@@randywilson6869 I guess it all depends on the (extra) cost of a tiltrotator.

@@Blazer02LS Very good point. Weight is a serious factor in deciding between what attachments you need and what you would like. The built in tongs don't make up for a thumb but do have their uses.
@@dustinbrooks8610 Tony Beets is one of my all time favorite people on TV. He's got a fantastic drive and work ethic. He, like Chris, understand that you will not be successful in anything unless you put your all into it, basically bust your ass to get it done. Sometimes you have to bust the asses of your employees too, but that's the price to pay for success. Want pay? WORK HARD!
The tilt and rotor is not part of the bucket, it is known as a "rototilt". The bucket is just a standard swedish grading bucket. You can put any attachment on a rototilt and make it tilt and rotate.
I really like the 360 degree tilt bucket. What a nice tool for ditches and creek work scooping out in the axis of the ditch and dumping in the back of a truck conveniently. And as just mentioned - the tongs on the back side can snatch up a bucket and place it handy to swap out. Nicer than a thumb if you have one.
It’s amazing how Volvo seemed to have made an electric excavator that seems almost as loud as the diesels just with a high pitch whining and whistle. It’s was much more noticeable on the first video Chris did on the ev machine. Certainly isn’t silent
If you've ever been around electric machines with hydraulics, you'd know they are just noisy. I mean stuff like huge compactors, loading platforms, even elevators. Hydraulic pumps are loud. It actually sounds worse on electric heavy equipment because the diesel isn't covering up the sound of the pump.
I don't think anyone is saying anything with a hydraulic system is silent unless they don't know what they are talking about. Electric vehicles are definitely silent , but a hydraulic pump is still going to be noisy.
2:55 they dont really break tho.... they're incredibly durable! I've cleared alot of trees with them. but with your current setup you probably dont need one. But if you did more landscaping and varied you'd def benefit from one. especially one with that you could unhitch without getting out of the machine!
People often say a tiltrotator is expensive, but in fact its not. As long as you have a "Sandwich Coupler" so you can drop it off, for the use of Breakers or Clearing tools and such. But in landscaping and so it can replace a small grader, maybe a skidsteer, as its the perfect toolcarrier for Grading Beams, Compactors, Mulchers and much other tools that often need to be used at different angles, especially in combination witch oilquick or the steelwrist coupler thats quite the same.
That's awesome you got to hang with Tony Chris, so the 950 is same weight class as a 395 correct? People been saying the 950 runs circles around a 395, thanks for sharing Chris and I look forward to seeing the next video as always, 🇺🇲💪✊🤙👍
@@andyanderson9165 I'm a viewer who wants to see him succeed in this business and I'm not into that whole pronoun💩if you'll notice I have a beard and mustache you could at least ask if I were his dad.
Chris, I’m a big breakfast food person. The 1st time I went to Sweden, I went to McDonalds for breakfast before my meeting. Man was I surprised! 🎉If you’ve never downed a Big Mac and fries at 6 AM you’re better for it! That was the longest week of my life I think.
Of all the new things that they have on excavators I think the two most impressive useful things that they’ve come up with is being able to calculate and cut a slope or dig. It is specific depth no matter what elevation you’re driving on. That would be so so sweet, it would save me a ton of time jumping in and out or having someone put a damn stick in the hole every 15 or so feet. And you’re right about not knowing how to run all the new stuff, they keep it up. it’s gonna be too complicated For most people to use but then again in the future I think that is their goal is to have somebody sit in their car and run the excavator or in an office off a monitor. It’s just getting so crazy with technology.
That's true I never thought of that. There is a huge dock somewhere in the world and all the big loading cranes are controlled from monitors in offices miles away in the company HQ.
@@martymartin2894 Also 2 mile long iron ore trains (5 locos 250 wagons) in the NW of Western Australia being controlled from HQ in Perth 2000 miles away. Don't have to fly train crews to mine site on a 2 week on, 1 week off roster, they work normal 9 to 5 office hours. 😁🙃
Nice machines. Especially that EC400 looks very nice. The obvious standard tracks though look a little narrow. Probal they have wider versions. It does not matter when they are standing on rocks, but taking those larger ones to a softer ground might be ”interesting”. Roto-tilt is a useful system when you work around buildings, houses and all types of infrastructure like cables, pipes etc. With tongs you can move other stuff like small walk behind compactors. The only job you might have used roto-tilt was when you filled the swimming pool with rocks and you had to turn your bucket. In wast majority of your projects a thumb is much more useful.
What Volvo hasn't included in the cab is the Microwave,for those Factor fresh not frozen delivered to your door Meals . Add to the list ,they havnt changed out that side mirror for a Camera,as we know the mirrors are vulnerable to falling limbs !
Every other excavator in Sweden have tiltrotators and it has been so for the last 30yrs. The amount of work one operator can do without even get out of the cockpit pays for it, No need for 3 extra machines and 4 extra workers..
Your sheer ability to is what I find engaging about your videos. I will watch you work for hours because watching you work is like watching a chess player play a perfect game with every move.
I bet all his stuff is paid for. He is careful with his money,has bought equipment and slowly improved it then sold it on and is the third generation of Guins.
@kenore4003 He's third generation BUT he is self-made from my understanding. None of this is inherited. He's earned it all on his own. His dad's business went to Uncle John who still has it. It didn't go to Chris and isn't going to be gifted to him. I think that's why he did all this on his own. They were not giving him anything. Harsh but none of my business. His results are pretty amazing and it's all because he worked for it.
@@bobbywelch6035 That does have a way of making a difference in a person’s attitude. My house is paid off my pickup is paid off I’m just coasting along enjoying life. I’m old so it makes easier.
@@LatitudeSky I think the big takeaway of being the third Gen is having the example of how to run a successful business. Seems like too many third gens who inherited the money didn't bother to learn how theoney and reputation were earned. Chris got the point and has run with it. Here is wishing him a great future.
As Chris is showing us the comfort and luxury of the new cabs, I’m thinking back to the old Bucyrus Erie or Northern cable shovels, with their open cabs directly in front of a grunting old Murphy diesel or a howling 6-71! Progress! (Until all the computers have a pissing match)!
Thanks for the ride along, enjoyed seeing all the innovations Volvo is offering, after seeing them its all about efficiency and the big thing I saw Volvo working toward operator comfort and ease of operation which also adds to efficiency in my book. Fun tour, enjoyed watching.
Do you ever use Scandi buckets over with you Chris? Not seen them used much across the pond! Reckon it'd be a useful addition during your grading/finishing work?
The chainsaw attachment is nice but for reliability ,simplicity and brute force you can't beat a hydraulic AXE. A friend used to operate one for his dad at a lumber mill in Florida, it was a little axe fitted to a skid steer . He could pinch 3 thirty foot red pine at once lay them down and go do 3 more over and over.
Bad ass machines. So good to see them. Tony Beets is the man. Always great to see him. What happened to dirtperfect? Did you trade him in for Tony lol.
If you get an EL230, you will need to get a 'power trailer' instead of the fuel trailer - it will have a genset with auto shutoff after the excavator batteries are charged full. Good that you and DP are having a nice Sweden trip. Did they preset the excavator display to English for you? What would Grandpa Guins say about that machine? How many scoops of the 400 to fill Barney, 6? Mr. Donnie needs a bigger lowboy trailer to bring you the 950. It should fill Barney in 4 scoops.
I have to commend you on parlaying Volvo's interests in your brand , who could have predicted Volvo's response when you bought the Hyundai. Don't waste it, you could use a larger haul truck !
I don't know why some of you people say things like Chris had to put up with DP they are friends, and they go to each other's houses to work with each other and have fun. Come on, people, get your shit together and leave these two friends alone.
So Chris did Tony invite you up to the Gold mine that would More than likely be an episode or two that would take you past the million Mark and be great for both channel
Overall very impressive machines and seems Volvo are listening to its consumer/operators. Trust the new machines have a suitable position for mobile phone when placed can be seen by the operator easily.
If you add a quick oil system u can eliminate alot of hoses, for those on the boom and stick you could add thick rubber mats as they use in tunnels if you are afraid of sticks n crap damaging pipes/electrics. yes it is pretty expensive but you can do so much with a tilt rotator. like 70% of companies in eu use them on every excevator.
Electric excavators have there uses but for the type of work you do in the places you work you would have to cart around a gas or diesel powered generator to every job site. I’d like to know how long they will run on a full charge. I wouldn’t think that they would run for 8 or more hours before needing to be recharged but I may be wrong. I can’t even imagine how much it would cost to replace the batteries.
$60k for the outboard charger with built in battery of the same size. It's a container type thing about 8' x 8' x 10'. 7000 kg I don't know what the battery itself costs.
How do those new machines candles hold up to your new 350 candle I think that you are good on equipment you just need a another haul truck now and then you’ll be all good to go
Volvo makes a great machine, I'm glad to see them finally catching up with caterpillar but it seems like every company is just trying to replicate what cat has done with the next gens , the electric controls with no resistance and no fatigue are amazing , being able to check all fluids from ground level , everything being on the screen in 1 spot no more fishing around for climate controls radio ect . I wish john deere would catch up their excavators are awesome in my opinion but the cabs are antique
Awesome new equipment! Those tilt rotor buckets must be a European thing. I watched Duck Girl do her thing with them. Amazing what one person can accomplish. She is a one person construction crew. Regarding the electric equipment. Most construction sites do not have power on them, let alone enough power to charge one or more large pieces of equipment. How do they purpose you charge them?
I can see it niw, Chris can use the tongs to stack concrete that still has re bar in it. And get a set of the folding steps on his 350. With major operating compartment upgrades.
Straight up, Chris. The electric excavator has a little bucket on it. I suspect a bigger bucket will cripple usage time? I think it is slow to respond, too?
Well Mr. Customer, I got 30 minutes of digging done with the electric excavator, we'll be back tomorrow after a good night's charge. Does that machine stay powered on long enough to dig a hole big enough to bury itself in? If so, by all means, make good use of that time...
So, for the electric version you would need a portable generator to recharge battery's or solar panels and hope the sun shines? Really cool to see Tony Beets. The 550 looks to be a winner.
It's the other way around. Tony thought it was awesome to see Chris. I see a bunch of you commenters. we're all saying that , but I would want to meet Chris more than Tony, but that's just me
Multi directional tilting grooming bucket with grappling hooks. Sounds good. Lots of expensive toys. I think Volvo is a great machine.. Wish I had the money.
That is an Engcon tiltrotator, you can put it on eny excavator old or new, small to big. And it's not just for a bucket, the amount of different stuff you can put under these will blow your mind. UA-cam "Engcon" and let your dreams fly free 😁 Cheers from Sweden, were 90% of all the excavators have these since 30yrs back 👍
how is the air conditioner pull on the battery...they took that rotation bucket right from the psychological rehab or overcoming alcohol addiction, the shakes converted to movement frustration
Chris, thanks for the updates on the new equipment, I wish you had given some info on the electric one, hours of service out of a full charge, how do you charge the batteries, on the job site, and the cost to replace the batt, a batt for a 2022 Hynadi IONIQ5 IS 60.000 YES 60.000 GRAND
Geez Chris maybe after doing a couple more projects for Jeff you could afford that EF950F...you look good in it and you would be the envy for all of the excavator's in your immediate area sn

Chris, Please remember one thing.... A tiltrotator is an attatchment, you put it aside when you doing clearings. 👍

Straight up, Chris. The electric excavator has a little bucket on it. I suspect a bigger bucket will cripple usage time? I think it is slow to respond, too?
Well Mr. Customer, I got 30 minutes of digging done with the electric excavator, we'll be back tomorrow after a good night's charge.
Does that machine stay powered on long enough to dig a hole big enough to bury itself in? If so, by all means, make good use of that time...
The screen has a hazard indicator, and Mike will still scratch the counterweight 😂
That 500 was about the size I was thinking you were going to get. The 950 can definitely handle a much larger bucket on it. Fill up that truck quick
So, for the electric version you would need a portable generator to recharge battery's or solar panels and hope the sun shines? Really cool to see Tony Beets. The 550 looks to be a winner.
Pretty awesome seeing Tony
It's the other way around. Tony thought it was awesome to see Chris. I see a bunch of you commenters. we're all saying that , but I would want to meet Chris more than Tony, but that's just me
Wow you got Tony on camera without any bleeps! Are you really sure it was Tony?
It sure Fu**ing was.
@@firesurfer lololol!
A Great equipment for building dam and any con equipment Chris
But if you thought Tesla batteries were expensive !😢
Yes, but for confined space (yes, very limited use case) electric the way to go.
Also an electric 8 ton machine costs around 300k where i live. Thats the same as a brand new 25 ton machine.
Multi directional tilting grooming bucket with grappling hooks. Sounds good. Lots of expensive toys. I think Volvo is a great machine.. Wish I had the money.
That is an Engcon tiltrotator, you can put it on eny excavator old or new, small to big.
And it's not just for a bucket, the amount of different stuff you can put under these will blow your mind.
UA-cam "Engcon" and let your dreams fly free 😁
Cheers from Sweden, were 90% of all the excavators have these since 30yrs back 👍
sure lakes a plase to plug it in in the middle of know where, jawdrop on the grapple, nice machines for sure , that's a massive bucket 500
Next year Chris will be working for Parker in Alaska! 😀
Loved the museum tour
Chris the new Gold miner!!
how is the air conditioner pull on the battery...they took that rotation bucket right from the psychological rehab or overcoming alcohol addiction, the shakes converted to movement frustration
Chris, thanks for the updates on the new equipment, I wish you had given some info on the electric one, hours of service out of a full charge, how do you charge the batteries, on the job site, and the cost to replace the batt, a batt for a 2022 Hynadi IONIQ5 IS 60.000 YES 60.000 GRAND
Flashback to the veternary clinic job with the 550.
Won’t be long and Chris gonna be saying, I have a couple of really big oaks to clear out so got this here new EC950F😝
Super Articulated Arm, you could pick snakes off the ground and set them out of harms way. Cool with the famous gold digger.
You need it , I would feel so much better watching your vids in this rig .
Geez Chris maybe after doing a couple more projects for Jeff you could afford that EF950F...you look good in it and you would be the envy for all of the excavator's in your immediate area sn
The price is one thing but once you get to a certain weight it’s so much more difficult to move the machinery and expensive
I see Tony was there checking out the 900 ,maybe you and D P might give him a visit up there in his garden 😉
