Like an older gentleman told me one time”the harder I worked in life the luckier I got” Congratulations Chris you deserve it!

[@kaboom4679]

That is the biggest part of luck . The trick is making sure that hard work is deliberate and not just a symptom . I know plenty of folks who would own every thing if the only grade they got was for effort .

[@mattwisniewski4896]

Good luck with ypur new babylooks great

[@LeslieMatheson]

It is so quiet, I thought it might be electric at first.

[@Graeme408]

You speak truth.

[@lisareed5669]

Fairy tale 🧚‍♀️

[@jimpumphrey7713]

And now you have the added benefit that if one breaks down you will have a backup. Real nice machine there Chris. It will be fun to see all the new features in operation.

[@fiKon]

What a nice ride Chris!

[@711motorsport6]

Congratulations on the new machine and best of luck with it from a Irish fan.

[@djgrahamevans]

It's been a few months since I've watched some of your videos, but happy to see you happy and congrats on the new machine!

[@regsparkes6507]

I can understand your excitement Chris,.... well done!

[@SmurfnPurple]

Congrats Chris

[@daniele.woodhead1218]

Well 2 of my favorite KZbin channels got newer equipment congrats on the new EC220IE and Mike aka Dirt Perfect is now the proud owner of a Hyundai 210 , it awesome to see y'all grow and do what you love doing thank you for sharing your journey as always God bless yah from Gaffney South Carolina viewer 🙏❤️💯.

[@AndyEMW]

Congrats on the new machine Chris 👍, cant wait to see her up to her cab is silt on a dredging job 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@edwardcarberry1095]

Bring that one at 27:00 time with you as you can then drop other stumps onto it to remove some of more of the dirt?

[@cs-gi8me]

Nice...Congrats as hard as you work you deserve it. May just be me but that machine seems way faster

[@billmorgan9731]

Congrats man.. Well deserved!!!!!! To the victor go the spoils!

[@blakeroffman221]

Hi Chris good luck with the new excavator it's nice and you deserve it you work very hard for what you do for a living not too many people would say that they do what you do but you do a lot of hard work so once again congratulations and good luck with the new excavator there's a big asset to let's take 18 company

[@joeabbott4588]

Does all the extra linkage and thumb and the extra metal hanging around the bucket not throw your machine out of balance

[@christopherleblanc9599]

im wondering if adding the missing edge bars would not aid in the thumb too bucket ability too grasp long logs , seems too large of a gap where those bars should be , thus log slip out 29:54 be interesting too see or maybe a modified edge bar like edged teeth for grip rather than ware

[@bevis226]

1st thing I would be doing is finding that beeper and unplugging it or installing a toggle switch so you can turn it off lol. Those stupid things are annoying as heck but I guess you need to have 1 if you dig in a populated area? Never made any sense to me why they stick those on excavators.

[@rknudson1407]

those are two beautiful pieces of equipment (excavator and kenworth) I'm wondering since the steel lines are now rubber, how long will they last while piling brush on a burn pile??

[@Vickie-Bligh]

Your joy at having this excavator put a grin across my face. Congrats on your new baby, Chris. May she dig well. I am so happy for you. And I agree with everyone else: you deserve this!👍🥂

[@Vickie-Bligh]

Just saw the Volvo video. Loved it and shout out to Todd for making the cut!

[@spewp]

Seems to clear more trees than actually dig, maybe should have gotten something to cut & stump with.

[@garybritt1209]

Congratulations buddy! Hope it gives you years of good service.

[@KenFullman]

But wouldn't it be a simple thing to have a shelf that comes out from beneath the door whenever the door is openned? That way you could wipe your boots before you step into the cab. Some of these operators don't stay on the path when they're walking around.

[@george8873]

Hard work pays off, and you're one of the hardest workers I've seen. Congratulations Chris on your new 220. Will definitely give you more options.

[@kennethhume8628]

It’s quite clear from all the messages that we are all super happy for you Chris . You work darned hard and fully deserve this fantastic excavator . The smile on your face made me smile as well .

[@mftmachining]

True words spoken...same here

[@williamgraham8809]

Watching you and Dirt Perfect both upgrade to new excavators makes me happy for both of you. Your hard work and dedication show and call for that upgrade! Congratulations!

[@evergreen7889]

They couldn’t have done it without KZbin. They dedicate there time to KZbin… to me it’s nice but rather run junk n make more money and invest money into buying real estate.. nice hoe buy with a payment of close to 4000 a month. Can’t justify it

[@tlcbushhogging]

Beyond happy to see this for you. you work your but off between dirt work and KZbin you absolutely deserve a new machine keep up the hard work Chris

[@martymartin2894]

KZbin pays very well if u have a half million subscribers or more, fair play to him I only discovered his channel recently but I see his videos go back years so he's worked his way up with subscribers and stuck with it. KZbin money alone would pay for these machines every month and then he gets paid for his contracts. So it's win win for him.

[@simonrichtertolderlund9228]

Been along for the ride since the old 160. You've come along way, and you definitely deserve it. Congrats from Denmark 🇩🇰

[@patrickblevinsarea7141]

Congratulations Chris you deserve it all the hard work is paying off

[@ngtflyer]

I've been a subscriber since the old 210 and Daewoo days. 12+ years I think! So cool to see you reach this point, buying a second 220 and a brand new one at that! I can tell you are proud of that new machine and you should be. Your hard work is paying off!

[@edrouse9578]

So the question is does it smell like a new excavator.

[@justlost2010]

Congratulations 🎊 You deserve it. Beautiful piece of equipment

[@Mr.Avuncular]

Huge congrats on the latest purchase, can't pry that smile off yer face,like a kid in the toy store. Super happy for you Chris! Now let's go diggin'👍❤️💪🙏

[@heatherlane9270]

The excitement in a new purchase is wonderful - it is written all over your face and in the walk-around. Congratulations Chris, LetsDig18, many long hours and hard work are paying off - you deserve this reward. Was wondering how you could do your projects in leaving the other 220 for later to burn .

[@timothypirnat3754]

Big congratulations Chris. It looks space age. Well thought out thumb design, hydraulic design, and progressive link. I've seen the laser level dig assist on other channels. I think you're going to love it. So happy for you man.

[@bbrcummins1984]

Congratulations Chris 👍 you've worked hard for everything you have.

[@normanchristin1923]

that is a Bealy nice excavator😁 Just keep them pond/clearing jobs coming!

[@spankyhunter]

Chris should have walked into volvo with all those sacks of $$$ then walked out with keys lol

[@Chris-jj7tb]

I was thinking the same thing. Should have a TY Mr. Bealy Good Nation Sticker !!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@martymorse2]

Outstanding Chris! Glad to see all of your hard work and dedication pay off. Thank you for entertaining and educating me on the realities of construction and water management work. All the best with the new machine.

[@mikeznel6048]

Nice man! Congratulations! Good for you Chris. I hope it lasts many, many years with tight pins and bushings, no break downs and great fuel economy.

[@scottfortune9016]

I was just thinking the other day, that it was only a matter of time before you bought yourself a brand new excavator... And here we are!!! Congrats Chris!! BTW,I just saw your video from Volvo!!! They called you an excavator master, and I have to agree!!

[@michaelblack9253]

Nothing quite like a brand new machine! That's so awesome you designed your own thumb and it's got your Logo! Congratulations Chris you deserve it for all the great work and attention to detail. God bless you! Really enjoy your videos evreyday! Thank you! 😊

[@KipdoesStuff]

I got way too excited when I read the title of this video. I can't imagine how excited you feel. Congrats on the new machine. I knew when you mentioned on the Bealy Good job that you would be looking for a second machine (after everything broke down in one week), I assumed it would be another used Volvo, maybe a 160. Never imagined you'd go all out on a brand new 220.

[@oldschoolhoosier]

Congrats on the new 220 Chris. I doubt any of your subscribers would disagree when I say you and Letsdig18 definitely deserve to reward yourself with the best technology that will give the highest return on your investment. Looking forward to watching many hours of excavation work from NC.

[@damo2664]

Good work mate super happy for you. I’ve been watching from the start and have seen your business grow. It’s really great to see. God bless from Australia 🇦🇺 🙏🏻👍

[@warrenbridges4095]

Congratulations on the new machine..You have that old school work ethic that's missing from many hands these days. I really appreciate how you put in all the extra work for us to follow along.

[@eliteearthworksllc]

Congrats man! Really happy for you, that is a nice machine! You’ve earned it man! 👍🏻

[@christinesveistys6016]

Well said Brandon!!!! It's also great to see how well you guys are also doing!!! I call you guys the 4 amigos!!! Lol!!! LD, DP, Dirt Boss and you of course Mr Elite!!! You guys work so hard and deserve all the continued success!!! It's been so much fun to watch all of you and seen you grow all your businesses in all the different ways. You guys keep on doing the same things and continued success for many years to come. Your all honest owners and all I would need a handshake from each of you and you know your going to get what you have said regarding the said project. May all of you keep up the continued success!!!!

[@eliteearthworksllc]

@@christinesveistys6016 thank you! I appreciate that! KZbin is definitely a cool community and you’re right it is neat seeing everyone grow and be successful. Appreciate the comment 👍🏻

[@MichaelJones1527]

Looks like Christmas came early for Chris.

[@meyer629]

WOW!! Congratulations and God bless Chris!! This is exciting!!

[@johnwick8138]

Congrats on the new machine Chris! I got a Volvo ECR145 on the way in December. So excited to get that machine added to my Volvo fleet.

[@tomjohntig]

Early Christmas box Chris 😁 fantastic machine I just love Volvo they are super reliable and the ergonomics of the cab are perfect. Can’t wait to see both your Volvos working side by side on a large clearance job. Tom northeast England.

[@blondeenotsomuch]

Seeing it all curled up in the trailer it was like "soft kitty warm kitty, little ball of steel". But it's a Volvo, not a CAT. 😂

[@CatMeow24-qr7uo]

Nice one 😂😂😂

[@chrisk6474]

Congrats 🍾🎈🎊🎉 Betty and Barney have a younger brother!! You are incredibly disciplined and your work ethic is top tier. To many more adventures from the new edition! ❤

[@caseycorey2734]

Congratulations Chris! You work your tail off and the reward is having a brand new machine setup exactly the way you want. You definitely deserve it. Best wishes to your continued success. Looking forward to more awesome videos.

[@nwafab5335]

I watch you daily and am very proud of your new machine (I thought the last 220 was actually new to you) you have an excellent work ethic and I truly enjoy your content - cudos

[@OneEyeCustoms]

I sure hope the new machine does the excavator “chop” like the old ones do! (cut logs in half with the bucket)

[@shannonbrewer871]

Wow chris this is awesome. Ive never met you but ive been a viewer since day 1 of your youtube career seen you grow up and progress through the years and let me tell ya im over joyed to see this purchase youre a hard worker and do top of the line work and you deserve it. Great operators and hard workers are always booked up. Cant wait to see some more videos down the road

[@cityguyinthecountry]

He always makes great videos!

[@wyattearp1418]

Congratulations Chris!!! I’m so happy for you , I can’t stop smiling for Joy it has brought to You. You deserve it, for all you have done. I just don’t what else to say, I’m just so Happy for you.

[@RumMonkeyable]

This is EXCITING!!!!! So, so happy for you as you take delivery of your new Volvo excavator (with AMI bucket). Really looking forward to the first project! CONGRATS!!!!!!! Some days are diamond, some days are stone.....today is a DIAMOND day! YIPPEE!!! 👍👏✨✨😍❤❤❤

[@donnajkelleyphotography]

Congratulations Chris!!! You deserve it and all your hard work shows it! Awesome video, your operating skills have brought my photography skills up to par as I have learned how to and when to anticipate the movement of these awesome big machines.

[@backroadsriderRT1200]

Congrats Chris, your hard work has paid off and it's certainly time to have the latest technology along with your custom configurations.

[@williamhenderson9535]

You've worked really hard over the years. I can't think of a better, deserving person to have a brand-new Volvo Excavator! You go Chris!! Merry Christmas! Lol

[@lukebonagura5265]

So happy for you. Your hard work is paying off. Nothing better than a New machine with full warranty.

[@scottiemedlin1835]

Congrats man I know you’re happy about this purchase !🎉

[@kaydog2008]

That's alot of weight out there by it's self rocking you up and down. She might need a little more (( a$$ )) 👀I mean weight in the back. Maybe? Over all a great purchase for growing your business. All 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍's up❕❕❕❕

[@jessjohnson5572]

Congratulations! Use it in good health!!

[@bentheop]

So happy for you Chris. Thats a great milestone to have your first new big machine. Been watching you since I was about 13 (now 17!) so can't wait to see the next purchases 😄

[@CJLeTeff]

That’s awesome Chris, excited for you dude. All that hard work you do is paying off! 👍👍🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🤘🏻🤘🏻

[@cmankowski9438]

Just an old grandma here - I am so glad the new "joy-sticks" look more ergonomic. I was worried about your wrists developing carpal tunnel or something. Plus you are a great example of taking care of the equipment you have!! Love your videos!

[@MichaelBrown-qn9hi]

Chris, you DESERVE THIS, like you said " I want have to be dependent on 1 machine". We are all HAPPY 😊 you included us, when you picked it up.

[@SPACEMAN_fkYT]

Congrats Chris! Man as hard as you work, no one deserve it more. Volvo should've given you one, or at the very least, a very big discount on the price. You really put their products on the map with how easy you make it look to operate and the quality work that you produce with it.

[@jerrygoggins5663]

Congratulations on the Volvo!

[@colinratcliffe2454]

Wow Chris, what a nice machine. You’ve been keeping that a secret for while. I hope it treats you well and that you have all the success with it. Well done mate.

[@dougmay8924]

Such Wonderful Information!!! Wish I was a young man again & learn from him. Been Watching for years and learning!Starting from my Hospital bed 🛌,,,Don't think I ever Missed a video 📹 😅 Thank GOD 😊 🙏

[@n7565j]

Was there a setting to disable the beaper?? Or did you have to manually (snip snip) disable it?? Either way... THANK YOU ;-) Congrats Mr LD18!!! You earned it!!!

[@pacodelapena]

Congrats Chris, very well deserved. Very happy for you.

[@derrickpettit86]

Man Chris you deserve it man, as much time an hours an work that you do, man that machine is pretty, time for it to start making money, that is the best setup for a owner operator like yourself I think, the 2d is gonna come in clutch, I'm anxious to see the tilt bucket an thumb work together, that's awesome, I seen your post on Instagram, an immediately knew that you had got a new one, man congratulations bud, can't wait for upcoming videos,!! 🤙👌💪🇺🇲 Goes to show that if you put in the hard work, you can get what you want, proof in this video!

[@prinzeugenvansovoyen732]

Volvo had to 1up Hyundai after Mr DPs fabulous review Wonder how much of that Maschine is paid for by the marketing and advertisement department of Volvo North Amerika

[@robnewell6123]

Awesome new machine, congratulations Chris!! Great to see your business grow. As you said - more machines = more jobs. I look forward to seeing how the new grading technology works. Now go put some hours on her!

[@csnelling4]

Happy for you Chris you’ve earned it mate the hours you work !!! , and no squeaky tracks , so far 👏👏👌🍺🇬🇧

[@erikcourtney1834]

I had a feeling this was coming except I thought you was going to get a 250. Congratulations on the purchase. Remember back when you bought the first 220, you said “I’m never going to financially recover from this purchase”. Look at you now. You and Mike (DP) are killing it.

[@terryjennings2356]

I also thought it would have been a 250

[@brettdavis4269]

I love seeing hard working people succeed, and you are rocking it Chris. I'm more excited about this than I was about the D6. This is so awesome, I couldn't be happier for you. If I move to NC will you hire me to work for you? 🥳

[@southernhomesteadtransformatio]

Looks even better than the picture! Glad you finally took delivery!!!

[@Mapantz1]

Wow! What a gorgeous machine! I am so pleased for you. I remember commenting on the first 220 video, and saying that it got me super excited to see a new machine. Exactly the same feeling from this one. That cab looks such a nice place to be and to have the laser equipment built in etc, it will hopefully increase productivity.. Awesome stuff!

[@Bryanb28]

a new shovel and Mr Donnie's A model in the same vid, dam it was a good day

[@johnmcgowan9903]

Chris, This is well deserved. I think you and my wife are the two hardest workers and work ethic I've ever seen. CONGRATSULATIONS!!

[@johnholm8175]

So this is the 220 that you promised to give me if I contacted you on the Telegram app. 😂😂😂😂😂

[@Derek-tk4wf]

What does a machine like that run new anyway? Always kinda thought that if i won the lotto, I'd buy a large amount of land and heavy machinery like this to use.

[@dontneedthishandle]

This is awesome, Chris! I'm so excited for you! Can't wait to see this thing in action!

[@michaelridenour8054]

Congratulations Chris you deserve this so happy for you🤗

[@parkercape9495]

Congratulations Chris!! Beautiful machine!! Love the features on the bucket and thumb. I’m excited to see the grading bucket and thumb work together.

[@TudaTenTv]

I love how your videos capture the raw power and energy of excavators, it's truly breathtaking.

[@expidition07]

What a great complement to the Earth Artists known as LetsDig18 line of equipment. Just watching how excited he was to get this unit was such a pleasure to watch. Thank you for sharing your new machine with us and I will be looking forward to seeing this unit in full operation

[@TC-dz5df]

Congratulations! I've watched a lot of your videos, and you work hard for what you have! I hope you enjoy this machine, and i hope your happy with it! It's very tech savy, it really surprises me how far technology has come over the years! I hope someday im as fortunate as you to get a new machine! Till then ill have to work with my CAT e70b! Thank you for all the awesome content you put out!😀😀

[@6582rg]

What an absolutely incredible machine Chris. Congrats!

[@barryshisler3720]

Congratulations on the new excavator A well deserved acquisition for a fine young man Keep on keeping on

[@kwiks987]

I wonder if you still will put the bucket in raging fire with all these rubber hoses... Congrats on the purchase, hope it puts a lot of reliable hours on the counter.

[@CoolStuff108]

Hi Chris, love the videos, especially with such exciting news. It would be cool to see a video with a side by side comparison of the two excavators.

[@deconteesawyer5758]

Just think of the size of bonfire two of them could make.

[@classrockin]

This is an outstanding channel Chris. You're quite the talented operator, making what is a very difficult trade to learn, look like child's play. That excavator rescue video with millions of views was the very first I watched. SO impressive how you got that machine out of the muck, in under 2 hrs.....undamaged no less! Anyway, I think it's so cool that your business is so successful, you can go buy yet, another excavator. THIS is America people, hard work paying off! Best of luck to you Chris 👍

[@robert.89]

Happy to see your hardwork is allowing you to afford the things you truly want! Can't wait to see you dig more ponds with this bad boy. Best wishes with your new equipment!

[@the_Texas_Bandit]

Recently noticed the timber crews painting the stump tops orange. Must make it easier for the dirt guys to clear the fields. Residential new neighborhoods.

[@edadan]

Congratulations Chris! It’s really good to see your business growing!

[@randycarpenter2914]

Glad to see you have a new machine. I can't wait to see all the functions it has. I bet grade control will be a favorite when digging and pipe laying. Very nice.

[@JSomerled]

I loved all the smaller projects you’ve done overtime.But this machine is a beast.. I can only imagine beast mode projects coming up.

[@andersblom9152]

Huge Grats! Finally you got it :) A good quality machine. Going to be nice to se you work with it. You are relly worth it! Greetings from Sweden!

[@RockCreekEnterprisesNM]

Congratulations Chris. Beautiful machine, and I think you will really love the 2D grade system. It has been a game changer for me working by myself
