Special Delivery New Machine!

[@briangardiner1015]

of all the people to get the machine out of the trailer Chris is the man for the job, besides if anyone was gonna put a scratch on it,Chris wanted to do it himself.

[@francesstratton695]

The best thing I can say to you BRAVO Chris!!!! You remind me of my father with your integrity for doing a good job always. An honorable man gets rewarded...Amen sending goodwill & Best Wishes 👍👍✌️✌️

Congrats Chris man, just bought a straight blade, open cab 55 myself a couple months ago, one sweet machine!

[@alanheffernan4383]

Congrats on the new machine Chris! Just check that the hydraulic flow is set to “grab” mode on the console for using the thumb. We just bought a new mini and ours was set on “hammer” mode and the thumb was wicked fast like yours there. Switching the setting slowed it down just right for us.

[@sandrarivera285]

Could hear the excitement n yur voice. What a beautiful piece of machinery... 👍

[@brandoncreech8810]

Maybe hot in the summer too. Out of all the cab minis we have had, none of the ac systems can seem to keep them cool in 85 and up. Winter will be nice though. Nice machine!

[@jimmyturner3715]

As a truck driver that pulls nothing but box trailers I would have been really really hesitant about hauling that cuz I seen no good way to tie it to the floor and those straps that go in the E Track there only rated for couple of thousand pounds a piece. If I had hauled it. It would have looked like Spider-Man had been in their. I hope he had more than the two straps hanging in there on that machine.

Hi love your videos, watch them any time theres a new upload! I'm very fascinated with construction vehicles and am considering starting my own excavating business in the near future. (I'm 15 yrs old) and these videos really give me a good idea about all the maintenance and work that goes into a business like this.

Great idea never to soon to start, maybe start a lawn care now and you can build your way up.

[@jbbuzzable]

There's a lot more work than what you see on the intertubes, but if you are prepared to do a lot of hard work, you will succeed. I wish you the best!

[@craigschofield64]

There is a ton more behind the scenes stuff that happens before any equipment moves even a shovel full of dirt. That said a young man of your age is more than capable of being successful at it, and you already have a leg up on being very successful because your motivated and want to be successful! I am not real familiar with the Excavation business Personally But with any business if you are motivated and committed you can and will be successful! If you are truly wanting to get into the Excavation business, I would PM Chris and let him know exactly what your experience is right now, then let him know where you would like to be in let's say 2 years and 5 years then let him know where you see your business in 10 years. I have been watching this channel religiously for about 8 or 9 months and I would bet my right arm if your serious about your future Chris will give you solid advice and recommend what you need to do to be successful at it! IMO... Chris is a rare man when it comes to sincerely & honestly trying to help other people in his line of work! Most business people are more than willing try to help as long as your not a competitor, but I truly believe that even if Chris and the company he part of, would still give you straight forward advice. It is rare that you meet folks like Chris and his uncle in the business world, and I believe that they would steer you in the right direction no matter what. I also believe that if you were their only competing company for the same job and you asked for advice, they would tell you up front that they couldn't help you this go around because they were bidding on the same job. 99% of companies would give you bogus advice and steer you down the wrong path as apposed to telling you that they couldn't help because they were bidding. I Truly believe that they are that honest! Now I may be totally wrong in my assessment of Chris and the family business but I made a good living for 30+ years on my ability to judge folks and their character and I was correct 95%+ of the time. My advice to you is to do your best to get on their good side and PAY ATTENTION when they are gracious enough to offer sound advice. My best advice to a young businessman such as yourself is to ALWAYS ALWAYS do the best humanly possible to do what you said you were going to do 100% of the time! I always told my kids and the people I was lucky enough to have working for me, is 1 thing...your reputation good or bad will follow you for the rest of your life, and it only takes 1 screw up to ruin a lifetime of good work! My dad had a saying that he religiously lived by....You can have 1000 of "at a boys" to your credit, but it takes only 1 "Awe Shit" to wipe the slate clean! Work hard, Be honest and always always do what you promised and you will be successful in whatever you do! Good Luck to you young man!

[@toddreynolds8875]

Them yanmar. Great machine. I just bought a new Hyundai 35 last week too. But u dont have the heart to get rid of my yanmar 37. Been a great machine. We only use our minnie couple hundred hours a year. But damm handi when you need it

[@george8873]

Another good thing about the cab... no more getting splashed by mud.

[@billmacartney201]

Great choice Cris. Yanmar make a great minni excavator, powerfull,smooth and easy to controll.

[@jasonm9023]

Bought the exact same machine about a year ago, absolutely awesome...that is other then the pedals. Not sure if someone with tiny feet designed them or what but I ended up having to make new ones

[@randallwescoat9224]

Nice machine. I'm glad they changed the door on them. When I looked at one of those a few years back, they had a glue seam up the middle so door would curve around side of cab. That was another reason I went with a Kubota. A couple of friends here have Yanmars and they can't wear them out. I love my Kubota though!

[@eosjoe565]

[@dmithsmith5880]

Nice ! Yanmar makes great mini's.. my buddy has a 1992 B-50 and the thing is basically indestructible. It has like 16k hours on it and has only had to replace basic wear parts, it needed a new bucket at about 10k, a few bushings here and there, an occasional pin.. put a new set of tracks on it and that's about it. The engine, hydraulic system and drives are pretty much bullet proof.

[@moultonditcher6187]

Yanmar,kubota,japanese machines are the king,they have refinement and hydraulics down to a tee.There focus on fit and finish are undisputed.you made a great choice.i just bought a U 25 super series Kubota.

Nice mini, I’m thinking about getting that same one. When the sales guy explained how it would come, I imagined it but this video explains it. I have a vio50-3, Yanmar is the best at that under 12k operating weight...

[@jackpinnell3973]

REALLY like the Yanmar excavators!!! IMHO they are the premier excavator for their size/class!!! Good choice on your part Chris!

[@charlesbourgeois9029]

Them and kubota for sure. Takeuci misspelled seems to be nice too. Kubota just pisses me off. I love there stuff! We just need a 100 120 and 140 excavator. Also give us a 100hp loader. Also surprised they don't make a solid damn TLB even just a 16k one idk haha

[@Bill37nj]

keep those fittings greased good because the pin and bushings wear out shorter time than kubota or case

[@chadder19k]

Also I don’t know if your new mini is like the one my work got but the problem I’ve all ready run into is when I’m digging and the hydraulics build their pressure once they hit a certain psi they won’t build anymore like the old ones did, I was told that’s set from factory and we can’t change it

[@Free-j3t]

You could drove it straight off without the dirt in 30 seconds by putting the bucket on the ground, once your off sitting on an angle spin round put bucket along side the van trailer lift yourself up off the truck and back away and put yourself down on the ground... easy as for any real operator!

[@J2498]

[@dallascoppedge2734]

the regen button will light up when it is in regen mode if you press it while it is lit up it will cancel the regen and if you do that a few times she will be in the shop for a few dasy while they sort it out, at least that is what the guys at vermeer told me when i picked up our new one

I rented a vio35 for a couple of months. The thumb on that one was quick too but I got used to it. Loved the machine. Very smooth but a bit weak on push power. I’m looking at a Kubota kx 040. But I might look at the vio50. I would be pulling behind my F550 on my new 7 ton PJ deck over from Riggsbee. The 40 with a cab,thumb,two buckets,quick connect,and fancy travel alarm is about 59. I’m wondering if the Yannie 50 might compare price wise.
