We were so thankful to have the opportunity to haul this blade for you, Chris! We hope y’all love our Ole reliable Western Star!!! Congrats on your purchase & we hope it becomes a valuable asset to your collection!
Chris is just killin out there. 1 man company and he has enough equipment to run a different one everyday for 3 weeks. They all work and function as they should…. Except poor betty
My first thought was to round that corner on the cabin walk way. Looks like a short cut was taken with the 90 degree corner. Great new piece of equipment. You have been needing a newer grader. Did not know it was your Uncles. Congrats on rounding out your fleet. Nice to see a smart young man. Thanks for sharing.
People like your new to you grader, Chris. A lot of us are looking forward to the next installment of you finishing up on the 9 acre or 15 acre (however many acres it is) pond you've been working on for the last few weeks...a lot of us are really invested in that series being as you did so much work over time to tear it down, clear and clean it, put it back together in stages and steps with the clay you could find and then you flooding it with the other pond and joining the two as you tore out the old dam between them. That was/is a pretty cool, big, satisfying project to watch unfold. ; )
Your business has been growing by leaps and bounds over the last few years and deservingly so. You’ve worked hard to build your business and you deserve to have good equipment. I’ve really been enjoying the daily videos lately.
The fleet is increasing. What a nice machine that seems to work really well. The fact that friends reach out to you saying that they have equipment, are you interested is so cool. Thanks for sharing.
I don't know how you did it. The new 220, 350, and now an almost new grader in 1 year. You work very hard, Chris, and if anyone deserves to be able to do that, it's definitely you. With this horrible economy and you are booked up with work. You are definitely a great businessman. Congratulations on your new to you, grader.
Chris I’ve been watching you for at Least 8 years. All ur Hard Work n Being a True Craftsman of ur Trade. You Continue to Build a Great Business n Life for urself. Thank You For Sharing it with us. I’ve learned a lot from watching you too. Much Love and Respect to You Chris 🤙🔥🇺🇸
Well, I said it months ago, buy I'll say it again I see another equipment shed being built in Chris's future.... wow, and that grader is BIG and it's a Volvo!! :) Yeanl!! Love the videos!
Gotta say I really do like that little grader and it has the perfect engine in it. Only thing it needs is the hoses swapped ( I’d definitely keep what your good at), and some window tint. Amazing how good she still looks. You did good. Remember it’s just money and it will return the investment. 😉
That’s asking for RUclips to de-mon the video. Music/radio is not good for making videos for money. People forget to turn them off when filming and bam there goes footage or any revenue the video would have made.
I like the idea Chris using the grader at home to get used to it that way when you get on a job site you'll have a better control of it and can make things right look sad if you're not on top of your machine in front of a customer😂
I don't know when this video was shot, but if it's not too late you might see if your concrete person can raise the left side going down on the curve. As a person who uses a wheelchair, going down the walk and gripping the left wheel on that angle you can tend to slide. If a person had a few cold ones in them and was in a hurry to get down to the fire it may make for a fun ride. It shouldn't cost any more and don't you know a guy that moves dirt that could build it up and taper it off nice on the right? 😁 The place is looking great! If I ever get to where I can't take care of my small acreage, I would like to find an infill lot in a small town and build something just like it!
A 'sunken lounge/firepit' would have been AWESOME on that patio near the pond! I'm also glad old mate leaves his monster truck parked along the road for people to see... that's awesome haha
That Volvo Grader having Champion Graders heritage, should be a good one to fill you needs Chris, especially with that Volvo diagonal bar across it's grille😄. How can you go wrong with another Volvo in your fleet!
@@mariebennett5739 Of course I didn't say they were ALL perfect ( nor are operators) but being 'man-made' there are some with faults. :) Indeed ALL equipment manufacturers make and sell repair and service parts.
Looks like your sight unseen gamble turned out good. The front entry with the Animal Clinic boulders still looks great. This will be better that Uncle Jon`s Fiat - you have weather protection, and I bet A/C and heat. Cabin and patio are looking good. I think the last time V220 was home you were digging the Cabin pond. You need to find a operators / repair manual for the new grader.
Congratulations on a second hand grader Volvo at that Will make a big difference on big leveling project Chris I all ways like watching these work and amazing on skill of operating system with dinner 🍽️ too follow
Great looking motor Grader It was always my favorite tool of plowed snow with it. A scraped gravel roads put on shoulders and I’ve done a little hot. with grader cat Deere Champion and Galion
Chris, congrats on the fine looking grader. A few videos ago, I seem to remember you mentioning that you sold your flat drum to a buddy that needed it and you bought a better one. I kind of expected to see it in this video. One of these days.
First thing is congratulations on the new to you grader, looks well cared for. I remember sometime ago you mentioned on a video you were kind of on the look out for a grader, and if one came along you would look at it, I think you did a nice job of looking. As far as cost, I think its service life and convenience of having it available when needed will offset set cost in the long run, best to you on the purchase, thanks for the update, enjoy the new toy, most happy for you.
Congrats Chris on your new grader. Appears to be a few steps up on your uncles' grader. It looks outstanding. This will certainly be a great addition to your business..
Upgrade time! Congrats! You should take that box off the front and put a push blade in its place since the lines are already there. Betting the L/R blade control hydraulic lines can be switched pretty easily. It’s just a matter of locating them on the manifold. Volvo should design their own Grader line of tractors. Hungry Man has been doing precooked meals for far longer than Factor and you can get them from pretty much any local grocery store lol. No need to wait!
Hi Chris, I just wanted to compliment you on all of your business decisions. At the rate that you are growing your business. You will be a bigger contractor than your uncle. Always move forward. Try not to walk away from any opportunity. The part time help is good. Eventually you may have to hire full time employees. And this will give you an opportunity to teach and mentor your employees to your standards, Joe Capo.
The Grader is another nice addition to your fleet. Your doing things the smart way & not sticking your neck out too far! Seems this is working out real well for you & will reap huge rewards in the future. Your conc. guys are doing a nice job for you. The curves & layout look really nice. I agree with you to put a radius on the one square corner. It'll tie it all together nicely.
Found a little beauty there LetsDig18 - adding to the Volvo fleet. Your home and farm are looking fantastic and the cabin is nearly done. Well done - dreams coming true.
Chris. I have not commented before. But I felt inspired to say how impressed I am with how you balance the customer work load along with your personal home endeavors. It is truely impressive. Your work ethic is beyond reproach. I hope that you may also consider to also take an opportunity to have a bit of “fun” once in a while. Perhaps you do! Even one evening. My friend, you will not regret it in years to come.
Was wondering when a Grader would turn up as you have bin looking for quite some time Looks like you found a really good one Ill say it again your not afraid to add machines reinvesting in your company and future of such Cabin is looking real good there almost finished Was nice to see the farm again for sure Keep up the good work and watch where your sticking ya Fingers Well done for sure Big Cheers from North Queensland Australia
Nice Man !! I'm glad you finally found one. looks like it works good too, really nice shape also !! Great as Always !! Have a Great Evening, And On too the Next !!
Nice!! I though that was a Cyber truck in the background @ 1:50 but it’s just the roof of a carport 😆 you were about to have to do some explaining! -Brian
The last month I’ve checked out some graders wondering what would be a good size for Chris and what he might choose. 😊. I think an upgrade to Barney is on the horizon.
Nice grader ‘04 that’s before DEF that’s very good. 6 wheel drive it’ll be able to spread dirt for a lot of your jobs. ??? Is it small enough that you can haul it on your gooseneck ??? You can road it to the job if you’re going less than 45 miles. You’ve been needing this machine for a while.
The iron Armada is growing! Crazy looking back 10 years ago when the fleet was tiny. Now you have a number of machines that you own yourself. Pretty incredible. You should have a public list of your fleet haha. I've lost track of what you have now. Congrats on the new grader! Looks great, and I'm sure you'll pretty it up more when you do your usual maintenance. And, considering how well you treat your equipment+Volvo's reliability, it'll last you a very long time.

Ohhhhhh man… was looking so forward to seeing the next installment of the 9 acre pond. 😂 Congrats on the new machine. 👍

That was an awesome view from in the cab! Great to see you getting more equipment to make your job easier!
Congratulations on the new grader Chris
The cabin is looking AWESOME!!
Great looking little grader, should fit in your fleet perfectly.
Well, I said it months ago, buy I'll say it again I see another equipment shed being built in Chris's future.... wow, and that grader is BIG and it's a Volvo!! :) Yeanl!! Love the videos!
Maybe find an instruction manual online for it and hard copy it??? I do that for things I buy, just a thought.
I was thinking the same thing , one of those 100x 200 boxes probably would do it.😂
It’s a valvo and logger wade would say
Gotta say I really do like that little grader and it has the perfect engine in it. Only thing it needs is the hoses swapped ( I’d definitely keep what your good at), and some window tint. Amazing how good she still looks. You did good. Remember it’s just money and it will return the investment. 😉
That's a beauty! Very pristine looking!
Its fun watching your fleet grow!
Congrats, Chris, on your new grader. It looks so good turning in the driveway, and that Western star is awesome
The only words to say is WOW !!!
It's all coming to fruition.
Hard work and patience pays off ,,
Look at you there. No more open cab grader...now you can prissy things up in air-conditioned comfort. Stylin Cris👍👍
You gonna get a stereo in that beast so you can rock out to country tunes like when you were younger 😁😁
That’s asking for RUclips to de-mon the video. Music/radio is not good for making videos for money. People forget to turn them off when filming and bam there goes footage or any revenue the video would have made.
The "square" patio will allow the fitment of furniture easier and offers more space.
Congratulations on the grader brother, she looks great.
CONGRATULATIONS nice addition to the fleet
Another Volvo to add to the fleet!
I think he has a fetish for volvo. HAHAHA. Mind you good stuff works.
That Western Star was absolutely hauling.
I like the idea Chris using the grader at home to get used to it that way when you get on a job site you'll have a better control of it and can make things right look sad if you're not on top of your machine in front of a customer😂
You've got the farm looking fantastic these days Chris.
I love your episodes keep on digging.

Thank you sir.
Nice grader and you deserve it with all of the hard work that you do!
That's cool and articulated machine, turn around is going to be quick.
Great newer grader it's going better in the fall and winter with a heated cab great video thanks Chris
A 'sunken lounge/firepit' would have been AWESOME on that patio near the pond!
I'm also glad old mate leaves his monster truck parked along the road for people to see... that's awesome haha
FINALLY! Now you're a real BIG boy. 😁
Congratulations, you needed that one. 👍
What a cool new toy! You have some beautiful property. Hard work does pay off.
Good for you Chris another piece of equipment to the fleet you must be doing well for yourself 🚧🚜
Love your new Aditions , Chris and it's new Grader Love it .
Letsdig18 decal application for the finishing touch!!
Kudos Chris, you are getting there with all the equipment in your camp. Works better that way.
Congratulations, Chris! It’s gorgeous!!!!!❤❤❤❤
I was hoping we would get to see the doggie. I miss the breakfast runs with them. You sure do have a beautiful home Chris. 👍👍🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻♥️♥️🇺🇸
Love watching them share the tater tots
More equipment Woo woo! Love the videos and as always keep up the great work!
You're going to have to widen your fence gates and entrance road if you keep buying up equipment Chris!
May have cost you some bucks but you're adding value to your venture. Good luck with the new addition to the family.
That Volvo Grader having Champion Graders heritage, should be a good one to fill you needs Chris, especially with that Volvo diagonal bar across it's grille😄.

Looks to be a great addition to your lineup of toys bro, being a Volvo it fits right in too. Safe travels. Ken.
Great little machine. Look forward of seeing it on the 9 acre pond job.
Really like the new family member. Looks sharp❤❤❤❤❤
Rounding that corner on the patio will make it easier to mow or use a trimmer /edger
It also compliments the boxiness of the cabin. I like it a LOT
