I Bought A Brand New Excavator!

[@stanleybroadhead7641]

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 🧚‍♀️

[@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.

[@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.

[@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

[@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.

[@justlost2010]

Congratulations 🎊 You deserve it. Beautiful piece of equipment

[@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!

[@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.

[@simonrichtertolderlund9228]

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

[@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 .

[@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'👍❤️💪🙏

[@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!

[@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.

[@bbrcummins1984]

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

[@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.

[@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.

[@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.

[@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.

[@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! 😊

[@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

[@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!

[@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! ❤

[@meyer629]

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

[@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.

[@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 🇦🇺 🙏🏻👍

[@cyberdyne981]

Chris. Well deserved! I figured that breakdown in May when you were working on the BG farm was the moment that you decided to order this. If i recall, a bad wiring harness took a week to get replaced and we could all feel the pain it caused you. Good luck with the new 220!

[@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.

[@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!!

[@pacodelapena]

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

[@louGriggs1944]

Congratulations on the new machine. It looks great. Exciting times. Can't wait to see you put it through her paces on all the different things you do.

[@rickylee3275]

Awesome to see how hard work and planning provides great rewards. Just so happy for you. God bless Chris. 😊

[@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.

[@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!!

[@lukebonagura5265]

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

[@pinwizz69]

Awesome to see Chris got to buy his dream machine. It's a beast that's for sure. He definitely deserves to own and work it. I can't wait to see the first pond build he does with it. Sure would have been a huge help in the Bealy Good pond build series.

[@edadan]

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

[@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.

[@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

[@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.

[@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.

[@NFSGamerful]

Hey Chris, love the new machine, i do have a question or maybe a tip (even for you). Why arent you pushing the back of the bucket into the ground as a pendulum sort of to pull out stumps instead of just raising the boom? If you push out the stick and curl in your bucket, you use the back of the bucket for leverage and you're a lot stronger that way. I use it in demolition to break out reinforced concrete foundations so should also be applicable in your field

[@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!!! 👍👏✨✨😍❤❤❤

[@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 😄

[@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.

[@tonydurnell7951]

Well you sure did answer my question, I am really pleased and was happily surprised that it was a brand new with just PDI hours on it. Enjoy the ride and I can even smell the newness when you opened the office door (cab door). Look forward to being with you on the journey with this new machine, You will need to either put a number on each one or put a name plate so Mr Bealy Good can introduce them to his ducks etc.

[@mikeweagle5523]

Congratulations Chris. You earned this in spades! Kind of telegraphed it a few months back when you mentioned all the miles on the other machine. Looked right at the camera "I need a second excavator."

[@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

[@backroadsriderRT1200]

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

[@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!

[@patfarrell2584]

The very best of luck Chris. I am delighted for you and your new purchase of the new 220. Hard work does pay off. So interesting to watch you do what you do in all your fabulous videos. Take care.

[@markburch7967]

Cool to see you so excited for your first new one Chris. Very happy for you and looking forward to all the new content she will bring!

[@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.

[@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? 🥳

[@jessjohnson5572]

Congratulations! Use it in good health!!

[@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

[@ralphjelomono9068]

Congrats on a beautiful machine. Has to be a great feeling to be the first on the scrape paint off the bucket and get dust on the seat. You sure earned it and it is great to watch you take good care of your equipment.

[@eliteearthworksllc]

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

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!!!!

[@patrickcolahan7499]

Congrats Chris. Obviously, the Volvo 220 is your go to machine. Having two will be a huge benefit, take on larger jobs, work two jobs with another operator and of course if one goes down you have options. Thanks very much for sharing.

Thanks for the tour of the new excavator. For LD18 fans, kinda sorta brings us inside when we know what you're working with and what advantages the machines give you.

[@bishopcorva]

To keep scratches on the downlow, you might want to look into a clear mask film to apply over the sides. It's effectively like a thick bonded Saran wrap made to reflect chips and scratches. Either way, quite nice to see a new whip.

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 👍

This was a huge surprise. Congratulations on the new excavator. I don’t recall you mentioning that you were going to get another one but my memory isn’t what it used to be. I can’t wait to see it clearing trees, digging big holes and popping more stumps.

Congratulations Chris you work so hard to be in a position to buy a new machine. Hopefully, Volvo and the people at Ascendum gave you a great price for the tremendous amount of visibility you've given the Volvo brand. You might want to invest in a nano /ceramic film to protect the paint and the new bucket modifications are beast mode!

[@richardw.foxhall3392]

The only visible difference from the new fly by wire to your pilot line mach is on your back sweep of the stump holes seems less forceful. The teeth stopped on the surface, instead of powering through to complete the back filling extention of the stick. Your movements were smooth and custommery. With all new stuff there is a feel, but maybe there is a tweek to be made in the infinately adjustable control. Again, a well deserved perk for all you hard work and long hours. Well done, Chris.
