You were lucky in this spot Chris, to have that 'clean', dry soil to move,....Makes it easier on the equipment I would think. I could watch this video a lot longer ... Cheers
Good operating buddy .. Doing grade and loading trucks from eastcoast canada ! Ps: you should beep while dropping your last bucket by the time your dropping your bucket hes releasing air break and putting it in gear so you gain time ;) !!
Nice action Chris loading the trucks with the Volvo excavator, you have already sold the Link Belt excavator i read in the comments You can't load to heavy, it damagd the roads 😊👍
Typical residential pavement is that thick in areas that I've lived in across the US, but in the colder climates (upper Midwest) it just doesn't last at all and is prone to the pot hole syndrome. Heavy industrial traffic on it just devours it with cracks and splits. :-(
So where is yall's outfit looking to head in the future? Looking at any new equipment or are you just going to roll with what you have for a while ? PS. love to see a walk around of that ford crew/service truck Great job, keep it up.
They are used to distribute the weight per axle. The truck would be overweight per axle without them when fully loaded. The operator can bring them up and down as needed (operated by air) to save on wear on tires and to help with turning. Normally the driver would have them up when empty or down when fully loaded to comply with weight laws. Driver can also lift them up when loaded the help with tight turns as having them down increases the turning radius. They have nothing at all to do with speed bumps as previously mentioned.
mr dig you seem to have a lot of knowledge about these shovels you operate , I was told that the cat 330 excavator has heat and a c . do most shovels that size have that? I enjoy watching you .your living the American dream . I love when your knocking down a house. thanks.
You did your share of complaining about the maneuvering skills of the drivers. Just so you are aware, those drivers were complaining about your crappy loading skills, as they are the ones with dirt and rocks on the outside of their truck bodies.
I was hoping someone was paying attention to that, he's a good operator but if I heard you talking shit about my driving after you spilled crap down the sides and back of my box id be sure to take my time getting rounds in!
