A couple people wanted a video from outside the machine so here you are! This is the very last of the bench, I'm cutting my way backwards off the slope which is why I'm on a bit of an angle.
@harryps3 Just you, they lined up with the bucket first then turned under bucket to get square with slope and get as close as possible without lifting one side of the truck up.
We have a street/cub/sidewalk crew that has a couple 613 paddleboat scrapers if that counts =p Or our 320CR with a wrist for cutting the liner key in the ponds. Other than that we have one 330 and one 350 JD, everything else is big.
No that just means that the engine got more fuel then it could burn. This happens when an engine is at low RPM and then loads up or accelerates. The fuel will increase first and then the turbo (powered by exhaust pressure) spins up forcing more air into the intake allowing the engine to burn clean again.
Why do you get so much hate on these videos? All you are doing is loading some dirt n that into a truck. How can someone find something to moan about on this? hahah Good videos man anyways :)
The first truck seems to be struggling a bit in the mud. Rely like to Se the work you are doing in your vids because some are a lot different from the methods used here. And the comments lol we Work in allot steeper angels some times. Keep them coming ;)
You know, I think we can disregard that dude Jasons comments. I just clicked on his name, and got a list of videos where his comments are derogatory of just everyone and everything. Just one of those guys. Doesn't have any significance in this world.
@arielleneful Why yes, I am a real operator. Part of that is knowing where the machines center of gravity is. With the travel motors up hill, the boom and stick, plus weight of full bucket the only direction that machine could tip is up the slope. That is unless I went to full boom up and stopped rapidly. You can roll a machine on flat ground if you don't understand it's limits. No danger here!
@specialks1953 If your lookin for me (Burnout) in a video... look for the orange fat guy. I wear orange safety shirts. Because I comply with ALL safety standards 110% of the time, when I feel like it.
C is the model generation (A, B, C, D etc) and the L stands for the Long carriage option (there is a long and short set of tracks available). Powerstripe is just a paint and decal scheme they changed to in the later build years. Black cylinders and hand rails and the orange stripe by the model number.
It would have taken a lot of time to level. Fixing the bench, and keeping the trucks waiting. I mean, if you can load like that then it's all fine! Don't listen to those "armchair operators". Been watching your videos, you seem to be a pretty good operator.
Well there ARE a couple little dings because when we float the machine the counterweight comes off and has to go paint down on the truck =/ You'll see in my next video.
@HomebrewCigarsmoker Well I've done 45 centimeters of cut coring streets while loading these trucks. The trucks show up on site paired with the hoe and you do whatever needs to be done with them. The trucks were driving on the bench then it was to be dozed but when it was time to do it the dozer wasn't available. I sat on angle to get my bucket on a lean so I could pull a nice slope without having to swing 180 to the trucks, does that help?
@HomebrewCigarsmoker Such as? You are making too many assumptions. I probably already debated over everything you can tell me on how I could load out this dirt in the video. You don't know why I'm digging the way I am, you don't know how much cut there is or where. You don't even know why I'm moving the dirt in the first place! I'll leave you with two things. First, if you think you have a better way to do it, leave a comment. Second if you think you can do it better..make a vid. I'll watch it!
@HomebrewCigarsmoker I don't see any tips I just see you saying you can tell me something I probably already know. Feel free to comment any way you like because I'm always down for seeing how other people do things.
Are you even watching the right video? Lots of dirt touching the shiny thing on the front, no dirt touching the shiny thing on the back. If you are referring to the mark that is courtesy of the mechanic and truck driver (not entirely sure which one) when they had it off the machine and on the ground ready for transportation. I usually help break down the machine and load it myself but I had to go to another job to replace someone when it happened.
@dozerman8114 Try reading the description mate. The only other way to reach the truck and the dirt is to make the truck fly or drive it backwards up the slope.
@specialks1953 Burnout is much...bigger boned...and looks mexican. That should help you figure out who's vid it it. Also I don't run loaders of any sort.
@anewbeggining21 Well since you ideally want to 3 or 4 pass a truck a larger class excavator would be better, but we mix trucks a lot (769s ant 740s) so the 385 works great for us.
1) subdivisions generally have residential streets 2) this is not a subdivision 3) we have done lots of water/sewer replacement as well as new installation. Big fucking deal it's still just a hole in the ground that you stick shit in.
Just don't boom up and stop quickly, (watch where you transfer your momentum) and keep your bucket low. No real issues. If you watch again I have hung my idlers over the edge so when the weight comes back I have a large surface area on the track to hold it. When I reach forward that's when the machine tips, but all the weight is forward so it's ok.
Well didn't HAVE too... and that's enough out of you two about my front window. The wiper streaks it ONE day and I hear about it for a week =p Just for that I'm gonna hold on to your goodie package for a bit longer haha.
Safety, you pick up lights coming at you in your mirrors faster than just a yellow machine. You'll have to wait for my latest video (it's just finishing processing) to find out =)
@vantagetes Wouldn't it be better if they could just turn then swing it back in one motion instead of going left then right then left. Like at 4:12 you have to move the bucket to compensate for the truck not lining up right.
I'm talking reconstruction hoss, we do renewal work all the time. Because of the depth of some of our sanitary sewers we need the digging depth a 385 offers us. That's why our hoe's are setup with the 8m boom and the 4.4m stick so that it will still curl up tight enough to swing on a residential street. I have an idea since you like to run your mouth. Pick up a camera and show us your skill. Let me guess you have a great reason of why you can't....well it's time to put up or shut up chief.
As I've said...show us your skill. Or your welcome to have a nice tall glass of shut the fuck up. Since you're obviously so full of shit you can't even see it.
You should have seen our WAM job last year. We had over 100 pieces on one site. 2x 385s, 850, 375 and a 345 plus trucks, 657s, a fleet of 651s, a fleet of 631s, plus D10s all over the place, 3x 16H graders, a couple water buffs and packers etc.
@dirt king Great, waste time fucking around with your bench while I keep moving dirt. I'm tired of dumbasses thinking you have to be level all the time. That and I'm cutting the end of the bench out as I'm finished the slope...
Indeed- nice maschines and super operators- professionals of course! Your cat is looking very new, nice, wide tracks and no scratches. Automatic greasing , i guess- right ? Take care
man, just reading all of your posts and replies, you sound just like me, spotless cab, experienced, videos and whatnot, you obviously have a passion for this stuff as I do Great work man.
man i admire you soo much i am trucker in germany and in a few month i apply for an job in an big demolition company that i can work together with excavators. Enjoy this great job...
hey advantage i just love watchin yr vids spiriited comments on them all make laugh so much and you writing half a page to defend yersel just brightens up my day so much, keep it up planty
That Jason meida is good at running that mouth probably never has ran an excavator,he's one of those people that knows everything cause he lives in his moms basement watching RU-vid all day telling everybody they suck when he most likely does not have a job.the guy in this video is a pretty darn good operator.
What do the designations of the model mean. ie C L and powerstripe ? thanks for the great video, good to know if I had to go back and operate equipment again that not everyone is a bonehead and there can be a lot of thought and technique to it
Great job man, I love all your videos so far. I've always wondered what kind of weird or odd things do you guys find in all that dirt. What's the strangest thing you've ever dug up?
My stupid foreman dosent want me to load truck like that... that pisses me off he think an excavator always have to be level what a jerk....................
