Fine job till a hydraulic line blows because I'm sure none of those cylinders have check valves like a lift or bucket truck would have in case of a line failure.
That's a ridiculous thing to do. As an operator of a 325 cat I can tell u we only unload like this if we have no choice. This is just pretending to be an operator and putting urself and those passing cars at risk
Great job showing off, but if he is such a gun operator.?? Why didn't he not take the stress off his drive motor and those tiny little rubber tracks, and bucket steer the turn he did on the way into the driveway. Or should I say the shakey shake,
Its difficult when you have a machine worth $40,000 and you work for a company so cheap they won't even buy a trailer that can unload equipment. Good operator, terrible company.
And I guarantee this guy still has more useful skills than you will ever have with your 6 RU-vid followers in the 10 years you've been "making content"
@@wumbologypatrick You're a 🤡. "Useful skills"?? So if he would've fell into oncoming traffic, would it have been a useful skill? As for my 6 subscribers, I don't make content dummy!! As far as my "useful skills", I don't need RU-vid validation like some people. But go ahead and keep being a comment super hero, it fits you well Eddy
Sketchy as heck. Way easier if he had turned the machine around on the flatbed so he could put the blade on the ground first. I do it all the time. And wear your seatbelt.
I love seeing this method from foreign countries when they’re loading / unloading 20 ton excavators on an off 8-10 ton flatbed trucks and it’s not only bending the bed, but lifting the front of the truck 3-5’ off the ground... all while parked on an incline. 🤣
And we wonder why we have so many dumb rules in the construction industry. Hope he got slapped with a heafty fine. If not keep on doing it he will end up dead yet
Think Float Blade should be first off the truck and lowered all the way down, then flip around with bucket. But truck driver is needed to drive truck away. So I guess this is the only way for a one man show unload.
Dangerous...if a hydraulic line snapps...whaaaaam...broken neck. I can see doing this in an emergency...but ramps or a equipment trailer is a must....I have been in excavating 30 years...I would never allow this as a normal loading procedure. I notice a lot of youtube videos from out side the US do this a lot.
This is how they get rubber-tired backhoes onto the tops of gondolas to unload ties for the railroad. Yes, hydraulic lines break, but usually under a lot more load than this. I’ve had them break on machines with a fully loaded bucket, and right by a truck I was loading. I was lucky. I had just started, so the hydraulic fluid was cold. I got DRENCHED in it. Loaded up, went back to the shop, replaced the line, and had my wife bring me clean clothes. Hydraulic fluid NEVER comes out, so my clothes got tossed into the trash! As far as this loading? I would do it. I know what those things are capable of, and how to keep them out of trouble. This isn’t the worst this machine will be in!
+goodcat1982 if you knew anything about excavators you would know that operating them like that will damage the machine. plus he was lucky he did not have an accident and hurt himself = inexperienced
You must be a RU-vide theres some of us who are You Tubers we're the ones who are proving to the world that anything can be conquered. Leave being brave and adventurous to the rest of us "Wolves"
EVeryone has a beginning,,lol.. He got it off alright so,,,,,,good job! As for the naysayers below even a seasoned operator without being familiar with a piece of machinery would of done about exactly the same...Armchair operators and little else.
Much easier to have a set ramps and safer your life is more important than showing off and your ramps can become very useful on the job people that load there machines this way are adding more unnecessary risk you only have one life
