Good to see that there are hard working AMERICAN guys like me that wear Carhartt, tucked in flannel shirts, and Red Wing boots. I have high regard of both of you based on just how you dress, shows a lot of pride in your work. Keep the great videos coming!
I'm 70 and just wanna tell ya'll that you should NEVER wallop the end of pin with a hammer. Steel is soft and will bulge out and youll end up rebushing or something. You must keep those pins greased and clean. I know most of you have modern quick change buckets of which i know nothing but if you use old fashioned pins youre taking big chance pounding on them.. take the weight and them pull them out
Depends where you buy and the material, They are the only boots that hold up for me, I can go through a pair of Carolina's in 6 months, the Red Winggs last me a good 2 years.
@chuck738 that's right. most of the peoples are happy of "the seeming" and the caricature of the good old style thinking their money is for the country...
sure some strange looking buckets made down there. Why does that cleanup bucket have a gusset up the centre? Is that made of mild steel? Wow looks like you got quite the workout on that. Its funny you have the fastest grease gun on this video, yet ironically, the most archaic thumb and bucket setup I've seen since looking at Charlie's old Cat excavators. ...yet but its on a very late model new Deere 200C/ZX200 Hitachi, LOL ah well. Have a great day Chris and keep on digging safely.
Why Chris ? Is it mainly soft ground? In the area we work around here you are pretty Mickey mouse if you don't have a Hyd quick attach If you have to change from a hoe ram to a bucket ten times a day that takes a long time
@chuck738 all my carhart is made in mexico or one of those latin american countries acept for the coat and overalls that i found in my dads closet that are to yrs old but never worn :) a little big but im happy that there made in america
