Hey, Chris. I really enjoy the videos you do with Charlie. What I like about him is that he’s simultaneously modest and proud. Don’t see much of that these days. The same is true of you too, pal.

Those EL300s are damn good machines. Simple. Powerful. Reliable.

Charlie seems like a guy you could have fun with all day long.

Charlie has alot of nice machines and stories to go with them. Thanks for sharing! Chris, it was great to shake the hand of the living legend himself at Bunyan! Thanks for making the trip and taking the time to talk. I hope it wasn't overwhelming and you might consider going back next year?!?! Have a great week!

Charlie has as many real excavators as you have models!

Efficiency, productivity; it all helps the bottom line.

You know when Charlie leans on the machine a good yarn fallows 🤣👍

Another great video! Those still seem like solid machines! Good example of when you have more money in your gps than the excavator lol! Thanks for sharing

Amazing the advances in grade technology 👍. Great content

Great to see Charlie again and all his fine CAT YELLER Machines

Like the video Chris and Charlie .have great day You guy's .

Really love Charley Videos.

Love the old el300 one my favourite Machines to run

Like watching equipment videos please keep making them

Interesting chats. Cool video as usual 👍

Charlie is awesome.

I bet that is a truck loading beast. Looks like it has incredible reach

Another great video, Chris. Keep them coming.

Charlie has some cool machines

That's one big bucket load of the red stuff

You can learn a lot from Charlie.

I bet that 300 was a beast in its day.

Luv th howl of that pump

Tell Charlie to start making videos again

I was working on the harbor freight job out in dillion we did all the directional boring

How do you double the value of a 90's Cat 300, put GPS on it. How do you triple the value of a 90's Belarus tractor, Put a half eaten Mars bar on the seat L.O.L. Thanks Chris and Charlie for another great video.

yes sir, good machine

If they ever started using GPS equipment on road maintenance you might be able to drive 30 MPH down the street without having to hold onto the steering wheel with both hands and white knuckles. That might happen where Charlie lives, but I can't see it happening around here.

I'd like to see Charlie put all of his machines and trucks together to see his total fleet

Just wondering when is Charlie going to be posting videos again an I dig the Charlie videos you have been doing

Charlie needs to hire a camera guy to follow him all day so he can post video's again!

Great videos with you and Charlie chris, I know you’re all Volvo and he’s all cat but what’s your opinion on bobcat skidsteers? I have a small 90s model 440b and I’m looking to upgrade to a 06 t150, do you have any opinions on them?

I know exactly where Charlie is talking about in Dillon Sc. Just was in Dillon last week with a Disaster Relief team. We were wondering if thaiwas an inland port we saw. Also Harbor Fright is a huge place. Neither are from the Sout of the Border.

I miss grading. Charlie is right it takes time to learn and nobody wants to do it.....that and grading is a thankless job

Can you tell us what charlie uses the pit for ?? is it top soil

The trailer park by my place they have a e70b with a side boom and it still works

Was that harbor freight in Florence?

Where is Charlie's KZfaq channel! He would be a blast to follow along.

I like skid steers a lot

Is the GPS screen a stone tablet 10x

Nice

Charlie loves his mm grade stuff now. Those Cats have the power but lack the speed of the Volvo's.

Ooo like men good video

he is hilarious

Where is that dirt yard at, he does sale ot for grade 5 a d dirt applications right

Charlie sure isn't Chris when it comes to operating.

Charley is a kind of laid back guy that don't want to be on video and I can see that but Charley you seem like a great great man and and don't want to be out front man.

Alot of places require GPS to even get on the job now. Some guys can do as good by eye but these places and the liability require a paper trail and preprinted finger to point.

Isn’t the GPS to track the machine if it is stolen or for getting the right grade ? There is this outfit in Southampton, UK which contracts to locate your machinery if it gets stolen by attaching GPS and radio warnings so if the machine moves they can track it and recover it. They have videos on KZfaq. It’s very fascinating.It is called AutomatricsMTrack.

You could fall asleep driving that machine. It was painfully slow.

hes a textbook of dirtwork

@letsdig18 Does Charlie have a channel? He seems to be a man of many talents.

Hi, Chris your Boss is 😎 🖒

Good for Charlie! Evidently he’s a CAT man?

The company I work for has gps on a cat 345B and i thought that was old.

I would be suprised if I wanted a dude to come and dig some stuff for me.. And then all those vintage machines shows up. They are cool for sure but do he really make much of profit I guess those drink alot of more fuel.

I know it's older, but that machine seems a lot clunkier than yours. Still does the job though.

Zero arm rest! There’s your upper body work out for the day!

It didnt have any leaks when i got it now it does lol

Can someone answer for what Charlie uses that pit for im just couple years subscribed so i would appreciate it,love your videos

Wow only 12,000 hours on 300 the one we got at has about 51,000

Got Gps but can’t afford to shim the bucket up

That pad he's doing is for harbor freight?!? Does that mean I'll be able to buy a grader with gps for 99.99 after a 20% off coupon??? It'll just be called a Chicago Diesel Ground Flattener with Contop gps. I'm excited for this.

Does Charlie have a Michigan accent? He sounds like a couple of my friends from there.

How does Charlie come about all this money to buy this equipment. Is it from his business? Was the money handed down to him? Or does he get all this equipment for dirt cheap?

Actually it was a joint venture between Caterpillar and Mitsubishi which also spawned the birth of the 300 series excavators.

How did you and Charlie meet years ago?

is that Copperhead Marine?

Can someone explain 'yield' to me please? 2%...4%...-1%...-2%....I'm lost on the math of what Charlie is trying to explain.

This day and time I don’t see how any company that builds subdivisions, warehouses or really any kind of site work can afford not to have Gps systems, at least where I am. There is a huge lack of operators that can actually do anything. Plus your efficiency is incomparable to old methods

Hi

Lmao! “Charlie bleeds CAT” Love watching Chris and learning about excavators but Im with Charlie on the CATs. I was an owner/operator of nine CATs and now run an Ebay CAT Manual store called Texas CAT Manuals. That used to be my KZfaq account until they took exception to my political views and excommunicated me. 🤣😂😂😂🤔😂😂 So I made this account a couple of days later. If they blow this one up... like my CATs, I’ll be back in a day or so! What is the name of Charlie’s KZfaq channel?

Just think, all the jobs that were done without gps that worked just the same.

3 ads in the video? chris must be really hurting

Deere grader and ram instead of ford midlife crisis? Lol

The EL 300 are junk. Wast of money
