Just a after thought volvo missed a trick when Chris was looking for a bigger excavator and he had to go else where for his next machine.

    @genesispuredeaf2390 Před 8 měsíci

    Mike’s advantage was obvious. He has so many projects where he is hooking/unhooking concrete blocks, and placing them. Don’t forget the number of clay pipe he put out into his field for tiles…although they were free, breaking them was wasted labor/fuel plus clean up. Fun stuff to watch and they’re both diplomatic ambassadors for the industry, Volvo, and now, Hyundai….Case for DP (being punny, he’d rather have a case of Pepsi).

      LOL I like Chris and i think he is a great youtube personality and partner kind of for Volvo but to say he has made Volvo more popular than ever is a bit over the top isnt it? His viewers arent the type of people usually out buying these expensive machines because the people buying these machines are too busy working to sit at home watching youtube!
