Man, been so used to seeing the 210 over the years it's like saying goodbye to an old friend.

Goodbye Daewoo was bad enough! lol

Psst easiest way to defeat seat belt alerts is to buy the male end from a junkyard and plug it in. Unless it's a nonstandard size which I doubt.

I agree on the beeper being annoying as I am driving a 98 International 9100 Series truck that has been equipped to haul bulk potatoes from the field. Due to the fact it sometimes visits the local plant that makes french fries and other potato items I have to have a back up alarm. Talk about something you hear even in your sleep.

just click the set belt into itself on the seat, like the old school Deere skid steers had to, and yank the damn plug on the motion alarm, or try press and holding sown the cancel button for 7 seconds.

Very nice new Volvo 220 excavator, awesome lcd display with much info, many years of happy working Chris , Cam is very nice 👌✌😊

ya I've been in a few situations where I felt the need to wear my seat belt but usually I like the idea of a quick easy exist if need be

Nice machine man. I'll be waiting on the first vid of it operating.

very nice. I ran a 210 like your other one first time on a Volvo last week. im a case man but I must say it was very smooth and stout

Chris good looking machine hope it holds up as good as the 210, hate that def bullshit.

Great video Chris!

I rented a man lift awhile back to work on my shop, I had to disconnect the beeper on that thing to, annoying as hell lol

the amount of different work you guys do I'm surprised you don't get a hydraulic quick coupler then you could have your 48 inch digging bucket then a 66 inch clean up and a clearing rake. Hell even a bolt on coupler be better than nothing

I love Volvo there one of the best diggers around very nice:)

You love getting the safety nannies all riled up don't you... lol

Love the vid

hell yea chris!! love it!! nice machine! bud!! giver hell

Beauty of a machine I was reading an article in the Wall Street journal last week saying how leasing is killing these companies like cat,Volvo,and Deere because it's flooding the market with nice equipment and nobody's buying new they are buying all these used machines at half the price

belle machine mon gars !....

Good looking machine! ....13

For the seatbeltwarning: Just fabricate a small metal piece that matches in size to the original seatbelt clip and stick it in (just leave it long enough so you can take it out without any trouble) or get one cheaply off ebay - look for "seatbelt clip". A simple solution for the beeping is probably to just remove the breaker for it or unhook the beeper (hopefully it will not throw out any fault codes)

What's wrong with the 210? It wouldn't be better to stick with the pre emissions machine or is it not worth to wait for the next thing to break on the 210?

Will you have any attachments with it like say log grapplers or grading buckets

Nice machine Chris youz should trade in the 210.👍🏻

Cutter blades. i wonder if the cutter blades are actually installed TOO HIGH.. if you bring them down closer to bottom of the bucket.. you might get only smaller easy to break out branches and debris wedged in.. or if adding a C faced plate to each one so its closer to the bottom of the bucket and does not have the area to jam stuff into.. only thoughts..

try adding magnet to the seat belt buckle works on cars. nice thick 50mm

also, we found out that the best way to get rid of the beeping is to just hook up the seatbelt, and leave it connected under your ass while you're operating. i'm not sure if the sensor for it is connected to the seatbelt buckle, or if it reads if the belt has been pulled out, or both.. i theorize that you could just cut off the buckle and connect it, then take the loose end of the belt and tie it up to something under your seat or something. never tried it though

ah. hope you have mor eluck with the adblue pump on that thing than we had on our l220h's on my previous job. those things had so many problems, and had to be swapped out like twice on each machine in the matter of half a year.

what are y'all gonna do with the current 210 if you decide to buy this 220e

I have always just clicked the seat belt in and sat on it. Not sure how comfortable that would be sitting for long periods of time, but I've never had to run a machine for long period of time.

We will see how it performs, good luck.😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊

Only prob is if you get quick cplr ya have to get new thumb that longer so she still match up to bucket. Sucks cus the longer thumbs for quick cplrs are narrower to reduce weight

Ebay sells something that looks like a seat-buckle, your imaginary seat-belt will be 'buckled' all of the time. They are around usd 1 or 2 delivered.

got a love the safety police.

how does the volvo 220EL Excavator compare to the Kato HD-770 SE -II Hydraulic Excavator when it was new?

wouldn't a clip from a car fit in it? Or redirect the wires from either the seat or the clipholder to keep it quiet. We did that with all our machines and trucks. Dang beeping drives a man insane haha

Looks like a nice machine but all that beeping would drive me insane. Hopefully all the emissions equipment works well since we are all forced to deal with it now.

yeah its getting to the point when you just have to get it

in komatsu s they have the Nero for the seat belt you will have to take the fuse out

what was the price on this particular machine if you don't mind me asking?

I agree with the use of seat belts in airplane and road vehicles,..but that's it ! In heavy equipment it is a safety hazzard, as far as I am concerned. I won't get into the reason's why I think that, but I just added my opinion to Chris's. This is a good looking machine, and as I worked in heavy equipment and rented it too,.I KNOW what abuse rental equipment can be subjected to. First thing I would want done , at the dealer's expense, is change ALL the fluids AND filters. Because sure as heck the rental customers would not have done this. I also agree with getting rid of those annoying alarms too,..god, pretty soon, they will want rubber teeth on a chain saw , so you won't cut yourself !! Nice machine Chris, now let's see how she performs.

CrazyEye75 yeah thats bout only time I use mine, but ive learned to one foot track now while propping my other foot on the window lol

I know if you delete the def crap it will drastically increase power and fuel efficiency, the engine doesn't have to work to push the exhaust through all the def crap, I know our friend has a 2010 6.6 duramax, and when he deleted def it damn near doubled his fuel mileage and increased the power majorly

EC220's have been around for about 4-years now, but that $120k for a >500-hr machine is a bit much, that comes down to around $15 per hour depreciation (to 5k hours), plus that $20 an hour for diesel and DEF, you're breaking even at $60 an hour for just an operator, maintenance and fuel - or around $100 an hour to turn a dime. You've got to have deep pockets for most machines like this, or SERIOUS contract work.

does it go through a re Gen cycle?

that is one nice excavator i'd say buy it Nice vid btw.

Yes ,, Find the beeper speaker..unplug it..that simple . thanks

Nice machine! Have you ever explained on a video of why you prefer Volvo over say Cat or Kobelco or another major manufacturer? Just curious?

cool

don't let the dang gum bossman drive it

I'm assuming the 270 has been gone for a while?

If it's a 2 wire switch going to the seat belt switch, just cross the 2 wires somehow, back probe the connector with a paper clip or cut the wires and splice them together

Get with the times chris. Coupler/tilt bucket time

I wish I could work for you because you do exactly what I want to do when I'm older

Click the seatbelt in and out quickly half a dozen times when the light for the seatbelt flashes it should be off

my cousin buckles it behind him

just buckle the seat belt behind you and there you go,works on some stuff we use or drive.

Be interesting how long that emissions motor goes before it needs rebuilt. I'd say 85% or better of semi trucks with emissions motors rarely make it over 600,000miles without major repairs, especially Mack trucks (Volvo made Mack trucks). Just speaking from experience. Good luck.

i know you don't have a need to change attachments much, but wouldn't a Quick coupler be useful on that machine if you got it?

Hey Chris I know ya get sick of hearing same bs from everyone but we just put a quick cplr on my 235 so I can switch between 4' tooth and 7' ditchn bucket an you wouldn't believe how much time it save loading trucks/misc or just how much more convenient it is.

You are aware DEF fluid prone to freezing in winter & it cost's more per US gallon of diesel fuel..?

I wanna learn how to use this machine 😭😭

maybe you will make a Video with fun? Carousell with Excavator?

Get the piece of the seatbelt from another machine or car.. Put it in there and you should be fine.. (i dont know what its called lol)

just wrap the seat belt around the back side of the seat and leave it plugged in.

I think you should buy it

That that is mute for radio and plug seatbelt in and sit on it

order a spare seat belt buckle or find a junk one to plug into the buckle. Then you wont wear out the seat belt from having it buckled in all the time and rubbing it across your back. Or figure out how to jump out the switch on it.

Grab a buckle end from the junkyard and then you wont have to listen to the seat belt beeping or wear your seatbelt!

I run a Volvo 480 hoe for awhile for a company real close to you lol they really are nice machines

Just cut the connect thing of the belt and plug it in the hole that's what I did

No quick hitch.

Well, on a workplace they wanted everyone to use seatbelts, so I did too. Then the ground went off under my excavator and it tumblet about 2½ mtr down the hole.The only thing I got was som blue marks form the seatbelt Since that day i appreciate seatbelts.

the comment of a stick jockey, not an operator.

Better make sure you can turn off that safety crap before buying the thing.

By it

Tell them you won't buy it unless they disable the beepers

easiest solution ive found for the seat belt thing is to cut the connector off the belt and plug it into the receiver, sure you cant use it anymore but im too lazy to go through operator manuals and try to find a fuse or wire..... or i suppose you could just sit on the belt while its in the receiver... i dunno

Don't do it they don't build them like they used to

I would suggest straight ripping out the backup beeper but thats probably pretty illegal removing safety features from heavy equipment and osha will be all up in your ass.
