this machine has been parked since we started it 7 years ago to play with it for a few minutes, I cant believe it fired right up once we got enough power to it!

Brian Wymer’s Handy Man Service I used to operate a Terex 72-31 Loading Shovel in Northern Ireland for the Army. The locals weren’t too enamoured with the sound of the screaming 2 Stroke at 3 in the morning when removing burning vehicles from their neighbourhood 😁 Good times...

That’s impressive! They don’t build them like anymore! I love how it hasn’t ran in 7 years and it hasn’t even warmed up and Charlie is just reviving the hell out of it 😂! Thanks for sharing looking forward to the other videos!

I’ve had Yanmar’s, Perkins, and Cummins and they are all decent, but the old Detroit’s, the 70s and 80s are so damn reliable.

Look how much storage space you gain. It is disheartening to hear someone stole the battery and cut the cables to get it. I know the lowlife is everywhere. The thing that helps me is CCT and I have never lost a thing. ........ Not an option in the field. Gun fire is good. LOL.

@Cfh15015 5 жыл бұрын

djkommando there’s a bunch of studies done about this very things. I believe in the 1800’s there was issues like this for diamonds. Which caused them (largest mine holding company) to shoot the price of diamonds through the roof so companies who who had very little sales each year could stay open. It became a game of product-quality with very high price and little sales vs less-quality less price with more sales. I own a service business and this is an everlasting issue with us. However, we lowered our prices while giving the same quality to encourage customers to come back. It’s worked outstanding except for only having 8 total days off since December 3rd....while getting paid for 30 hours a week instead of 80... tough balancing game for new businesses. Customers think your greedy is you have to raise prices so you can live. Always more to it than what meets the eye.
