Seth all I have to say is always always always wear your seatbelt! I unfortunately saw a man using a seam roller. He turned on a hill that he had turned on many times but this one was just a bit different in some way and it rolled the roller. The safety cage that was supposed to save him in a roll killed him instantly. He was throw from the seat landed face first and the cage came down on his neck. If he had seat belt on he would have been fine as the cage did not even deform.

@perzyvalsimmons5946 2 года назад

I totally agree and feel sorry for you that you had to witness this terrible accident. I fear that this will one day happen to one of my colleagues too. The dont work with excavators but with forklifts, the danger ist the same. The seat belt buckle is equiped with a sensor that checks if the are using it but what they do is sitting on their seatbelt. A few dass ago one of the forklifts was almost tilted by a reversing truck, nothing changed.

Also yea seatbelts are a must they saved me and my whole family of 6 in Colorado when our breaks went out on a mountain and we fell 300 ft some how we all liked w scrape bruises and scars for some and a few broken bones for others. All I’m saying is we probably wouldn’t be alive if it wasn’t for seatbelts (also please if you want to get a Polaris side by side it won’t have a emergency brake or any other form of breaking then the normal brake so just be careful)

As an equipment guy I would have gone for the 308 but congrats man. And you are likely right about the state of the dollar. And by the way when you were climbing the ledge and pushing yourself up with the stick that was great but you couldn’t move the boom without rocking back you should have put the blade down to block yourself up and then reset the boom for another push. It makes sense in my head but it’s hard to describe.

@jean-reneouellet2963 2 года назад

Just a tip for you, when you want to pack in or "polish" the shape you just created, do it by moving the bucket backwards and slightly tilted up so the blade doesn't dig in. That way, it does not mess up the work you did by dragging dirt to the sides. And like other commenters said, while pushing your self up a ledge with the stick, do it with the blade facing down the slope. Then you can use it kind of like a hand brake.

Hey seth sweet machine! im a trail builder from revelstoke. A couple hopefully helpful comments...😅 you called the bucket the blade... the bucket does have a cutting edge on it... the biggest rip i have for ya is when adjust track with you dont need to lift both track of the ground. pit you buck on the ground to one side and lift just the one track of the ground. then while adjusting the track width with push or pull the stick(section the bucket is attached to) in or out as the track width narrows or widens. do it this way can be generally done almost anywhere and doesn't require being on totally flat ground.

Hey man, love your videos! I've been an operator for about 5 years or so, watching you learn is super cool. One thing that would be beneficial to your work, is learning to extend the hoe all the way out and bringing it back level 😉 it'll save ALOT of time, also, when digging/grading etc, put your blade down, it acts as a stabilizer and SAVES YOUR BACK TRUST ME

when doing the inch worm climbing using the lower plow to lock in your location as you use the boom arm to climb prevents you from sliding on those dramatic grades! I don’t know if someone has said this already said this and I want to make it clear I was not “properly trained” in driving these. But I have been around and using machinery like this for the better part of 15 years(since is was about 10)

@kendrickcampbell2922 2 года назад

I know you are just learning, and I don’t mean any disrespect in any way. I am a excavator operator and when you are trying to get up or down things, it’s actually more dangerous to push from behind. Always pull from the front in the Direction you’re going. Also you have 5 to 10x more power up close and pulling to you. One more thing be care full how much you use the tilt on the bucket. But using it, you are putting pressure at a angle on the boom at the joints, so only use it if it’s light dirt you are carving. They will brake a lot easier then you think, and never try to push something with the side of your bucket it dose the same thing but way worse. I hope this helps and if you ever need tips just ask😁. Awsome videos keep it up 👍

Hey Seth, nice little Cat 302! I was watching the video and noticed that the bucket didn’t have any hardfacing welds on it. That basically means someone would weld on the bucket so when you are digging or whatever it will wear down the weld not the bucket itself. If you’re going to be using the bucket a lot you might want to consider it. I used to do it on big skid steer and excavator buckets.

@joecasalena8263 2 года назад

Seth, I would love to here your thoughts on how the smaller rental excavator compares to your new slightly larger one for overall versatility and bench cutting on steep side slopes. Seems like the one positive thing about a smaller track width would reduce the number of trees that need to be removed to fit the trail in but maybe all the other benefits out weigh that.
