I am a 70 year old woman that would have loved to do what you do. I came across you video by pure chance, I have spent the last week between my daily routines watching all the videos on you tube of yours. Sir I am impressed by your work ethic and determination,your parents and family must be very proud of you. Thanks for the great views of the area you live in and the most especially the determination to have the equipment that fits your needs. Your explanation of what you’re going to do along with let’s just see how it works is inspirational. Thank you for making old lady happy 😂😂. What do I do now I finished them???😊😊😊😊😊
@@clypeum5063 Yeah, I remember seeing the auto track tensioning system in a previous video (where the steel track gets changed out for a rubber one), and thought "Man, why don't all diggers do this?" Saves so much time and mess not having to re-tension with grease...)
@@DuncanAitken so far ive only seen takeuchis of 7 ton and more having that. It is ideal with steel tracks. It is not really needed with rubber tracks. Nice thing is an over tention spring is not needed. Downside, if you have a broken hose from the tentioner you will only see that when your hydraulic tank is empty
An hour ago! The Algorithm introduced me to you when you were blasting the rock in the culvert ditch and I've really been enjoying your other videos and getting to see much different equipment than we have here (at least that I've seen on RU-vid). Would LOVE to see some side-by-side footage of your hands while you're doing interesting maneuvers with the swivel joint (e.g. 19:44). You make it look completely effortless! Much love from the US!
Hedblom, another really great Swedish operator, has a video on his channel where he shows off the controls while operating a tilt-rotator. I can't link to it as RU-vid will flag my comment as spam but you should be able to find it.
The Algorithm picked this up for me too. US redneck dude with Swedish connections. The Scandinavian Volvo and MAN truck setups are perfect for the Appalachian mountains here.
My wife asked me why a watched this video. I said 1 excavators are cool 2 its allways nice to watch skilled people at work and 3 its educational… 👍 Based on the vds this guy is basicaly living my dream 😂👍 (i could mention that the fact that he’s scandinavian helps a lot too) Keep em coming! Only thing missing is Johnny’s Senap..brings bonfire-saussages to next level 🔥💪👍 I watched you sitting in «lingon-heaven» and hoped you would mention then…and then volaaa 👍👍
Greetings from the States. New subscriber after a YT suggestion based on Jesse Muller’s channel… I love what I’ve seen so far! You do incredible work and are a master with that machine. Your videos are expertly shot and edited, too. Fantastic work, my friend.
Maybe your Great Great Grandfather put that old sewer pipe in there in the late 1800's and now in 2023 you replaced it. How nice is that? I can smell that water in my nose just by looking at it's color. Remember how you said last year you were going to repair your well pump before it got cold again? Looking at that sky and seeing the trees blowing maybe that should be your next video? Thanks again for all the great video shots and good work from Texas!
seeing your videos makes me want to come to sweden. the accents, the forest, the snow in many of your videos, it makes me want to come and visit during the fall/winter months.
Sitting here watching with a drink of switchel -- water, apple cider vinegar, ground ginger, lemon juice, ice, and .... a little lingonberry concentrate. I'd love to try them fresh from the bush, regardless of bitterness. 🙃
I love the finishing touches: the gravel for strength and durability, and the big flat rock to prevent erosion at the exit of the pipe. And the precision of the whole operation. Well done!
Very cool. Enjoy watching the planning, work and beautiful scenery. Your lunch looked good to. It’s something about cooking a meal in the field that just makes it taste that much better.
That old truck of yours, the MAN I think it is... looks like a surplus german fire department truck. There's a german sticker visible inside the window, in view of the driver. It basically warns to still be careful at red lights despite having lights and sirens on. Cool little detail.
Brilliant video. Just before you lit the fire I said to myself "I wonder if he actually owns a Trangia?" Nice to see others enjoy camp cooking and the basic skills of lighting a fire
tilt rotater or tiltrotor is the name cost about $60,000AUD in australia for 5 ton with grippers, dual quick hitch, MIG2 joysticks, buckets etc. etc. 28k for the tiltrotor but +32-40k for complete working setup+ some extras
Might try rubbing some bar soap (Ivory works well as it is pure soap) on the outside of your kettle. Makes washing the char off much, much easier come clean up.
UMBRELLA CORPORATION "Our business is life itself". You are so clever: "Obedience Breeds Discipline, Discipline Breeds Unity, Unity Breeds Power, Power is Life" and "Our Business Is Life Itself", revealing the connection in the two slogans. I see from your past videos that your truck is powerful. 👌😊👍 edit: PARAPLY CORPORATION "Vår verksamhet är livet självt". Du är så smart: "Lydnad föder disciplin, disciplin föder enhet, enhet föder makt, makt är liv" och "Vår verksamhet är livet självt", avslöjar sambandet i de två slagorden. Jag ser från dina tidigare videor att din lastbil är kraftfull.
This is one of the most beautiful Scandinavian countries in the world"Sweden" .Country of the purest/ freshest water& air, country of over 22000 pure lakes,also has the best durable heavy industries&manufactures like VOLVO&SAAB,country where i lived before I moved to USA.❤❤❤
Cool truck and excavator! all in a day's work, for the Viking. This is what I imagine a Swede doing, or because I play hockey, I think of the Swedish Elite League and the NHL, which is rife with Swedes. RIP to this man, Lars Hedlund, was a former strongman and powerlifter from Sweden, I saw him compete as a kid.
So glad there’s still parts of the world where you can just fix a problem without people yelling about how and why you did it. If you were in the US you’d have the EPA, tree huggers and your entire local government on you about permits, drainage blueprints, civil engineering reports and evaluation, protected wildlife and native plants studies and reports and then you’d have to buy several thousands of dollars in permits.
Most people hire a job like this out. So much fun to follow you along. Greetings from New York!!!! Maybe a crusher is in the bear future!! You are right, the finer stone would most definitely solidify the road. Besides that you are a master of your craft once again. I hope you are liking the new truck. In the military we had 3 stage "hook" arms. We could load at much less angle and keep the equipment as low as possible. Awesome to see another version at work.
I’m a Fan of the Rotator Platform on the Business End, never been on One but Fancy the Thought for Sure. Appreciate you having us along, I’ll catch you on the next one. Keep it Safe Out There Sir
At 27:40, there is a red old Mercedes in the background. Is it saved from the supporting life from the stonecrusher belt....? And tanks for another very entertaining video. Great editing, and a lot of nice angels/filming angles.
Love the rotating scoop and the precision handling, makes things so much easier. States here too, some of our excavators here, need to learn from you 👍
G'day mate. It's amazing watching you throw that machine around it seems like the boom and bucket are an extension of your own hands. A very competent operator.
