With a cab like this no wonder I never get out of the machine!

Hey he even kicked his feet off

I really like the new style gages! Oh yeah with 14 different air outlets with 360 rotation to find the air stream to suit your purposes!

That machine looks pretty slick. Almost makes me want a Volvo...

Way too much stuff to break and wear out.

I really like the adjustable pilot consoles, that was the only thing I hated about the Volvo's my brother had, but their pilot controls are incredible, very smooth.

not really, my machine as a pretty similar cab, minius the new gage display screen. 4 years and 2700 hrs nothing screwed up expect the wiper motor.

And same with the Cat excavators, which are catching up on Volvo's, big brother has 5000 hours and nothing wrong but some minor shimming in the stick/boom.
The only problem our 290 had was a blown pilot hose to the valve bank, all warranty.

Pretty neat for Volvo to put together a YouTube channel like that... gotta give them props.

I've watched all their vids on the EW180C wheeled excavator, what a change from the B series!
