Motor grader, 160, 220, 250, 250 long reach, A30 off road, d39 dozer, TL12, both yellow yanmars, and the smooth drum roller and johns and not mine. Aka the family business. This is strictly all my personal equipment
I think I can speak for all of your viewers when I say that we're so happy for your success are proud of all hard work you put in! It's been an awesome journey and we're excited to see the next steps!
Congratulations on your continued success. Your work ethic and straight shooting with your customers has kept you very busy. I recall when you had the Link Belt excavator and lived in the "mobile mansion", and that seems like forever ago. I would love for you to do a video describing how you calculate a price for a project.
You can't deny it was nice to get it all in one spot to get that memory/photo/video. Been here from the start and I'm proud of you man. You have come a long way and can not see where the future takes you and the channel.
It would probably take my whole paycheck just to buy the fuel burned during the making of this video😂. It was interesting to see the whole fleet together. This is one of my all time favorite youtube channels. I wouldn't have guessed that I'd find excavation work so interesting. I especially enjoy the pond work.
Thinking back 10 years you have achieved more than most would in a lifetime - Congratulations LetsDig18 on your hard work, many hours, clever organisation of projects and dreams. The fleet is awesome.
Funny, I remember that comment too. At the time, you can tell he was extremely nervous due to the big financial investment. However, it's nice to see how it worked out and even though he just bought a brand new 2022 Volvo 220, he still loves the 2017 Volvo 220 because it's the one that transformed his business to a whole new level where it is today.
@@MrStarchild156 I remember that to he was saying that to Charlie and I still laugh about it but boy he's come a long way and I can't be more proud of him, he has earned everything he's got and he deserves everything he has
I’m a lifelong woodworker who has worked on or built everything basically from scratch on my dad’s place. Started in high school building trades. I learned how to do finish stairway and interior trim very early in my career and have been successful craftsmen in my trade and know how dangerous running equipment can be. I’m amazed how many different pieces of equipment you have acquired. But what truly amazes me is how smooth you make it look when you are operating it.
Chris, you don’t just buy equipment, you adopt it, the equipment seems to have a happy home with you for life sir. Thanks for the ride along, enjoyed the display.
@@letsdig18 Next we want to see all the trucks and side by sides and even any toys like 4 wheelers lol you know we will never be happy! Dont even get us started on wanting to see all the animals and a drone tour of the properties! haha
Congratulations on being able to put this together and show us your fleet. I always admire your expertise in operation of so many different types of equipment and enjoy all the videos.
First video I watched was around the military haul truck days. Going from there to all the new family equipment to finally building out the Letsdig18 Excavating Co fleet has been amazing!
You've come a long way since you first started your channel Chris it's amazing how many machines you now own it. That's called a well-run business 👏 and you are a genius on those excavators
Thank you Chris, for putting out a quality video every day! I forward them to my eldest Son who sits with his young Sons each night before bed and watches how equipment is supposed to be used. Cheers from Canada.
If they could talk every one of them would say how happy they are to be with you as we all know how much love you have for every machine & how much you care for them. Thank you Chris .
That has GOT to make you proud of what hard work, long hours and believing in yourself can do ! Love the way you had all of them “ smiling “ at the end ! And that Ford can just sit there and outshine the rest of the fleet 😁
Chris, you really impress me. You have come a long way in a short time. You display a tremendous equipment operator, businessman and an immaculate property and equipment owner. As a retired Navy Seabee Construction Mechanic, I'm very proud of you and wish to meet you sometime.
Very happy for you Chris . All the hard work has paid off as you have a great fleet . Congrats and best wishes for 2023 . I have watched since day one and will continue to do so. Thank you Chris
This was a great video , could tell as you were talking about them that it hit you. Dreams that came true , your equipment on your farm , your business. All of your hard work and achievements kind of hit ya there it seemed. Well congratulations to you Chris , all very very well deserved with your dedication. Wishing you the best for years and years to come.!!
It's great to see a young man like yourself accomplish so much from your hard work. We know it's hard work because you have documented it for us. Keep on doing what you're doing and we will see even greater things for you in the future. I hope you have a very good accountant that can help you take advantage of all the depreciation you are eligible for with all that equipment. Great video and I'm glad to see a North Carolina boy do good.
@@Indyfester Don't think John ever gets his equipment in one place. It either sits on the last job site until its needed again or moved the next one. Chris has posted videos in the past of them jump starting john's equipment to get it onto lowboys as its sat for so long.
Man, when you and your uncle both show up, a lot happens in a short period of time. I know it helps when you both know what each other are thinking, what needs to happen next and the fact you make every move count.👍
Well deserved and you earned every single one of these pieces. And you take great care of them as well. Looking forward to seeing the new projects in this new year you have lined up for them. God bless you Chris.
Thanks for sharing that Cris. It was nice to see all the machinery I could remember all the pieces of equipment except for the blue tractor. I guess I have been a subscriber for about eight years now Ray from Oregon.
Chris, that was delightful to see all ur lovely equipment & so beautifully arranged, well done young man. I hope u have a productive, progressive, profitable & enjoyable 2023. Congratulations on ur setup so far 😊🥰😍💖💝🇬🇧
I KNOW THAT YOU HAVE DIFFERENT BRANDS!!!.BUT YOU HAVE MADE ME A BELIEVER IN THE VOLVO BRAND. CONGRATULATIONS ON ALL YOUR EQUIPMENTS YOU HAVE WORKED HARD FOR EVERY THING THAT YOU HAVE 👏 👍.
Love the end of video, looks like they are waving and giving us all a high five. Congrats Chris! You've come a long way. Best of luck to you in 2023 and I can't wait to watch all the upcoming projects.
You've done well for yourself. Since way back when you was on the first videos. Hard work, tremendous amount of drive, and always being a professional. The elements of success.
Put that shot of all the machines extended on a T-shirt. Pretty cool to see everything together. Many have probably said something similar, but, you should pat yourself on the back for all the success you’ve had over the years. Very impressive. You work hard and deserve your success. Congratulations and best wishes for continued success!
I thought sure you had a roller as well. That’s a very impressive group of machines Chris. I’ve watched you work long hours when most excavating business owners would be home sipping on cold tea from their porches. You definitely have worked your tail off for everything you have collected. Great collection and Video.
That has got to be an amazing feeling, to know that once you get all those together that they are all yours and you should really be proud of yourself for what you’ve done and what you’ve accomplished it is not over yet there’s still a long road ahead of you and probably more equipment too! Great job like this one
Looks good! A time lapse of all the booms and buckets going down would have been cool you can play it in reverse make it look like they are all doing the wave!
Dude you must be so happy with your progress! You deserve every little bit of greatness due to your hard work, commitment, advanced experience and knowledge. Love watching your videos. Cheers mate.
Very impressive Chris ,You certainly earned every piece of equipment you own. But 13 is an unlucky number wonder what you will do to rectify that lol. Well done man . Respect from Scotland.
I think that since I have been watching Let's Dig 18 with Chris, he has bought most of the fleet. I really enjoy his work. seems like he is a friend at this point. Thanks Chris.
Chris you should be extremely proud of that fleet! Your hard work has paid off over these years and I've enjoyed watching every step of the way. Keep it up 😀
Needed that 2nd farm as a parking lot for your toys; great to see the herd all together. Need a tanker and lowboy to drag them all around and keep them in go juice.
Now that is impressive and certainly would shock your competition knowing what you have accomplished. I know you have support from family and friends. You also have built a nice reputation for your self for the good jobs you have done for customers in your area. Most of that equipment new and is in very good mechanical shape. Not easy to do when you use most of it daily. One thing customers know when you start a job your equipment is going to perform to complete it on a timely basis. Hope the new year continues to bring you wealth and security for you and loved ones. Your videos you continue to publish are always entertaining. I know this leaves you with little spare time. But thanks for sharing this part of your daily life with us for our entertainment.
@@jaquigreenlees That's true, but the last time the 220 was down, he said he needed to do aomething about that, and I knew at that moment he was going to get a second 220. So from adverse events came a backup plan but also the ability to work two sites at once with 220s, which is clearly something he was going to need to be able to do. It worked out.
This is so cool to see Chris. You work hard for what you have and you do great work. I get such a kick out of seeing people succeed, and to see you succeed and prosper doing something you love is more awesome. Keep up the good work, and please keep making your great videos.
I remember your comment in your video when you bought your first 220 “I’ll never financially recover from this”. Looks like you recovered nicely. Please keep up the great videos. Really enjoy watching. Got to spend money to make money.
That's a hell of a fleet u have man. U've came a long way an ur still going strong. Love ur channel an the content u put out. I've been watching u for a long time an i look forward to seeing new videos from u 💯💯 Stay safe out there stay Blessed an keep striving for greatness 💪🏾😎😎
I think you have John beat. Believe he has the older TL12, Komatsu dozer, Dynapac roller, Fiat grader, 2 Yanmar minis, Volvo 160, 220, 250, 250 LR, A 30 haul truck, On road dump. Did I miss any?
Chris, that is an incredible array of dirt-moving equipment that I have been able to see you purchase over the years that I have been watching you and your Uncle John's Excavating business grow, it looks to me like the only piece missing is a scraper for the big pond jobs.
That is a Wonderful Array of Equipment - wow ! You can see the Drone Shadow on the Sand ! 13 Machines and going for Number 14 ! Thank You also soooo much for Your Explanation on all of Your Machines ! Betty is a Sweetheart !!!! As You said - these Machines made You what You are Today and You are very Successful indeed ! Hey - You fired them all up and what Beautiful sound it is indeed ! You look after Your Equipment so very well ! Many Cheers from us in Australia !!!!
I thought there was a grader & a roller in the mix but they must be Uncle Joh's. Almost looks like a line up for Richie Bros. Auction. Lots of time & money invested in that collection, very impressive!
Chris you have to be so proud of what you have built and accomplished it shows your work ethic and your talent thanks for the tour of your babies 😁👍🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
Thanks for the tour Chris! Great drone shots & music too. Looked like all the gang was smiling with all the blades/ buckets etc in the air. Your a fortunate guy to be doing as well as you are. Your amazing work ethic has alot to do with it! Keep it up!!!!
You are one of my two original RU-vidrs that I continue to watch and you’ve both blown up to greater gear, toys and equipment. Your trailer to that house is a great example. You did leave out the F-250. What about a “shorts” video on the drone you use and why you prefer it?
Hi Chris it would be interesting to repeat this display in 10 years time just to see what changes and or additions have been made to the fleet by then.
Why wait 10 years he'll be adding more equipment within this year I'll bet. Congratulations, Chris, you have worked very hard for what you have, and you deserve everything that you have. Thank you for taking us along. Be safe out there
This was an interesting video. This is the first time I’ve ever seen all your equipment lined up like this in one place. I can’t wait to see what you have in store for us in this new year.
That is what hard work, determination will get you! Chris it's great to see what you have accomplished in your young life. I look forward to seeing your videos everyday. And I thought that the grader that you use was yours also.
Hi there, I've watched you add most of the equipment to your fleet. I think you should be very proud of what you have achieved in such a short time. You've worked very hard to do it, and I look forward to watching you for many more years and to see what you bring to your fleet next. You keep up the great work you do 👍
Man what setup. You’ve done very well for yourself. I think I need to move where there is more dirt work going. Some real projects with some real production. Here in WNY, there isn’t much going on. There is but not that much. I’m currently laid off and not happy about it. I started searching in the Virginia’s and Carolina’s for work yesterday. I’d love to get something of my own going but it’s almost impossible in NY with all the red tape and bureaucracy. You need a ton of upfront money or have the right connections to work under and I have neither lol. You’re the man Chris.
Fantastic equipment lineup. That is something to be proud of. I'm sure the equipment fleet will grow even more over time. What happened to the orange grader? I know it broke down, but I thought you got it fixed.
Very Nice! Like they say big boy Toys,,,You have them all ,,like when I was a boy diggin in the dirt playing Army and Cowboys & Indians, Thanks for the Memories!Let's Dig18. Can't wait for the next pond!!!
Thanks mate and I do understand how much it took to first gathering all the equipment in one spot at one time is a feat in itself and to then walk them all over and position them...shoot the walk around the start them lift all arm/buckets into the air for the drone shot and then get them all back to the loading point to load them out to the next site is nothing short of impressive so thank you very much and keep up the great work...heres hoping we all have better times ahead
So proud of you sir. Been watching you grow for years now. I was so excited to see the entire lineup that my heart was pitter pattering when the video started. Congratulations sir, you both earned and deserve them all for the hard work you put in daily.
You got just about everything you need to do the kind of work you do and you keep your equipment up nice. I didn't see the grader you have used in your videos thanks for sharing and thanks for the videos
Great video, thanks for taking the time out of your busy life to show us all your equipment. Been watching you a couple of years now and looking forward to seeing more from you. Take care now.
Congratulations to you Chris. It's a fantastic collection of machinery. I've watched your vlogs from the start and you've kept me entertained all these years. Well done and sincerely hope there are many more years of work for you and for us to enjoy watching. Happy new year. xx
