The US use metric ton, majority just don't know for what. For example boat, even the military one, are weight using the metric ton. I dunno about plane but I presume it's the same thing, especially if they fly international(outside of US). Grain(farm), for international commerce when shipped are weight using the metric ton also.
@@Potoum The military uses metric for NATO. The international flying community uses US standard units although for weight that is probably company specific so there will be both used. Only china and russia use meters instead of feet.
The haul trucks on site we operated in the quarry were loaded to the gills. No one worried about the weight. Load it until it's running over the sides and go.
Thanks for taking us along bro it was very entertaining guys, thanks must go to Volvo for letting you and Mike loose on the new machinery. Safe travels
These Chris vs Mike videos always make me smile, because Mike is ultra competitive, but Chris is always the man with a plan. He knows how he is going to maximise the load before he climbs in the loader. I can remember Chris saying in previous videos that he loads from the back, because that creates a barrier to hold more load dumped in the front. This looked to be what was happening till we saw the other angle from the top of the heap, which appeared to show some space at the front, but it was still a lot less space than Mike left. The equipment was super impressive, and I would say Volvo will be happy because a lot of operators must watch Chris and Mike's channels.
You two looked like you were having loads of fun. Earlier today I was thinking about the simulation you & Kyle did at the Expo you went to and now you've just sealed that you are the best!🤣Thanks for sharing, Chris.
You two are awesome. Makes my day when you make videos together. It's always nice to see friends having a good time. Specifically after all the hard work you guys do.
Fun at the Volvo Wheel Loader Challenge - well that's how You Learn ! All of You are Winners in our Books ! What a Brilliant Day all of You had ! It looks like that the Volvo Equipment is one of the Top Products on the Market ! Enjoy Your Lunch ! Hey - we enjoyed this Video very much and many Cheers from us in Australia !!!!
The 180s are a good thing, but man, have I spent some hours in L120Fs 😁👌 Our mining company has them in our fleet all over Australia, carrying man-baskets, for jib work, forks and bucket work. They are an amazingly reliable piece of gear 👌
The real reliability depends on the operators. We have 5 L220s, and some had a rough life because of the negligence of the operators.:(( Fun little machines, but I prefer the 350 and the 🐱 988, because they are a lot more stable thus provide a better ride on our awful roads at our asphalt recycling plant.
A short ton is less than a (long or UK) ton or a metric tonne. UK ton is 2240 lbs because we have 112lbs to a hundredweight. American weights come up short just like the gallon is less than UK because we have 20 fl oz to a pint vs 16.
That all we run at my work, Volvo 150s. Man, they are a work of art. Perfect tool for doing underground utilities. I have lifted manhole bases weighing over 10tons (very slowly and carefully) across jobsite without any issues
Spade nosed buckets have been around for decades, most spade nosed buckets are used in mining applications or hard aggregate pits and are usually a toothed bucket and on bigger machines like 988 Cat sized and larger loaders generally speaking.
Glad you had a fun day out at the "Volvo challenge". I thought it was evening, Really bad weather rolling in on your fun. Safe driving home. Have a great week.
I loved how you asked about short tons and metric ones. I'm from England, UK. I grew up with Pounds, Inches, Feet & Yards. It's taken my whole life so far (I'm 50 years old) to admit that metric is easier for measuring. Still have to know Imperial for chuck sizes etc, but I'm happy with that. Oh great Video as usual BTW.
HAHAHA, not quite fair to Mike since Chris could see what needed to be done to fill the truck more than Mike did. BUT, when Chris filled the truck he had more spillage than Mike did by far and if they had to take it down the road there would be quite a mess for sure. Lots of fun watching you two working and having fun together. Thanks for taking us along! J.R.
My life is complete, I now know what a short ton is! 😀 I've heard of the blue man crew, but thank you yellow men crew!. Psst we saw the spilled gravel! 😉
Chris/Mike you two are a hoot , the banter between you hilarious , what a great video, always a good laugh when you and Mike get together, that new Volvo gear is pretty darn nice 👍
Thank you, Dirtperfect, Letsdig18 and Volvo for this video. Fun video to watch.
3 months from now, we’ll see DP’s version of this. 😂
😂😂😂😂😂
We will learn how Mike cheated because he loves trying to figure out how to cheat big deal 18.
you misspelled “years” 😂😂
@@billy-zx10r Right!!! 😂🤣
Let's get ready to rumble!
It's always great when Chris and Mike collaborate. BTW, a metric ton is 1000 kilograms or almost 2205 pounds.
The US use metric ton, majority just don't know for what.
For example boat, even the military one, are weight using the metric ton. I dunno about plane but I presume it's the same thing, especially if they fly international(outside of US).
Grain(farm), for international commerce when shipped are weight using the metric ton also.
That is what was said in the video !!!! DUUUUUHH!!!!!!!!
@@Potoum The military uses metric for NATO. The international flying community uses US standard units although for weight that is probably company specific so there will be both used. Only china and russia use meters instead of feet.
@@wilburfinnigan2142 Nope, he said it was 2300 pounds which is why I mentioned it.
ETA: See the video transcript at 1:28 or re-watch it.
Actual = 2204.62262 pounds.
Good to see Mike and you having fun on the tours. That has to be different running via joystick instead of using the wheel!
Huuuuge difference, I run a l220h at an asphalt plant and the joystick helps so much in fast paced work.
Love how you 2 Heckel each other and the fun you both have that is why i like both your channel

All the Different Equipment available is Amazing and Off the Charts, Expensive. 👍
Oh boy. I just read that as Amazon instead of Amazing.
@@splatterize Jeff Bezos just sent you a subliminal message to spend heavily
I like it when you 2 get together!! Y’all have a hell of a time!!
Enjoyed the video gentlemen, fun to get together with friends to share a common interest and lunch.😀
Loved the little laugh in the cab, when you put that last scoop in. You knew it would beat DP's total. 😂❤
Swedish invitational play time!
Good ol boys having fun with big toys couldn’t get any better than that
😅 these are the best 2 channels on UA-cam, every day can’t wait for the next video. Fantastic more please
I love the way the engine cover slopes up to meet the rear cab window. Very futuristic
That looked like fun. 😀 Thank you for sharing it Chris.👍 Be well.😉
Love listening to these guys talking smack to each other!
Me too and it's all in good fun
Great fun video guys these get togethers are great thanks Chris and Mike for a great video
Wow great to see you two together ,,,We will see Dirt Perfects video in February lol Thanks Chris
JUST PURE LOVE ❤️ BETWEEN DRIT PERFECT & 18 LETDIG
You and dirt perfect have way to much fun. LOL!!!!
More competition videos!! Great job Chris!!
I'm glad you guys find time to have some fun with friends. Life can't just be all work and making money.

Couple boys on a pissing contest. Title promised, title delivered. Excellent entertainment.
You both did good, neither one spon the wheels with the loader ,you past the test. Chris did spill more leaving booger piles
Boys in the sandbox.
Just a bigger sandbox.
You where having way to much fun. :) Have a safe trip and welcome home. :) Thank you and have yourself a great day.
That's quite the piece of equipment. I enjoy it when you throw the screws to your buddy there. Mister dirt. 👍👍🙂🇨🇦
Always a good laugh we you two get together!
🤣🤣🤣 DP and Let’s Dig 18 having a UA-cam spat is hilarious! 🤣🤣🤣 love when you both get together and shoot a video!
Nice video Chris , you and Mike are nuts enjoyed the laugh, lol
Friendly competition is a lot of fun. Two buckets and a regular dump truck are loaded.
The 180s are a good thing, but man, have I spent some hours in L120Fs 😁👌

Nice articulated loaded and Nice rock truck.
We call that a lose nut between the steering wheel and the seat.
Hello all from Siesta Key Florida
A short ton is less than a (long or UK) ton or a metric tonne. UK ton is 2240 lbs because we have 112lbs to a hundredweight. American weights come up short just like the gallon is less than UK because we have 20 fl oz to a pint vs 16.
Chris, thought I heard the bucket "tap" the haul truck on one of those dumps! Review the tape!!😉
4:50 Mikey standing there pouting 😆 🤣
That all we run at my work, Volvo 150s. Man, they are a work of art. Perfect tool for doing underground utilities. I have lifted manhole bases weighing over 10tons (very slowly and carefully) across jobsite without any issues
The lack of a Pepsi holder caused him problem
I like how Mike didnt want to scratch the new paint but Chris was like , screw the paint, i gotta win!! LOL
Great way to display Volvo and have some fun - suggest both were learners! Still prefer Barney and Bubba Dump - they have unique characters.
gobsmacked how smooth that loader is when LD18 is running it, bucket design is new too
No there have been buckets like that for a long time.
Spade nosed buckets have been around for decades, most spade nosed buckets are used in mining applications or hard aggregate pits and are usually a toothed bucket and on bigger machines like 988 Cat sized and larger loaders generally speaking.
Moving the truck sounds like something I'd do.
Lets dig it Chris is a way better operator than Dirt perfect mike !!! PERIOD !!!!!
Wilbur don't be mean there both good operators. You may like 1 over the other but they are both good operators and friends
The best part of this is I get to see it again a month from now on DP's
Lol not fair was set up lol 😂
Nice truck! Those tailgates come in handy for sloppy dirt.
Nice video guys!
Sure is nice to have many friends in the same industry to help each other out & have fun together.
Glad you had a fun day out at the "Volvo challenge". I thought it was evening, Really bad weather rolling in on your fun. Safe driving home. Have a great week.
Good Times !! Good Times !! lololol.... Great as always Chris !! Have a Great Evening , And, On too the Next...
Big kids with their big toys! Love it!

Neat stuff. Enjoyed watching
I operate Volvo wheel loaders for some years now.And its funny to see Chris ( very talented operator on escavators) load that truck like a rookie :)
HAHAHA, not quite fair to Mike since Chris could see what needed to be done to fill the truck more than Mike did. BUT, when Chris filled the truck he had more spillage than Mike did by far and if they had to take it down the road there would be quite a mess for sure.

So Good!! Big smile on my face!! Cheers!;-)!!
love it when you 2 get together plz keep it up
Nice video nice camera angle of gravel being loaded and unloaded
Is that in Shippensburg?
My life is complete, I now know what a short ton is! 😀 I've heard of the blue man crew, but thank you yellow men crew!. Psst we saw the spilled gravel! 😉
Brilliant vid more playing with excavators/machines please love it lol
isn't the mark of a real master is to never spill a drop ;-)
I would love to hear Mr. Millennial comment on DP in the loader lol
I ran a 988 H with a 15 yard bucket loading petroleum coke at a refinery in NW Indiana. No scales just guess work
That would be so fun to drive that stuff around
Operator my A**!😂
Chris, I looked closer. Mikes Cheatin I see three hands on the controls!
interesting front shape on the bucket, not straight like others I've seen
cool, brings me back to my days. thanks
Big boys and their big toys. Gotta love em.
In IT we have the acronym PEBKAC - Problem Exists Between Keyboard And Chair. I guess you can use PEBWAC - Problem Exists Between Wheel And Chair
im surprised Volvo let Mike on the site the way he bad mouthed Volvos !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
As its Chris and Mike together I just, 👍 as you know it's going to be epic. 🤗
would not be hard to make things difficult for DP. Chris will always be the number 1 operator.
Gotta give DP credit- he hasnt been doing this since he was 18 years old!!
@@cathiwim oh well
Chris/Mike you two are a hoot , the banter between you hilarious , what a great video, always a good laugh when you and Mike get together, that new Volvo gear is pretty darn nice 👍
Good good scoop. Love those machines !!!!
Boys & their toys🤣 Love it😊 Take care guys & cheers 🐨🦘🥰
40 tonnes .., we used to have trucks filling up our bays 20 tonnes at a time at the builders yard.., thats insane.
Chris what size is that bucket?.., surely not a 10 tonne?
every scoop was 10 tons
@@letsdig18 Thats insane that they created machines capable of moving so much at once.
@@formhubfar And as the video showed it seemed they can do it effortlessly. That loader moved around with zero difficulty. It's impressive.
If only we had Logger Wade and Man Behind the Scenes colour commentating!!
You guys did better than some of my every day load or hands🤙😂
Well done. It seems the new dump truck dumps a little quicker than Barnie.
Was this up in Canada?
I think Indiana. 🤔
Great job buddy and great video as always buddy thanks for sharing 😎👊🏻👍🏻
Good job loading the off road Chris Nice loader
Hay Chris good evening awesome job today I love the Volvo I'd love to have one 💯💯👌😊.
Boys and their toys and games!!!
Awesome job guys!🤣😂
Hey Chris & Mike !! KEEP the "FUN"" coming !! HAHA 🙂🙃😉👍👍👍👍👍
Time for a new "Dumper" now Stumpy ?? Really nice machines!
Mike is going to put this up for New Years…!!! 👍👌👏🥳
shows you the difference between a Volvo operator and a Hyundai operator🤣
You've got that right.
Go team Volvo
those are some pretty full bucket!
