The Birch bike demo was quite enjoyable and did a great job showing its versatility. Watching you playing, uh, I mean, doing the demo on the bike showed the basic simplicity of its operation. Also decided you could be president of the Ocoee area chapter of the Midlife Crisis Angels Almost Motorcycle Club .
Hey Sam I think that bike is perfect for your purpose.. Just a word of caution there has been a stack of stories here in Australia about these type of E bikes catching fire when charging for your safety please keep in an open space when charging and preferably don't charge overnight unattended.. They mount great to your equipment as well.. Happy trails Sam.
Impressive Sam it going over all those loose leaves as well.... Be super handy for a lot of things but think I would be making some baskets to go on the racks to carry things next!!!
I'd like to have one of those bikes to ride between my house and my shop. It ain't that far, but I'm old and worn out. Lol. Nice message, that is my favorite event in the Bible. Happy Thanksgiving, Sam.
Sam, Happy Thanksgiving! The bike is an interesting idea. I would be worried that I would have a senior moment, fall off the bike and get hurt. We are all thankful for you and your channel. As always, thanks for all you do! God Bless.
Sam, you convinced me that bike is COOL! It was great to see you riding through that hickory road project! Thanks for sharing the message... there are lots of people that just dont care or know the true meaning/purpose of christmas... thanks for sharing!👍
Yeah Ricky that bike is pretty impressive. I was surprised in how well it does on steep hills. Yes, sadly there are a lot of folks celebrating Christmas as a holiday and not the birth of Christ! Thanks and God Bless
Nice message today , pleasant suprise to have a thanks giving video, may have to watch out when you get to a job with growler, start exploring and spend half a day riding,
It’s a pretty cool deal! I would say some other folks will try it too. I have definitely never seen this before. But might be a reason for that too…🤣🤣🤣
I love that bike. Maybe Santa will bring me one. This was a Thanksgiving Blessing your video and Message. Now show us the bloopers. Happy Thanksgiving 🦃!
@@tristardiggin I was gonna say something about a "KID" and a "NEW TOY" but... well you were having TOO much fun for me to spoil it! HaHa Blessings Keep up the great videos and the Godly Messages -- Richard
Happy thanksgiving Sam! I really enjoyed the video. That bike looks a very useful tool, and a pretty fun toy! Great message, our sins are paid in full!!
@@tristardigginlove the channel and how you are spreading the Word of God to many, thanks for being a light in this dark word. My Dad and I run a construction business in the same line of work so I enjoy getting to see other ways of doing things you’ve helped me school Dad a couple time lol!! Have a blessed day and Happy Thanksgiving to yours!
Keep buying them Cats! And pick up a few shares for retirement. Paying decent dividends and has gained nicely for me. And they are biblically responsible according to Financial Issues screenings. Very good foundational stock!
Sam, I watched this video of you trying your bike. As you were talking at the beginning I felt you should emphasize saving time more than just not walking. Then as you showed your way of carrying the bike I thought you are going to get tired of that timely strapping and toting those carriers around. Thats going to be more work than its worth. I am a retired LTL Truck Driver 19 years city and 21 road and working efficiently was always pushed on us and got be a way of life. The bike manufacturer seems to want to get into your field for customers. I don't know how heavy the bike is but I thought why not see if the manufacturer can make a dropped down receiver post at the low end of the seat post that can go directly into the hitch. I saw you teetering the bike on the kick stand with the wheels turning. Maybe engineers can come up with that post I mentioned and some way to lift the bike several inches or more so you can push it into a receiver hitch. The hitch itself should be customized so you won't have to pull teeth etc. to hook it up. Maybe there could be a more permanent hitch to put on the back of your dozer, excavator, and track loader and all equipment will always be ready for a quick attach. The lift might be included with the permanent hitch. That would take discussions between you and the engineers I'm sure. In previous videos I thought about you need some way to get back and forth to save time and I think this bike could be the answer but needs modifications to make it serve its purpose. I ran across Todd at DigginLife21 first then you and watching the two of you I feel I was in the wrong business for over 40 years. I have a Bobcat 742B skid steer that I like working with but I think getting a bigger track steer, an excavator, and a small dozer I think I could be in Heaven. I like watching both of you and have learned a lot form both of you and I enjoy the videos. Thanks my friend who has no idea who I am.
@@donaldmmancuso8715 Hey Donald I appreciate that. Good info on modifying the bike to go straight into the hitch. It’s definitely going to be a time saver and a step saver. Sounds like you may have a bit of dirt running through your veins like Todd and I do. Hope you are have a blessed Thanksgiving!
Well Sam you’re working some of the kinks and complications out of your bike. Have you tried to strap the bike rack to the bike and bring it back to the truck yet? Bike rack on dozer goes into woods. Bike comes out with noway to get it home or onto excavator would be a bad situation. Yes the true meaning of Christmas. Christ and the celebration of his birth so we may never die. Happy Thanksgiving.
An enjoyable and useful endorsement vid. Well done. What will you do when you have to bring in 3 or more pieces of equipment on starting day? How will you transport the bike on your mini, skid steer, mini haul truck? How will you tote the receiver hitch and carrier back out for a3rd or later carry?
Hey Bob thanks and I appreciate that! 👍😀 The receiver will fit on the skid steer bucket and also the mini x bucket too. The haul truck is a different story. I don’t suppose it will be easy to hook to it. I will strap the rack onto the back of the bike to haul it back to the truck…
Need a back seat for Diesel. Cup holder and chain saw carrier. Maybe a coffee maker and cooler and port a potty. Sam that bike is more trouble than its worth.
Preston it would definitely be a cool hunting bike for sure! 😀👍 Haven’t done a specific video for that but in general I mix some of that in the videos…
I saw the bike in the video thumbnail. I immediately looked to see if the video was 30 seconds (teaser vid), or a full length vid. :) Also... Shocks, pegs, lucky! You ever take it off any sweet jumps?
Happy Thanksgiving, I'm sure the bike rack unhooks from the excavator then you have to haul the bike rack back to the dozer. I'm not sure how it attaches back to the bike?
Wow Sam that bike looks awesome. What’s the price in the bike if you know it??? The only thing I’m worried about is all the fires that those batteries have been doing, wonder if it’s a much better battery. Can you extend the bucket bracket so you don’t have to remove the teeth and still carry the bike
Not sure about the battery issues. Someone else mentioned that in a comment as well. I probably could figure out how to extend the mount someway. This bike cost around $2500…
I've been watching your electric bike dilemma, and honestly, I think you're overcomplicating what’s barely a problem. Back when I ran tow trucks, if we had to pick up a motorcycle, we’d just sling it up. If we needed to, we’d tie the wheels down to the wheel lift. Guess what? It worked, no drama. Letting your bike swing around a bit? Probably not the end of the world. And storing a couple of slings? Please. We just stuffed them under the seat or in the cab-easy peasy.

While that bike makes life easy that walk makes life longer. Especially if you don't exercise in your free time.
Yup that’s a good point! 👍😀
Great message Sam thanks keep preaching!

Now the chainsaw mount is a must! 🤣
That would be great for hunting and have you thought about doing a video of what someone would need to have to start a skidsteer business

Haven’t done a specific video for that but in general I mix some of that in the videos…
Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family, be blessed.
@ Thanks Kevin and Happy Thanksgiving to you guys as well!
Watch for others to follow suit now that you have the basics figured out 😂
That would be interesting to see what gets hauled on a dozer or excavator…🤣👍
I saw the bike in the video thumbnail. I immediately looked to see if the video was 30 seconds (teaser vid), or a full length vid.
:)
Also... Shocks, pegs, lucky! You ever take it off any sweet jumps?
Nope, probably stay away from the teasers. 🤣🤣🤣
No jumps yet bet probably find something to ramp it off of…🤣
