    It's amazing how this one client is doing so much to explode Chris' business into the next levels! I had a similar situation with my lawn care company back in the 90's. I was mowing a commercial lot and he pulled up and waved me over and next thing I knew, I was basically his property manager for all his commercial properties! I had to hire more help, buy more equipment and it just kept getting crazier and crazier! He had me for all of my services; fertilizing, weed control, lawn care, landscaping and snow removal! Happily retired now! Keep up the great work, Chris!

    My guess for the new attachment is one that grabs the tree, a saw cuts it near the base and the tree is laid down where the operator wants it to go.

      Volvo was already building this i bet when he got the Hyundai. He needed a bigger one right then , so he got what was available at the time. Volvo doesnt worry about what one guy buys, even if he has a popular channel. Most of his viewers arent in the market to buy a new Volvo. Now, if some big construction company or mining outfit was about to spend several millions of dollars on new equipment, you can bet they would start reaching out and playing along.

      It's a year and a half lead on new equipment these days.
      It's going to several more years for the supply chain to finally get fully straightened out for manufacturers to get caught up with demand plus on lot equipment to sell.
      At least prices have come down to inflation adjusted pre-pandemic prices.
      Immediately after the pandemic ended prices were thru the roof on used equipment.

      As fun as that would be a 550 is to hard to transport to be practical for the kind of work Chris does. Chris said almost exactly the same thing at the end of the job where Volvo let him demo a 550. Key part of the job was Volvo paid the transport bill and sent their mechanic to put the machine in/out of transport mode.

      Well, the governments got to get their tax money from the diesel and the commie juice. If they get their way the next excavator he buys will have a 50’ windmill sticking up off the back and in place of steel panels it’ll be covered in solar panels.

      @@gaslight5 he isnt wrong though. Yes, its good advertising but realistically how many of viewers of his are even in the business or need a big new machine? If anyone is actually interested in buying this expensive of a machine, they most likely have been operating one for a while and already know what they are looking for. Now people that are looking for one most likely could be on here searching for reviews and channels using the machine to see how they like it and that could be of use but its not very many people in total. Its still sweet to see Chris doing so well and getting another new rig !!
