAN.
Good job. U know…I used to be down on Sany as I’ve owned many Cat, Deere, case, and Komatsu machines. Besides the machine not having anything overly fancy…they seem to be a pretty good machine. I’m surprised. Cost effective and they dig like a dream. Common pumps and valves and engines.
That was so good, I had to watch it twice. Nice work Chris, way to show them how.
Still my favorite Letsdig video! I come back and watch it over every once and a while.
I've been watching a ton of your videos in the last couple weeks since your channel was recommended by RUclips. Just wanted to leave my first comment to say that was pretty damn rad man lol
hand eye co-ordination with an excavator 10/10 hand eye co-ordination with a gift bag 0/10

That was so much fun to watch, I watched it three times. And I counted 13 seconds from the first backup beep to the pop.
"Must... resist... temptation to dig burn pit..."
I was laughing from the very beginning, having watched many of your videos and knowing what you can do.
chris...."okay now i got yer excavator moved i'm ready for the challenge! what is it? and when do i start?"
This is great! Every time it pops up I watch it again and laugh. They should have just looked at the back of your t-shirt!
That was the funniest thing I have seen for ages. They made such a big deal out of it, and din't even ask Chris at the end, how he made it look so easy.
I wish I could have placed a BIG bet on you, Chris. Thousands of your fans were enjoying that. Wish we all could have been there.
Chris. This is one of my favorite videos. I'll take 2 cubes of sugar in my coffee please. lol
Definitely a legend. That MC was obviously hired from talent agency and doesn't work in the industry.
The MC sounds like he works in Hospital Radio. The person at work who drives everyone crazy with the lamest jokes on the planet, and is the only person laughing. Chris should have popped the balloon, and then accidentally slipped with the controls and hoised the MC into air clutched between bucket and thumb.
Nailed it! Never mess with the Babe Ruth of excavators!
you have to use that line somewhere "your actual faster than our engineers " maybe put it on your shirt or dub it for the opening sequence of your TV show
Little did they know that Chris was a ring in. 😉 Haha, love it. He got a picture and all.
Should have pulled out a white helmet and race suit and suited up before the stunt.
You could be the heavy equipment STIG!
i would of loved to see that
Them engineers didn't have you tested for steroids did they? Haha! Seemed pretty easy for a guy that lives in a cab of an excavator.
The first dude thought he was a badass, until a real badass showed up
this vid is what started me watching Chris...lol showed up that engineer and the pitch man on the mic!!!
I heard they once asked Chris to do brain surgery, and he did it, with an excavator.
As an Australian the last thing I need to hear first thing in the morning is an Australian accent. I got to spend my day hearing that drull but geezzzz not before breakfast. You nailed though Criss, made that dumb Aussie respect you. Rock on Bro.
that is a case of yea nah this is how its done mate haha
Bad ass, Chris.
gotta say the engineer placed the excavator well and straight
No question, Chris is the Jedi.🤙🏼🤙🏼
The announcer was trying to dig himself out of that one!😂😂🤣
Hahaha thats awesome!! They should've let you take the Sany home
Two thumbs up for the dandy!
can you say.... RINGER!!!!
Rep-re-sent!!! LOL!! Gotta love smarmy master of ceremonies!!
I'm still trying (a year later) to figure out what the scam was supposed to be.
That equipment is very well built built just as well as caterpillar if not better
Well done a pro at work
It's just as much fun watching it the second, third, fourth time . . .
Guy jumps out and shows Chris the controls. Chris says yeah yeah get out of my way.
It's not a Volvo, but let me show your demo driver how to operate his equipment. Lol
This never gets old.
Chris they had no idea who they were dealing with. You rock
Gotta love RUclipss algorithms.
With that being said, it was 12 seconds from the start of track movement to the quite audible POP of the balloon.
I used to smaller rigs doing crazy things in places they quite frankly shouldnt be. I love this sort of stuff. I dont know how or why but Chris' videos popped into my feed and I have been watching his stuff for a month solid.
My fiance "This is what you do at work all day!!!! Why are you watching it on youtube?!?!?!!
Me "Educational purposes"
Some say Chris dug the hole Chuck Norris was buried in........
Good job man your a hell of a operator!
They obviously didn’t know the James Bond of excavators!!
Guy should have taken one look at the back of your shirt and said "Oh.."
CONGRADUATION THAT WAS SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO FUN TO WATCH & I GOT TO LAUGH AT THE GUY FROM DOWN UNDER, SAYING YOU MIGHT BE A LEGEND OR EMBARRASSED ALL WEEK
darn capssssss
He's a pom, not Aussie
I see it’s only a one track popping a balloon is the task I guess. Exactly what is going on in the challenge besides being a one track
Please tell me that was a setup..... There are only about ten guys on youtube doing just excavators, you would think the would have been specifically waiting for you.
I like how the guy that was supposed to demonstrate it to Chris couldn't even do it that well
And then he dropped the prize lmao. Chris man your a joy to watch always.
That will teach them to underestimate a Southern man. Ha!
What did they expect. Must not have known they were dealing with the real thing from the South 😎
So what was the challenge? Just popping the balloon? Piece of cake for Chris.
I can't believe they let a stranger get into an excavator and fool around with it near a crowd!
My first thought was wondering how close that crowd was to the counterbalance as it slightly rocked back and forth.
A COUNTRY BOY CAN SURVIVE!!!# Awesome!
