Liberating The Caterpillar Excavator after its 25 year sleep..

[@stephransley4371]

Absolutely brilliant to see, what a powerful machine that Foden is.

[@DieyoungDiefast]

Way better than its replacement

[@UKSimon4170]

The more I see that Foden working, the more impressed I get. Local recovery company here recently bought one, bloody amazing piece of kit.

[@callen6893]

So far the Foden seems to be the best investment you’ve made. Nice to see Matt still exists. Things seemed to go smoother once manager Ted showed up.

[@CmndrFluffy]

Tractor: I can't, I just can't mate... Foden: Hold my tea, mate...

[@JobBorn86]

Foden did it while holding it's own tea 😅

[@kreemkrackered3755]

Those Fodens are probably one of the most practical vehicles I've ever seen - I've yet to see anything you've uploaded that they can't handle. Absolute beasts. 😮

[@max16]

jesus. the foden did not care that the digger was behind it. what a unit.

[@tommyfree4736]

If done correctly them wreckers will pull out a tank that's stuck in mud. Awesome bits of kit

[@samrodian919]

The Foden certainly does what it says on the tin! Awesome bit of kit! And the British Army binned them and instead got something far less capable. Typical!

[@MCMLXXXIV1984]

​@@samrodian919 but armored. That's why they got rid ofthem

[@toml8142]

@@MCMLXXXIV1984the Faden was replace due to the Man contract, that bent if it had to achieve its specified turning circle. Every Man RV truck was ritually humiliated by loosing a tug-o-war with the Foden before it’s retirement

[@PhilipBloomfield-n6w]

Great video guys good to see fitter Matt

[@JAY61ish]

JCB Fastrack... totally owned by Monster Foden...

[@richboyo8306]

With all the crap I watch on KZbin I’m the happiest when you boys release a video. Just good lads being lads. Brilliant. Keep the videos coming you cheer many people up. 😊

[@Unknown1880]

Seems like every farmer needs a Foden🎉

[@studips]

The Foden just sat there shaking it’s head at the JCBs efforts

[@Keith-middleton70]

🤣🤣

[@dennis38y]

That’s a cracking restoration on the Fasttrac after the fire 🔥!

[@knusern666]

Just needed a few bodypanels and a bit of paint

[@edwardpigg]

Highly enjoyable video.. as a farmers son myself, it’s easy to see the expert eye for precision..

[@snaggletooth555]

We're definitely a different breed 😂

[@juststeve5542]

As a close friend of a farmer, I can appreciate the top level farmering I'm witnessing in this video.

[@mangore623]

So, what I’ve gathered from these videos is that the best way to find a vehicle that’s easily repairable is to ask Joe for his assessment. If he gives it the thumbs up, it’s likely beyond repair. Perhaps the most enjoyable channel on KZbin these days.

[@robleary3353]

Bodgey brothers recovery!. Love it!. 🤣 Always a laugh, but get the job done!. Nuff said.🤣

[@Paddington60]

You comment reminds me of the name I would call my boat repair yard, "Bodgeit and Scarper" !

[@hammyh1165]

That would look great sign written on the Foden doors 😂

[@paoloviti6156]

The Foden never fails to impress me, really it has become my favourite vehicle among other favorite vehicles 😅😅😅 A bit of work has to be done on this vehicle but it will be a very useful addition to your park👍👍👍

[@danielgarza8381]

That joke at 4:17 that everyone missed is hilarious 🤣

[@nikoshi1988]

I just love that Foden. It really does not give a damn what's behind it, it just goes ❤

[@Keith-middleton70]

Seen enough diesel brothers to know removing the planetary gears is the easier way,BUT you guys are very entertaining 😂😂 keep up the great work you lot & that FODEN is a Monster!!

[@unluckyalf2007]

These guys should have been on Scrapheap Challenge back in the day

[@SalvageWorkshop]

Well Done! I love moving old junk, and DANG that Foden is INCREDIBLY versatile and I wish I had one!

[@andrewhumphries4029]

This channel reminds me of my Dad. he was a 26 yr old sgt major in the REME in 1940 in the Battle of France. He was a 'get it to work by any means' guy and would have loved seeing this!

[@chrisjack7857]

That foden sounds so good! Great videos as ever! Keep em coming. My no 1 channel.

[@jayd1974]

That Foden had some power 👍Nice Fastrack too👍Will love to see that old Cat machine working 👌

[@kippamip]

Nice little save chaps. Great to see the northern monkey Matt again, and I love the hitching system on that fast track very Gucci. It will be great if you get that old wreck up and running.

[@thelincolnshirespannerman]

Seen some sketchy things in my time, but that was fantastic 😂 excellent use of British equipment to rescue the American 😑 10/10 thanks for your service sir 🧐😂

[@johnnunn8688]

Puts sunnies on, to protect eyes from grinder sparks; sets fire to bollocks. Neat.

[@raytheron]

If the Foden can't move it, nothing will. What a machine!

[@nickhill2223]

Arguably one of the best machines of its time, the Cat 215, (only an Akerman could give it a run for its money.) Drove a 215 about 30 years back, would have another tomorrow. If you cant rebuild it, replace it with another 3304, those engines just sing when they're working flat out.

[@douhacomcastnet]

Even though he showed up late, it was good to see Matt again.

[@briancollins2027]

Much against my better judgement we need to see more of Brian Blessed! Viva Fitter Matt!

[@Xyzabc998]

infinitely ingenious. Truly a MacGuyer of our times. The Foden is king.

[@WaceyJay]

Fitter Matt is something like a blister... shows up when the hard works done lol.... I still love that foden

[@andrewwww7684]

Those Foden's are absolute BEASTS and you just know its gonna be a great episode when one of them is deployed, can't wait too see the CAT 360 come back to life and I can't believe that kids haven't wrecked it more than they did over many years its sat there when you first showed it.

[@DiveJersey]

You know its heavy when the Foden needs more than idle to move it. What a machine. Great watching you guys.

[@genesiscomputersystems5628]

The JCB was like bringing a stone to a gun fight (trying to pull the digger) The Foden on the other hand is like bringing an 88mm Antiaircraft gun to a gun figth, that Foden is a beast

[@Black3ternity]

Another great video. I love your content. Would love one or two videos on the Foden itself. How it works, what it can do etc. Maybe some upgrades or modifications you plan or want? This thing is a beast and I always enjoy it when you can hear the distinct engine sound in your video.

[@Wriglarr]

The No5 bent, but the plastic cable ties held, mind blown....

[@steve1315]

As usual a good video guys 😎😎👍👍,Mr health and safety don't get complacent with welding use the right gear .

[@tomgriffin286]

The Foden really came into it's own - what a machine!

[@vtc5961]

Foden is just an absolute weapon. Would love to see a full walkround of the mighty beast

[@kite7214]

After all MY years with military vehicles I never knew that I would love that Foden so much.

[@seanohalloran]

The Foden has to be one of the best bits of kit you have in your garage. It’s certainly my favourite, just an awesome machine. When’s the Foden merch coming out 😅

[@samrodian919]

And they have TWO of 'em lol

[@UhtredRagnarsson1949]

I swear that the Foden could pull a house down, with little or no trouble, love it.

[@MaraDaCoriovallum]

[@darrenhawken9766]

Great work , did a proper lash up on that 👌, will be nice to see the CAT running and earning again 👍💨💨

Difficult evacuation. But, you did it. Well done!

[@chrisgosling6083]

love watching the foden at work, its a monster!!!!!

[@kwinterburn]

Excellent work , the Fastrac just doesn't have enough weight to move the Excavator , the Foden has what it takes

[@carlcarlamos9055]

The tractor would have done it, but required lots of cable, skookums, and time. Take care.

[@mikefoley360]

The Foden is impressive, nearly as useful as baling twine :)

[@ianwestmoreland5950]

Admit it Joe, you're missing Jack! If he'd been at work, he'd have been the one with the burnt face! 😉 Like you, I'm convinced a couple of impact guns would have loaded the machine straight on. As ever, the Foden was awesome. I was expecting at least a vertical jacknife when you unloaded the Cat. Before you spend a penny on it, assuming once you've refitted the head, and everything works perfectly, how much do you expect to get for it? - As opposed to what you'll get for it scrap? - Just a thought! 😀

Next time you weld without a mask drink half a litre of vodka immediately afterwards. Doesn't help the burn but it makes you feel much better

[@Danspy501st]

I arent sure, but wouldnt it be easier to take the planetary gears out instead of the motor?

[@alexb.1320]

The Foden impresses me more each time. But I do like that hitch on the JCB tractor, it was muscle power and farm jacks if needed back on the farm in my day. I take it the UK doesn't have farm exemptions for roading farm equipment that you had to stay on "private" access lanes?

[@Astro_Nullity]

“I identify as a Foden” lmao 😂
