Chris, congrats on Strawberry 🍓 Shortcake. It’s a special feeling when you receive a brand new piece of equipment. Good luck and can’t wait to see you work your magic with it. Big Al
Chris… you actually inspired me to walk away from my corporate desk job and start an excavation business at 53… hope I make it! Picked up a gently used kx057… I already hace a kx 033 and svl 75….. mostly been doing small stuff, but hope to get bigger jobs. Love your videos, you’re humble and share lots of good info. Thanks!
Wow, look at you with your brand new customised machine, fair play Chris you deserve it 👍 just goes to show if you eat up all your mash potato & gravy you get strawberry shortcake for desert, nice 1 dude 😁👍👍
I love to watch you work and enjoy your commentary while you do it. The boulders were carried by ice during the Ice Age . When the ice melted the boulders were left. Think about building a snowman. You make the snow balls by rolling the snow, as you roll, it picks up trash. When it melts, the trash is left in a heap.
Congratulation . You deserve it for as hard as you work , I've been watching your channel for months now and I'm not one much to comment but I have to say your an amazing operator . The job you do and the attention to detail is awesome . Your customer's should be pleased to have you do the jobs and not most other contractors . Keep up the great work .
Congrats, Chris! That little red cutie is going to be very useful! I can see that the tilt on the grading bucket and the blade will be very handy in doing those finishing touches you like to do to leave every site looking extra “purdy”!
Chris, you’re getting quite an equipment Arsenal amassed. Almost Seems like you’re trying to gear up and go out on your own someday. Very nice, can’t wait to see Strawberry shortcake get dirty! Could you do a video showing all your equipment sometime?
I'm very happy for you - this will be a versatile piece of equipment in many of your digging jobs. Thanks for showing the "strawberry shortcake" to us.
Nice addition to the yard! She looks tough. Tinkerbell served you well and Strawberry will do the same. Congratulations on your first new purchase. You sure worked for it!!
Oh that is such a beauty. Sitting here drooling, envisioning what all I could get done here on my place with that beauty. Congratulations personified to you.
That was one tough dead tree! First time I've ever seen a petrified tree still standing! Nice looking new machine that needs a bit of mud on it!! Congrats!
sweet addition to your arsenal Chris. AMI knocked it out of the park again with that thumb setup. Troublemaker joker Jason upto his antics - locking your new toy up, not fueling it up blaming the dealer guys ;p
What did the tall dead pine tree say to the three smaller trees? "There's a brand new 2021 red Yanmar on a trailer that just pulled in to the driveway......it's all over fellas"
I had a feeling you would eventually get your own mini, but I was kinda hoping it would have the ami axxis tilt rotator on it, seems like that would be super handy for some of the work you do
"Strawberry Shortcake" is a nice looking, and powerful, little machine. Will definitely come in handy when you install the overflow on the pond job you recently started.
I love that red paint job on the Yanmar! It’s better than the usual yellow color that most of those machines have! It’s nice to see that you spoiled yourself and got the special features for it!!
Well Chris I’m happy for you brother that you got to get you A brand new Mini , now you have everything you need except a grader and a roller but anyway brother are we missing something here or what just wondering if you’re fixing to break out on your own which I wouldn’t think you would leave your uncle like that but who knows but anyway brother proud of you so you and John and yawls family stay safe and I like the colors of your new mini so keep the videos coming brother
Happy for ya, Chris! That was a very short learning curve on a new machine... you knocked down those trees like you've done that before.... once or twice. 😇
i would love to have one just starting out my new business so that will have to wait but i might have to get one of those snazzy t shirts congrats on the new digger love all the vids happy 4th
Congrats Chris on the new machine. Your hard work is paying off. I know you’re going to really like it. You’re building a bigger business of your own every day. Now you’ll have to hire a new crew to help you.
Oh wow, been shopping Chris, have we? What an awesome addition to your stable. Being an Aussie we always shorten things. So…..I’m thinking either “Strawbs” or “Cups”. Big congrats on your new purchase. Take care & cheers 🎉🍾🎇👏🏼👍🏼🥰
Chris. Very happy for you with your new Minnie. Chris you make it look so easy. The new minn sure has a bunch of new opptions to work with. Please Take Care of your self Plus Be Very Care Full around all Equipment
I love that new machine smell. Makes the long hours and hard work worth it when you can say that it's your machine bought by you for you with your money. I like the red too sets it apart from your standard orange or yellow equipment (even though I like my orange equipment lol)
Congrats! After following you for years, I decided on a Yanmar SV40 with dual PTO. Running a thumb and a tilt at the same time is nice. I did contact AMI but they siad they did not make a Thumb for the SV40. I may have to custom make my own.
@@JasonWorksAlot ... Long trip Eh, Jason. 🤔 l see yo hav. relief driver this time.👍 What is it Pennsylvania or New York 🤷🏻♂️ either way a long trip with a strawberry 🍓 short cake 🍰...!!
Hey Chris. Cool new machine. I look forward to seeing Strawberry Shortcake in many future videos. It would be cool if you did a overview video of all the equipment you have. Keep digging!!
@@colinwallace5286 what you’re talking about is the old snap binders. I don’t know anybody who uses them anymore.I drove a lowbed for Years and the regular rachet binders like Chris is using over the bucket are just fine
@@DirtBrute I don’t think those are even legal any more if you’re “for hire”. I just remember the deck outfit I was working for thought they were saving money using the snap binders. Those things are a large headache.
@@colinwallace5286 I think you're right about them being unlawful for most applications. I've been using ratchet binders for almost 20 years now, I've hurt myself one too many times on the pull-over "widow maker" binders while using a cheater bar haha

Always dress to impress right 😂

Haha nice analogy lol
Prefect way to put it.
Strawberry shortcake gona be busy look forward to seeing it in action.
Very nice
Deep down I still like seeing that Volvo tear shit up 😬
Nice to see Chris buy new equipment after working so hard day in and day out
From a fashion standpoint, every room needs something red in it. That holds true for equipment sheds as well, apparently.
True. Plus accessories and LD18 stickers. Different name would be better like " Lil Red BIG ATTITUDE"
This machine sure is the business , like everyone else I’m really happy for you 👍👍👍🇬🇧

Watching you take down that last pine tree really drove it home exactly how much of a BEAST your Volvo 250 is.
He has a 220 not 250. the 250 is one of the business machines
Hey Chris congratulations on new equipment, been watching you for some years and i have say you are probably the smoothest operater i have ever seen.
No pun intended, hahaha. He's a smooth operator...
That's so cool! I want one. I have no use for it, but I'd love to play with it

Sure gonna miss strawberry, she made my trailer look good.
Don't ask any questions don't tell anyone where you got it trailer sales on 81?
Miss ya buddy! I hope things are well with the wife and little one!
Jason, you get to have all the fun
Hey Jason was the guy in the background your twin brother ? He sure looks like you ??
Lmao strawberry shortcake.
That got a sub from me !
That is amazing the way that the bucket can swivel all around in a circle like that.
sweet addition to your arsenal Chris. AMI knocked it out of the park again with that thumb setup. Troublemaker joker Jason upto his antics - locking your new toy up, not fueling it up blaming the dealer guys ;p
It's got to be a pretty sweet feeling running a brand new machine where everything is clean and tight and it all works perfectly.
Nice machine! I like how well we can see what you're doing.
Every land owner should have one. Congrats!
What did the tall dead pine tree say to the three smaller trees?
"There's a brand new 2021 red Yanmar on a trailer that just pulled in to the driveway......it's all over fellas"
It didn't say a damned thing... It was DEAD after all!
Chris, you and Miss Strawberry Shortcake are a formidable team. Congratulations!
Send Mr Bealy a thank you note. 😂
Lol yea all the work Chris did for him he paid for that machine lol
Crazy ass truck driver. That was the first video of yours i watched. You've come a long way since then. Well done young man.

Congratulations Chris on the BRAND NEW machine! This means that any dents and scratches that it gets, you will be the artist of!
9 million hrs of watching you run equipment and I finally get to see you do some clearing in a machine of the mortals. One of my favorite pastimes
Nice to have your own machines to work with, the strawberry short cake looks great.
Strawberry Shortcake is "Purty"
Congratulations Chris.
Congratulations on the new member to your fleet, 'Strawberry Shortcake'. Looks more fun-working for you and great vewing for all of us
Congratulations on the new equipment Chris, looks real nice !

I want one for the garden! 💕
hell I want one for my apartment balcony!

Love the speed that bucket swivels 13 minute mark.... amazing
Now all you need is smallish off road dump truck like the hydrema 912 😉👍

🤔 Maybe Chris’s plan is to keep growing his business to where he can steal Tim back. 😁
@@basshead2003 Tim get's vacation pay ,retirement, paid holidays, and health insurance. Why do you think he quit?
Best Yanmar VIO 55 video on the internets. Might be the only one featuring this model. I am drooling over Strawberry Shortcake! 🍓
Chris so glad you are able to get a new toy as hard as you work you need to have something nice
YES!!!! 3 prong thumbs on minis .Makes a huge difference .Especially for raking and bushing
So how did you get them to turn up the hydraulic speed on that machine? Too small for an accumulator.
Nice to see you benefiting from all your hard work. Definitely not the 220 but there is a place for every tool. Congrats.
Cute.......I like name too....Strawberry Shortcake.
That grading bucket.... right out of the box, you operate it like a pro!! Fun to watch you. Russ. Esko, Minnesota

For this fast digger even that abbreviation is correct! SSC is former Shelby SuperCars inc!!! :D
