Strawberry shortcake gona be busy look forward to seeing it in action.
Jason takes care of his customer so well he even wears suitable matching attire so as not to colour clash.
Always dress to impress right 😂
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 😁👍👍
Haha nice analogy lol
Prefect way to put it.
This machine sure is the business , like everyone else I’m really happy for you 👍👍👍🇬🇧
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
Very nice
Deep down I still like seeing that Volvo tear shit up 😬
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"
Nice to see Chris buy new equipment after working so hard day in and day out
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
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 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!
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 .
Nice machine! I like how well we can see what you're doing.
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.
Congratulations on the new equipment Chris, looks real nice !
That's so cool! I want one. I have no use for it, but I'd love to play with it
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?
Congratulations on your first brand new machine..
Look forward to seeing her in action.. Strawberry Shortcake.. lol
Lil Big Red..
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.
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...
Outstanding Chris. I like my new toys too. You got the money, you use it. Never seen a hearse pulling a U-haul.
Hearse.
Plus it's a tax right off lol

Great looking machine Chris! Congratulations!
Love the speed that bucket swivels 13 minute mark.... amazing
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
Congrats on the new Mini and happy 4th of July.
Congratulations! Always great to see hard work pay off.
Congratulations Chris on the BRAND NEW machine! This means that any dents and scratches that it gets, you will be the artist of!
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
Gotta love that new excavator smell lol. Congrats on being able to get something brand spankin new!
Congrats on the new toy Chris. Looks like a very capable machine. Did notice the three pronged thumb is more efficient than the two pronged thumbs. You didn't have to keep stopping to get a better grip on the brush like you have to do with the two pronged thumbs.
Your hard work is really paying off. Nice looking rig and attachments.
Happy 4th of July Mr. Chris! Looks fantastic!
same model number as the kubota kx55-4
That looks awesome👍 Boys and there toys 🧸 That must be pretty powerful to have those big buckets. Bet you couldn’t wait to get in there 😂
I’m so more and more amazed at the work a mini can do.
Congratulations Chris. Nice tool for your arsenal. I will come in handy for sure.
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.
🤔 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?
Happy 4th!!
Oooohhh ! New equipment!!
Congratulations Kris on your new Mini Rig , I remember my first bought new Equipment, it was a fantastic feeling all so.
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.
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 !
Send Mr Bealy a thank you note. 😂
Lol yea all the work Chris did for him he paid for that machine lol
Nice to see you benefiting from all your hard work. Definitely not the 220 but there is a place for every tool. Congrats.
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. 😇
Sah-weet!! Congratulations on the newbie, I think "The SSC" will be a great addition. 🍓🍰
For this fast digger even that abbreviation is correct! SSC is former Shelby SuperCars inc!!! :D
@@uppsalahazzemarkstedt2759 I like it! I like it a lot!!
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 on the new machine, Chris! Best of luck to you with it!
You really put the machine to the test. And it passed. A nice setup. Congrats on your new mini.👍🏿
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!
I hit the century mark of likes on this video. Awesome machine, Chris! Congrats
That is amazing the way that the bucket can swivel all around in a circle like that.
Congrats on the new machine Chris!!! Looking forward to seeing it a lot!!! Thanks!!!
Strawberry Shortcake is "Purty"
Congratulations Chris.
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
👍🏻 congratulations on the new piece of equipment, looking forward to videos with it In use.
Nice looking machine , from new it will be good to see how many hours you can get out of it , with no one else messing with it
Nice looking machine man! Really happy you! I like that thumb 👍🏻
Hi Brandon, time to arrange a summer week with Chris so we could see a takeuchi vs. Yanmar challenge 🤣
So is yours!!!
@@jensruppert1860 oh good idea 😁
@@sonnyblazer5504 thank you!
I want one for the garden! 💕
hell I want one for my apartment balcony!
@@AquaPeet 😂
That grading bucket.... right out of the box, you operate it like a pro!! Fun to watch you. Russ. Esko, Minnesota
I'm impressed with the speed and smoothness of the hydraulics. Nice machine
Chris so glad you are able to get a new toy as hard as you work you need to have something nice
Congrats on the yanmar, she’s a beauty
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.
I think that shortcake was a machine that you looked at in another location and possibly ran there... its in my head anyway. Love that dresser bucket as it will be a hit on most any pond job for sure Chris. Hope this makes the fourth a go forth and prosper
You are spoiled!!!😂 But well deserved, Happy 4th of July Chris and family and Winston and the rest of the doggies 🤗👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
So how did you get them to turn up the hydraulic speed on that machine? Too small for an accumulator.
YES!!!! 3 prong thumbs on minis .Makes a huge difference .Especially for raking and bushing
"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.
You deserve this so much so glad your business is booming!
Now all you need is smallish off road dump truck like the hydrema 912 😉👍
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!
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!!
Congrats 💯💪🏼💯
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
Nice machine Chris great all rounder. Good set of options as well, the blade seems further out than than std version so that's a plus.
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)
Congratulations on the new equipment Chris. “Shortcake” will definitely be a great addition to your business. 🚧 🪝 🕹
Very nice rig; it should do you very well. Now you'll need to decide who gets to drive the old one!
Two blasts from the past in one week, 1st Tim, then Jason, is Charlie on the agenda for next week, weather permitting?
Charlie hasn't recovered from that Dozer Road Trip LOL
Atleast jason didnt get the ford stuck so chris could show him.how to unstick.it 🙈
Enjoy your time with Shortcake! Shes a good un! You’ve earned it!
Congratulations, your first brand new machine is always super exciting 😃
Nice new machine! That bucket and thumb really did work even on that big pine! You were able to manipulate it such that it fell clean and no damage to the other trees. That thumb is as quick as it is powerful! Seems like some of the smaller machines have a thumb that is slower and probably frustrating.
It’s good to see you grow, but it looks like more and more you will need to work all week long to take care of the bills!! I am assuming your earning power does take a significant jump doing it on your own vs as an hourly wage earner, even with you probably making a top dollar for all the years you worked for your Uncle’s business. Best of luck no matter how you take care of things,,,,,,, I truly enjoy seeing people succeed!
Looking forward to more Mini content!!
I’m glad to see someone else thinks the speed binders are silly too. 😂
Having to go retrieve your snipe after a binder launches it through the side of a nearby building might change your mind…🤣
@@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 haven’t used one of those tooth smackers in years😬
@@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
I enjoy all your videos love watching you need yo name this one Little Red not strawberry shortcake keep them coming
Congratulations Good luck with it Chris Thanks for sharing 👍 😀
Nice to have your own machines to work with, the strawberry short cake looks great.
That 3 tine thumb's a great idea.
No wonder nobody could get quotes from AMI. They were busy building your stuff.
Congrats Chris. I love your new toy ( equipment) Looks like a great piece of equipment there. Bet you can't wait to get it dirty.
Congrats on the new machine .Hope you get many hours of use out of it !
OK, it’s time to Start your own Company, and start hiring..!!
Oh, Hi Jason 👋🏼😎👍
Howdy howdy👋🏼👋🏼
@@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 🍰...!!
@@annafraley5388 hahah sure did. Pennsylvania just under 7 hours. Not Too bad. But you know how it goes when the celebrities ask a favor of you....😂
If this one is "Strawberry Shortcake", does that mean the original is the "Banana Pud'n"
Chris, you and Miss Strawberry Shortcake are a formidable team. Congratulations!
Awesome new machine Chris. I love the tilt control on the blade. You sure can use it...
Cute.......I like name too....Strawberry Shortcake.
Chris, RED DRAGON would be a great nickname
New addition to the family. Congrats Chris, more to come...
That’s a nice setup with the grading bucket!
When he asked what name will You give it. I thought "Red Pepper".
I'm sittin' here smiling by myself like a fool! 👍
Not by yourself we are all smiling on the other end of the phone lol
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!!
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 🎉🍾🎇👏🏼👍🏼🥰
