One of these days there will be a knock on your door. When you open you will find a nice looking gentleman who, with a heavy Swedish accent and a no nonsense manner will simply say "Give me all of your Volvo tee shirts and caps you Cat driving, Hitachi owning, Yanmar loving, John Deere dating Benedict Arnold. No more cruises to Korea for you."
Our 2017 320 can barely grab a full scoop without bogging down. Cat came out and said there is nothing wrong with it, they did turn it up some but, that didn’t help. I love the volvo’s and deere’s, though the new cat’s are getting pretty nice.
I find it humorous watching y'll using that construction lowboy to haul a Cat 320. When I lived in Seattle I use to haul them from the Port of Seattle back to the yard in Malta with a tandem axle dump truck puling a 25 ton beaver-tail trailer.
I’d be interested to see how all those sensors last burning and clearing on those. We got a 330 and 336 next gen those summer. They have sensors all through the boom and stick for the grade control and scales. The scales are super handy for loading trucks
Had a trailor like this back in the 60's in the uk , was called a hydro couple , had its own hydraulic feet on the trailor , a nightmare to re align on soft ground !!!! but this one looks like a modern version of a similar piece
hi mate tell the truck driver I love his hoodie and how did you get on with the pond with all that mud .missed your video yester day did you have a day off lol
How do you like that homin' smoke? Whereever you walk in a circle around a fire, the smoke homes in on you. How do you like the thumb with its double bareled linkage? Seems like it would have more bite over a greater arc.
I wanna see it when it's got 10k hrs. Hope they hold up. I like 320 f best. It seemed stronger. Our new 1 don't even have air ride seat. Just seems cheaper made, still nice tractor, love the screen when I figure itvout. That's a bad ass truck an trlr!!!!
Some serious money there. The features on the next gen machines are out of this world. Like a feature to prevent your boom from going to high or too low. Check out Dirt Ninja's video on the next gen 336 and it in all the next gen Cats.
Treebutcher you do know what those are for right? Who’s there so that we know that they’re backing up. If someone turns their beepers off on their machines they obviously don’t care about us!
Alex Williamson's blind adventures dude, I get it that some people need different sensory alarms. But to assume that Chris doesn’t care about you is pretty reckless. I don’t think he would let blind folks roam about on his job site to get smashed by his 250 because he doesn’t care. It’s more for the video quality.
Whoa a CaT?!?! lol...That is a nice truck and lowboy for one thing..and also..looks like Chris has some excavator operator competition!!..lol We know who is the best though. I believe I have built some solar farms down and around that area of NC.
320g are one of my favorote track hoes to operate. Ive lifted basment pads with one dug basments and moved alot of loads of dirt. Will deff get a job done
I got a CAT 309 this past summer that has the "STICK Travel MODE". Hit the button and drive it like a skid steer. Does this have that feature? And if so, do you like it?
Come a long way from my day when we either loaded over the back or loaded from the side and twisted this way, then that way, then start over to get that two inches you need to be square on the deck... worst to happen to me was to break a lowboy in half on one side.
@@RiverValleyAcres Got a lot of respect for pipeline workers. I never worked on this one in alaska but when I only had my little excavator and dump truck, I used to load my excavator in the back of my dump truck. It just fit but it did till I got me a tilt trailer
@@RiverValleyAcres Best part of fifty years now with some brief down to states to visit family. Course we are a state too now but I voted territory as a kid twenty
I don’t know why, but with the stick stretched out and the bucket the way it was at the fire, it looked like a T-Rex looming over it’s prey. I swear it was smiling like it had conquered something. 😏👌
Saw a 36 ton escalator , swamp job, had pontoons for track. The track base was 6ft each side, 12ft total dispersion. Thought about in that mud. It was on curse of oak island.
Hey Chris, How do you guys like those Rampant Trailers? I am in the northeast and found them recently. The prices on their tag trailers are good enough that it would be well worth the fuel to come down and get one. Thanks for your time. I know you are a buse man.
But why a GC version ? The normal version is much more comfortable, and seems much nicer overall, or is this just for digging and the higher price doesnt pay off ?

Steve Hansen I just died laughing at this 😂
You forgot the Takeuchi, Kioti and Fiat-Allis
Too funny!!
@Simon Tarrant I saw that too - either it's a reference to the yellow and that's a bee hive cell? Or whoever designed it was simply NUTS!
Hahahahahaha
These new front loading lowboy trailers have made loading big heavy equipment so much easier and safer with slick conditions.
This will really get Mr. Anderson going!!
That beast has a beautiful thumb.
One sharp looking rig!
That is a NEW trailer,EH? Pretty, pretty pretty!!! Nice load, you ole smoothy
That’s a really nice looking machine. Really like the new Cat equipment

Who’s machine??
Cat videos, Jeff is gunn'a have tears in his eyes. Looks real purdy too.
That’ll look real nice after you tint the windows and add your Letsdig18 logo on the side!!
I just took delivery of a new 320 this week. I using it on my farm. I’m going to build a few lake. I absolutely love it. It’s amazing
It was pretty impressive how the Cat came up the steep lowboy ramp and settled onto the deck ever so nice and gently.
Precision work, picking up a cement block and backing it up. Nicely done boys.
Looks like some nice equipment
Thanks for showing this. I never knew how these trailers worked until now

LOL! The smoke just keeps following the camera! Back and forth - Back and forth...only thing missing's the coughing!
Mike .R. I mean I hate it for folks but glad I’m not the only one that smoke follows… I’ll walk all around a fire and it always follows
Old saying around here (southeastern NC) is if the smoke is following you your the man with the money 🤑
Looks like your Christmas presents came one month late LOL! Love the CAT!

Nice truck love to see when you haul out the equipment on the lowboy truck
I dont know what it is exactly, but when I see a person is truly skilled at what they do ... well it makes me feel warm fuzzy inside .
What a teaser! Chris is just pulling our legs... LOL! He loves his Volvos too much.
Sheez, one day with a long arm Cat and look what followed you home. I can't wait to see if it is quiet inside, unlike the 160.
Ricki they’re super quiet in the cab and a ton of cab room.
It's even got a progressive link thumb. I think Jeff might be rubbing off on you Chris!

Very nice looking equipment!
Wish you were a little farther back from the trailer so we could see how it was loaded and hooked up.
Beautiful outfit!
Thank you for filming the next CAT generation! And how is it? Your experience?
I’m in Alabama. I think I heard that back-up alarm from my house! Love that new machine!
Mobile area here!
i looked at a brand new $79,000 case cx210 full size excavator
@@michaelmactavish1728 $79,000 brand new??? did you forget to type the 2 infront of the 79,000.
Too slow for Chris’s liking - hes just keeping volvo on there toes 😉
The GC models have about 30% less horsepower from the engines than the regular models do, normal output Cat machines are NOT slow by any means...
@@GusCowMiller i agree by no means are CATs slow but compared to Volvos CATs are slow
This is the best lowboy I've seen in terms of build quality and ease of use.
Man, Rampant makes a bad ass trailer....and right down the street too... Damn, you just can't hide money....that's nice stuff right there
How do you like that homin' smoke? Whereever you walk in a circle around a fire, the smoke homes in on you.

Nice trailer!!!
**volvo has left the chat**
Alex Ossowski mic drop
A shiny new lowboy too.
Looks so fun
That's a beast 😎👍
Very nice machine it will for sure put in work
Now that is a fancy rig, very nice.
That smoke was following you
I can see Volvo officials sitting in their office sweating nervously while watching this video
All bright and shiny!
We had one identical to that one at the wrecker service I used to work for. I ran it and hauled it abunch. We used it to help clean up wrecks
Dayum. Smoked up all the filters.
Do you have to pull permits every time on oversized loads there?
there and every state in the U.S. requires an OS/OW permit over 8'6" Most equipment haulers have blanket permits to cover them though.
Don’t burn the paint.
So, what is the story? Why are we seeing a CAT excavator being loaded? Inquiring minds want to know why this was worth 12 minutes?
Bogusbits my thoughts exactly 👍👍
Bogusbits Charlie’s new toy maybe.
It worth 12 minutes because it's letsdig video.
He’s just keeping volvo officials on their toes
Just got our brand new 320 last Tuesday and oh boy!
Whose New Machine?
Are you going to ConExpo this year in Vegas?
Looks like somebody got a new trailer too!
That's a whole lot of new iron and plastic 😂. Nice video. Always good to see a sharp looking lowboy

@letsdig18 The thumb on the machine is pretty sweet!! What did you think of the excavator??

Boom up and down makes a strange hiss sound. Do you know what’s the cause
Restrictor valves on the cylinders maybe to prevent cavitation causing flopping cylinders.
What happened to the long reach waiting on parts ? I guess rental customers don’t grease stuff as good as if they own it ?
That is one beautiful machine
That thing is quick,would love to run!
That was my thought too. The Cat seemed fast in every direction.
So what was the story with this machine Chris? Was it another rental or a friend’s or what?
The new cat logos look good
I never got to pull a fancy trailer like that. Ours where manual . And that machine looked super clean n new.🤔😎😎
that wus a nice cat 320 & a kW
That is a beautiful lowboy.
What a nice machine, wow.
Whoa a CaT?!?! lol...That is a nice truck and lowboy for one thing..and also..looks like Chris has some excavator operator competition!!..lol We know who is the best though. I believe I have built some solar farms down and around that area of NC.
That trailer looks like it ain’t hauled anything before that day
That thumb, seems to be very powerful.
Is that thing a 4 cylinder? Sounds like it...seems kind of a big machine for a 4 banger.
I’ve always loved CAT
Awesome!! Losing my first one today that arrived from Alaska..
What a Beautiful Escavator, Caterpillar keeps knocking it out of the park.
Devon Gregg yep looks good
I like the new logo look also
Pretty much anything that caterpillar makes is outstanding
I like this machine better than the Volvo. better looking.

No comments on that clean peterbuilt? Was that trailer painted just before for this video?
Nice!!
it never fails...that smoke always follows you around!
He's just keeping Volvo honest!

Gave Chris a one day Demo on a long arm and damn! Hers you hats and oh Chris here's a few shirts and the payment book is in the mail. Hahaha
Dabo
Was that a air operated neck?
Funny how the smoke followed the camera there in the first few!
Bran-new trailer too, very nice.
Sold the 160, bought the new Cat 320D next generation. We expect that moment lol 😂😂🖐🏻
damn you got a new trailer too
I’m in the wrong kind of work new excavator . And that lowboy looks pretty new must be nice lol
Poor camera man, It never fails, smoke will follow you wherever you move to! lol I believe you finally won.
