Their equipment is amazing. The trailer they made for @MillenialFarmer was super cool, too.

[@garybulwinkle82]

SWEET!!

[@captfuzzy3900]

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!!

[@cuthbertdingleberry2325]

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

[@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!

[@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….💥

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.

[@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.

[@justinfufun5483]

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

[@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.

[@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.

[@donnajkelleyphotography]

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

[@andrewcooper8980]

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

[@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!

[@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**

[@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

[@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

[@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

[@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.

[@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!👍👍😎🙏❤️🇺🇲

[@Guust_Flater]

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

[@billwilliams9527]

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

[@nelsonannett5427]

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

[@robmatthews7972]

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

[@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!

[@RobTuck1475]

Dang Chris,this set up is freakin awesome!! Everything you need to maintain the fleet. You go man!! I enjoy watching you work,best therapy around. Thanks again for taking us along and stay safe my friend.

[@allenbeaulieu7077]

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

[@BeytekinConstructionMachinery]

Interesting details about hazmat declaration and license!

[@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.

[@jenkins2162]

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

[@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.

[@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.

[@rayevans2052]

You gonna make uncle John jealous...

[@jerryhoschouer5131]

Amen There!

[@tsparky236]

Congrats young man you sure as heck deserve this unit. Thank you for all your great videos. Knowing that it takes a lot of spare time you You Tubers to do these for us to watch, it is ver much appreciated.

[@robinparkes988]

Great decision Chris. After seeing Mike use his, I thought that would be so useful for you. It will be a game changer for you. As we say over here, you’re a grafter Chris. It’s a real pleasure to see your business expanding. 🇬🇧

[@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 ✌️

[@SpeedSmith]

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

[@csnelling4]

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

[@robertjwilliams3532]

Man!!! That is the best looking fuel set up I have seen. Handy as a door knob...

[@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 👍😀🚜

[@donnamullins2089]

Chris I am so proud for you. Efficient and Beautiful. Congratulations.

[@joecoleman3069]

Beautiful trailer, Chris! You deserve it as nobody ever worked harder towards success than you. I'll bet DP is jealous of it as he did not get 1 up'd, he got 10 up'd. 🙂

Quality speaks for itself, congratulations on your new acquisition.

[@erkeltree]

Wow Chris, a big boy fuel trailer for the big boy machines. Congratulations.

[@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!

[@Ironhorse41]

Fantastic set up for a contractor, love it. really like the sign writing too ;)

[@kevins5092]

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

[@harveylong5878]

those ThunderCreek fuel/service trailers are sweet. combine with the newly acquired service truck, ought cut down maintenance and refueling,grease times. only hiccup is, could end up like Mikey, get bit cheeky and be tempted to take the service truck and trailer to places neither should be. does make good content getting the TC trailer stuck/unstuck 😆

[@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.

[@douglasreid699]

My dad had (i got it now as he sadly passed away) a powerfab digger, it was a small 500kg digger for the UK market that you could tow places, made in the late 60s early 70s i think. it uses a 5.5honda engine similar to what you have for your pump. my dad tole me you turn the fuel off on the engine becasue if you dont it can flood the carburettor as its gravity fed, and the engine wont start if it has too much fuel as its all about the ratio. cool bit of kit, i remember playing farming sim2017 with friends and we bought a trailer like it for filling the tractors in game. anything that can save you time and give you a better work life balance is a win and worth the cost.

[@kevinkinney5445]

That is one great set up. I've always respected the way you do things right. Congradulations on making another good choice.

[@davidmiller1483]

Very nice and much deserved with the effort you put forth taking us along with you.

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

[@hayleyxyz]

I have absolutely no need for this and I'm still drooling. Looks like a great bit of kit! And those decals are perfect

[@nycat7906]

WOW you are 1 of the 1st one that got the amount in each tank right. Just 3 things. 1. You have to reclassify your diesel from Flammable to Combustible to get out of the shipping papers. 2. And I think Thunder Creek knows this. Those tanks cannot be plumbed together. Only 1 tank can be drawn from at a time. (Basically valves have to separate the tanks.) Alos I imagine you have 1 but based off the GVWR of your Ford and trailer you would most likely need a CDL A to pull that.

[@beckyumphrey2626]

They pull evenly from all tanks selected.

[@nycat7906]

@@beckyumphrey2626 Yes and I believe when the door closes Thunder Creek trailers automatically closes the valves. No all fuel trailers do that. They are manual and the valves are not closed except at the pump. If the tanks are interconnected with not closer in-between them in transport, they are considered 1 tank and it would put it into a bulk package which would require a hazmat endorsement on their license and placards on the trailer.

[@TheBurnsStuff]

Oh snap! Congrats, Chris!!! This is going to make you much more efficient for sure! Knowing you for as long as I do, I know that you do not like to waste time. I really like those wheels on the trailer. I noticed the hose on the fuel hose was kind of kinked. They make swivels for the nozzles that eliminate that. I don't know if that's something you'd want to look into.

[@donaldwright6613]

That's an awesome piece of gear Chris. Good job, onwards and upwards mate.👍

[@tomsoil9909]

That's great!! You will be happy with it!! I hope the manufacturer will be with you when the things that go wrong will be fixed for you! Hope nothing goes wrong!! Great stuff Chris!!!

With the kinds of jobsites you work on - being somewhat out in the middle of nowhere and all - that thing is a game changer for you. I've seen them on several channels (Dirt Perfect, Millennial Farmer, etc.) and if I had a use for it I'd own one. Pretty sweet setup, congrats.

With all your equipment, I was wondering why this wasn’t in the fleet. I’m really to see you benefiting from your work.

[@kenprevatt1267]

That’s a nice set up . I know you are very careful person just make sure if anyone else is using it to fill units up they know that DEF in anything other than a DEF tank can be devastating to other components. You wouldn’t think it couldn’t happen but you would be surprised.

[@heatherlane9270]

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

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!

I was wondering when you were going to get a fueling trailer as the time I had seen you fueling the machinery up after working all day I was thinking there goes another 1 1/2 hr of your day on site before heading home. It is a great trailer and are glad that you had thought about the time you save to spend doing things for yourself. We all see how you work long and hard so you deserve the time for yourself.

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.
