Chucke2009

[Mark @ Everlast]

As someone affiliated with the company that has had a relationship with ChuckE, I too am baffled and disappointed. His post was more of a rage than a reason. He quoted distorted or out of context "facts" and made off the wall assumptions and conclusions imho. We are still evaluating our official response. But with the founder of our company being an immigrant forced to flee persecution, it would be ludicrous to believe that Everlast supports this kind of statement. He has obviously had others in on his show too, including HTP, Miller, Hypertherm, et al. Seems like he has burned some bridges. Though there is no excuse for it, I truly hope what was said was a product of youthful ignorance and brashness. Though not in this stream of thought, I can say my thoughts have changed over the year on various subjects as age has set in. Something I hope he learns to regret. Yes, freedom of speech is important, but so is freedom of association, and people can choose to listen and respond as they deem appropriate. My view and thoughts are much different than his I can assure you. My views of the world greatly changed the summer of my 21st birhday when I spent a month solo in the African bush on an Agricultural mission project.

Reminds of when I was in college and worked for Lowe's part time. The local grand dragon of the KKK was a roofer. He'd come in occasionally. Paradoxically His reputation was of being a good roofer, going so far as to go around on his hands and knees picking up loose nails and screws, and protecting shrubbery from damage etc. But we had to wait on him as any other customer. He made some racist comment toward a fellow worker that was waiting on him and I told him he (the employee) was the hardest worker we had...which was the truth. The fellow employee did a stand up thing though. He told me that he'd wait on him just like any other customer and was in the middle of pulling down sheathing for him with the fork lift from the top bunk. The guy (employee) was a fire fighter part time and he really made an impression on me as being a model of what is RIGHT in America. The customer was a prime example of what is wrong...but is tolerated because of our beliefs and ideals.

I too have been a long time subscriber to Chuck-e. I was taken aback the first time he began including his hateful content on the side.

I really misjudged this guy, I do not want to live in his world, I prefer a kinder and gentler version of life.

I really enjoy his tractor videos, and would miss them, but if he continues with the red pills, I will unsubscribe.

I quit watching him when it became very obvious he did not read the comments. What good does it do to post and rant about how Allis Chalmers had such a horrible design on the snap coupler system on the WD45 and go on and on about how difficult it is to work on it when you (a) don't find a book and read how to do something (b) tear into something when you don't have a clue how it works and try to make it into something it isn't and (c) won't read the comments, which were full of valuable info that was the correct way to fix it and (d) then rant about what a piece of junk it is and try to build it better (e) and lastly blame everything on a shoddy dealer.

I use that as an example because that's what almost all his farm videos were and became, he just came off to me as a tad arrogant and there are more informative people out there with less drama, but yes some of his earlier welding videos did show poorer mans ways of doing things.

Poor feller hope one day stretch will mature faster then I did......took me decades.....a work in progress....but ol stretch quit reading his comments and many had good advice. Course gottah filter out the jack wagon but every video has those folks anyways.
Watched him plow a field for hay, never came back to break up the huge dirt clobs just seeded right off.
The commentary was hilarious about future bailer repair videos after first cut and baling of the year.
But thanks for the link to another welding channel, which was the draw for me anyways.
I wish him well but I unscribbled (his words lol) months ago.......
Let's wish him well as we also move along.....

I've thought he was an idiot for years. I'm not surprised that he said something stupid.

I've always wished him well regardless though, but sounds like I wouldn't now if I saw the video.

Andrew Carmata is by far the best youtuber...

The guy can do anything with equipment.

Am I the only guy that wonders how Carmata keeps that Dodge on the road? That rust bucket is held together with sheet rock screws, wire and duct tape yet still gives him aother season of hard snow plowing.
Ever watch him paint over rust on that truck and then just keep going.

No, I'm mystified myself, RAM should look him up. I also can't believe he overloads that 2500 with those excavators either. I can tell you this, after watching Carmata's videos (and he is creative and amazing) along with South Main Auto, I wouldn't live in upstate New York. They must put down ton after ton of salt.

I couldn't take his videos anymore, once he started to destroy hay fields I unsubscribed. His buddy Steve is starting to irk me as well

 

[Locoweed]

His collection of equipment is getting better, but still reminds me of the name of a former member, Farms With Junk

I watched Chuck’s videos pretty much from the start. Once he started acting like a white supremist, I unsubscribed. I hope YouTube cancels his channel.
