First time watcher, thank you for the video. When you said you'd just bought a new trailer for the new digger I laughed, then you got a new truck for the new trailer... you started reminding me of me. Thanks again, I got a good laugh and learned some good info.
Really happy for you. That is one long truck and trailer. I hope the Volvo does a good job for you. I just bought a demo Yanmar VIO 50 and a 42" brush cutter.. I have not recieved it yet. Love your videos ! They are enjoyable an educational, thanks !
Congratulations! Love the Yanmars. My next purchase is a 36” brush cutter for the Volvo. Seems to be a lot of work for that and not many operators have them. Good luck with your new equipment. Thanks for watching and for the comment.
Well, it's about time for a beer! Congratulations. Does the machine have any service records? Anyway, you have better have plenty of jobs lined up. Your bank account apparently took a bit of a hit. Anyway I am most happy for you. I wish that I was able to help you with your future digging adventures. Looking forward to your next broadcast! Ken
I am friends with the previous owner so yes have his records and we changed oil and filters together when I got it. I’m starting slow and working around my farm till I get more confident with it. Will keep you posted!
@@WeirWell22 great no problems except had corroded hydraulic lines at the drive motors. You need to remove those covers and keep that space clean. Mine was packed with mud and corroded the fittings. $1000 repair for parts
The thumb switch on the right joystick moves it but you have to press the button on the right joystick also to toggle between the thumb and the boom swing.

How’s the Volvo holding up? Just picked one up

Well I’m currently doing the same repair 😂 I’m replacing all the hoses
I trying to pull the starter on this machines. Any tips
Sorry no I’ve never done it. There are not many videos on Volvo excavator repairs. Probably because they are such good machines
How do you pivot the boom arm? I just got one, and can't figure out where the button or switch is. Thanks!

@@arlingtonguy54 Thanks! But I had figured it out a week ago, the button thingy was broken so had to rewire a new switch lol
What brand thumb is that
