Yeah

[@williamhenderson9535]

Chris - we are so happy for you! Not many folks around like you these days. It has been so much fun watching you and your business grow over the past several years!!

[@kadamwilliams8742]

Awesome set up! I ran fuel trucks, add a swivel at the nozzle, it will save your hose. We ran big nozzles on our site trucks and ran swivels to save on hose replacements. I say this seeing the hose kinked. When those things rupture at 35 gpm, covering you in fuel…been there! I had to tell everyone I had a new cologne for a few days!😂

[@azlobo7]

The factory should do this automatically. They know the pitfalls of hose kinks and there is not an excuse for not having a swivel.

[@zeke7142003]

Diesel fuel will not come out of your clothing. I know from experience. I got a head to toe shower in the stuff in the Air Force.

They actually designed it for farmers first. Thunder creek company is from eastern Iowa.

It’s so great seeing someone driven and dedicated, getting the rewards for their hard work. Well done!

[@oldschoolhoosier]

Congratulations Chris. This unit puts you into another level for your business. Your truck and service trailer is awesome. Your truck box needs the same wrap (Letsdig18 with the excavator in the background) as your service unit….💥

[@shannonhanagriff3374]

Locks On Each Fuel Tank Not Just Blocked In Lock Everything Compartments As Well.. I Watch Your Videos Everyday During Kidney Dialysis At Center Yall Super....Home Dialysis Coming Soon....

[@metalartcustomsLLC]

100% he needs to wrap the truck too !! Bumper to bumper including the windows ! I’ve seen that done and it looks awesome

[@snappingbear]

Great idea.

[@axe835]

Yes, definitely!! It would look awesome going down the road.

[@snappingbear]

@@shannonhanagriff3374 They already have built in locks on the tanks. It's not like they didn't think of that. lol.

[@donnajkelleyphotography]

Congratulations Chris, you earned it! Working smarter not harder and the saving of buying bulk will add up quickly! Beautiful piece of equipment.

[@IR-nq4qv]

I guess the only appropriate thing to say during a moment like this.... " Fill up and be tank full" Quite the addition to the fleet, Chris, I was hoping for one of them side doors would open up to a mini bar that keeps cold lunches.

[@adamsherm29]

Many of the farmers I watch on here have these trailers. They absolutely love having them. You can also get a tower light for work at night if needed or wanted

[@patrickcolahan7499]

Those service trailers are really something. Watched the factory tour with DP. Impressive place. That will really save you a lot of time, which you have way too little of. Thanks for sharing.

[@craigwavra3495]

Always thought you would end with one of these units!! With the amount of DEF and fuel you can go thru it just made sense.

[@steveperry2314]

Omg Chris…that is so nice! I was wondering how much longer you would go without one! Congrats man…you are a hard working guy and deserve one of those Thunder Creek Trailers!

[@travishauser]

You, Cole the Cornstar, MN Millennial Farmer. All have the crown-royal of fuel trailers! Well deserved!

[@zpakk4499]

Love it when good things happen to good people! Congrats, sir!

[@justinfufun5483]

Hitting the like button doesn't seem enough. Love it. Hope you have a couple of tracker tags on it.

[@robmatthews7972]

Good deal Chris. That should help alot with keeping the machines running and let you gain a few more minutes for you.

[@dandevlin185]

This is definitely something you needed, when Mike DP got his we got to see how the fuel trailer was built, it was amazing. They did an awesome job on the graphics, thanks for sharing your new equipment and game changer, enjoy your weekend, I seen this video on Saturday May 20, 2023 @8:03 PM, eastern standard time ✌️

[@rodneywroten2994]

THAT FUEL CENTER IS OUTSTANDING Chris. You answered my question is to how you would have it filled.

[@myteepatriot4643]

That is a Badass Trailer No excuse for running out of fuel, Air or having un-greased equipment - Love it & the Decals are awesome

[@Rorschach.]

Ever since I saw DP get his Thunder Creek wagon, I wondered how long it'd be... They do a seriously good job and the decals are **chef's kiss**

[@BouncingBaller]

What's even more amazing than that rig. Is that you made it this long without it. Happy for you.

[@rayevans2052]

You gonna make uncle John jealous...

[@jerryhoschouer5131]

Amen There!

[@mlmmt]

Thats a nice trailer to help support all of your tools, great to see you finally get a nice toy to keep everything filled and taken care of!

[@csnelling4]

Before you mentioned the letsdig18 graphics I was thinking they looked very smart Chris. A great bit of kit, you deserve it 👌🍺😎

[@Mapantz1]

That is an awesome bit of kit! I'm excited for it, and it's not even mine. Very well deserved, Chris. Time is precious and you have to make it all count.

[@nelsonannett5427]

congrats this will make life much better and is working well for DP. well earned unit. cheers Chris.

[@blakeb1992]

Thats awesome! Definitely sounds like it will make your life easier! With all that diesel, now you have to make sure you keep a 5 gallon can of regular gas for the pump!

[@TassyDeval]

Wow, that is so professional Chris. A matching logo on the truck now, will absolutely set this off. With the experience Ive had in the past, be wary about the bend in the hoses just behind the hose nozzle when you are filling items that have a high filler cap. The weight of the hose and fuel will gradually soften and make the hose very weak and that will be the place where you will get a hose failure and also a flow restriction. You deserve all that you achieve for yourself Chris. More time to spend with the family, or not. Cheers from Tasmania.

[@InLineDiesel6]

Very nice, yet another awesome addition to the equipment line-up.

[@jjMcCartan9686]

That looks fantastic & its a much needed addition due to the projects you're doing .Absolutely sweet setup chris 😊

[@TallTexasGMan]

We have two of them for disaster response operations. Wonderful design with the six tanks, DEF, Air Compressor, Generator, Welder, toolbox. We also added the LED light tower on top which makes this unit fully capable of working in the field under arduous conditions. The only piece we wish it had but wasn't available at the time was gasoline tanks and pumps. We have a need to pump Ethanol Free for small generators, ATVs, etc in the field and 5 gallon tanks is a real pain. ***Note: It is possible to "polish" your fuel as well. We run water separators, 5 micron filters, and a debris filter. Run one tank at a time, cycle the tank through the pump back into itself. Help keep really clean fuel ready to go when needed.

[@genegoodman5233]

It’s awful that you have to block something in so it there tomorrow morning, that’s just the way this world has gotten over the years. The GPS alarms are great, don’t seem to be cost prohibitive either. Looks almost identical to Mikes, don’t think he has DEF. He got us a tour of the plant, was great. Mike has a lot of tire issues, a company sent him a couple of buckets of tire seal, and it works. If you ever need any sealer check with Mike. Chris, I move around to a lot of channels and really enjoy yours when I’m here, Congratulations it will make your life easier.

[@allenbeaulieu7077]

WOW Chris! That is some setup! She is a beauty and covers all the bases. Incredible piece of equipment. Congratulations.

[@ryanhoward1013]

WOW, Chris Thunder Creek outdid themselves on your service trailer. That's the best-looking one that I have seen. With your logos on, it looks so nice, and you really deserve having it. Now, you'll have to rap your truck to match your service trailer. Congratulations, sir, you have the best because you are the best. Be safe out there, and have a great weekend 😀

[@derrickpettit86]

Yeah his is the best looking one around for sure, badass

[@michaelsnell4034]

I'm in awe. I could never afford your equipment or that much fuel. I would get yourself a short straight section of regular hose to hook onto your airline. I have used those retractable hoses with a staple gun at work. The rubber end thing just gets in your way. but damn is that trailer sharp!

[@bobgrier3103]

I saw this coming when DP got his but it took Chris longer than I thought. A Thunder trailer makes so much sense. Congrats, Chris.

[@heatherlane9270]

Fantastic addition to the fleet - time saver for sure. Love the logo wrap. Wonderful news LetsDig18.

[@richwielechowski5191]

Chris, love the graphics on the trailer! That is one classy rig with the truck, bed and trailer.

[@danielashford2430]

Great job Chris,I can’t think of someone that deserved it more.peace brother…

[@scottfortune9016]

That is a super sweet girl trailer. I've seen them on the road before but had no idea what it was. I thought it was just a generator trailer, but that is NICE!!! Every minute of spare time is worth it for sure! Having it on hand in the field is awesome! Maybe once a week or ten days and then maybe 45 minutes at the truck stop filling up. And if they can deliver it to you, even better!!!!! Congratulations Chris on moving on up in the world. This is going to make your life so much easier! Would love to hear from you in a few months to see what you think, and maybe how much easier it is on you with gas station and fueling time. Just filling up Betty was a huge show in speed. Thanks for sharing Chris!

[@jenkins2162]

Well done, Chris. Growing by the day, reinvest and grow.

[@donaldcason163]

That's a good looking setup, like the logos! Chris you do some great looking jobs, now you've got another piece of equipment to your fleet. Congratulations! Thanks for the demonstration. Take care and I'll see you in the next one!👍👍😎🙏❤️🇺🇲

If there was ever a man that deserves a thunder creek set up ,it's letsdig18 ,wicked sweet setup Chris

[@sambryant5662]

That is an awesome setup that you have, Chris. I can see it will definitely save you time, and hopefully money in the long term. If I were you I'd invest in a hitch lock, though, to ensure that when you're working out of sight of the trailer someone can't come along and take it.

[@Pegasus209]

That's a very nice addition to your fleet! Congrats, Chris... you deserve it!!! I've always said a man is only as good as his tools, and you've got some mighty fine tools to work with. Enjoy!!!!!

[@billwilliams9527]

Cool Beans, Chris. This gonna save a lot's of time. Time is money.

[@tonydurnell7951]

Chris not only a mobile fuel store but a mobile workshop with the air and electric on a jobsite invaluable, all in a nice compact well designed unit. DP is always having to inflate his tyres on his off road truck and his 'Thunder Creek' mobile service trailer is a profit saver if ever there was one. Try logging the save time this system gives you andI feel it will be more than an hour a day, The greasing time you save on the older non central greasing machines (year zero machines) alone is awesome. If anyone deserves a 'Thunder Creek' system it is you as you are one of the few owner operators I have come across in my many decades working in the trade that takes care plus some of their equipment. It will repay you tenfold I am sure. Take care and stay safe and I do love the way they wrapped that parcel up for you.

[@Guust_Flater]

It will pay for itself👍Saving you time and costs by buying in bulk. Nice addition to the machine family.

[@andysprunt9058]

Sir what I truly admire is the way you look after all the equipment - I’d bet good money that whole rig will look just as good 5 years from now. Looks awesome btw.

[@alanhutchins4233]

There's another plus factor. If you have a job that uses the mini and skid steer (whilst your larger equipment is on a main job site), then you still have the tank in the truck to fill them. Nice trailer.

[@davidoliver2826]

Efficiency is time and time is money! And looking good in the process is a bonus! Your entire truck and trailer rig looks amazing! Power washer would be the other thing I might add.

[@runngunn]

Very nice! You might consider putting some locks on each tanks cap since you will be leaving it on site unattended. Probably could get all of them keyed for the same key. Hopefully would deter any theft and or vandalism.

[@letsdig18]

They have built in locks

[@FSEAirboss]

Wow, that is a incredible trailer for you. Got all the bells and whistles that you would need. I am sure it had the price to go along with it, but quality costs, and your time costs as well. Very happy for you.

[@onenuttybuddy]

Chris, Laura and Grant from YT's Laura Farms have one of these fuel wagons for their farm. During planting and harvesting season, this trailer is used every single day. She loves hers! Nice setup

[@stephengarner9109]

What a beautiful piece of kit! Chris looks like my children on Christmas morning!

[@bullittdog4352]

Top notch looking set up. Might be nice to add a small vice and some general use tools to that rear area for field service.

[@TravisM0143]

Congrats on the addition to the fleet! Those are built a couple miles from my place. They build amazing products.

[@Jeff_MT09]

Congratulations Chris - you deserve it! Should make your work that much more efficient and give you some valuable time to yourself. PS: Hopefully those fuel storage filler caps on the trailer are lockable! A lot of money in that fuel. Cheers from Melbourne, Australia. Regards, Jeff 👍😀🚜

[@bobferranti5222]

Chris, that's a fantastic addition to your fleet! I know you will enjoy using it and the free time it will give you in the future.

[@Fatamus]

yeah that comes in handy with the amount of equipment you have. With that it wound only take five gallons of grease to grease my 1954 knucklebuster No12 Cat Motor Grader. Cat of 10,000 zerks.

[@kevins5092]

Heck yeah! I have 3 other KZbinrs I follow., they all have the thunder wagon. Great purchase

[@terryrogers1025]

[@leonardparker1103]

Most of your large farms use Thunder Creek for all the reasons you stated Chris. Super excited that you have one in your fleet. Yes, they did a great job on the logos! Take care Bud.

[@SpeedSmith]

Time is important and this will give you quite a lot back. Well done.

[@chrissterling3225]

Will be handy to have on site . I think I’d switch the metal pipe to a flex hose on the end of the grease gun though . Another idea on the pickup would be replacing the fueling set up with hydraulic tank and pump so you have that covered as well

[@pinwizz69]

That trailer is definitely going to be a game changer for you in cost savings, convienience, time savings and other areas. Next ones to get themselves one should be Matt Diesel Creek and Dirt, Grain and Steel. Larson Farms, Millinial Farmer and Soone Farm could one about now during planting season. That company certainly designed one serious trailer operators can rely on to improve their bottom line.

[@beckyumphrey2626]

Larsons and MF have had one a few years.

[@debbiewebber1582]

Nice😃. I can't even imagine the cost of filling that thing😮.

[@robinparkes988]

Chris, After watching Millennial Farmer, Dirt Perfect, Larson Farms, and other content creators, I'm sure you are going to be VERY happy with that Thunder Creek trailer. Not only does it save you time but also the headaches. Don't forget to keep a toolbox in the trailer with the most common tools you will need for your equipment. Congratulations on getting that equipment!!

I've been wondering how long before you had one.

I lived a few years in NC and Alabama. I had forgot the local dialect. "cut on/off" and "slam full" or "plum full" are very common. Phrases like "right quick" as in "it fills it up right quick" are also common. But the most North Carolina saying you will here is fixin'. "I am fixin' to cut on that pump and get them tanks plum full and it'll be right quick. Then we'll take it yonder down the road a piece and y'all can take a gander at it" All y'all (that's plural for y'all) can mash that like button on your way out! lol
