New Volvo EC200E Excavator!

[@GigOne]

The scratched earth of "letsdig18" (@ 19:41) was an excellent touch!

[@coltongarber8087]

ikr that was awesome

[@gman4937]

I can see how this conversation goes: "Tim cracked the windshield in the 160. The glass guy says he can't get here 'til next week with a new window. I should probably get a new 200" 😊

[@glenjohnson5701]

Someone wants to replace the 160, with the busted windsheild!! Thanks Timmy!! Would be an awesome addition to your fleet

[@Rel1369]

I'm sure that's what Chris is thinking though the 160 is so handy for the smaller jobs where he needs the lighter machine ie: pond/dam clean outs that I know he's itching to get back too....never have enough mud!!!! He's in so much demand it seems they could get the 200 as a extra, since Tim has been operating a machine a bit more lately.

[@demetresrobinson2694]

The letsdig18 in the dirt was the cherry on top!

[@Mr42960]

Damn that thing is quick!

[@mrs.eliteearthworks]

I bet the guy operating during the drone footage is excited to be on your channel 🤩 That dump truck is sweet! Love the paint job!

[@letsdig18]

That's Justin!

[@chrisanderson9856]

Love the little touch done at the end!!! Looks like a great machine!

[@jimharris4013]

Nice ending. Great signature.

[@DEDBRD-di4yj]

That neon green frame is a nice touch

[@TrevorDennis100]

Justin is a DJI Flying Ace. I was waiting for a happy ending where the President of Volvo USA came onto the scene and said 'Chris Guins, you thought you were here to test the new 200. Well today, Volvo would like to present you with this machine in appreciation for the great work you do as an ambassador for our brand'. Chris and Volvo President shake hands. Justin takes a picture in which we can see a tiny tear in the corner of Chris' eye. Then the drone crashes because Justin forgot he was supposed to be controlling it. (Hey, this is real life where complete happy endings only happen at Hollywood.) ;-)

[@78moneypit]

yes

[@clifforddgreen1296]

So Chris, how soon are you going to get one of those looks like something you really do need

[@ryandoe11]

I just ordered the 160 for my business! Never thought id be making purchases and machines this big!!

[@CarlosHernandez-zr5cz]

That’s actually very inspiring

[@alexosborne5629]

Ahhh, the joys of being a cracking operator and ambassador for Volvo.... You get to play with the new toys!! You could hear a pin drop inside the cab..... Oh, and there is nothing quite like hearing a gravel pile being shifted 😎

[@kWT49]

That 750E would be nice on the drain project you are working on

[@stewbird]

Would be pretty good for stumping.

[@scotabot7826]

Love that Zinc Chromated body on that Granite. Nice touch, as someone is thinking. And the Godwin dump body. Yes Sir, Dunn NC representing quality manufacturing!!!!!

[@Graveltrucking]

Contractors here like 200/210 size machines for ease of transport you can move them on a triaxle tag trailer, most residential job sites a 200 is the biggest machine for the room you have to work with.

[@mjlmbl]

Cab seems whisper quiet. Like the separate angles for comparison.

[@austinsentell1937]

Whenever y'all go to replace the 160 would you go with the 200 or another 160??

[@randomdude8381]

Calls his uncle , hey there’s something we need to get

[@stephenkeefer3436]

Great video, super music, sweet let’s dig 18 touch at the end. Good job Chris.

[@keithdunlap2701]

Believe that was 13 teaspoons full !!! Lolol Yep !! The "Letsdig18" at the end was pretty Sweet !! Awesome one Chris ...Thanks for sharing...

[@duanecarter8043]

Too cool dude!! Love the ending especially. Lmao. Ole lady walked through the den shaking her head again. Like every time. I forgot she was here. I guess I thought she was at squad duty. We be jammin! Thanks for the share. 🙏✌🏻from Va. 🚜🚜🚜🚜🚜

[@davemarks7322]

Very smooth, fluid moves. It's obvious that you are a real expert. Nice to watch such skill.

[@mischef18]

Awesome video bro and Justin, that 200 should fix the 160 front window just nicely but i'm guessing it is quite a bit heaver so maybe not good for smaller jobs the 160 is good at.

[@MrUnknown-wf1xf]

I'm jealous It's always been my thrill, have always wanted to operate heavy equipment like this, dozens high lifts rollers pavers, graders

[@wi11y1960]

Yup that new one is slick. You dont hear tthe bad cab bearings like on your excavator

[@astro1218]

Amazing to see how as time goes on motors are getting smaller and smaller

[@robertrockwell7581]

look out folks Chris might trade the 160. love the letsdig18 logo at the end. nice machine.

[@papaw5405]

Does the new machine come with camera mounts? Got to have camera mounts! And a heliport for your drone!

[@tomwold5366]

I like the location of the windshield wiper & the roof window slides open instead of lifting up & the location of the toolbox...much nicer than the EW 170 wheeled machine I ran Especially having tracks...lol🙂 curious what it weighs

[@jacobmiller4451]

We have mack mixers.. the rear ends are blowing apart.. 15-19.. carriers breaking.. all camel back rears.

[@HughzieTube]

Could big Johns truck haul a 200 legally or does it require a lowboy?

[@stanpatterson5033]

That's what I'm wondering, too... if they can self-haul a 200.

[@tnfescue9134]

Love the sound it makes when swinging

[@randymiller8194]

Yeah it reminds me of cheaper excavators, I had this experience when I had a 200 Volvo as a rental while my 220 Volvo was down. The 220s Built more luxurious

[@jimlong527]

Great video....Volvo owes you one ☝️ major commercial.

[@fivehigh4718]

it is a nice machine thats for sure, volvo really nailing it with market needs and machine size

[@thomasdesmond2248]

Nice touch at the end Chris. Like a dog marking your territory. Lol God bless

[@nealequipment3777]

I see you are in PA again.. That would be a neat place to see.

[@anthonyrobertson1787]

Wow, Chris your so good telling us about them you could almost be a Salesman 👍

[@rynobub]

Maybe even a salesman

[@JifeLacket]

@@rynobub :0

[@rynobub]

@@JifeLacket You're welcome

[@robfraley4210]

That EC200 is a Sweet looking Machine, for sure 🥰😘 But that MACK Dump truck 18:11 is pretty sweet too 🤩🥳👍✅ The very Last job I had was driving a Mack Readymix truck. 🤔🤭😎

[@photocontrol]

That's a nice excavator! Liked the LETSDIG18 at the end!

[@allenbreedlove8906]

Love it !! Can’t wait to demo this machine . I’m a huge fan of 20 ton machines .. Thanks for sharing Chris love all your videos.. Been watching for over 10 years now I guess..

[@bosshogg3548]

Love how you wrote your name at 19:46

[@nicktecky55]

Since a small boy, I've always wondered... how does the driver get the bucket to 'scrape' horizontally? Is it great skill adjusting the two movements? Or is there a clever balancing doodad?

[@paulhusky580bts]

recon nearly every new Excavator in UK use quick release Buckets so people put bucket on other way around when fill Trench with Concrete from Mixer Truck

[@leol1682]

Like the new Volvo EC200E Excavator ,is it replacing the 160 .

[@louisianadirt2188]

Might as well trade in the 160 for the 200. I like the green truck frame, stands out nice! Lol Stay safe Dwayne

[@michaelbrander7881]

So when your 200 arriving to your job site??

[@garymatusavige3639]

My buddy just got big one like 450k to 480 I cant remember what he said they make good wheel loaders and excavator and life time boom warranty for digging in quarry was selling point

[@MrBigblock3272]

😂 pretty cool at the end putting name in rock

[@MrJosephptucker]

This in shippensburg PA? Ran a brand new EC750 there for operator certification

[@chrisjoy4036]

Wondering what type of window tint you use on your machines seems like it holds up good to dust? Also are you using esco shanks and teeth on your ami buckets?

[@raeanker3078]

Come on now your just showing off ,nice machine and seems something that could replace the machine tim broke the windshield on. Cheers from down under.

[@augustreil]

Chris, Do you think it was faster than yours overall ? Once again, I had my Bic lighter out, like being at a Motley Crew concert ! Awesome bro and thumbs up !!

[@mandy8211]

Ill take the EC 750 to clean ditches on the farm

[@marcryvon]

You must have a huge farm !!

[@mandy8211]

@@marcryvon I was just kidding. We have a long reach 200LC John Deere for that. the 750 would crush the ground where ever those pads traveled. My neighbor owns a topsoil company and they have a 750, a 450, a couple of 400's and some smaller stuff. Plus the 750 burns 200 gallons of diesel a day

[@marcryvon]

@@mandy8211 Hey Teddy, man ,I was just kidding too ! That 750 is so huge, when you mentionned cleaning some ditches with it, I just laughed ! Cool down, man ! I'm with you here not against you, bro !!

[@TheSouthernReelMower]

Seems like a good machine!

[@dwightjones5826]

Volvo should give you one of those to use on a job like that pipe job then you and everyone can see the difference

[@eliteearthworksllc]

Man that thing is quick! Nice machine! Love the Letsdig at the end! 👍🏻

[@joedorweiler7733]

What do you have for excavators now i cant remember?

[@paulcox571]

Hello chris use thinking of replacing the 160 with that new 200 love your videos

[@Malandrin]

how many orders have you placed for the new EC200E?

[@MRTYREMULISHA]

Looks nice i used to operate a older 220 was a nice smooth machine plenty of digging power, hows the 200 for digging power ?

[@janvandenbos7085]

That Volvo 200 looks very fast and stabel excavator Chris 👌👍✌😎 i love these drone shots, and the music to it......!!! Wow these writing in the sand looks good Letsdig18!

[@1964amora]

Love the rocking music u got there Chris.where did u find it at?I also dabble a little with an excavator but mine is small

[@ngtflyer]

I'm honestly a little surprised you didn't upgrade to one of these rather than the new 160 you got, but then I guess this wouldn't be small enough to be pulled behind your own truck, so I could see the logic there.

[@chetthejet3896]

Chris the audio on your video is a lot better. Most times I cannot understand what you are saying. This machine is quieter.

[@fqeerexcavator]

Looking at her brings happiness

[@michaelridenour8054]

Hope you get one looks like a great machine

[@jfraz3570]

So will this replace your 160?

[@TheSoloAsylum]

That's probably the fastest swinging heavy machine I have ever seen, that thing flies around..

[@matthewmeuleman9872]

is the ec200e now a part of the letsdig18 fleat

[@DA-zm3oh]

Chris,what's with the florescent green tabs behind the lug nuts on new trucks?I always see them on new vocational rigs,they have a new curb side garbage truck that's on our route that has them,I'm guessing some kind of assembly line inspection thing or something,don't know just curious.thanks..

[@letsdig18]

I'm pretty sure they lock onto the lug nuts and if they become out of line then you know the lug nut has become loose. Easier to visually inspect

[@DA-zm3oh]

@@letsdig18 ok thanks,u right does make it easier for inspection,did ur new kw dump truck have those too?

[@johngormley2192]

Ok this one is gravel, but you make it look easy. And, you get paid to play in the dirt. I childhood dream.

[@BentTreeFarmPa]

So when is it being delivered to your place?

[@johnnymurff4137]

Brilliant video footage, this is awesome seeing gravel being loaded and handled by the excavator and the operator. How many tons were loaded? That truck awesome looks like it can handle at least 25-30 tons. Keep up the good work

[@b.k.godbey666]

How about a how too operate the machine videos for us who just enjoy watching and maybe how you got into doing this kinda work?

[@stormlust879]

i think you need it whats one more to the fleet

[@shammi8133]

Yea but did ya even try the 750 poops and giggles

[@robb1460]

When/How did you add the claw thing?

[@joehlavacek5280]

Did u do the letdig at the end or wus it them. That wus cool

[@petenolte4192]

You brought your checkbook didn't you??? They should give you a discount because its used now I'm thinking 50000 off LOL

[@larrylittletonjr9644]

200 is the perfect size machine. I've never ran Volvo'but komatsu s 200 is it for me

[@donbraden8533]

Nice machine thinking of getting one ? 😎

[@christopherlease]

What will it be like on tree roots etc?

[@coltongarber8087]

That's very talented how you wrote your name in the dirt lol

[@evadvalcourt]

How is it ? I am hesitating between this and a deere

[@DonnaMSchmid]

So, did Volvo give you any "free samples?" I was thinking about maybe one of those new 200s... :-)

[@thatpeterbiltguy5639]

Donna M. Schmid I was thinking about the big 70 tonne machine he’d get some work done with that

[@jameslecompte5100]

I hear that KW, Western Star, and Mack are the best on the road

[@AlanW]

I feel like Volvo should have a sponsorship deal with dig18

[@billbo1852]

It doesn’t get any closer than this to Christmas ha ha

[@JCourts2k23]

I am assuming these are cheaper than a caterpillar? Or do you just like Volvo better

[@duck0fdeathc336]

Volvo’s are a lot cheaper than cat

[@johnnyholland8765]

Are some new purchases or a trade in forthcoming?

[@davincrook9927]

Johnny Holland Not necessarily, he's done a bunch of videos at their proving grounds. As far as I figure it they have the new yanmar and the 240(?) which can't be fun to pay for. Seems like they could get a bigger machine for moving dirt but then you'd need another truck, another helper etc.

[@Steve765]

So have got a delivery date?

[@dannyboy1868]

Volvo is a lovely machine

[@keirakain]

You should get that EC750 next to you those rip anything out haha 😂

[@neusac4590]

Nice job Chris. Are you thinking on trading the 160 for the new 200?. You handle that thing better then your truck. That 200 is sweet. 👍👍👍😉

[@canvids1]

great video Chris thanks for posting loved it.

[@michaelspeakman8924]

I have never seen you use a jackhammer on the end of your excavator. Ever or digging claw.

[@arkansas1336]

Great demo and great machine!

That 200 is quick!!!
