of all the people to get the machine out of the trailer Chris is the man for the job, besides if anyone was gonna put a scratch on it,Chris wanted to do it himself.
The best thing I can say to you BRAVO Chris!!!! You remind me of my father with your integrity for doing a good job always. An honorable man gets rewarded...Amen sending goodwill & Best Wishes 👍👍✌️✌️
@@eliteearthworksllc , it gets tight in there for sure. Specially with small tractors and TLB's. They wedge those joker's in there. But now they are starting to haul small tractors on car haulers.
Congrats on the new machine Chris! Just check that the hydraulic flow is set to “grab” mode on the console for using the thumb. We just bought a new mini and ours was set on “hammer” mode and the thumb was wicked fast like yours there. Switching the setting slowed it down just right for us.
As a truck driver that pulls nothing but box trailers I would have been really really hesitant about hauling that cuz I seen no good way to tie it to the floor and those straps that go in the E Track there only rated for couple of thousand pounds a piece. If I had hauled it. It would have looked like Spider-Man had been in their. I hope he had more than the two straps hanging in there on that machine.
Lol he would have had to use the little loader that was in the background to build a pad for it first. To be honest knowing most freight companies I'm surprised it wasn't backwards.
Hi love your videos, watch them any time theres a new upload! I'm very fascinated with construction vehicles and am considering starting my own excavating business in the near future. (I'm 15 yrs old) and these videos really give me a good idea about all the maintenance and work that goes into a business like this.
@@legendaryexplorer8119 my nephew started cutting lawns when he was 14 or 15 and has been building a business now at 18 he has his own truck and professional equipment he even rents out skidsteers and mini excavators for his larger Jobs.
There is a ton more behind the scenes stuff that happens before any equipment moves even a shovel full of dirt. That said a young man of your age is more than capable of being successful at it, and you already have a leg up on being very successful because your motivated and want to be successful! I am not real familiar with the Excavation business Personally But with any business if you are motivated and committed you can and will be successful! If you are truly wanting to get into the Excavation business, I would PM Chris and let him know exactly what your experience is right now, then let him know where you would like to be in let's say 2 years and 5 years then let him know where you see your business in 10 years. I have been watching this channel religiously for about 8 or 9 months and I would bet my right arm if your serious about your future Chris will give you solid advice and recommend what you need to do to be successful at it! IMO... Chris is a rare man when it comes to sincerely & honestly trying to help other people in his line of work! Most business people are more than willing try to help as long as your not a competitor, but I truly believe that even if Chris and the company he part of, would still give you straight forward advice. It is rare that you meet folks like Chris and his uncle in the business world, and I believe that they would steer you in the right direction no matter what. I also believe that if you were their only competing company for the same job and you asked for advice, they would tell you up front that they couldn't help you this go around because they were bidding on the same job. 99% of companies would give you bogus advice and steer you down the wrong path as apposed to telling you that they couldn't help because they were bidding. I Truly believe that they are that honest! Now I may be totally wrong in my assessment of Chris and the family business but I made a good living for 30+ years on my ability to judge folks and their character and I was correct 95%+ of the time. My advice to you is to do your best to get on their good side and PAY ATTENTION when they are gracious enough to offer sound advice. My best advice to a young businessman such as yourself is to ALWAYS ALWAYS do the best humanly possible to do what you said you were going to do 100% of the time! I always told my kids and the people I was lucky enough to have working for me, is 1 thing...your reputation good or bad will follow you for the rest of your life, and it only takes 1 screw up to ruin a lifetime of good work! My dad had a saying that he religiously lived by....You can have 1000 of "at a boys" to your credit, but it takes only 1 "Awe Shit" to wipe the slate clean! Work hard, Be honest and always always do what you promised and you will be successful in whatever you do! Good Luck to you young man!
Deja Vu when I clicked on this video that is how my Volvo ecr88d arrived I put one of my tags 90° to the back and crawled out on it I'm happy for you man that's a good machine
Maybe hot in the summer too. Out of all the cab minis we have had, none of the ac systems can seem to keep them cool in 85 and up. Winter will be nice though. Nice machine!
Them yanmar. Great machine. I just bought a new Hyundai 35 last week too. But u dont have the heart to get rid of my yanmar 37. Been a great machine. We only use our minnie couple hundred hours a year. But damm handi when you need it
Nice machine. I'm glad they changed the door on them. When I looked at one of those a few years back, they had a glue seam up the middle so door would curve around side of cab. That was another reason I went with a Kubota. A couple of friends here have Yanmars and they can't wear them out. I love my Kubota though!
Nice ! Yanmar makes great mini's.. my buddy has a 1992 B-50 and the thing is basically indestructible. It has like 16k hours on it and has only had to replace basic wear parts, it needed a new bucket at about 10k, a few bushings here and there, an occasional pin.. put a new set of tracks on it and that's about it. The engine, hydraulic system and drives are pretty much bullet proof.
You could drove it straight off without the dirt in 30 seconds by putting the bucket on the ground, once your off sitting on an angle spin round put bucket along side the van trailer lift yourself up off the truck and back away and put yourself down on the ground... easy as for any real operator!
Bought the exact same machine about a year ago, absolutely awesome...that is other then the pedals. Not sure if someone with tiny feet designed them or what but I ended up having to make new ones
Yanmar,kubota,japanese machines are the king,they have refinement and hydraulics down to a tee.There focus on fit and finish are undisputed.you made a great choice.i just bought a U 25 super series Kubota.
Nice mini, I’m thinking about getting that same one. When the sales guy explained how it would come, I imagined it but this video explains it. I have a vio50-3, Yanmar is the best at that under 12k operating weight...
Them and kubota for sure. Takeuci misspelled seems to be nice too. Kubota just pisses me off. I love there stuff! We just need a 100 120 and 140 excavator. Also give us a 100hp loader. Also surprised they don't make a solid damn TLB even just a 16k one idk haha
Little did the poor excavator know that in a few years, it's hydro tank drain plug would be "severally" over tightened by idiots trying to drain the tank. ;)
My company is also looking for a 12,000 pound mini. So far we have demoed a Volvo(really liked it), a Takeuchi tb260, we have a 240 And run 6 of their skid steers, it’s just a 240 just bigger but nice machine. Never have ran a yanmar were mainly CAT guys
Hi,just sub.i can watch u for hours.im FM. Mich.your miththoughacal voice and smoothness of operating your machines is very calming to me.keep going . Bob
Also I don’t know if your new mini is like the one my work got but the problem I’ve all ready run into is when I’m digging and the hydraulics build their pressure once they hit a certain psi they won’t build anymore like the old ones did, I was told that’s set from factory and we can’t change it
50 open feet of trailer and no one at the dealership ever thought to toss in a couple of ramps? oh well...maybe next time at least that driver will ....enjoy your new toy!!
One thing u forgot to mention is the high and low travel speed selector button on the tip of the dozer control lever. Nice video and really nice Vio55! I have aVio35 and LOVE IT
That’s exactly right those pedals are on such a bad angle if you’re a bigger guy! That was on an older vio55 though. Spent a couple of years in a lot of awkward spaces in that machine, solid reliable workhorse reputation is well earned. Lb for lb it has good breakout power -used a leveling bar extension on a tilt bucket for finishing without any problem for a long time and the track motors never seemed to lack for power.
looked up the price here in NZ $107732 , ncludes GST, ROPS Cabin with Air Conditioning, Rubber Tracks, Factory hydraulic hitch, 1500mm tilting wide bucket, 300mm spade frame bucket, and GP bucket.
Well now, if you're going to buy a mini excavator you won't go wrong with a Yanmar. I like that cab style,..great for narrow and close work places , like foundation work etc.
did that with a kabota mini ex but drove it off the deck on to a block retaining wall. the mini ex only had 4 or 40 hours on it cant remember it was 9 years ago.
Too cool. I bet the passer byes we’re going ,, huh,now that’s something you don’t see everyday. Wonder why he has to use a trailer to dig from?? God bless and peace from Virginia. 🚜🚜
the regen button will light up when it is in regen mode if you press it while it is lit up it will cancel the regen and if you do that a few times she will be in the shop for a few dasy while they sort it out, at least that is what the guys at vermeer told me when i picked up our new one
I rented a vio35 for a couple of months. The thumb on that one was quick too but I got used to it. Loved the machine. Very smooth but a bit weak on push power. I’m looking at a Kubota kx 040. But I might look at the vio50. I would be pulling behind my F550 on my new 7 ton PJ deck over from Riggsbee. The 40 with a cab,thumb,two buckets,quick connect,and fancy travel alarm is about 59. I’m wondering if the Yannie 50 might compare price wise.
Your 35 will outpush a kx 40. Yanmar is far superior they makes best mini hands down. I have had both. Now have a new 45. They invented the first mini.
This happens everytime ya have a good year. The accountant will be calling the last quarter saying "You gotta spend some money asap!" Is this same size or bigger then old one? Congrats...She sure is pretty!
That’s an interesting sounding back up alarm that excavator has. I think I’m probably the only person that doesn’t get annoyed by those things. I’ve never can wrap my head around why people in the construction industry hate them so much. But I think the reason why I have such a hard time wrapping my head around that is because their designed to help people like me. And I really hate it when people push to turn them off because if there is a blind person on site at any given time it can be dangerous if the person does not know the thing is backing up.
Not hard to understand why people hate backup alarms, it's extremely irritating listening to that all day. If they did like Europe and start mandating white noise back up alarms it would be so much better.
The only machine i ever drove with a beeper i ran over someones foot. It turns out feet don’t have ears. Also i gotta say that bucket is to big for a heaped bucket of mud. Gonna be a balancing act trying to dig with it.
WPOG84 true story we got a 12k machine with a 24 and 36 in bucket. The 36 I’ve only used once. Ive also rented others in that class 36 in ditching bucket makes sense but 36 digging is crazy with our wet soils.
"Ya, I can get back down". Hold my beer! I don't think there's anything you can't do with any piece of excavating equipment. But, I thought you were a Volvo guy?
of all the people to get the machine out of the trailer Chris is the man for the job, besides if anyone was gonna put a scratch on it,Chris wanted to do it himself.
A new meaning of "digging your way out." lol
What size machine is that about the size of a e50 bobcat?
I foresee another window tint job. Nice early Christmas present.
The best thing I can say to you BRAVO Chris!!!! You remind me of my father with your integrity for doing a good job always. An honorable man gets rewarded...Amen sending goodwill & Best Wishes 👍👍✌️✌️
Wow... a real ashtray. That's something I haven't seen in a long time.
@Juha Tuomala Heh heh No.... literally an ash tray. :-)
@Juha Tuomala Yes
Another good thing about the cab... no more getting splashed by mud.
Lol that’s the first time I have ever seen an excavator in a box trailer! Congrats man, will be one handy machine!
That's how just about everything comes in. Had 5115R tractors come in like that
NewDeereMan wow that’s crazy!
@@eliteearthworksllc , it gets tight in there for sure. Specially with small tractors and TLB's. They wedge those joker's in there. But now they are starting to haul small tractors on car haulers.
NewDeereMan makes sense though. Keeps them out of the weather and from people messing with it while transporting
Easy. We put have put hitachi ex 200’s in 40 foot containers. Along with a tractor. There’s videos of it

he had 2 straps and one was already broke LOL
@@letsdig18 wow
Idk much but wouldnt sliding the trailer axles back been a smart move aswell?
At least they had the sense to load it with the boom facing the exit
Lol he would have had to use the little loader that was in the background to build a pad for it first. To be honest knowing most freight companies I'm surprised it wasn't backwards.
Christmas came early but a more comfortable operator means more production
Congrats Chris man, just bought a straight blade, open cab 55 myself a couple months ago, one sweet machine!

Good choice again on the YANMAR. I have a 35-6, used to have a 15-2 but sold it ( been kicking myself since I did).
The title should read: Yanmar vio 55 unboxing. Congrats your new excavator!
That's bad when you have to dig your way out of a van trailer!! Better keep diggin😎
I can't believe that a pro like you needed a ramp to unload a mini out of a truck. Lol. Nice machine
Good video 👍🏻That would be perfect for cleaning my pond 😊.

Looks like a very nice machine. Congratulations!

Great digger they don't use much diesel best of luck with it 👍👍👍👍👍
