Sold The Linkbelt

It was a bittersweet day

[@denniswiggins1369]

That's a great looking paint job! Looks new almost.

[@TomBrueggen]

Sad day. Like you said, I think I love the motor in mine the most. You know I have a 3400. And same thing, it'll pop right off, cold or hot. Run hard all day and she thanks me when we're done. And yeah, maybe not the fastest, but faithful as can be!

[@larryboynton3853]

Chris, I sure liked the 2800. Pretty machine. It served you well. Will miss it.

[@odc43054]

You fixed it up nicely and got a lot of good use out of it. Hopefully you did well in selling it and it will help a lot getting your house project going.

[@localcrew]

Your phone blowing up is people going "NOOOO!!! NOT THE LINK-BELT!!!" But hey -- new house & stuff, so you've got that going for you.

[@randallwescoat9224]

I finally got past keeping equipment around that I don't need or use enough. Still hard parting with something. You're like me, it doesn't take long to sell something when people know it's been taken care of. It pays to service regular and keep them clean. I really enjoy your videos! Enjoy new house when you get started.

[@bradvaughan4524]

Glad you got your use out of it and found it a new home. Nothing kills a nice machine like setting around.

[@regsparkes6507]

That's what I do ( or used to do ) buy an older machine, fix them up almost like new, or certainly a lot better than when I first bought it, then sell it . Bummer, but then not really, I get a lot of use from it and pleasure too, sometimes. Then let somebody else have use of it.
I know one thing for sure Chris, your '2800' gave me a lot of viewing pleasure ! Thanks.

[@Lanninglongarmmowing]

Anyone else have this video not show up in their subscriptions on RUclips? This video showed up in my home tab. I am subscribed to you. Weird.

[@davidgenthnerjr4995]

Glad to see you got your money's worth out of that machine and then some. Great video

[@robfraley4210]

That 2800 Link-Belt sure came out Nice, I hadn’t seen it since you painted it.
Also great plan to use it for the House down payment to go where the trailer is
At 1:30 🕜

[@rodneystewart8958]

That machine looks like a new one I would be proud to have

[@Northern_Farmer]

I'm with you on the house...I'm sick of my trailer to...you just out grow them

[@letsdig18]

i went from a 3 bedroom 2 bath 2 car garage house to a single wide trailer lol i knew from the start this was not going to be long term!

[@Northern_Farmer]

Yea similar for me when I moved to my farm.... just getting tired of the narrowness and no man cave basement lol

[@super6954]

Hi The old girl sure ended up being a nice machine. I think we been round long enough to know there will be another "Project machine" as you got some spare cash and the price was right to buy fix and flip another one for more money to build a house..
I've been round long enough working with machinery to know in a lot of cases older machines don't "accidentally" catch fire. There is usually a very good technical reason. I talk to a lot of wrecking yard owners to and they say the same when ripping burned equipment apart, and the smashed gears and things they find. The fire was just a cheaper get out for junk equipment and to move on to newer better stuff without a trade in or big repair bill L.O.L.

[@rude252]

The background music was rather calming thank you :D :D
Sad to see the old girl go though.

[@hestonsawmill1783]

I'm going to miss watching videos of ol'betsy im going to look at one in the morning I hope everything wrks out with

[@ngtflyer]

A little sad to see her go, but she's leaving in way better shape than she arrived. Should be a great machine for the new owner!

[@SledgeHammer43]

Well I guess you will have to bring one of the Volvo's from work to build your basement. For your New House.

[@46rambo49]

been well cussed at too, replacing the drive gear and the bucket and ...... and.... and.... machine tain't broke in till ya cuss at it a time or two. Thanks for the videos

[@darrellbatchelor9360]

Sad to see it go man. But good luck on the house!

[@thesoutherndirtking1945]

Good looking machine

[@iflyhelis]

You can see that she is grinning at you with her jaws open, face it, she loved you. she understands!

[@LangFamilyFarmsLA]

oh wow..congrats on the new house man!! Also we are getting a pond dug on our little farm in June(I will video the whole thing of course), what would be the ONE main thing I should ask/watch out for during this process? The pond will be about an acre and Im told we will need a well to fill it since water sheds away from it.

[@letsdig18]

ID find a better spot that had some watershed going to it. if not thats going to be a nightmare to keep a pond that big full in the summer.

[@LangFamilyFarmsLA]

Sadly this is the only spot. I was considering having a trench dug and letting the gutters from the house feed into the pond as well, plus we live in South louisiana so we get a LOT of rain. Damn Im a bit nervous now, but a pond in the front yard with an island in the middle is necessary to complete the dream picture my wife and I want sooo....I guess I'll dig :)

[@davidknows3320]

Yup, sad day. Hope the new guy treats her well.

[@nemo227]

That Linkbelt is a better machine now than when Chris bought it.

[@blakeb1992]

Sad to see it go, but it will be great to see house updates now! No more mobile mansion!

[@a.naw2525]

It would be cool to see you keep flipping equipment on the farm!

[@letsdig18]

it is fun to do!

[@twoody2148]

maybe you tube didn't like it having the same video name as a previous one , so they didn't show it up as a Subscription listing .. kinda like not "new"

[@jeffbeall4179]

out with the old. in with the newer. lol

[@Kepuuu]

I must ask this now. I have been wondering why you haven't got any tiltrotators on your machines? My personal opinion is that it makes job hell of a lot easier and much more enjoyable. Like your videos, keep them coming!

[@janvandenbos7085]

Sad to see it go Link-Belt 2800 excavator, 😭😭😭😭

[@christoffer1973]

What your choice of brand if you would bye a new one?

[@aimangomeztv6658]

Is this 20 ton excavator?

[@mraliks1]

Chris, which site do you post your machines on? Thanks for the vid.

[@letsdig18]

[@joetiller1031]

Don't blame you for selling her you got good use out of it and you do need a house.

[@vernjr88]

Is that a chicken coop in the background?
I had a 2800, was dependable until the radio went out.

[@letsdig18]

yeah it is

[@SouthernBoy-jy8nq]

When you build your house. Where will david move to.

[@charlestaylor2480]

what happened to the other bucket did you sell that with the link belt

[@JuBlaine]

did you move into the trailer so you could buy the land? just curious, i'm sure you have your own priorities

[@johnkramer7161]

He bought the land, then bought and put the trailer on it until he could build a house.

[@tomski38]

What the heck is up with youtube not showing your videos?

[@caseihmagnum279]

are link-belt good trackhoes in relation to the volvos you run

[@zigzag77777]

You're getting to the age where your building a love nest! Choose carefully, machines are a lot easier to live with...

[@Nighthawke70]

Burned up? Hmmmm.... 😒😒😒

[@dieterschlegel1816]

Again then he will buy another one in a couple of days lol

[@GrowItRice]

How much u sold it for?

[@tbirdracefan]

He lost money on it. Remember the guys at the IRS like to sit around and watch youtube also.

[@FishFind3000]

tbirdracefan he got his money's worth. Digging ponds for friends and cleaning land. Even if he lost money on the sale be make it back in work.

[@t.ggaming8337]
