Tree stumping is alot like waking up beside a fat chick after a night out.., yeah you know how you got there but it feels uncomfortable.

[@randycarpenter2914]

Morning, and it's impressive how quickly it takes them out. Hope to see a timed comparison with the 220 and 330 to remove a stump. In this case, I think size matters. If you get a thumb for it at some point it will be a tree removal machine. Thanks for a great video.

[@RamminRanch]

Oh it will get the “let’s dig 18” style thumb

[@Manoffire260]

⁠@@RamminRanch- Didn’t Chris say the 330 will not get a thumb due to weight and cost issues? It would not be economically feasible.

[@TsunauticusIV]

I ran a Volvo 330 excavator for quite a long time. Did land clearing and even dug that super hard blue shale with it. From what I can see… the Volvo 330 I ran was a LOT more powerful than the 330 he is running in this video. I was sorta shocked at how hard it struggled trying to pull stumps. I used the Volvo 330 to clear a lot of land for a large landfill and I got a lot of time pulling stumps in and it was rare to have the machine struggle at all to pull a stump. I did evergreens to hardwoods like red oaks and it did not struggle that hard. So I’m not sure what’s going on. Perhaps his machine is in super eco mode? 😂

[@mib20000]

ya he said no thumb. Cost wise would be in the $50,000 range with a bucket and thumb @@Manoffire260

[@jamesbyrne5734]

With the stump pick being so narrow it could do with a thumb instead of just trying to balance bits of stumps on it . He might find it more beneficial at the end of this job🤔🤔. Good luck with the Hyundai Chris . Nice machine 👍🏻

[@Skoalman]

That's a really great addition to your business Chris. Love seeing you grow! Great video. Keep um coming!

[@donnal.oglesby4806]

I love Chris's enthusiasm as he is working with the stumper, and just the happiness in his voice says it all.! Chris is like a one man show, how the heck he does all these different projects, at almost the same time. OMG that stumper just rips those right out with little problem or issue! Amazing!

[@stevenlatham4397]

I was skeptical at first about not having a thumb, but after watching this video, it seems to do just fine. That stumper has an excellent curve angle to scoop them up, ran by an excellent operator.

[@davidcokley1929]

Hey Chris, I just LOVE a great stumping video. With that BEAST of an excavator, those big stumps didn't stand a chance. . . . . 👍Stay safe out there.

[@ralphjelomono9068]

Compared to my tired old Hitachi EX120 I thought the Volvo 220 was the stumper ticket. Now I see the 330 beast stumper in action and I am in awe. That combination is just a beautiful thing. Glad to see it meets your expectations. Love watching stumping operations.

[@AkAv8er]

Definitely the dynamic duo of slash clearing, and that new excavator is a stump monster!

[@RumMonkeyable]

Wow! Such a tight fit!! Loading and unloading of the 330 looks easy when Chris does it! 😨😊👍👏✨😍

[@rickywallace98]

As I'm watching you've only made five pushes of about fifty metres long, and its plain as day that you're going to have a lot of burnpiles on this Job! Crack on mate it's lovely to watch. THANKS

[@user-ks1ho3xn8x]

Chris, looks like a thumb on the ripper would be a great bonus and make the job even easier

[@dennismalcolm6620]

CHRIS IT IS SO GOOD TO HEAR THE JOY IN YOUR VOICE ABOUT THE NEW MACHINE AND THE STUMPER!!!!.YOU KNOW I LOVE FISHING AND THE SAYING IS THIS BIG BAIT CATCHES BIG FISH 🐟 😀 😄!!!.THIS MACHINE IS GOING TO MAKE YOUR LIFE EASIER ON THIS KIND OF WORK...

[@colinratcliffe2454]

Chris, the 220 is still a good machine and it got you started. The 330 will make it a lot easier and quicker which is really good for your business. Love your videos. Cheers from Australia. 🇦🇺

[@Curt-dc6cd]

The 220 is a good all around machine. The 330 is like America during WW2, mass production at it's finest. I've seen a couple jobs lately where Chris is stumping large areas, like this job. And also the pond in the valley, oh yeah 👍 that's where the 330 will shine. imo

[@kensmith8832]

The Yellow Jacket problem, I found that wearing white keeps them from seeing you and if you paint a black spot near the front of the machine the bees will attack it. You will need to put a white seat cover on your machine. The black spot can be held on with a magnet, if you don't want to paint. The idea is to reduce your IR signature.

[@scotabot7826]

Chris is turning into the Go To man for the job!!!! He deserves all he has coming to him too. That's what constant hard work, and a I can do it attitude will do for you!! No excuses, just do the work!!!! Things have changed since I first started watching 8 years ago!

[@valuedhumanoid6574]

I had to rent an excavator for the first time. Folks, it took HOURS before I could even make two motions move together smoothly, let alone what Chris is doing. That boy has it ingrained into his muscle memory like no one's business. I was like a pig on rollerskates. He's like a ballet dancer. I cannot express how hard it is to make those machines move so smooth as he does. An eye opening experience

[@tylergodfrey2800]

The ripping sound of the roots being torn is amazing!

[@davidchapin8297]

I have said it before, but congrats on the 330! It is going to be a game changer. I could feel your excitement as you was popping those stumps out. Keep on keeping on

[@stevesheller9223]

After watching the first two stumps come up, I’ll bet it won’t be long before he has a thumb put on this new machine. Makes clean up so much faster and complete, YMMV.

[@clifforddgreen1296]

I must say Chris, that 330 definitely has some heavy but behind it and definitely make those type of jobs a whole lot faster and easier glad you were able to get something you really did need🎉

[@memyselfandifarmer]

hope your uncle is doing well.

[@applianceman6194]

That 330 is a beast on those stumps...however I can see you miss the thumb. On the 220 with the stumper on, you would use the thumb teeth as a rake to clear roots away and move soil back into the hole. I am wondering now how many months it will take to install a thumb. At times over at Geoff's place digging out the basement, I couldn't help noticing times the thumb could have come in handy.

[@bones2610]

I am happy that you're able to step out on your own. And doing well. Those babies are not cheap to buy and maintain. Let alone fuel. There is a helluva lot that goes into owning your own company. You do it well.

[@Vickie-Bligh]

I love hearing the enthusiasm in your voice. Anything to break up the tedium of a repetitive job always helps. From your statement, it sounds like you aren't working with John on a regular basis anymore. I'm glad for you, kinda sad for him. Thanks for sharing, Chris.

[@25vrd48]

Size matters with the right equipment , production is the name of the game . You gotta spend money to make money and you've made some very wise decisions Chris . It's fantastic that your able to afford the right equipment and your customers will be pleased with what you'll be able to do in short order and save them money and you being able to do jobs quicker . Very good video and the stump remover is awesome .

[@zfilmmaker]

It’s all Chris, not the equipment. He could do the same job with a 1997 Linkbelt junk excavator…let’s be honest. The success of his KZbin channel allows brand deals like Volvo and probably Hyundai. As a excavator owner operator, I’ve learned so many tricks from Chris through the years. He really is a excavator savant.

Nothing boring about watching you pluck stumps up. I enjoy watching every one of them.

[@terryrogers1025]

I think you have an excellent combination for stumping and raking with the 330 and the D6. That stumping attachment is looking to be a perfect fit for the 330. Thanks for the tag along video sir, a pleasure watching you and the 330 work its magic.

[@Pegasus209]

The right tool for the job sure makes life a lot easier!!! I believe I may have said the same thing when you got the D6, but it may have been a man is only as good as his tools, as I tend to alternate those two phrases. If you spend more time ripping, less time digging, and get faster loads, the machine is paying for itself. Excellent decision!!!

Definitely enjoy watching the 330 with the stumper! Doing some of the same work in years past it feels like i was grinding my teeth digging around gum and pine stumps with a bucket but watching that stumper yank them out it feels therapeutic to me! Congrats on that purchase Chris!

[@pinwizz69]

And, the 330 proves it's a stump diggen' beast. The one he called a big stump looed like it 3 seperate trees sharing the same patch of ground and it just took them out like they were planted in butter. The 220 would have taken an hour of hard digging to get them out. According to some he's taken out in the past with it. Awesomely entertaining Saturday afternoon episode Chris, thanks. 🎉

[@bobbalbirnie2478]

A boy and his toys grows to a man and his machines! What an awesome tool for the box, I could hear the grin in your voice as you tore those big stumps out in 6 passes with the 330. Sure makes quick work of clearing the big areas, so happy for you with your progress and breaking out on your own, congratulations on your success, it is well deserved! Be well.../B

[@katherinerose446]

As adults we need to look back when we were 10 or 11.Did we get the nurturing we needed if we did then we want our children to feel the same,if we did not have the love and safety a child should have then as parents we should want even more for them to have that security and knowing there is someone who can give that to them. We as a society have become so self centered and unconcerned for anyone else we are falling behind in a nurturing nation failing those who need love the most. No one has to agree with me, but one person at a time showing love as you did for three days Will be remembered by those boys.Thank you.

[@anthonyjohnson100]

Imagine if that claw was attached to one of those vibrating rock hammers. Maybe a bit more arch to them so you could just curl and vibrate almost any stump right out of the ground in one pass.

[@jonnooney7102]

I had always run excavators in the 312, 315 class clearing lots and went to work for someone else on a utility crew that had 330s. Felt like I was cheating then .

[@mattlynch2823]

[@erickaiser501]

Very nice! The 330 is definitely a big difference on the large stumps, far less bouncing when the roots release. The larger machine should reduce wear on the smaller 220’s also, which means a longer life. 👍👍

Don't ya love it?! You dig and dig, hear those roots snapping, the back of the machine comes off the ground and it JUST WON'T BUDGE! You finally figure out the right angle and pitch for the bucket, come in, start pulling the arm back while you curl the bucket... and see one Tiny Little Movement and you holler... I GOT YOU NOW, YOU SOB!!! You pull the arm back a hair, curl the bucket, see that stump coming up in... Surrender To Thee Master!!! Love it, Chris..........

[@johnaikema1055]
