The tour guide was awesome! She really knew her stuff and was very pleasant to be around. Most guides just act like robots after doing hundreds of tours......

Thank you for sharing your trip to the museum. Great to see how the company survived and evolved to become what it is today while still keeping close touch to its roots.

The lady was so knowledgeable, need more like her, so great for Chris to have some time off, if anyone deserves it , it’s Chris, he brings happiness to so many of us , let’s give it a rest about his gf/wife, ! It’s his life outside of work! I think everyone is on the wrong track,

Thank you for taking us along with you and I really enjoyed the genuine enthusiasm of the Lady that was escorting you through the museum. She is very Knowledgeable about the history. She likes running the steam engine!

Just so you know, two meters of snow is about two Aaron's tall. Thanks for sharing!

Soooo..... Is anyone else screaming "CLIMB IN THE SEAT/CAB OF EVERYTHING!!!!".... after she said you can climb in ALL our exhibits... or is that just me...?

The guide really enjoys her job ,is proud of the company and very knowledgeable about it's history. That's very admirable in this day and age.

The Volvo loader at 14:00 are still used everywhere in scandinavia, specially for snow removal

This 'backwards' construction is the best. All bucket weight is on the big tyres (with snow chains you get enormous grip) and it really turns on a dime around center point. You can follow curb in 90⁰ corners with your snowplow. Love it! ❤ And best of all is that you don't even have room for your grandkids along as passengers in cab. Haha!

Remember the earlier model at 13:02. Probably used a very early one. With 5 reverse and 1 forward gears. Took a long time crossing a road. Causing lots of cars waiting.

Back in the 70's, the one thing that I remember about Volvo Cars was that they had stainless steel exhaust systems on them. My Opel Manta exhaust system rusted out, and I am in Texas.

What a wonderful tour. Nice seeing Mike & Jenna. I hope you guys had as much fun as it looked.

2 thoughts.. 1. Diesel Creek is got to be eating his heart out.. this place is right up his alley moreso that cable excavator.. that baby has been taken care of... 2 Seems like a really nice vacation for both you and Mikey (and Jenna.. ) I know you love the old hardware (just looking at your Cat collection).. so seeing some of this... we've come a long ways.

I've always wondered where the BM part came from. I"ve seen old BM Volvo equipment, but wasn't aware that BM was the original. Pretty neat history.

The tour guide is a Beautiful and knowledgeable young woman! 🙂

Chris, Great meeting you on our connecting flight back in Newart. First time I’ve ever seen someone wearing a Let’sDig18 shirt…and it’s Chris!! Loved the museum tour. Tim 19:51

I don’t comment a lot but that tour was cool. Thank you for taking us.

Thanks for taking us along on the tour. We will be able to see it again in September when DP releases his version. Once again you scooped him.

Tour guide is very knowledgeable and a real sweet heart.

Fantastic opportunity to see this and thanks for taking us along. Remember the steam 'tractor' - Dad had our hay threshed into chaff with one of those (geez I'm getting old!). History makes a difference - come a long way in this area.

Thank you for bringing us along, excellent tour.

That is a very knowledgeable lady. She did a wonderful job!

very nice lady that gave the tour and seeing every thing was great. thanks guys .cheers.

That's a really Coooool Awesome museum 🙂 If I was able to visit there I would be smiling so greatly, even for days 😀 Thank You Chris for showing the museum 🙂

Hi Chris and Mike you have a very nice host at volvo and My goodness she knows her mechanics yes it's her job but she does it very good, if this video is anything to go by this is going to be a great series of videos, thank you for tacking us with you very very enjoyable.

Wow that lady new her stuff, you & your partners are very lucky.

We like seeing your digs and work stuff, but this was over the top awesome! Loved seeing the history and the museum. LOVE the tour guide! That young lady is not only beautiful, but full of energy and excitement with a passion to teach. One of the better videos lately, you two.

Great as always Have a Great Evening, And, On too the Next ...

"There's an Aaron sized loader!" I split my sides laughing.

From a fellow swede good to see that you visited our home country and legacy :)

I have driven a Ford 850 that was converted into a farm forklift by mounting the driver's seat backward. The linkages for steering and controls were, well... interesting to say the least.

Chris, what an awesome tour, thanks for sharing.

That's so cool. I hope you had a great time with the tour and visiting with Mike. Thanks for sharing Chris.

I think Chris was showing a little more than casual interest in that motor grader @21:13 . 🙂

We have a BM Volvo 60-70 something model at our farm, still runs and being used to this day :)

Gives me goosebumps even hearing the name Gravel Charlie. Such a significant step forward.

It's the same as the UK,every farm has either a wee ford or Massey/Ferguson around

So cool to see you in Sweden!

That History Tour was totally awesome Chris. Really was an enjoyable tour sir to see the different machines of the Volvo Companies. Can only imagine the brainstorming that brought us to where we are today. Thank you sir for bringing us along.

I absolutely LOVE seeing old photos of how things changed and developed. Thank you sooooo much for this video!!!! You have a wonderful tour guide. She really knows her stuff and very easy to listen to. You can tell by how she talks, she absolutely loves her job. She still gets excited talking about the history. Huge, HUGE respect for her!!

Hey Chris !!! Thanks for the prelude of what's to come with your trip to Sweden & Volvo with Mike & Co. !! 🙂🙃😉😊👍👍👍👍👍

Thanks for the museum tour. I don’t get out much.

So glad to see so much praise for the guide. I love going to museums and finding someone super enthusiastic and knowledgeable about the contents. Not sure if she's more than just a guide, but she seems sharp.

What a great tour! Thanks for taking us along.

Great video, thanks for taking us all along.

Wonderful museum tour.❤

I visited that museum in ca 2005 in conjunction with one of our yearly Volvo Head Safety Officers Conferences. We had dinner in the huge hall. I worked for Volvo within car manufacturing for around 20 years up until I went on pension in 2013. Hope you enjoyed your trip to Sweden Chris.

Thanks Chris for the tour, very interesting

Very interesting tour! Can’t wait to see more
