Linkbelt Excavator Clearing

[@ridethroughlifertl]

I love these 3rd-person views of the link belt. It looks more like a dinosaur destroying stuff than anything else.

[@sam70856]

Love that sound of machines as they face you then spin away while they work. Nice

[@johnm.evangelis693]

I thought there was something amiss here, I new you had sold this machine.Great video just what the Dr. ordered this monday morning. Good day to you C.G.

[@janvandenbos7085]

Amazing footage Link-Belt excavator in action , so nice with the mechanical thumb works so good, thanks for sharing Letsdig 😎👍👌!

[@whiteox11]

hiya that`s a nice clean looking linkbelt you have there

[@makingithappen5178]

Hello there Chris 🚧🔥🚧. You were already good then and are even better now. By the way. When you pulled up the trees and roots, I thought of the dentist.

[@Eatongee]

At the 3:40 mark.....looks like a Dinosaur working on a meal. :) Great vids. Just subscribed.

[@FinishCarpentryTV]

so cool. its like a video game

[@tigerwoodz8711]

Lets Dig. First off love your videos. Few questions. What year is that machine and was it re-painted? Next question. Are Case, Link-Belt, and JCB excavators the same damn machine with just different engines, power, and other features. They all 3 look exactly alike, the excavators that is. And the same goes for Hitachi and John Deere. I 'm really curious , Thanx for you info u can provde.

[@nhutquach911]

Tha Realest all of them are same. In our country, We call this excavator "sumitomo sh200", u can search in google and see it.

[@tigerwoodz8711]

Is it a japan made excavator uned by case JCB anf Link Belt with there own features? That's what it seems like to me Because case makes their backhoes and most companies make ther own equipemtn . I have ghoogle but not good info

[@quangquach5282]

I really like your link-belt 2800 that is called sumitomo sh200 in our country. Nice video although it was sold.

[@Brian-gw6di]

which one do you like better your old Link Belt or your Volvo you have?

[@regsparkes6507]

I would think that the fact that he has two Volvo excavators and a Hauler now, speaks to that, Brian.

[@JohnOBryan]

I know nothing about these machine so forgive my stupidity. I'm curious about a something... When you're spinning around in that thing.. in relations to the track... how do you know if you're facing forward or backwards? Could you forget which direction you were facing, throw it in drive only to quickly realize you were going in reverse?

[@mlemmon9232]

John O'Bryan on some machines there are little arrows on the back of the drive motors facing the forward direction. But it is easy to forget which way you are facing and accidentally go the wrong way

[@JohnOBryan]

Thanks mlemmon923. Seems that could be quite dangerous if you were working close to a steep edge.

[@RockCreekEnterprisesNM]

If you forget which direction your facing, just push on the pedals and see which way you move. There is no drive to throw it in to, just pedals, toes for forward, heels for reverse. One pedal for each track.

[@thecraftiekiwi4919]

John O'Bryan you just give the pedal a little push to see which way they go take a few secs before the machine starts to realy move. the machine i drove today beeped when u walked one way to tell u

[@thawingfirespeaks1257]

What size bucket do you have on the link belt

[@thecraftiekiwi4919]

[@robertallen7106]

[@randymaylowski2485]

[@DFRDRIFTPIG]

garvis evans he did. This is an old video just before he sold it.

[@vladimirvukovic6630]

Amazing :O

[@masonrobinson9521]

Do you still have the daewoo? By the way great videos

[@outdoors_with_owen2249]

What state do you work in

[@SledgeHammer43]

Come on Chris you know that if you add more than a foot of soil above the roots of any tree it may kill it. more than a foot it's going to die. because the trees down here don't have deep massive tap root.

[@letsdig18]

Don Hanson oh I knew it but I took the chance to see if they would make it

[@volquardholthusen4625]

Well well, those poor pine trees.... :-)

[@jasonknight4906]
