The US use metric ton, majority just don't know for what. For example boat, even the military one, are weight using the metric ton. I dunno about plane but I presume it's the same thing, especially if they fly international(outside of US). Grain(farm), for international commerce when shipped are weight using the metric ton also.
@@Potoum The military uses metric for NATO. The international flying community uses US standard units although for weight that is probably company specific so there will be both used. Only china and russia use meters instead of feet.
The haul trucks on site we operated in the quarry were loaded to the gills. No one worried about the weight. Load it until it's running over the sides and go.
You two looked like you were having loads of fun. Earlier today I was thinking about the simulation you & Kyle did at the Expo you went to and now you've just sealed that you are the best!🤣Thanks for sharing, Chris.
Thanks for taking us along bro it was very entertaining guys, thanks must go to Volvo for letting you and Mike loose on the new machinery. Safe travels
A short ton is less than a (long or UK) ton or a metric tonne. UK ton is 2240 lbs because we have 112lbs to a hundredweight. American weights come up short just like the gallon is less than UK because we have 20 fl oz to a pint vs 16.
The 180s are a good thing, but man, have I spent some hours in L120Fs 😁👌 Our mining company has them in our fleet all over Australia, carrying man-baskets, for jib work, forks and bucket work. They are an amazingly reliable piece of gear 👌
The real reliability depends on the operators. We have 5 L220s, and some had a rough life because of the negligence of the operators.:(( Fun little machines, but I prefer the 350 and the 🐱 988, because they are a lot more stable thus provide a better ride on our awful roads at our asphalt recycling plant.
HAHAHA, not quite fair to Mike since Chris could see what needed to be done to fill the truck more than Mike did. BUT, when Chris filled the truck he had more spillage than Mike did by far and if they had to take it down the road there would be quite a mess for sure. Lots of fun watching you two working and having fun together. Thanks for taking us along! J.R.
These Chris vs Mike videos always make me smile, because Mike is ultra competitive, but Chris is always the man with a plan. He knows how he is going to maximise the load before he climbs in the loader. I can remember Chris saying in previous videos that he loads from the back, because that creates a barrier to hold more load dumped in the front. This looked to be what was happening till we saw the other angle from the top of the heap, which appeared to show some space at the front, but it was still a lot less space than Mike left. The equipment was super impressive, and I would say Volvo will be happy because a lot of operators must watch Chris and Mike's channels.
You two are awesome. Makes my day when you make videos together. It's always nice to see friends having a good time. Specifically after all the hard work you guys do.
All the new fancy stuffs nice but I seen u guys do without scales grade devices etc. Plus all that stuffs gonna break over time which makes repairs outrageous for the owners
Spade nosed buckets have been around for decades, most spade nosed buckets are used in mining applications or hard aggregate pits and are usually a toothed bucket and on bigger machines like 988 Cat sized and larger loaders generally speaking.
Chris any one that watches you knows a dump truck or a haul truck is going to get loaded to the max cause it’s not leaving without a full load 👍👍👍👍👍👍🤣😂
My life is complete, I now know what a short ton is! 😀 I've heard of the blue man crew, but thank you yellow men crew!. Psst we saw the spilled gravel! 😉
That all we run at my work, Volvo 150s. Man, they are a work of art. Perfect tool for doing underground utilities. I have lifted manhole bases weighing over 10tons (very slowly and carefully) across jobsite without any issues
Hello there Chris 🚧🔥🚧. Hi there Mike ⚠ 🚚🔨 ⚠. Wheel loaders are a bit tricky, especially with such a pointed bucket. When I ran wheel loaders in the 70s, we called these pointed buckets: Finnish buckets.
WELL..., there are no longer two, but THREE absolutes in life: Death, taxes, and a good time had by all, any time Mike and Chris get together!! I gotta say one thing, Chris, the next time I'm getting a load of - whatever - I want YOU operating the loader!! Only then will I know I'm getting my money's worth.....
