The definition of hard work pays off!! Absolutely a powerhouse of a machine Chris! Congratulations. Many construction owners work a lifetime without purchasing a new piece of equipment.
We make our Volvo excavators spotless like our other machines but man the interior is hard to clean when you get dirty from work. Putting thumbs on is pretty fun because you get to use the machine and stuff. Volvo is a great brand and I’m proud to be a Volvo technician
Was over your way today. I had to make a run to Raleigh. Pretty country around there. More interesting than Currituck county where I’m from. You do really nice clean work brother!
That big girl is a beast I was laughing my ass off watching you shake the dirt from the roots she looks like she will save you some time on clearing jobs very nice Chris 🤣🤣🤣👍
That's a old girl you pushin there Chris, & she's nice looking one at that, I like how she's shining in the sun while you're clearing out all them trees, can't wait to see her on a big dirty job see how much muscle you working with keep up the good work 💯
Sweet tractor tint makes it look awsome. I run equipment for a living but never got to operate a Volvo. 1 w hammer 1 time old 1. Looks like a good tractor but i do like my 315 an our 320 cats
Chris, you definitely have a way with your machine just an extension of your arms. fascinating to watch. Only with years of practice can one operate with such precision. Great content.!!!
Congratulations! The stick,bucket and especially the thumb look massive! When did they start doing the orange/red colored handrails? Can weight be added to the back later if wanted? It just looks front heavy with the big bucket maybe? Enjoy...
Wayne Tharp it does have weight, you see the place on the back when he swing that says Volvo, that’s like 200lbs or more of just concrete counterweight
Good machines Volvo I’ve just upgraded from a 2015 ec300 with 5500 hours on it was still tight up to a brand new Volvo 380 demo spec 33 hours on it & honestly what a machine wish it had tinted windows like yours tho 😂
Slick machine. Looks like the root masses are bigger when you are yanking stumps because you don't have to dig them out as much before pulling the stumps. Looks like an excellent addition to the business.
̇George H. That is true pulling a stump gets out more roots and less dirt surprised he didn't get quick attach and rake, twice as fast, but to each his own.
In the first few minutes of this video I saw something strange. For a few seconds I was wondering why there was a really big, styrofoam drink cup in the bucket. Maybe a 7-11 really big gulp? Then it occurred to me it was a reflection in the glass. Really clean glass on that new machine!
Nice New Rig - Chris, You take care of "Vanessa" for us. Love the videos. On your editing, you might try showing more footage of clearing in a fast forward mode.
Hi Chris wicked vids as always, was working this week where a company had a machine on site 250 set up for demo quick release buckets, jaw for concrete and rebar, impressive bit of kit up close the driver says it cost £140,000 plus attachments, ATB Wayne UK.
That new machine has some awesome power...also seems to be smooth and quiet...this 250 should work out good for your operation...do more faster...very nice machine...congratulations and good luck with it.
Wayne Tharp Chris will put tire shine on the tracks....curb feelers on the side subwoofers behind the seat and spinners on the low boy that hauls it from job to job!
Sweet machine!!!!! It made the trees look like saplings!!!!! The tint is great! I think every machine should have it. It has to be so much easier on your eyes!!! Are the green cutting edges environmentally friendly???? Lol!!!!
Would you express each machine by make and share your exoerience of all the manufacturers you have used and also share the service of each dealer by make. Thanks, and est wishes. Bill
It would be interesting to see how it would do up against an 75’ Tall cottonwood tree with a stump about 60” wide like we clear everyday up here in Nebraska. Nice machine though!
When watching these videos of operators in the cab watch how much their heads move and bodies are jolted around by simple operations. However the worst thing is a skid steer with rubber Wheels your go home doggy tired run one of them all day.
Awesome land clearing video . Ever thought bout get wheel front end loader with grapple root rake to move the trees , limbs , underbrushes , stumps and debris about after u clear it out with the excavator ?
Its for sure time for you to get a tiltrotator! Dirtninja and alot of americans are finally getting onboard the tiltrotator train! Just do it! considering you're a talented operator, you'll love it!
I could watch you digging for hours o I do. This shot is good and not too much work for you to edit I hope. Was there any video on how/ why you got a me one. Thanks for doing videos so smooth when you operate it just love it. Guy U.K.
and here we see a young Volvosaurus in its natual habitat playing with its food....
Lmfaoooo.
Hahahaha 😂😂😂
Good one 😀😀
Is that his twin, in yonder field?
👍
It’s so enjoyable to see someone who appreciates good equipment, cares for it very well and operates it at a master level. Congratulations.
The definition of hard work pays off!! Absolutely a powerhouse of a machine Chris! Congratulations. Many construction owners work a lifetime without purchasing a new piece of equipment.
The rumble it makes when you track around is just awesome. I'd love to hear that every morning.
Quick work of clearing ground. Nice new machine.
That new machine is a monster to those trees. So awesome and the Operator is so smooth. The best!!!!!
Very nice machine! So tight and smooth! Congrats man happy for you! Just keep your uncle on the 160! Lol
You make it look way to easy!!! Beautiful machine now you need to do a walk around of your shop and all your toys!!
We make our Volvo excavators spotless like our other machines but man the interior is hard to clean when you get dirty from work. Putting thumbs on is pretty fun because you get to use the machine and stuff. Volvo is a great brand and I’m proud to be a Volvo technician
I take new skills to work every now and then cause of you. Thanks.
The reflection from the cup in the cup holder makes it looks like it is sitting in the bucket.
I thought it was a 5 gallon bucket in the bucket at first :/
It wasn't? lol
@@MostelsRoofing That is just an excavator size cup of coffee. He will need that big cup because he will not want to put his new toy away.
yes i noticed that as well NgnMech...
Looks like a cup of Dr.pepper in your bucket , and it never spilt good operating skills . lol
Smooth fast and quiet a machine to compliment the operator. 👌
First minute or so it looks like you're carrying around a giant foam cup in your bucket!
That's one beautiful machine. I like the Tent
That Volvo sounds like it is eating Capton Crunch for breakfast when it’s eating up those trees.
very sweet machine looks like she moves fast as the 220 and dont care about the rootballs at all and tint looks good!
Nice machine. I know you took your time choosing it and worked your ass off for it. Congratultions!
Looks like that’s going to be a nice addition to the fleet.
A new tool very nice 👍
Was over your way today. I had to make a run to Raleigh. Pretty country around there. More interesting than Currituck county where I’m from.
You do really nice clean work brother!
What a beauty. It's in good hands for staying that way too. Nice one Chris.
Hey Chris,
Your new machine looks awesome.
With what little you've used it so far, I'm curious how it compares to the 220.
I was genuinely offended for 10 minutes when you didn’t show us the consummation tree!! 😂😂😂😂😂
That big girl is a beast I was laughing my ass off watching you shake the dirt from the roots she looks like she will save you some time on clearing jobs very nice Chris 🤣🤣🤣👍

Nice piece, enjoy watching you operate.
Congratulations on your new machine Chris! You are a great operator
Plucks tree's out like they're weeds!
My words ;-)
HughzieTube try that with a mini excavator and your gonna be there all year long
You have got to love that new machine. After the 290 and manual thumb lol. Very happy for u on video 245 been watching ur channel every night
woo hoo new toy!!
Congratulations on the new machine. After watching a few minutes I understand why you got the big bucket and thumb. It's a beast for clearing.
Wow! She can sure Grip'm 'n RIP'm! Very Nice, Chris! Thanks for sharin' her maiden brutality!
That new machine my friend is a thing of beauty and that is all I have to say.👍👍
10:28 That sound you're hearing is the flames from the hellfire burning deep inside the engine.
Sweet tractor tint makes it look awsome. I run equipment for a living but never got to operate a Volvo. 1 w hammer 1 time old 1. Looks like a good tractor but i do like my 315 an our 320 cats
Chris plz do a side by side comp, That would be a good video
Chris, you definitely have a way with your machine just an extension of your arms. fascinating to watch. Only with years of practice
can one operate with such precision. Great content.!!!
That thing is a beast, seems like a very quick thumb as well. Congrats on the new machine man!
Nice looking and powerful machine here.
Awesome machine Chris !
The thumb is wicked looking.
Keep up the great work !
Congratulations! The stick,bucket and especially the thumb look massive! When did they start doing the orange/red colored handrails? Can weight be added to the back later if wanted? It just looks front heavy with the big bucket maybe? Enjoy...
Wayne Tharp it does have weight, you see the place on the back when he swing that says Volvo, that’s like 200lbs or more of just concrete counterweight
@@tylercorbin8073 I am aware that is the counter weight. I was asking about adding more weight if needed...
Thx for all vids, and good luck with your new machine, i drive the same one here in Sweden. Btw someone forgot to put the rototilt on ;-)
Good machines Volvo I’ve just upgraded from a 2015 ec300 with 5500 hours on it was still tight up to a brand new Volvo 380 demo spec 33 hours on it & honestly what a machine wish it had tinted windows like yours tho 😂
As owners of portable sawmills cry as they watch.
Congratulations !! Best of luck
Slick machine. Looks like the root masses are bigger when you are yanking stumps because you don't have to dig them out as much before pulling the stumps. Looks like an excellent addition to the business.
̇George H. That is true pulling a stump gets out more roots and less dirt surprised he didn't get quick attach and rake, twice as fast, but to each his own.
That’s his new precious lol. Congrats on the new machine
You know the next morning your gonna run out side and .. just look at it !!
In the first few minutes of this video I saw something strange. For a few seconds I was wondering why there was a really big, styrofoam drink cup in the bucket. Maybe a 7-11 really big gulp? Then it occurred to me it was a reflection in the glass. Really clean glass on that new machine!
Looks like the maiden voyage of that machine already has a cuppa coffee in it bucket
At first glance I thought you had a water pale in the bucket until I look more closer it was your coffee cup lol ( it’s my age you know) 🇬🇧
Hope you can enjoy your new machine for many years, I like your videos, keep doin and show'in what you do.
Cup of coffee in ya bucket and not spillin any😀
All this talk of forest fires but nobody mentions the damage Chris can do when let loose in the woods.
That's one beautiful machine Chris. Keep up the awesome work great channel
NICE MACHINE !! Congrats.
Nice machine chris...only thing missing is the smooth operator song playing in the background
I can see why you needed such a big machine, that coffee cup in the bucket looks mighty heavy.
Nice excavator have fun cutting and then poping the stumps is more my thing just like the added speed of not filling in stump holes.
Totally thought u were carrying a broom at first
Nice New Rig - Chris, You take care of "Vanessa" for us. Love the videos. On your editing, you might try showing more footage of clearing in a fast forward mode.

Congratulations Chris , you deserve it, hope you get all the work you need for it. Has this one a shorter boom than your other one ?
That new machine has some awesome power...also seems to be smooth and quiet...this 250 should work out good for your operation...do more faster...very nice machine...congratulations and good luck with it.
Scandinavian power, cheers from Norway
Congratulations sir. Very nice machine. Now get to making that money.
Beautiful design
What’s your favorite machine ? If you had to pick one.
I'm glad i'm not those trees lol!!!
Chris I'm extremely happy for you and your uncle! That is the perfect machine for the company! You'll be saying 220 what? lol
And I thought I was happy..I just bought a 1985 Kobelco 907C for 15k...🤣 I am so jealous..
Good luck with the new Volvo Chris!!!
Man..... that beauty is QUIET!
Nice machine I know your finally glad 👍
That's definitely a nice machine! I'd hate to be the one to put the first scratch on it. If that happens, you will have a high speed come apart!
I can't believe he has those nasty work boots in the cab already! Figured they would be left outside!
I bet the boots weren't dirty when he went in the cab. I bet he has a wisk broom in the cab already.
Brian Gardiner, he needs a little boot rack outside the cab.
Wayne Tharp Chris will put tire shine on the tracks....curb feelers on the side subwoofers behind the seat and spinners on the low boy that hauls it from job to job!
I wonder if there is a can of touch up paint for the bucket in the cab somewhere?
Sweet Jesus that's nice!
Sweet machine!!!!! It made the trees look like saplings!!!!! The tint is great! I think every machine should have it. It has to be so much easier on your eyes!!! Are the green cutting edges environmentally friendly???? Lol!!!!
She sounds a lot quieter and smoother Chris
Would you express each machine by make and share your exoerience of all the manufacturers you have used and also share the service of each dealer by make. Thanks, and est wishes. Bill
It would be interesting to see how it would do up against an 75’ Tall cottonwood tree with a stump about 60” wide like we clear everyday up here in Nebraska. Nice machine though!
Kreg Schlautman it would do about the same as any other excavator in that weight class.
Thanks for the video.
When watching these videos of operators in the cab watch how much their heads move and bodies are jolted around by simple operations.
However the worst thing is a skid steer with rubber Wheels your go home doggy tired run one of them all day.
i like the excavators and digging but i hate taking down trees
Great machine.
wow you got the model with the cup holder on the bucket, what new feature they gonna come up with next?
Awesome land clearing video . Ever thought bout get wheel front end loader with grapple root rake to move the trees , limbs , underbrushes , stumps and debris about after u clear it out with the excavator ?
Richard Gavin agreed that’s how we do it...speeds the process up and saves a lot of tracking back an forth
she looks amazing just hope she keeps scratch free
The new machine pushes those trees around like dominos. I can't wait for the first mud splatter over at the 20-acre lake. LOL
Its for sure time for you to get a tiltrotator! Dirtninja and alot of americans are finally getting onboard the tiltrotator train! Just do it! considering you're a talented operator, you'll love it!
How can anyone dislike this beautiful beast machine!
Maybe all the thumbs down are kittyCAT operators.
dang thing pulls them trees like pulling weeds out the garden
Well finally! Tell the boss this machine was made for diggin big holes.....lol. Congrats Chris.
Love see you pop at tree brother
What size bucket do you guys use most for land clearing?
Bobs your uncle, what a machine
I could watch you digging for hours o I do. This shot is good and not too much work for you to edit I hope. Was there any video on how/ why you got a me one. Thanks for doing videos so smooth when you operate it just love it. Guy U.K.
220 or 250 Chris it’s decision time 😀
Nice machine
That looks like you are pulling trees out of the ground like weeds
