To all the idiotic people on here that can't think to save their lives and think they know everything... The operator wants his guy to stay on the rake and keep leveling the stone. He's not going to straddle the ditch with the truck and repeatedly back the truck to open the hatch. He wants as little damage done to the property because he didn't go there to create all that extra work. He already needed the excavator to dig out the ditch. Less body abuse means better physical labor. Running a rake is easier than going back and forth with a wheelbarrow. The excavator doesn't need to see a chiropractor. The guy on the rake isn't lazy... He's doing what his boss told him to do. His boss. You know... They man running the machine. Soo easy act like you know everything, isn't it. You don't know the conversation that happened before the job was started, but you know everything. "Ignorance is bliss". He's well aware of how far open the gate is every time he dumps. It's sad that it's soo important for you to hate, that you ignore the obvious just see yourself online.
I could see using that to move and set concrete out of a truck, but it does seem like your view is limited of the chute and you have little idea of how far it is open. As for moving gravels, most of my trucks don't have chutes, so being able to scoop directly with the attachment right out of the truck would be crucial.
Where is the dump truck driver? I was think it was rake boy until he broke out the tape measure. Dump truck drivers usually don't care where they dump their loads.
I love how everyone is saying his helper is lazy ok maybe he didn’t open the gate but he is working, his job is to grade the stone, him not grading the stone is the business losing money! It’s most likely the operators job to open the gate! Great use of your equipment! Smart guys !
