Digging out manhole box 

Good man. Keep at it 👍👍

What are they there for

@petesy03 to cause accidents! If you have your hands off the controls cos your using your hands like a proper maggot you have no control of your machine. I work with excavators everyday! The company I work for, have all there machines, delivered with no travel leavers, you have to use your feet in all the company machines! So much better!

Only way mate. Always intended on taking the levers off but I heard it may affect insurance or something like that so never did in the end. They just get in the way most of the time

@irishdiggerman5691 that's exactly it mate, they just get in the way, and they don't encourage people to use their feet, which I think is dangerous to not use your feet! Surely they just unbolt from the pedal? And you can take them off, and put them back on if you need to claim insurance! Lad at work broke his ankle, so they put the leavers back on for him, so he could work, once he got a bit better!

@timfagan816 yeah they do bolt off but on the hitachi you need a to replace the bolt with a shorter 1 i think otherwise it sticks out when lever is removed. Maybe some day

Thats some statement pal 😉 appreciated 👍

Cheers Ryan 🤙🤙

Thanks

Thanks 👍

Thanks 👍

Sorry pal only seeing your message. They just arnt very popular here in Ireland. There is some about but just very few

🤣🤣 don't knock it till you try it 🤷‍♂️🤣

Haha yeah boots are off for me lad. For 2 reasons. Comfort and keeps muck off floor and pedals. There is a sensor behind that yellow box at hitch as well as 1 on dipper and boom and undercarriage. I can have full site plans on that screen with everh level I need for the whole job. It really is brilliant. Obviously I need boys on the ground to help lay the pipes but most other jobs like reducing ground and grading stone etc I can do all on my own.

@irishdiggerman5691 keep the muck outside and keep it clean inside. I say it's handy how it tells you deep your digging a hole.

@michaelsomers6535 that's the plan lad 😉 yeah real handy. Just speeds you up because your not waiting on another man to check levels for ya.

I'll be honest I hate doing it as well. Some times was by accident, I'll admit some times was just to try and clear the clay. Really sticky gear

They send guys back to the hall where I work if they do it more than once

It's an the gps letting me know I'm at the right depth 👍

@@irishdiggerman5691 thanks for the reply and answer

🤣🤣 of I was getting paid by the pipe lad that video would be very different 🤣
