Spencer's New Excavator!

[@walterlaubscherjr2011]

Congrats Spencer on your big purchase hopefully you boys will eventually buy your first semi and trailers soon. Hope the Landscaping business goes well.

[@Dbgaming-dp8rg]

Yo love u been here since the beginning good luck this year. I actually have a pretty big farm that I work on but I still learn things from ur videos

[@paulprigge1209]

Wiseman will always learn from somebody including a green Rocky.

[@bobbyflowers4859]

I would recommend a root grubber. It won't create a massive hole like the bucket. I ran a cat for 2 yrs. I enjoyed the results. Congratulations guys.

[@granthilbert5632]

Will look into it!

[@motohayden6639]

I went past your machine shed on March 27 on Sunday pulling a disc with a black Chevy I saw the front open I saw your tractor and 3 trucks there I wonder if you saw us it felt awsome passing y’all

[@wendymangas5973]

It's nice to see two brothers that get along so well, congratulations on a big purchase. John

[@timjenkins4637]

I have been a heavy equipment operator for almost 40 years and those Link Belts and Case Excavators are some of the smoothest machines I have run!

[@PTbanshee44]

We farm in South Africa and there are plenty of isuzu vehicles and they are known for being extremely reliable even in very tough conditions.

[@zacharymantel5108]

Izuzu actually makes durmamax too

[@Pieter6446]

You are right. We have 2 isuzu double cabs, and a isuzu truck. Very reliable.

[@onecrazytruckinfarmer]

One thing I miss about heavy haul is haulin excavators. Link bilt make good machines Spence will like it. Nice purchase guys.

[@jeremywyatt2609]

First and congrats to you both we are all proud of where you are going with the farm and Spencer's landscaping business best of luck from Georgia

[@masonweiss5279]

If you put all the trees in a middle of the field you can burn it and the ashes will help the soil. Love the videos keep up the good work.

[@robertfitzsimmons2507]

It's definitely a sweet feeling knowing that you have the right Toys to do the work and build your dreams. Congratulations to you fellers you earned it.

[@sethkeulen9086]

You guys are amazing together looking forward to spring around the corner

[@B4rberblacksheep]

Got to love when the people you're dealing with are good people. No blame game just super cordial and working with you against the problem.

[@tiffanydiehl2475]

Your probably the best farm sim youtuber that I have ever seen squad keep it up

[@austinzink7899]

Nice unit. Y’all otta get a forestry mulcher head for the excavator also! Build a pile somewhere with the trees and just mulch them all up!

[@LtdES7638]

Right on boys, so good to see the progression. Thank you for taking us along on your farming lifes. Keep up the great work

[@AdamSmith-uv6kr]

There is simply nothing more rewarding then the day you get to fire up and operate your first excavator for the first time. I dreamed of having one for years and finally got one in 2019 for my land clearing business. Still my favorite machine and was used too

[@codydeitrich263]

You should make a video showing all your farms with a drone or Google maps.

[@ProvenClips]

That pete is fire

[@t3s9]

Congratulations guys on your new excavator! also backhoe controls AKA Baby mode is more hard to operate then normal excavator controls 😂

[@kalebdoland5543]

Awsome! I can’t believe how far you guys have came

[@SpecCustoms1308]

Hey Grant, i would mow along the side of the road to make it easier for you and Spencer.(love your videos on both channels)

[@avation7875]

Congrats on the new piece of equipment,excavators are so much fun

[@jasonwoods3384]

Congratulations on the new purchase

[@andrewveitch8515]

Living vicariously through you guys. In medicine here, but would rather be farming. Huge fan of your channel.

[@martymorse2]

Spencer, You seem like a smart guy who put a lot of time in knowing everything about excavators. Do the same homework on speaking. Please refrain from saying exact same. It is a message that you do not understand English. Exact and same are redundant. If you must say exact same. Use it an an adverb. Say exactly the same. Hate to be picky, but when you speak in redundancies you are telling the world you skipped English grammar in High School. Great content. Keep up the great work.

[@tonyr.5652]

I'm so glad i can be here and see your jurney into farming... TY for sharing it with us.

[@randommaniac245]

Sure it'll come handy on farm.It might just look dry and rusty,but don't forget to grease it well.

[@diegobarraza6657]

Love the vids and I like to see Spence grow his own operation equipment. If you want to pull out the trees l, just do it with both Powerstrokes. And maybe my ‘01 Chevy S10

[@brozski0026]

Man I'm so jealous! Used to work farming with my grandparents and I've always wanted to farm but just never get to! Love these vids man

[@granthilbert5632]

Thanks Brozski!

[@tcvfarming7146]

Great that two brothers run a farm together keep up the good work

[@ethanstractorpartsandremov7564]

Spencer, always make sure when digging or hauling trees to make sure your sprockets are behind you and your idlers are in front of you on your track

[@Drew-in-NoDak]

listen to this advice!

[@ethanstractorpartsandremov7564]

@Layne cox most people think it’s just a petty rule of thumb but, Guys will break the undercarriage right before the final drive or it will damage a final drive

[@johnsfarmlife]

Hey I like the new excavator thank you for creating a KZbin channel you made me create my own you rude and I appreciate how you’ve taught me thank you you’re a good KZbin creator

[@xBrodeurguyx]

For the algorithm. Likes, comments, shares, and subscriptions help your content creators more than you realize. Keep it up Grant & SPENCER haha!

[@Americanfarmer3]

My dad owns 2 and he says there the best and hes been running since he was 3

[@WhiteoutIII]

I like backhoe controls better than excavator and feels a lot better

[@manav-df7ke]

Only thing to worry about on isuzu are blown headgaskets

[@johnperry5102]

great video like the excavator that should take care of your trees and brush

[@granthilbert5632]

Thanks John!

[@billymangrum6799]

Hey guys congratulations on the purchase. What you are calling wipers on the hyd cylinders aren't wipers. They are called dust seals they will leak. Good deal about your excavator going back to the shop to make right.

[@liftedburblife]

Hopefully you put it through it's paces before you bought it .bucket pins being able to lift it's own self no blow by no boom or stick cracks stick and boom pins turn table check .wish I knew you were looking I believe my KZbin buddy c&c equipment has excavators in very good condition you probably could have gotten a batter machine.hitachi also runs isusu

[@alexandrelebaudroy4655]

That’s Isuzu engine are very nice I have one in a case cx210d and it has over 12500hrs on it and never touch it so far !! Congrats on the purchase!

[@wolfpacva]

Good luck with your new toy. Link belts are good machines.

[@devinpanzier8049]

A man that has done excavating where I’m at, he’s done it his whole life. But he told me when we were cutting trees he said dig around on both sides of the tree push it over and then scrap the dirt off the roots back into the whole you dug then it will fill the hole back up. He had to learn it and I have to. My grandpa use to say if you don’t know what your doing, just do it because you’ll never learn letting someone else do it.

[@timothyedwards9298]

We have a 210 track we bought used.... biggest issue hydraulic lines will bust they suckkkk to change and they are hard and expensive to replace because they are metric ends

[@seanglasser6969]

Compartment behind the door should be the switch to change controls

[@granthilbert5632]

We checked all over, but haven't checked there. Will check it out when I get back to the Hoe on Sunday. I figured with it being a 2006, that it would have a pattern changer.

[@TheBear1322]

@@granthilbert5632 yeah it should be in the battery compartment behind the cab

[@mikeallen7691]

Had a cat 311, didnt have a changer. Was able to swap hoses around and gave us control pattern we liked.

[@danbonikowske5870]

I bought a link belt excavator for around the farm last year too

[@jtr_0082]

You are saying izuzu correct because it’s a pretty popular brand for semis in Australia Great vid have a good day

[@coltongarber8087]

Congratulations on the new to you excavator Spencer. And i believe the Cummins engines are better for in heavy equipment

[@montymeyerkorth7665]

That semi is cool

[@joshsanders6072]

Great video keep up the great work

[@paulprigge1209]

CNC equipment out of Indiana. Indianapolis near there. On KZbin. He knows his stuff. I have seen him take a hit to satisfy a customer very knowledgeable. Pay InDollars to listen to the man. Really good videos.

[@tademccormick4602]

Great to see it been here since under 1 k on our farm we run a cat have no problem with wish the same for you guys

[@-lifeasafarmer]

That is a mighty machine

[@sanderr5259]

nice Isuzu is a very good engine, starts every time. one of my first excavators had isuzu and was never a problem with it. nice video

Well Spencer that looks like a fun toy. The worlds your sand box.

[@samcravener1394]

possibly missing snap ring on the end of the cylinder that holds the whole seal pack inside. also could possibly use bucket pins/bushings.

[@granthilbert5632]

Bucket Pins and Bushings were pretty good compared to a lot of other EXs that we tested out. Will check on the snap ring!

[@caelcantrell5784]

Grant for a sprayer you should get a spra coupe

[@gavinhenderson3861]

This is probably the most realistic farm sim channel

[@ashlandgunclub1000]

Check all your pins, keep with the greasing and the fluid changes, it will last you.

[@MrAndy406]

gees just get over the cat. nothing wrong with what ya got there, just give it a full service and clean the hydraulic screen In the tank. and get a batter bucket for it be perfect for what ya doing. enjoy

[@kylietroidl944]

I hope you have fun with the excavator. Love the videos!!

[@taylor11089]

I would have Looked at a Deere/Hitachi (even though they just Split Apart), Kobelco/New Holland (even though New Holland Doesn’t make Large Excavators anymore, there are still Deals out there), and Volvo Excavators. All of those Brands are Good, and have Good Dealer Networks, just like Case/Link Belt does.

[@lukelong9703]

Great Vid Guys. Also question for grant would you look into buying a second tractor this year

[@granthilbert5632]

Yes, really would like to, especially if I get a sprayer. I really really like the 00 and 10 series and would like to get another down the road. Or an older 9000 series to do my own drainage tiling. There's probably gonna be a lot of changes happening in the next few years (buying and selling differen't land etc, and moving the farm closer to home). So things will change a lot.

Sweet excavator Spencer. You can do some serious damage with this. You should name it Godzilla

[@CuriousEarthMan]

"holy sh*t that's a nice machine!" I thought at the opening frame. That's not the Bobcat sized excavator I was expecting (I missed several postings) Ya did a good one boys! You'll get your money's worth! And Grant, if you get the last part of the name, you'll come up with the rest: "soo-zoo". For a mnemonic, maybe "sue the zoo" 'cause their elephants got out and trampled your corn! lol just trying to help! lol Thanks for the great video! oh...I hope that bottom ground yields well when you get the drainage right! ..OK, I'm leaving another GH video feeling inspired! I'm grateful :) Thanks!

[@HunterFarms88]

I have a 1980’s link belt. They are great running machines

[@tracyadams9727]

Own a couple link belts, good machines, biggest complaint is no local dealer in my area now.

[@granthilbert5632]

We have 1 in central Iowa, and 1 in eastern Iowa. Yeah seemed like kind of a bit sketchy with not as many dealers.

[@mitchellanderson6377]

What's it about cost to plant a acre of corn not including equipment, and fuel...just seed, fertilizer, spray?

[@l0n3d4nger4]

They are good machines

[@Keamackcon]

cant wait to see what you guys get done!

[@evanjackson5528]

You should learn on Cat controls, there’s cat and backhoe, or some called them John Deere, but Cat controls are the controls most everything comes with now. And it’s way better and smoother lol.

[@FreedomForceFishing]

Love your Channel

[@jeremymullen5378]

🔥hey guyzz, linkbelt is a great machine. Isuzu is good engine too, I’m pretty sure the big Deere excavators have Isuzu engines too.
