i know nothing about this kind of work, but it looks like to me that your a heck of an operator. enjoy your videos very much. thanks for taking the time to make them.
I had a 345 for several years that was great for loading and pulling stumps. I wound up replacing it with a 30 ton machine because it was just too big to easily move around and made a world of a mess if the ground was soft. Plus changing buckets was pretty much out of the question, and it had no thumb. But it was a beast. I have pictures of putting in two 89' rail flatcars across a bayou. That's the only machine I've ever had that would break a 1/2 inch chain.
Huge pit looks like huge development. True homes one I live in Statesville nc has places all over nc and sc. they only half done with ours. But not started next phase.
Good place for a pool... Or a lake stocked with fish... Or build a water skiing competition lake like the one about 30 minute from my place. In the middle of nothing... Pangea Puddle
I ran a 210 last year. It was a nice smooth machine. Only thing i hated was you had to turn it off using a rocker switch else it would started beeping and saying wrong shutdown or something. Lol
I think the case could handle a bigger bucket, considering your filling that bucket with ease and reckon she would still be well balanced which would utilise her power, speed and stability. Less cycles for same material moved equals less wear over the machines lifetime which translates to more $ in you pocket. Just my 2 cents worth.
Jason Shipley alot of seat time,l taught at a training facility 1 out of 20 student's might qualify, it is hard to find experienced operators these days. Spending $20000 dollars in training does not get you a job!
A good operator will always make it look easy. I've been an operator since I was a kid and I've watched many of Chris' videos and can tell that he's a great operator. A lot of his videos show him moving large amounts of dirt. If you watch some where he has to cut grade and use a laser or something, he's still good. Cutting grade is hard to do but it's pretty easy if you're used to it.
Pete P. : yeah I looked at a brand spanking new case 1121F pay loader wich my kubota and case IH dealerwich he's selling them for $66,000 wich good price on huge case pay loaders
Is it I never ran a case I'm not a fan of them , my favorites are volvo and Kobelco been in lots of hoes but not case ,my old boss said they are good.Thats why I asked chris.I think it's kinda funny too
excavator fun case/ linkbelt in my opinion are more superior than cat, more power,faster, better pumps, bigger cab better seats and all around a better machine
