Never thought I'd see an excavator mate with a truck.
That's how you get the excavators with wheels instead of tracks. 😂
The truck had a bad blinker, things escalated from there.....I mean excavated
It's amazing to see you using our parts for your upgrade! 😊 Thank you for sharing, and we're excited to support your future projects. Keep up the great work!
Thank you as well. It’s been great working with you guys
Ford F-150: Garage kept its whole life. A few minor scratches but runs and drives great. $10,000. No low ball offers. I know what i got.
I was thinking $11,500
@@99Projects FIRM !!!
Are you a smoker??
😁✌️
Clean frame NO RUST SPOTs. Lmao 51,553 original miles. Interior like new lol
20,000 years into the future, archeologists are standing where the rocks are wondering if they had religious significance. 😂
Wouldn’t that be cool
Wow! You young guys still know the famous SIX MILLION DOLLAR MAN Opening. When you bought something dirt cheap you expected a lot of repair work or lot of worn out parts replace.
You know us girls were freaking out over the “why” of the destruction of your truck. 😅
I don't understand these guys. I really don't.
@@happykt, try harder...think "fun"!
Given the time and effort put into repairing the excavator, my best guess is there was something wrong with the truck that was beyond repair; perhaps a bent frame.
Yet when it breaks down you call the guys to fix the truck and can't figure out why you have to call them all the time
It's not often that 5 and a half inches is too big to fit 😉
That excavator looks like a good addition to the fleet but what really impressed me was that arctic cat quad starting and moving under its own power
It seems to be a decent quad
Love how you find a solution to just about everything… or it’s a learning process as you go along.. Good job! & to Max.. I say you are the boss ❤️
Thank you, it’s always a learning experience
Love the excavator. In the army with heavy equipment we would always add an extra chain at the back so if something fails the APC or whatever doesn't join you in the cab. 😂
Loving the skills to buy cheap stuff and improve them!
Thanks
Two videos in one weekend! Amazing stuff!! I love the pacing of this video. The best part is actually seeing you go do the job at the end. I have tons of fun watching your content! Keep it up and stay cool! 💪🏻
When the coveralls are on, it's getting serious.
It’s about to get crazy
Bros gonna become the next whistlin diesel
I would have said camarata
Ants pants
And not in a good way
At least your not sitting around watching TV and drinking beer. This looks like a lot more fun.
What was wrong with the pickup truck?.
just a bunch of hillbillies
The ford badge
could have been a num,ber of things wrong with it engine or trans could have been blown and it cost more then the truck was worth to fix copulda had really bad spots in the frame there would have been more effort to repaiur or path then the truck was worth who knows could have been many things
😅@@RandyDarkshade2
Ford
I LOVE 99 PROJECTS YEAH
2 vids this week!! Your spoiling us man
Trying to lol
That poor defenseless truck. Thinking about the parts that could be used to fox other people's trucks.
I’m thinking about all the peoples lives Iv saved by destroying it.
Come to Dallas Fort Worth and spend a few days visiting all our salvage yards. Acres and acres with rows and rows of that same truck stacked two high.
@@scottgm321 does that rainforest look like Dallas?
Lol that ford was the first one that i see that did not look completely destroyed by rust 😂😂😂
As far as scientific experiments go, you can't mate a mini excavator with a pickup truck.
Wow that excavated quickly... I mean escalated.
I didn't realize the F150 came with a flatbed option
He fixes all kinds of old equipment. If he destroys a truck, that means it's something that is not reparable and will be scrap anyway.
Thank you, seems you understand how things work around here
Boys and their toys!
I've been a Chevy girl all my life but I sure wish I could have turned you loose on the last one we had. 2012 Silverado, one thing after another, couple thousand dollars in repairs, finally was told that to diagnose the last problem would require a total teardown of the engine JUST to diagnose, not repair (which we did NOT do). When your own mechanic, a genius in business for decades who I would trust with my life, says to give up on the truck, you give up on the truck. I was so mad at it at the end, I'd have loved to see you trash it. Don't worry about the "holier than thous" griping about what you did. I get it. Enjoyed the whole video. Thanks!
The new stuff has problems due to over engineering and electronics. You don’t have those problems with old manual stuff. Still sucks.
Yea I don’t really care what people think, that truck was a pile of junk and not worth fixing. Plus I had fun
That really needs sprockets, too !!!
There's no way I'm buying an F-150 now. If it can't properly hold a small excavator, it's a pass.
I agree with you. It broke in half under that little bit of stress. Not the right truck
Wow I thought I was the only person that owned one of those old mini excavators. I think it was made in Italy 🇮🇹👍
Me too lol
Good morning and hello Max
Glad to see another cabin video!
My grandson loves watching you on your digger, he says you have alot of cool equipment!😊
Omg you destroyed that F150🤣🤣🤣
I like how you repainted the digger! It looks pretty good now! You are really handy at taking things apart and fixing them! Awesome
That poor truck😂😅
In other words, Mr Green has seen better days, right???
That’s an understatement
Impromptu collaboration with whistlin diesel rippin trucks apart with a mini-loader
Also someone paid money to add more obstacles into their yard to mow/trim around, Crazy.
They did it to make less to mow and it would be easier to mow around
When you first started loading that into the truck, I thought, "no way in hell." You exceeded my expectations!
I always try to exceed expectations lol
Why did you destroy the F-150? Then fix up the old excavator? I wish you would explain.
The truck is far beyond junk
Boys and their toys, LOL Love the Craig rebuild👍🏻Nice work on the rocks.
We only need one whistlen diesel 😂
Nice video, not a bad looking machine. I m working on a video of the caterpillar 303 I bought cheap and put a new motor in and a bunch of other work. Love having a mini excavator now
Maybe I missed it, but what was the reasoning for the second excavator? Your little Diggit seemed to be very effective? Just needed someone bigger? More power? From what I can see the Diggit could have handled the holes for the rocks?
Cool videos....good job.
Yea the other one works fine but I wanted another one that was a little bigger. Actually I want like 4 more
stability tip blade should be inline with the dig and planted on the ground
Someone somewhere probably would have been thrilled with that truck! AND you scraped it!
Who cares. It’s his truck to do what he pleases with.
@@frankadam02 sounds to me like you've been bottle fed all your life. There's people that could really use anything that runs or needs mabe a little work. At one time I was that person. I got off the bottle as a teenager. School of hard knocks for me. So be kind and generous to others that may use it.
@@stewartburks868 buddy i doubt he’s gonna destroy something that needs a little bit of work. As you can see he works on all his stuff so doubt the truck was repairable. Bottle Fed? Brother i grew up poor and get up daily bust my ass to provide for me and my family. From the sounds of it you should probably stay off the internet with your fragile feelings. You sound like a liberal to me seeking a handout. Sounds like you got soft hands from the school of hard knocks lol.
It would be unethical to give that truck to someone for free
Why would you do that to that truck
Besides pushing dirt around, the blade is the functional equivalent of outriggers on a backhoe. Point the blade at the hole you're digging and then lower it until it begins lifting the track. Now most of the force of digging is going through the blade, which is made of heavy steel, and not the tracks, which are made of rubber.
Even I coulda' told you THAT wasn't gonna work. Maybe try an F-250 next time. 😉
I know where I can find one of those 😊
Oh man those rocks were looking pretty good and then they butchered it with cheap edging and that dark mulch.
Every single digger that’s used has absolutely shagged idlers and rollers and tracks
I love your videos man. What do you do for work? Or is it doing youtube?
I saw this tipped over truck in a previous video and was like "what the...?" Now I know. Pfft!!! :O
Change the title from "destroyed" to "expedited recycling of"
Enjoying all your videos, keep em coming.
That’s funny, good idea lol
Have you ever watched Andrew camarata TH-cam channel before? Those are basically pretty much the same set-up as yours. You just half to check and measure the size and Gap distance between the stud bolts for the ⚙️ and track rollers is all.
That’s what I want to do to a ford when I see the P0455 evap code.
Good job with this rocks. Well mulched and watered they should grow and provide beauty and shade for years to come.
I guess it was parked in the foreman's spot one too many times.
Bottom rollers on right are down to running on the track?? 👍👍🇬🇧🇬🇧
don't tell me u fucked up the pick up truck for views
No it’s heading to the junk yard anyway
I watched to see it get destroyed.
Good help is hard to find hopefully you take care of your friend
time to start diggin for gold in them hills,not sure why you would kill a truck
Stop whining dude😊 U dont know what was wrong with that pile anyway, u shuld go to all the junkyards and buy all the trucks you find🙂
@@turji get a life
@@iscariotproject Good comeback, u talk like u are 16.
@@turji get...a......life
That was pretty neat 😎. Thanks for sharing 😊.
Very nice job or the rocks, they looked amazing!! All in all I think you got a decent deal, but then again, you didn't say how much you've poured into since getting it either...lol
23:00 Step drill son. Step drill. You're gonna break your wrists with a regular drill bit.
“Oversized Mexican Dragline” Buy a older loader backhoe then you will have something you can get something done in a timely manner. A whole lot easier and safer.
Loader backhoes are clumsy. They wouldn’t replace an excavator of any size in my opinion
All I want for Christmas is My two front teeth haha.
Why does the thumbnail for the video look like a truck made of cake? Am I crazy? Lol
430 am in Sc. Good job
So how many people are actually butt hurt about the destruction of that F-150?
It seems like a lot of them…I hope they are able to sleep tonight lol
Check out Vevor they have different sizes of weld on thumbs manual and hydraulic cheap prices .
Yea usually that cheap stuff lasts about 30 seconds.
The excavator did good, that's the way to do it, new equipment is nice but high payments aren't, great video as always!
Thank you
Could have sold for parts .. now just scrap metal!
Nice small bucket!
You are supposed to have one over the boom or bucket.
All these people complaining about him destroying the truck make me laugh. I've been watching long enough to know that he's fixed, what I'd call, some of the most questionable things. Things I wouldn't give a second look at, nor would I even try to repair. And they work. So when I see him rip and tear that truck apart like the Doomslayer, I know it is BEYOND repair or not worth it. Plus, on a side note: He's asserting dominance over the other vehicles in the area that might even be thinking about breaking down.
This is the comment that wins the internet thus far today. I had to assert dominance over the other vehicles lol
This guy gets it
amazing :)
😅 I cringed when you destroyed that F150 but totally understand why you did it. Your equipment fleet is impressive.
It’s coming along. Still more equipment to add tho
It's never easy is it Kid :) But you seem to get'er done.
It's only a ford. I had two of them and would volunteer my pickups for this.
Man, He really hates that car huh? 😂
What did that F150 ever do to 99 Projects?
Someone was watching a few camarata videos 😂
Nice excavator man ! 😂
I believe that green clay is called MARL, or at least closely related.
Dats genius bawss you could have sold the truck or parted it out
Nope
BUILT FORD TUFF LOL
Why the hell did u team up that nice truck?
It’s not nice lol
Oh my gosh why u smash truck👀👀 good video guys 💙💙✌️🐕
yayayayaya new vid love it
Wow I could use the passenger rear view mirror cap!!!
It’s for sale
As a chevy guy I approve this video…😂
Wood burning time
What did that poor truck do to you?
It caused me an disturbing amount of grief and aggravation
Didnt youjust buy an excavator a short while ago, used on your cabin project?
Yes
@@99Projects I realize that that was a much smaller machine. Thank you for your videos.
Great REbuild.. people just give up.. Nice.
Are you practicing for the circus ? 🎉
What happened to your Chinese mini excavator?
I still have it
I enjoy your videos, although the question is do you live in your coveralls??? LOL!!!
No lol i only wore them one time in the video
I love to see Fords...smashed!!!
Wow use that clay for your horseshoe pits ! 😂
What are the specs on the machine? I swear you can’t find a machine around where I live that isn’t overpriced. Everyone thinks they have gold.
Steel tracks are much easier to get off!
It's a good video to be popular
That's the only proper use of a Ford pickup unless it has a 7.3 diesel or an inline 6 300.
