Chris, you're such a good PR man for Volvo they really should give you a new machine to use each year! You've probably sold millions of dollars worth of their machines for them!
Charlie seems to be a very good friend who just wants the best for everyone he knows. Good friends are hard to come by and to keep. Best wishes for both of you.
This video put a smile on MY face even before 30 seconds. "I'm never going to financially recover from this." Oh, YES YOU WILL! This could easily turn out to be one of the best business decisions you've ever made.
Now it needs to be LED'ed. Double up the lights on the boom, and use some hose clamps to attach a couple of lights on the pipes on the boom cylinders. They will then always point towards your bucket, no matter the angle you are working.
If I were part of the Volvo Certified program, I’d be hand delivering a drum of hydraulic fluid and a couple cases of grease with an official apology letter. Some tech obviously didn’t do their job.
@@RockBrigadeCommunityForum It really doesn't matter. Volvo has a 'certified used' program. Buyers should be able to rely on that certification. If Volvo were to excuse themselves from responsibility by saying, "We didn't inspect it, the dealer did.", what value would the cerfification program provide? Volvo should take steps to make good to this particular buyer AND kick the tail of the dealer who screwed up.
I noticed a kink in the right side track when driving off the trailer. It would be really cool to get your RUclips logo and put it where -Arnold's- sticker was. ;)
The way Charley told it, placing the hook close to the end of the boom like that, maximizes lifting power while still getting reasonable lifting height. I am wondering what a Utility Contractor does exactly, and why they would need that hook? Do they lay sewer pipes for instance?
Well Congrats Chris. It's been an honor to watch you grow as an operator into a business Owner over the years. This is a big day for us as your fans as you build your future as an owner. Can't wait to see it digging. Nice to see Charlie come up and support you on such an important day. Cheers
I don't think Volvo does enough for Chris given the amount of people he reaches, the visibility of the Brand and daily demonstration by a highly skilled operator. How about sending Chris some Volvo T-Shirts, Hats, Vests, and a variety of merch to give to his fans which are your current and future customers.
Congrats on 300k. I've followed you for a long time, and you are one of my favourite youtubers. Thank you for all the entertainment you've given. Best wishes from Norway.
Its always good to see Charlie enjoy what he has to say! Aint nothing better than a new to you toy to play with. The night before i got my 1964 CATERPILLAR D7E i got no sleep and almost slept with my clothes on so i was ready at daylight to push some dirt. Good luck with your purchase and will enjoy seeing the master run it!!!!
Hey Chris...im glad you are impressed with you're machine.... On behave of Midwest specialties and myself we are happy that were the trucking company that hauled you're equipment for with out problems or damages ....thank you sir pleasure doing business with ya
" Oh you want hydraulic fluid too, Sir,..well that only comes with our 'GOLD SERVICE"" A dealership is only as good as it's service people! Here's the proof,..I do hope they make good on you having to go buy that hydraulic oil, Chris. Congratulations Chris,...I was thinking though, that you will have to tell us now, when you're working the 'Company Jobs' or your own. Before, this was easy, we all knew if it was the Hitachi, then you're on your own job .
Congrats! ! ! I was wondering how long it would be before you got a new one. I could see how impressed you were at the expo with all the new stuff. You need some extra large Lets Dig decals on the sides. I'm looking forward to seeing her in action!
You need to take Charlie to the auctions if you go next year. He'd have a field day or two. Thanks for the video, Chris. It's going to look great once it has the new bucket and a thumb on it.
It seems like real nice machine. The only feature missing is a thumb. You do amazing stuff with that option, but it works more for land clearing, not dirt moving. That bucket looks ready to do some serious digging. With all that glass the AC will be real handy. My cat and I have to make do with fans, but Boston doesn't get your kind of heat. ( I Hope!) My grandfather was a shovel operator in coal country. You guys do amazing work. God Bless you all. BTW My brother is a long haul trucker. He lives in a very nice Volvo truck, (AC, Automatic, Sat TV, Sat radio. and of course E-logs.) He's come a long way from a 5 ton Army wrecker with canvas top and no heater, in El Paso.
Congrats on the new to you machine Chris! It is so nice to see you reaping the benefits of your hard work. With your attention to detail that machine will last you years and years to come. Thanks for taking us along for the ride!
Chris, it looks like a great buy. 220 a good sized machine, not too heavy to transport. Wow I could not believe this video. Congratulations mate. Very disappointing that the hydraulic fluid was nearly empty. I know it pissed you off. But don’t let it upset you. A big shout out to Charlie for being there for you, he is a good friend to have in your corner. I hope this machine will really go well for you with no problems. Cheers from Australia. 🇦🇺
IF they wanted to save weight by not adding the fluid they should have put a red tag on the fluid door, the control arms, taped to the inside windshield or to the dash so it could not be missed. "ADD fluid"
Congrats Sir, That looks like an excellent machine. I know what its like to get a new machine, and how the excitement is tempered by the daunting realization of having paying for it. Its always great to see a hard working person rewarded for their success and skill. Too bad those "volvo certified" guys had to diminish the moment by delivering it low on oil. All the same, enjoy the new machine, I am looking forward to new videos with it. Cheers from Canada!
Huge congratulations! Been a subscriber since the old Volvo 210 and Daewoo days. How cool is it that you now own such a nice machine with so much life left ahead of it. That machine couldn't be in better hands and I am sure it will pay for itself several times over!
Dear Volvo Corporate, Why would you send out a refreshed Volvo Excavator to a new customer with. (1). No fuel. (2). No hydraulic oil. (3). Needing 3 tubes of grease. Not good enough Volvo, not good enough at all. Extremely poor service!!
Sean ONeill the tech sheet I found says it about 43-55K. Sounds like it’s close to needing permits anyway. Chris had it shipped not wanting to wait for them to add the thumb. If the thumb was added there what were they going to remove then? I say the cab
Not just a new customer. We’re talking about Let’sDigWith18Volvos here for crying out loud!! Everybody makes mistakes I reckon and Charlie got it absolutely right-now it’s Chris’s machine and will be maintained as it should.
@@ko9446 At about 9' 9"/9' 10" over the tracks, it's automatically a permit load. As to whether weight adds any more to the permit, it really depends on the state (some are simply a flat fee, others charge incrementally more for extra weight). I could see running the fuel down (but not to the point of fumes) but I'd be rather ill finding out it was so low on hydraulic fluid. Having hauled Arnold's stuff from time to time, I've learned it can be hit or miss.
Absolutely FANTASTIC. You truly deserve being able to do this.... the past hard work & hours put in to build up what is a phenomenal knowledge & experience .... I wish you all the very best into your next stage and all the success that will come from it.... (and we’ll all be hanging out to watch what gets done). Go hard man!
That's a sweet machine! Well deserved and congratulations. I know that feeling of buying sight-unseen. It's all a roll of the dice but I think you come out a winner! Awesome!
Congratulations brother on your nice ride. Like seeing you and Charlie together you can tell he's a true friend. Have you and Charlie ever done a job together?
@@petenolte4192 It'S CaLLeD SeRVIcE SuPpOrT...you obviously know nothing about heavy equipment, Hitachi is one of the most popular excavator brands, more so than Volvo.
I couldn't agree more. If Volvo hasn't added you to their payroll yet Chris they have to have one of the dumbest sales and marketing departments in the United States if not the world. I have never driven an excavator and I want to buy a Volvo after watching your channel. (In other words when I grow up I want to be Chris.) I am beginning to think I picked the wrong career. I have spent the last 29 years in the IT industry and your channel has convinced me I should have been a heavy equipment operator like my dad, but then again you make it look fun and easy Chris. Thanks for sharing with all of us!
A friend is someone you call to get you out of jail, but a good friend, like Charlie, is the guy sitting next to you in the cell saying ’Man we really ef’ed up this time’. Congratulations on your new Volvo.
You should open up a patreon page I'm sure your fans wouldn't have a problem donating to you this is not only educational it is exciting and I don't know why
You must have found $100K you didn't need. It's like you're gearing up to go out on your own or something. Oh and that dealer should ship you 10 gallons of oil and some filters for missing that.
Wow that machine looks great, I saw the kink in the track also when you took it off the trailer, everyone commenting is worried about it. Not sure its an issue, think it will be fine. Find it hard to believe they didn't fuel it and check all the other fluids, shame on you Volvo.
Just call me "Mr. 300K", since i'm the 300K subscriber lmao!! Good content man! I have been watching you for years. I thought I was subscribed since everything new pops up on my news feed. But I wasn't! So Let's dig'em up!!!!!
I really enjoy and learn alot from watching you, I am so glad your business is doing so well you could purchase this volvo for your work, Have fun and work hard at the same time.
Well that really put a smile on your face, what a great looking machine although they were a bit tight on the fluid side of the deal, hope you get a lot of good work out of it......
The first thing I noticed was no thumb, but I watched the video to the end. Now I will simply say..."Congratulations, Chris!" I’m sure your new baby will serve you well, because I've watched how you care for all of your equipment as well as the company equipment. You’re an example new operators should learn from.
Although I know it's expensive to add a thumb, it may be for the better that it didn't come with one. Chris can now install the one that works best for the type of work he does.
I hope the 10 gallons didn’t leak out during transit. Good that you have 30 days to work out all the issues. Congratulations on the purchase!!!! Looking forward to many hours of videos Sir.
So wonderful to see Charlie around and you two making a video together, What a Monumental Day that your running a late model machine. You will make it work no matter how daunting it is, Looking forward to seeing the adventures being yours into the future, Cheers Matey
Congrats on the new machine Chris, sorry the dealer failed on the hydro fluid, you should complain to them about it and ask for re-imbursement at least. Nice touch on the removal of their logo, I would have done the same thing. Hope it works out well for you for many years to come.
Really happy for you, Chris. Business grows because you make more good decisions than bad and you treat your customers right. We see that about you in these videos and moving from machines with 11,000 hours to 9,000 hours to 3,000 hours is another example of making the right decisions. Not fully outfitted just yet but will be shortly. Wouldn't be your machine without a thumb! Can't understand sending a certified machine out without fluids.
Congratulations on your new"toy" and I'm sure you'll recoup your investment in time. It is a beaut. Love your informative videos and your sense of humor. You southern guys are enjoyment to hear and see. This is all new to me and am glad I subscribed to your channel. Thank you.
Chris, you're such a good PR man for Volvo they really should give you a new machine to use each year! You've probably sold millions of dollars worth of their machines for them!

The sticker said “Silver Service”. What you needed was “Gold Service”
Awesome that Charlie took the time out of his day to see your machine delivered.
So you don't own all your other equipment
Charlie seems to be a very good friend who just wants the best for everyone he knows. Good friends are hard to come by and to keep. Best wishes for both of you.

The way Charley told it, placing the hook close to the end of the boom like that, maximizes lifting power while still getting reasonable lifting height. I am wondering what a Utility Contractor does exactly, and why they would need that hook? Do they lay sewer pipes for instance?

Not fully outfitted just yet but will be shortly. Wouldn't be your machine without a thumb! Can't understand sending a certified machine out without fluids.
Letsdig 18 LOGO needs to go on! AND a refund of $2,000 for their fluid oops?!?!
Your friend is a super nice guy! traveling all that way to celebrate with you! real friends cheer you on!
Best of luck with it health to injoy fair play 🇮🇪🍀
Congratulations on your new"toy" and I'm sure you'll recoup your investment in time. It is a beaut. Love your informative videos and your sense of humor. You southern guys are enjoyment to hear and see. This is all new to me and am glad I subscribed to your channel. Thank you.
Your gonna need to get some letsdig18 vinyls to replace the Arnold Machinery ones
big ass stickers--at least 24" diameter.
Congrats, Chris, best of luck with her, good looking machine, should last you many a project.
And I thought DirtPerfect would have convinced you to get the Hyundai instead!
