Great video! Looking to get into construction and ultimately operating. Hearing you talk about your past experience and knowledge is awesome to know. Always been interested in machines from a young age. Great to get a view into the world.
For some reason the 4K and HD take a lot longer to process and I haven't figured out how to make sure the video waits to be published until said video quality is ready. The video resolution will be in 4K as soon as it's done processing sorry for the bad quality for now!
I could be wrong about this, but when i was reading up on our new 972m (which we mainly use for snow removal) I rember there being a way that you could record the truck loads and then enter in the scale house numbers for the associated trucks and the computer would use that data to help calibrate the loader scales. Might be something worth looking into if you havent already.
@@riddick46 Yes sir you are 100% correct, I did that for about the first 8 weeks about 2 times a week I would do this for every truck load and painstakingly change all the values in the scale manually for better accuracy. If you’re smooth and get a bucket the scales are within 200lbs. But there are so many variables that factor in it’s easy to throw off the weight by 800-1000.
@Krutan_the_Loader_Man That makes sense, sounds like a skilled operator such as yourself is better off just making those calibration in your head. We're finally getting to move some actual dirt with our 972. The main reason we bought that loader is to carry around a 650hp, 18,500lb snowblower. It still almost to small for that. We also got an 18yrd bucket for hauling snow. Thats like driving around with a wall in front of you, you just gotta hope nobody tries to get in your way.
Ya it’s not a very good load and carry machine. The WA-500 we got is better but it’s an older model and the ride control doesn’t work well. Feels like I can’t win lol with the cat I couldn’t carry as much but the ride control was smooth and with the WA-500 I can carry more but as rough as the ride is I’m spilling more.
They have a 982M but they wont bring it to me, I like the 972M for a lot of different reasons but its not a very good load and carry machine. Which is unfortunate because load and carry is primarily what I do all day, I need a larger bucket that would make my job so much easier!
No I haven’t told them, a couple of my co-workers know about the videos but I’m hesitant to tell my foreman. Sometimes in life it’s better to ask for forgiveness than ask for permission 😂 I usually try to make my videos when the rest of the crew are busy or I’m the only working at the mine.
