LetsDig18 Gets “Hands-On” with the Big Volvo

You Tube heavy equipment sensation Chris Guins aka LetsDig18, recently got the opportunity to spend some time on Volvo’s flagship heavy excavator the EC950F, and in celebration has produced this epic video.

We have featured Chris and his North Carolina based business, Guins Excavating Services, on numerous occasions here on the Digger Man Blog. The man himself is a big Volvo Construction Equipment fan, having run the machines in his own fleet for many years.

Chris is one of the trailblazers of documenting his day-to-day operational work on his You Tube channel, which recently passed the 500k subscriber’s milestone, and he has clearly been an inspiration to others to do the same, in addition to his wider social media presence on Facebook, and on Instagram where he has amassed nearly 63k followers.

Chris had previously had the chance to spend some time on the prototype EC950F during a VIP trip to Volvo’s facility in South Korea, but he was invited to try out the production machine back in the homeland following its official North American launch at last year’s Conexpo-Con-Agg show.

So, without further ado, lets join Chris in the cab of this beast of a machine, oh and grab yourself a coffee before settling down, at just over 47 minutes long, its quite a show!
