Like a kid in a sandbox. Hope everyone has a wonderful Merry Christmas. Hopefully the weather predictions won't be as bad as they are predicting. They do get 'em wrong, every now and then.
They definitely do here in Miami.
Day before yesterday was supposed to be rain free so dummy I am I didn't take an umbrella.
Yuppers, I ended up having to buy a new one thanks to a monsoon rain in the late afternoon.
Thanks for sharing 👍🏻 it is all clear as mud LOL 😆
Hope everyone has a happy and wonderful New Year and the new year bring joy to all stay safe
It's great to see the new number 1 Volvo salesman in action.With equipment like that it's quite a nice job to have.
In my sate
Have a Merry Christmas & a Happy New Year ⛄👍👍👍
Pretty slick! Didn't mention the fuel usage...
The machines have reached a level of accuracy in the work that allows you to save a lot of time
It's got it all! including the Kitchen Sink.
If the dirt world ever went south you could definitely make
A career of reviewing equipment. You do such an excellent job with these videos Mike.
👍 merry Christmas
Merry Christmas
Goodnight 😴😴😴
Very cool! Good question on the limits. I would’ve never thought about that, I’ve been around power lines quite a bit.
wow that dig system looks amazing
merry christmas
They be setting these excavators up to be smarter than the operator! All seriousness though, these guys servicing these machines will need to trained in electronics and electrical and mechanical as well, wow, I will bet the service techs are going to be spending as much time training as working on these machines. I can see the benefits to the electronic controls in overall operation of the machine, thanks for the ride along sir.
wow that's really awesome! I'm sure it comes with a price tag but still very very cool to see how much technology has changed these machines. Your ideas and impute into suggestions and things about these machines is very valuable.
Merry Christmas dirt perfect
Thanks for sharing I’d love to operate some of these newer machines the newest ones I’ve been in are probably mid 90s right before they started adding the switches on every stick lol
awesome new volvo equiptment
Lots of buttons to push, hopefully the youngsters don’t lose the “touch” 👍🇺🇸
Man oh man. It's pretty amazing how much these machines can do anymore. Won't be long until you can feed in plans and just let it go on its own. Lol
It's nice you can go to these shows and show us what's out there that was really cool video thanks for sharing
Yay, DP asked about boundary limits. Thanks DP always been curious about that
Sounds great, but also sounds like the days of guys working on their own stuff or certain parts of that stuff are coming to an end. I'm sure you know farmers are suing John Deere over the right to farm. If your JD breaks down, a JD tech has to come and work on the software side. All the while - you're parked and not harvesting/planting/or whatever. Great video, thanks for keeping us abreast of new tech! Lee
Just what I have been waiting for to see you in the volvo yard again
Merry Christmas to you and your family
Same to you!
🤠 Thanks for the fun videos and wishing you and your Families a Merry Christmas - Tim UK
The Technology for excavation has given the operators lots of flexibility. It looks like once the operators learn all the electronic programming, it could help increase their ROI in fuel and time alone. Great video Mike.
Wow !! What a great machine Another Awesome Video
Just amazing how programmable the new equipment is thanks for taking us along. Merry Christmas. Stay safe
Love your videos
Thanks
Cat has been using electric over hydraulic for years now, there 2d and 3d grade controls are cool once you get used to them, once you program it to the grade you want it will not let you dig past that grade but as you can tell I operate cat more than any other machine but I do still like the volvos we have too. It is good that they're finally catching up to what you can get a a cat for a few years now
A lot of older operators might have a hard time with the technology. I understand you can disable the functions. But WOW!!!
Seems like setting the limits would also be a good training aid for new operators until they learn the feel and limits of the machine. Also, prevent newbies from damaging high dollar equipment. I'm 71 and willing to learn! PS Rodent don't chew or eat pilot/hydraulic lines?
Thanks for taking time to go through the new features ! Definitely seeing machine manufacturers catch up with each other on features and operating systems !
Merry Christmas
Same to you!
Merry Christmas Dirt perfect fam. 🎄👍👍😎🎄
that’s cool it’s going to make it better for the new generation of operators
Some dirt to play on and this is more fun than a Bugatti Veyron at the track :-)
Excellent video. Very informative.
Thanks for making the video.
Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas everybody!
Merry Christmas to you and your family
I ❤ the Volvos and the people behind letting you guys do this I wish more companies would lol have a great Christmas to the whole Dirt Perfect crew
Thanks appreciate that
Technology and change - precision work made easier for the operator - very impressive. Time saving, productivity improved and financial advantage.
Good Morning Mike. Wowww Tech is certainly improving in every aspect of our lives. Younger operators will probably use more of the options than the older guys do, but then it all depends on the jobsite. The screens need to be integrated together I'm surprised they didn't already do it to be honest.It's always fun seeing you test run a piece of equipment, got to keep up with the changes as they come. Keep up the good work Mike!! Merry Christmas Sir.
Thanks for the video, always enjoy watching!
Thanks
Hello from the Netherlands .
Merry Christmas🎄 Dirt Perfect Family
thanks for the video DP .
Sincerely, Hollandduck
This gentleman is the Wikipedia of Volvo operating ! He deserves a raise !!!
I'm near seventy Mike, we didn't all this electronic control back then but have they ever made digging simple. I'd be interested to hear what Gerry has to say about electronic dig assist. As always Mike great video.
As guys get older our toys get bigger and better lol gotta love heavy equipment
Very cool! Thank you and have a Merry Christmas.
Thanks, you too!
Looked to me like Mike was having way to much fun demoing that excavator.
It definitely would be a beast on pond dig out jobs.
He would need two more Bubba Dumps to make the EC550 return on investment...
Thanks for sharing your thoughts, ideas and videos. Always interesting to see the new technology being demonstrated. Was wondering how the grade level would work for example when your using the back of the bucket as a rake. Wishing you and your family the best and a merry Christmas.
That was a great video, it kinda opens up the opportunity for someone disabled that doesn’t have the use of the foot pedals
Almost 20 years ago, Terex had a material handler with electronic controls that they sent around the US and Canada as a demonstrater. They had similar stops that could be set to put material on the machine hoppers. We used it for about a week. One day, the cab heater controls wouldn't work. It was putting out maximum heat. I thought it might be a computer glitch so I told the operator to shut it down for two minutes then restart. That cured the problem with the heater. A couple of hours later, the boom ceased to operate. He again shut it down and restarted curing the problem. The next day the boom control stopped working again. The operator tried a restart then nothing worked. I ended up disconnecting the batteries for 5 minutes the re-connecting them and everything worked when it started so we had the operator move it out of the way to bring another machine in. Electronics are great, until they don't work. Computers have come a long way since then.
Yeah, but it was Terex. They’ve always made crap.
Verry good info video thanks🙂🙂
Unbelievable how fast they are advancing
Nice 2D system .
Don't forget to hit the thumbs up 👍👍👍
Always before even watching the video
@Bambi .M so do I I believe this is the best on TH-cam never boring always great content 👏 👌
Great electronics......just more GREMLINS to deal with when stuff goes wrong and you need a computer just to fix or require an update only a service tech can fix and charge an arm & leg plus your 1dt born just to pay to have it done!!
Goodmorning Afternoon evening and good night all
All that new stuff is really amazing stuff until it quits working! And normally isn't that after the warranty is done lol
Volvo incorporated the kleeman safety system in their excavators
Merry Christmas Mr DP and Mrs DP and children hope you have a happy New Year
I live right outside of Shippensburg, and my next door neighbor, Lars, works there.
Very cool. I’m curious to know what OS it’s operating on and they mentioned any “anti-hacking” protocols they are using. Will Volvo shut it down from remote if you miss a payment? I’ll bet they could! Thanks for the video Mike and God bless y’all.
@@BravoSeven if they’re smart. Chrome OS is Linux based but not sure if it’s robust enough.
Uh oh, looks like Mike found the right controller 😂
Very neat and informative, yall have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
You need this machine! It has a Pepsi holder at your right hand.
In a few years they won’t need an operator. Just have a technician program the dig and hit start. 😮
I guess in the next iteration, you'll be operating it from home in your easy chair.
Merry Christmas to all and Happy drunk New Year🎄🎄🎄🔔🔔🔔
very sweet machine , tech is doing alot to help speed things up
Just about need to be a flight engineer to operate it bro. Made for great viewing too. Safe travels
Merry Christmas Mike. Good and informative video
Thanks, you too!
MM77 Approved 👍🏻👍🏻
i wonder when they're gona develop an id card saving operators settings to move them from one machine to others not just a saved spot in the single machine
Hey DP I wish you and yours a merry Xmas and thanks for the entertainment
Thanks for watching
The technology is almost scary Mike. Getting to the point of artificial intelligence, where the machine may just decide to make decisions on its own because it's so smart.
My concern with some of those options. Is what happens when you have a computer glitch. The machine won't let you do what you need to. Remember computers aren't perfect. They are programmed by people. Is there a way to master override? God bless
The new machines are nice and full of "goodies". More "goodies" equal more things to go wrong. I guess I'm just old school Mike.
That lockout is cool as shit
At this rate, you could put Gunner in the seat and tell him to load a truck an it would only dig as deep as you want, the swing would be controlled so he didn't hit the truck and would do a lift the jib boom up to go over the truck and then dump his bucket in the truck. Now I know that I said this poorly but even say someone still learning the controls and how to do a proper load a truck function.. (I hope I can get this right) first do the fill bucket, now lift the different booms to get the right spot where the bed of the rig being loaded is at, it will lift the jib boom and curl the bucket for the operator??? I am almost certain it will not do quite that much yet or a dummy could be placed in the seat, it would automatically start loading by itself. I did better on my first try and just blew the last one for sure. I am a old man by most peoples thinking at seventy three. If I remember right, your right hand man who is retired, as you now figured, I forgot his name but it may come to me yet! I have troubles for sure with names, numbers are not so much so I can remember the number to my house but may not remember the name of the street. I can tell you right now that this is not fun at all. All my kids are sweetheart or sunny but their name is not coming to me till they leave and its too late to say Tommy or Becky. They do say that they understand my situation but the looks on their faces say different. It really hurts my feelings that I am this way. My nurse and the doctor I go to call it a partial dementia problem. Not to worry as my kids will forgive me. Some mornings I go around the house looking for my wife, and after a few minutes remember that I am divorced. While I was still a very wealthy man who was making a ridiculous amount of money in my lumber business and also my repair shops. I had seven figures in my banking account. I got hurt real badly with no personal insurances on me, just the wife and kids. After I came out of the coma I was in, doctors had their hooks into that money. I had to sell all of my equipment and then the land and buildings cause I was basically out of my head, I did not know even my wifes name or face. Doctors repeatedly said that I should of died when the vertebra at the top of my neck was mushed up.... its not like all the other vertebra's in the system where its gristle or bone. Its soft tissue that connects to the brain. I say stuff and someone gets their feelings hurt and I did not mean to do that at all. I am saying this Mike, I do wish now that I had died cause no one has stayed with me or been a truthful friend. A grandson would come to see me and ask, "Hey pops" can I use your wrecker or some of your tools? I had some of my older stuff that I would just clear out of the shop and fill a smaller garage I had for my hobby. I took older rigs that were ready to come off of the road for insurance reasons. I would replace all the running gear and fix any damages to it, then do my best shot at painting it up. Most came out "okay ish" but not real sweet. One day my grandson came in and told me he was getting married so I gave him that shop, the land under it.... about a small acre of land is all, a dump truck that ran great but needed a new tilt hood to be right, a old lowboy truck that was legal for the highway along with a fifty ton Rogers lowboy. All of my stuff still looked okay from fifty feet but then the different things like mud flaps ..... dang.... I just told you my life story and your not even going to read it. I am sorry and apologize for this.
@7:58, oh that pains the OCD side of me looking at the mirror out the left window LOL
Boy that's a far cry from the old koring air over units that I learned on great video thanks Mike
No pilot control system, now similar to modern aeroplanes, theirs is fly by wire, so this would be dig by wire !
Clever technology for sure, still can't replace your 120 though!!! 😁
I hope you can graded to any hazard
Ex. Electric wire. House 🏡
Or if you are in a tide spot
Wow, that's notcher Daddy's excavator, for sure. Looks like really practical technology!!
It has to be user-friendly and easy to work or you spend more time figuring out how to program, or figuring out what went wrong with your settings, than doing it manually
Goodnight gotta watch in the morning
Nice to see you visit LetsDig18's business when he's not around :3
Howdy Mike now don’t Chris have that on his new 220 Volvo I really think you need a 220 ton if you don’t have one yet you hell of a operator too you guys have a good ditch digging manor with a dam good attitude great teachers of the trade 😎🇺🇸 3:46 from the North Country NY
Yup he does
Merry Christmas to you and your family Mike and the Dirt Perfect crew . This was a very good video. It’s amazing how far technology has came
Really nice review. You are definitely up on the advances of this new equipment.
Thanks
Stuff like this will make you wonder if the Hyundai was Dirt Perfect or not. Operator is still the key to everything. Maybe Mrs DP is willing to have a new Volvo to!
I know LD18 hasn't really played with many of the new settings yet. Though he has played with others. As you said.. Nice machines...
Mike that is IMPRESSIVE! I build swimming pools but not with the sized machines you run daily. Obviously we use mini’s, I’m curious if any of this tech is being or has been integrated into the mini’s? Or does Volvo even make a mini? Like anything else our grades are extremely important for budget constraints, this would be one great trainer and $$ saver!
Soon Mike you will be sat on the side of the site in your control seat watching all the machines doing exactly as you programmed them while you sip on a cold Pepsi and catching some rays or having a little nap.
Merry Christmas all
Hey DP amazing technology on these excavators ,but I drive modern trucks that stop and are disabled by technology glitches that require a service tech to come out to fix it ,the driver can't get the modern truck going anymore it's usually some sensor that stops a 14 litre motor ,plus I think it will be interesting to see how guys like you get on when your so hands on with repairs to save money on maintenance costs,let's face it Dealer on site service is very costly .I think tech is fantastic but is it making better Drivers/OPERATORS or dumbing down our jobs I would be interested in your thoughts on one of your video,s
MERRY XMAS HAPPY NEW YEAR TO YOU AND MRS DP AND THE KIDS
KYM ADELAIDE
Nice machines, just be careful automation can automate you right out of a job.
One breathe away from full automation
