I'm sure that's what Chris is thinking though the 160 is so handy for the smaller jobs where he needs the lighter machine ie: pond/dam clean outs that I know he's itching to get back too....never have enough mud!!!! He's in so much demand it seems they could get the 200 as a extra, since Tim has been operating a machine a bit more lately.

Justin is a DJI Flying Ace. I was waiting for a happy ending where the President of Volvo USA came onto the scene and said 'Chris Guins, you thought you were here to test the new 200. Well today, Volvo would like to present you with this machine in appreciation for the great work you do as an ambassador for our brand'. Chris and Volvo President shake hands. Justin takes a picture in which we can see a tiny tear in the corner of Chris' eye. Then the drone crashes because Justin forgot he was supposed to be controlling it. (Hey, this is real life where complete happy endings only happen at Hollywood.) ;-)

I don't know why they never had a 200 before now. They also had a 210 but every other manufacturer makes a 200 because the 200 class machine is literally the ultimate all around size and most popular machine for most excavation companies. And once you put a thumb on it I'm sure that you'd find the balance a little bit heavier out there with that bigger bucket.

2 bars of green on the throttle setting, in my 220 that's 1400rpm. If the 200 is the same that's very quick for such a low setting. Nice machine but next time I'll probably go for the 250. Had a Komatsu 200-8 before the Volvo averaging around 24-25 liter's per hour the Volvo 220 averages between 13-15 depending on the work I'm doing. It's faster and has more power than the Komatsu. I've never owned a Volvo before now but I have 700hrs in the 220 now and I'll be Volvo for life. I only tried the Volvo after watching how smooth they look in these video's.
