Jimbo's CAT 321C LCR has arrived ! this is a awesome piece of equipment to add to the fleet !

[@pakmudecrew]

Excavator Caterpillar 321c Good master👍👍👍 I like its🙏

[@DIRT-BOSS]

Thanks buddy

[@DieselandIron]

That is a monster thumb! I don't think I've ever seen one stick that far up into the boom in the curled position. That would take some getting used to for sure.

[@DIRT-BOSS]

Tell me about it when I first saw it I was like yeah that's odd then when I ran it I said yeah that's odd ! So we had cat come out and they said yeah that's odd lol it's the wrong thumb they put on big mess up !

[@DieselandIron]

@@DIRT-BOSS haha that makes way more sense. That thing could double as a ripper for a d10 😂

Thanks Doug appreciate that stay safe buddy!

Getting into the winter vibe… snow here this week in Utah

[@darrenp5495]

Nice to get something someone took care of if the inside is nice good chance they took care of the rest of it . Congrats.

[@DIRT-BOSS]

Yeah I agree if they take care of the little things most likely they took care of the big things

[@triaddirtworksllc.9444]

Hey Mike. Just saw the livestream with you and Todd (digginlife21). You are great! Very knowledgeable. My family company is located in NC, We do Dirt Works, and a little bit of everything that the big guys don't want to mess with, we started our small Chanel about 6 months ago! Looking forward to your content my friend! Have a great Day!

[@DIRT-BOSS]

Hey thanks buddy I appreciate that I just went over to your channel and subscribed also !

[@McGregorFTW]

I think you're going to find out that general purpose thumb is great for holding down the pallet it came on. 😆 Its great for picking up stuff you dont need much precision for, but I hate not being able to come completely down to the bucket curled out like the progressive links. I guess its better than no thumb at all! Great video, cant wait to see more with the 321! 👍

[@DIRT-BOSS]

Yes I agree It is just general purpose not the best situation

[@dirty.diggers]

Jeremy I hear you there! I just bought a thumb and installed on my excavator. It is definitely great better than none that I was used to but the progressive one I can already see would make such a difference

[@bhermon265]

Congrats on the cat very nice 👍

[@DIRT-BOSS]

Thanks buddy

[@dalepremo3695]

Slippin' & Slidin' DIRT BOSS - that is a BIG machine (and a steep driveway). Thanks for the video - really enjoyed the generic Superman/Superwoman music.

[@DIRT-BOSS]

Yeah it's slippery and steep I knew it would be I told Jim he's got to be careful if you're not experienced with that kind of stuff you can get in trouble before you could get out of trouble !

[@sassafrasvalley1939]

That’s a mighty tall toboggan! Can’t wait for the next Olympics! Excavator ice challenge could take the place of Curling, as the next hot winter sport. I wonder though... will they have to change what they call the preliminary rounds when those qualification contests turn to annihilation runs? This is gonna be awesome! PS... nice machine!

[@DIRT-BOSS]

Lol yeah I'm down with that challenge !

[@awgauntt]

Looking Kool!

Yeah it's too big definitely going to do some fabrication

[@sonnyblazer5504]

Powder, Paint & Ain't - I'll get some mileage out of that one!!! Well, you promised you'd follow-up on his new toy and you are the man of his word. (And those vents could have all been changed too!) What you showed with the thumb will be a "what you get used to", like you said. That thumb 'looks' long but it meets the bucket, so. Hey, how wide is the other bucket? Looks like 5ft and "tilt"! Only way to go! Thanks. Sonny

[@DIRT-BOSS]

Yes the toe is 5 ft I think we're going to modify that thumb ! I got to talk him into it but yeah machines good unit "powder and paint make it what she ain't" ! 😂

I put about 800 hours on one like that on a Windmill job. They are a nice excavator!

[@DIRT-BOSS]

Yes it seems like a nice machine

[@TrailTrackers]

800 hrs on a single job??? Windmills must be hard as fck to install. Or am I missing something?

Hey Mike just catching up on some videos. That 321 is a very nice machine. I ran A D model on a highway job a couple years ago and they are sweet. How come I can’t see the live feed you did with Todd the other night? It says it’s not available? Take care buddy 👍🏻

I'm not sure he might of it deleted it..yeah I think that machine's going to be a solid machine Cat come out today to look at the thumb because it's way too big they ordered the wrong thumb what a mess ! I can't reply in a story for some reason That's my wife's Ford explorer

You ain’t kidding. I spent most of my 20s in caterpillar excavators and those buttons for the heat and radio are normally split and broke and the louvers are normally bashed in. I That thing is in great shape

Agreed

the pucker factor got a little high did you taste a little seat cushion LOL

Lol 🤣🤣

[@TrailTrackers]

You slide far enough on a steep enough road or hill on ANY excavator in the winter time and it's guaranteed that seat will have a mohawk when you stand up to exit.

[@DIRT-BOSS]

Lol yes sir

[@LLImprovement]

I'm looking at the exact same machine. A 2007 model, They're 51,000 and change. It's at an auction sale ends next week. I've been looking for a machine for 3 years. Nice to see this one. How much were the crush panels? I seen your video of your test at the dealer.

[@davidnull5590]

The Orlando auction? I browse things there,, i couldn't find the number of hours on that one, needs sprockets and a few things. Checking the sold prices there's a wide range of prices, I see one sold for 18.5k and another 50k. A wide range. BTW I'm not buying, just looking. Good luck with your purchase.

He worked that into his deal so I don't know how much they were cat paid for them

[@LLImprovement]

@@davidnull5590 No I did not, I am up in Canada. I believe the one I was looking at sold for over 30,000 USD as well. But for what the machine was it wasn’t worth that much money. 12,000 hours. All the crush panels bent up. Bucket was fairly worn and teeth needed replacing. No records on maintenance.

The lowboy driver delivering that excavator should buy a lottery ticket, he's a lucky guy, he didn't get caught by the DOT or an enthusiastic cop, if you're over 80k you get exactly **one** thing on the trailer, often it costs the driver two or three thousand plus lawyer costs.
