Teaching My Girlfriend How To Run an Excavator 

how did she do for a person that had no idea what it was even called? haha lemme know down below!

Gill is a keeper = Seems incredibly sweet and definitely loves you to give the excavator a try on camera - and she did incredibly well for her first time running the bucket. GirlPower!

Why teach? I took my wife and put her in the excavator and said here ya go. It was a big field and nothing she could hurt. Only thing I showed her was how to shut off if something wild happened. 10 min later she was doing great. 15 more minutes she thought she was a pro. The next day I woke up she wasn’t in bed. I hear something running outside. I look out window and no joke she dug out a swimming pool. This didn’t go as planned ( as some think is a joke. It wasn’t. Her grade wasn’t perfect. But over the years I said it’s a pain to dig it out. I just don’t wanna work and day then come home and work. It was a fluke I had brought the excavator home that weekend to clean up and bring to a new job Monday. I’m still at a loss how she got it off trailer but however she did it) I admit since then I have learned one thing. Woman keep machines/inside much more clean then men.

She is a hottie! She should be hire right on the spot. Beautiful weather, keep the videos coming. Girl power

I think it's awesome that she was willing to run the excavator. My wife would have passed for sure.

This reminds me of the very first time I ran an excavator. I work for my dad, so one day he literally brought out our excavator to an empty field and gave me the keys. All he said is "Have fun and it's time to learn new things". When I first started I was so slow, was literally thinking every step to do through my head before doing it, and was taking the smallest scoops of dirt ever. And even now after 3-4 years of running our excavator, looking back I have improved dramatically. But I am still learning and improving on getting more efficient with running the excavator. But if you get anything out of this is that, don't stop trying or working towards something because it's difficult. Think of it as every day you are jumping over new boundaries to improve and one day you will be running the equipment like a pro.

I think she is smoother than most guys when they started out including me.

she did great, had a girlfriend that i put on a professional zero turn mower and she flipped it on flat ground

Girl power!! For the first time she catch fast the basics. You nailed Gill!! Will be nice to see you again 👍✌ Great vid as always !!!

Girl Power, she did really good for her first time ever running an excavator. She's a keeper, how many girlfriends would even think about the idea of running a piece of equipment, little lonely running it while on camera. Good job Gill!! !

Girl Powered!! The quickness comes with time. Slow is smooth and smooth is fast.

HAD TO WATCH IT A SECOND TIME BECAUSE I WAS LOOKING AT HER THE FIRST TIME LOL . SHE DID GOOD GET HER MORE PRACTICE AND SHE WILL OUT DIG US ALL!!! GIRL POWER

Nice and respectful of you to show your girl the operation of the truck. She did a good job!!!!

Bro, your girl is fiiiiinnnnneeeeee as hell, the simple fact that she was even game to try an learn to operate the excavator says says a lot, especially on camera, an she's giving commentary, man o man! Marry that girl, she's a keeper!

Girl Power baby👉🏼👈🏼 She did great bro! And she’s right, you have come a long way dude! Been here since the beginning and really dig all your content... Godspeed amigo👉🏼👈🏼🇺🇸🇨🇦

Omg DEFINITELY HIRE HER!! She’s a fast learner, a natural!! She would definitely help boost the ratings too 😁😁😁😁😁 We love Gill!!!!! GIRL POWER BABY!!!! 😁😁😁 awesome vid brother

GIRL POWER!! Gill was rock’n it for a first time operator. 👍

You go girl. This video reminds me of my first time running an excavator.

Well done!!The look on your face as you were operating the machine reminded me of the feral look of accomplishment on my wife's face in 1990 as she drove my 500HP W model Kenworth prime mover(tractor) back home through the afternoon traffic after qualifying.

GIRLPOWER JILL!!!!!!!!! She killed it!!!!

Girl power! 👊🏻 she did fantastic! Great job Jill! You should definitely hire her! I’ve got Mrs. Elite in the machines a few times, trying to convince her it’s better than banking! 🤣

I used to haul equipment for a rental company. My wife would love it when I'd bring machines home, for the weekend. Mini excavators were her favorite yard toys.

Not surprised at all how well she did, because that was a really good job. Kudos for really taking it slow and respecting the machine, the earth and the incredible forces at work. I vote for more female operators! And yes she should definitely pick up that skill if she enjoys it. Seemed to come natural for you Gill!

Ok, I'm a girl. I bought my own skid steer and taught myself how to operate it. I love it. Since buying it, men have seen me and put me on other equipment, similar to your cat size ect. he put me in his case on the river bank reaching up the hill about 70' pulling it down to make a road. Butt puckering but I gave it a shot. So what I have to say to you girl u'll get the bug and he won't b able to get u out of it.

Girl Power! She killed it for first time! A natural in front of the camera too i'd say!

Very cool and thought she did well for her first time. Anything new takes time and practice to master. Girl Power

Awesome man! My girl is the same way and she would be up for operating anything I could get her in! Have fun brother! Girl power!

She performs pretty well , btw you guys have a very adorable golden doggy 🤙🏻

Nicely done, Gill certainly could make it as a 360 operator. Girl power 💪🏼

Girl Power!!!! Your doing amazing man I love the content!!!! keep Up the good work!!!!!

Not such a bad dude after about 13 of your videos!! Subscribed great job gill KWC

Good teacher heavy equipment u are and enjoying the face of Gill enyoying the operating of the Komatsu!!! Greetz from The Netherlands good Job!!!

Nobody gets in any machine the first time and instantly becomes a pro. It takes seat time to become an operator and even then there is more to it than just moving dirt. I think she did great, slow steady movements and taking her time to learn the controls. Thumbs up.👍

Really did a good job I just finished my heavy machinery myself so good job!

Great job Dubs!! New career - Excavator by Gill. Girl Power

Awesome video man you got my respect about all the great working women in our country

Best video i've seen in a long time, great editing and music!!

I would definitely hire her!! Jill ran that excavator beautifully!! #Girl Power

For some reason seeing a learner first hand reminds you of the skill necessary to operate large machinery , you forget . Cheers from Aus

Girl power! She did great Taylor!!

Girl power!! You rock the excavator 😀

"I don't even know what this is called, but I really enjoy this one" - Well said. It's a favorite machine for many operators, and for good reason.

First time seeing one of your videos. Love the content, And congrats on the beautiful new employee lol.😉 You have a great relationship.

It’s cool that she’s into it, practice makes perfect I was just as slow when I started now I can load a truck in less than two minutes

well done to you both, i enjoyed this video a lot especially as i am a female wanting to become a heavy machine operator appreciate this

Girl power, love your video's man!!

GIRL POWER! She had potential to be a good shovel operator! She's hella smooth and careful! Hell yeah, girl!

Girl power ! Gill you did a great job you’ll be putting Taylor out of a job soon 🤣

finally, I found a couple's video does a great thing

Girl power! Loved the video

That's a big machine for a first timer, pretty intimidating however she did great and the next she will be that much better! You rock Jill!

Girl power! Great job Gill!

Girl powa! Did better then I could do, hands up!

Cool. Like the way you gave her a chance to get used to the controls at her own pace. She was so game! I wonder though, if after she got an idea of the joysticks, what she could have done if you gave her some pointers on the best way to get a full bucket. She did great. #girlpower

Jill done really well for her first time in a machine of that size. I give it 5 ⭐'s

She did awesome! Girl power! 💪🏻

Girl power. She did great for first time. I remember my first time.

Ken buddy love your videos man love heavy equipment I from Northern Ireland your GF is awesome operator keep making these videos thanks. DJ 👍🏼☺️

Super great first run! A little practice and she'll be smokin good!

Great job for someone who's never touched a 360, I've been driving for 26 years and still love it, just subbed first vid and will stick around. few vid's on my channel of 360 (shovel) work

If she wants to learn, more power to her. Like you said a careful/ cautious operator is good started. Speed will come with experience. # Girl power

Girl power. And she did awesome for her first time!

Girl power. ‘I don’t even know what this is called’. Hahahaha

Girl power! Always badass when a woman is willing to learn how to run some heavy machines! She did pretty damn good compared to a lot of co-workers I've had.

Girl power I think she did fine no one is an expert there first time some equipment is harder than others. Cheers to the lady

GIRL POWER, she sure makes that 170 look good, its nice you begin to teack her now the day might just come when she is the fill in driver/loader, she did great , a 170 normally doesn't run that slow but safety first, thanks to Gill for a new propesective on girl power

Well she's definitely sweet in every way. Serious while operating the machine. I bet she would be determined plenty to become a great help to you. Definitely a keeper. Girl power did good.

Did good....regen beep got her. You are braver than me brother. I sat my girl in my lap to teach her but at the end if the day she was better than most if the boys on my crew.

Yeah with more time in the cab yeah she will pass.. when i had my 1st tome in a bobcat i wasnt use to it and now i love it

Very awesome video Ken 👏👏👏

She did great. I think she should try out the others too. The backhoe, skidstear roller ect!!! Maybe even some snow plowing!!!

Girl power

Girl power. She did great! There is something awesome about woman who operate equipment. Not very common so it’s super cool. You need to keep training her and put her on the payroll😃

girlpower gill you done awesome get some hrs on the excavator you will be on site in no time great video taylor

Yes hire her keep in the family, you go girl power.

Girl power ! Gill did an awesome job

Girl power. She did great for the dirt time. I know mine wouldn't do that. Lucky guy to have a girl like that. Nice job girl.

It was cool to see the perspective on a newbie cause you all make running the machines look easy. go girl power

Wow man I was jealous of you before but now you are the man. You two seem perfect for each other and she did an awesome job. Girl power . Hire her. Lol

Girl power!! She's a team player and a good sport! Hire her!

Girl power! She did great! Teach Al a thing or two eh🤣

Great job!! Girl power!!

i miss running a front end loader your lady did good for the first time in the seat

Good job Jill. Girl power.

Girl power. The best thing I got taught on an excavator was don't think about it but go slow on the controls & it will come to u with out thinking about it. But good job. Keep getting her on it. Maybe through her off an put her in the backhoe on John Deere controls lol

She did awesome! Girl power!

Girl Power !! She is amazing young Lady!!🤟😎🤟

Thanks for kicking Byrd our way. Badass track

Girl power Give Jill a job, she won’t let you down

Girl power! Good video

never drove an excavator, but i drive forklifts and backhoes and she seemed pretty smooth on the controls yea slow but the smoothness is what caught me

Smart move. I couldn't care less about you running the excavator but I would watch her do just about anything. She's a keeper because she is willing to try it. My wife just takes my check when I am done.

She is a keeper!!!

she did great, and she is cute in that rig i think you should hire jill she will get better as time goes on. When i first started digging about 18 years ago i made more of a mess than any digging lol....

awesome job great work!!!

Girl power !! Not bad for her 1st time 👍

She did a great job hire her but don't pay her by the hour lol.

She did alright. I never driven an excavator before but I was at experienced ppls pace at work by the 3rd day. Thanks Call of duty pS4 😂😂

lack of experience didn't prevent her from trying ... did better than most (male or female) for first time so i say excellent! also easy on the eyes and very huggable ... lucky guy

for the first time using this colossos, i like how she perform. if she like it, give her more time to practice, and if she whant it, hire her. cutie and the ferocius metal beast would be making a great impression 4 the company! go girl power ! rock on !
