I work with the company in Changwon, Korea that manufacturers parts VOLVO assembles at the plant you were at (quick coupler, turn tables, buckets/teeth, boom arms, etc). I would have definitely set you up with a tour of that plant too since they are just a few miles away. If you get back to Korea, let me know & I can set you up with some plant tours.
Excellent video (again)! Also, thanks for the previous about your trip over and the information about the Tier 3 vs Tier 4 requirements. The parking lot tour was great! Thanks!
@@eliteearthworksllc just before asking, throw in a quick compliment like, " have you lost some weight/you must have a new beauty regime as you are positivity glowing" should do the trick 🙄
Chris thank you for the video, congratulations for being picked to go to Volvo. I bet you where like me, like a big kid when I went to JCB in the UK to work on the maintenance department for 2 weeks, I was a self employed electrician, as I saw how the machines where made great times and very interesting. Steve in Thailand.
Really cool video. You were right beside the Doosan Mfg facility as well. What a cool country to visit. Hope you did some sight seeing also. Very Historical area!
@2:51 I spotted a Poclain 90P on the wall. I operated a few of those back in the day . Seized a few as well (air cooled engines. ). Later models set off the horn when the cooling fan belts broke.
Given Volvo's respect for your opinions, one could only conclude that it would behoove them to make sure you had an all Volvo fleet to showcase their products !
Whonwould have ever thought that that 1 day he decided to video his typical average day at work and put it on TH-cam would turn into him going to Korea making him a sincere big deal lol. You have come a long way Chris much respect.
yeah volvos are made in korea and the kubota equipment made in japan wich not far from volvo wich japenese are great manufacturing plus the kubota kubotas that made in japan gets inspected by my nieces mom and then gets shipped to canada
@@Batman-wv5ng yeah there not far from Kubota manufacturing plant wich korea japan nice place and kubotas are planing make excavators to a big full size in the feature
When he said, one month supply, I had to rewind. That's a bunch digging equipment. I've thought about seeing Chris run a massive machine. Talk about earth moving.
I'd really like to visit that place and I can barely dig a hole with an excavator. I wonder how much bigger the trees could be and still pull them out of the ground by the roots with that 480D and a thumb? The big bucket for a 480 is almost 4.5 yards. I think I'd probably want to load a few trucks with it, too.
Interesting to see Chris, I have always loved equipment and that is the super store. I do have a question. Why do you like the yanmar mini over the Volvo? Thanks for sharing and hope to see more.
A few million $ lined up in the stock yards, and a lot of digging power, shame you didn't get a free one for visiting lol. I'm surprised that on a lot of them the booms are in the air and not resting on the ground to relieve pressure on the rams. Small tractors made in the 1950's use the oil bath air filters and are still made today
Chris, Not one piece of trash on site on the ground. The landscaping even in the yard was manicured. Impressive on just the cleanliness!!! Was the inside of the factory the same way?? Dabo
This may be a stupid question but do all the machines they produce their have the Environmental Def or do they make some machines without it depending on what country they are going to?
Global warming only takes place in the USA and Europe. That's why some excavators have tier 4 Emissions and those bound for countries that know global warming is a hoax don't need it.
Tampa Bay Dan down here in New Zealand and Australia the only Volvo’s you can buy are D models with no emissions on since we don’t require it but slowly we are starting to see the E model machines down here sadly still with the DEF system
16:08 probably a dealer installed item to keep shipping weight down. 17:08 did he think about taking one of them in his carry on for the flight home? LOL
Is that shop yard concrete or steel plates? Oil bath air cleaners? look under the hood of any 1950s truck Its like a brillo pad smashed into a cylinder, the bottom sits in oil, the oil wicks up and catches the dirt, wash it with diesel and add fresh oil now and again. I'd think a paper filter was more predictable as to contamination.
oh gosh yeah. this country almost seems like a different country every 10 years because it hasn't stopped progressing since then. It's really substantial actually, to the point that people from different generations in Korea have a hard time relating to each other because each one has experienced such a different Korea growing up
That 950 alas has a rack for Extra Counter Weights, 12:15. Rock quarry, Stripmine stuff 😁 I’ve only been to Korea one time, but I have been to Hong Kong 🇭🇰 more than a dozen times For a week Each time, Crazy places to be/see or drive in, For Sure...!! 😎👍✅

You must’ve dug yourself a pretty good sized hole to end up in Korea lol!
Should have brought that 350 Long Reach with all you pond work. Thanks for posting.
Chris, thanks for taking us on a tour of your toy box. Lol. Like a kid in a candy store.
Awesome tour! Thanks for sharing!
Pretty cool the respect they showed you. That's gotta be a great feeling. Its proof hard work pays off.

Chris musta been droolin’ like Niagra Falls!
This was SUCH a cool video! I can’t wait to see more from your trip!
Spent 2 weeks in Korea for work, really is culture shock! Was a very enjoyable experience!
Amazing video! Thanks for sharing your trip
Good video. That would be an interesting trip. I was surprised to hear you didn’t know what an oil bath air filter was.
we are old.....if we have actually used them.
@@frankoch1 maybe so- we had em on 1960,s MF,s
Amazing seeing so many new machines in one place! I wish we could have seen them being made!

Amazing to see Chris, so many nice in line, massive big plant 👌👏👍
Chris, Thanks for sharing that cool factory tour of Volvo excavators. Man like a kid in a candy store. Big boys toys👍👍
That was really cool! Wild seeing that many Volvo’s in one spot! Thanks for the tour! 👍🏻
Elite Earthworks LLC ask your mrs nicely and you can have one ;)
Oliver No! 😂
Oliver 😃 great idea!

One of those sheds and a few 100 excavators and were all sorted, great vid Thanks!

Wow !!! Unbelievable cool 😎. Thank-you for the tour.
Holy cow , that place is massive!!😳🙂👍
Good video Chris, huge plant. Volvo heaven.
That's what you need Chris a 750 fling those trees across the field. Lol
@2:51 I spotted a Poclain 90P on the wall. I operated a few of those back in the day . Seized a few as well (air cooled engines. ). Later models set off the horn when the cooling fan belts broke.
What a great trip! I bet you learned alot.
Man, they must have AT LEAST 10 or 15 excavators there!
Good stuff man... so glad all your hard work with youtube pays off ! you deserve it. Enjoy the trip !
Given Volvo's respect for your opinions, one could only conclude that it would behoove them to make sure you had an all Volvo fleet to showcase their products !
I sure hope they send you a 750 for tree removal jobs! I would love to see what one can do.. Thanks for sharing
Right. That would be pretty wild to watch run
We need a new trailer to haul it.
Parker on gold rush has one
No
Nice factory, but wow look at that back drop, imagine coming into work everyday nestled in the mountains.
That was a fantastic tour I bet it was interesting as hell to see
Love the tour of Volvo plant .
한국방문 축하드립니다~^^
You have put the time in and you have earned it! Thanks
Awesome machinery!
Thanks Chris, you’ll be in your element there mate, not a rear counter weight scratched 😉👍🇬🇧

Now that was interesting enjoyed watching very much thanks 👍
That must be some cargo to ship as the weight alone? 👍

I would be too!

Spent a yr in Camp Casey once upon a time. That looks like a lot more fun place.
What they have a spotter to line all the machines up like that so perfectly placed wow.
I seen everyone of those model volvos excavators here in canada
@Rick Helms no need for a spotter it's the way they work in South Korea, like the Japanese.
Great video Chris enjoyed watching
You're like a kid in a trillion dollar candy store ain't ya ??!!! Lol. Thanks for sharing this experience with all of us Chris !
Great tour....but I did see you drooling over all those toys. Congratulations that Volvo asked you to go.
The view is very beautiful and looks great wow
WOW!!! Chris,,, great post!!!!!!!!!!!
They got enough machines to level that mountain behind the plant.
yeah volvos are made in korea and the kubota equipment made in japan wich not far from volvo wich japenese are great manufacturing plus the kubota kubotas that made in japan gets inspected by my nieces mom and then gets shipped to canada
A Day They got enough machine to level the whole country.Never seen this before.
@@Batman-wv5ng yeah there not far from Kubota manufacturing plant wich korea japan nice place and kubotas are planing make excavators to a big full size in the feature
Love this kind of stuff.....thanks
I wish you would have explained what more of the differences are between models. Enjoying the videos anyway. Thanks
Boy that demolition excavator looks like a badass machine👍👍👍👍 thanks for sharing your trip
volvo,kubota makes a best japenese machines

Thaks for sharing chris . Bill from the uk
So how are you able to get the wider track pads? Great video btw
I had a 62 Ford p-up with an oil bath air cleaner. Worked danged good.
I have been around the JCB factory here in the UK, I thought they had some machines sitting around but this is a whole new level.
Well be proud of ole john c branford the only heavy equipment company in the world with zero debt. Owned outright
Excellent video bro, did they give you a model or two for your collection. Cheers for videoing what you were able too.
Pretty cool trip to Korea.

Only one word needed; WOW !
neat! Thanks for sharing this
My '61 Chevy pickup with the straight 6 engine came stock with the oil bath air cleaner!
Chris, You need that 750. Massive tracks.
You done it! Now i got watery eyes, there are so many and none mine.
Saw some of the oil bath units on ones with deutz, best filter but its not so good on the steep inclines, my old 53 deuce has an oil bath on it.

Are the new 200s being produced in large quantities yet ?
so organize so beautiful,
Well done Chris
Chris,
Not one piece of trash on site on the ground. The landscaping even in the yard was manicured. Impressive on just the cleanliness!!! Was the inside of the factory the same way??
Dabo
The amount of machinery of excavating power in that lot is humbling
From north Carolina to Korea. Wild.
Very interesting and what an opportunity for you to see and provide feedback to the +& - to the company engineers👍
I love the smell of Volvo in the morning......smell's like victory
Turn on CC (closed captioning) - hahaha @ 1:12 ;

This may be a stupid question but do all the machines they produce their have the Environmental Def or do they make some machines without it depending on what country they are going to?
That was what he was talking about, there are a lot of countries that don't require any of that on equipment or vehicles.
The models with a D on the end are non tier 4 machines. E models are for the US.
Global warming only takes place in the USA and Europe. That's why some excavators have tier 4 Emissions and those bound for countries that know global warming is a hoax don't need it.
Tampa Bay Dan down here in New Zealand and Australia the only Volvo’s you can buy are D models with no emissions on since we don’t require it but slowly we are starting to see the E model machines down here sadly still with the DEF system
Crazy amount of inventory sitting there.
한국에 오신걸 환영해요
I spent 4months in Korea. Pohang, but pretty much traveled through out the country. USMC.. Was memorable.
This is a great video 😎
For once "Low hours, mint condition, one owner, all records and maintenance current!" is really true.
That's Changwon factory :)
Seem like Poclain was there first venture. Cutting edge technology
Time frame from start to sitting on this lot ready for sale/transport?
I LOVED South Korea. If it wasnt for their unpredictable northern neighbor, id move there! Seoul is beautiful! I spent three weeks there!
Nice looking new ones....so did you order one..... is on the boat..?
와우 welcome to korea
16:08 probably a dealer installed item to keep shipping weight down.

This explains the trip to Korea. A long way from home.
I noticed that Korea has cleaned up a lot from when I was there in the early 70's.
Theyve cleaned up a lot since like 5 years ago too. He might have just been in a good area too though.
oh gosh yeah. this country almost seems like a different country every 10 years because it hasn't stopped progressing since then. It's really substantial actually, to the point that people from different generations in Korea have a hard time relating to each other because each one has experienced such a different Korea growing up
I have saw a video on Facebook with a Volvo with a telescope boom . Did you see any of those there
That 950 alas has a rack for Extra Counter Weights, 12:15. Rock quarry, Stripmine stuff 😁
I’ve only been to Korea one time, but I have been to Hong Kong 🇭🇰 more than a dozen times
For a week Each time, Crazy places to be/see or drive in, For Sure...!! 😎👍✅
