Caterpillar 924G hard at work on a busy day. POV

Ойын-сауық

Hey how’s it going my names Dave. I’ve been working for my family business since I was 13. I drive a 2006 924G that I’ve had since new. Enjoy an in depth look into the life of a Loader operator. Thanks for tuning in! www.getsoil.com

    its muscle memory and timing. you feel your machine, you know how long it takes your hydraulic decouplers to disengage, your hands know where all the buttons are and how long it takes to lift and lower down to a perfect levelness of the bucket. atleast thats how i am with equipment, even after only using them for a hour after the first time.

    I run a cat 980 and 982. Just got a new john deere 844l. 982 and 844 are both joysticks controls. I thought i would hate it. But i love it. I have too stay in a loader for 12 hr shifts. I work at a big sand mine. Our mine goes way back inside the hill. Under the main highway. Only lights u got are on the loader and big haul trucks. No daylight radios dont work. Because u are under ground that far. We run bigger buckets than factory. That bucket on the 924 looks small.

    @Getsoil i run my blue tooth. Phones won't work underground. I like a cat loader better. Only think sucks about it. U can't get out of the loader. Like other people do. Have to feed a hopper. For 20 minutes, then the line is down for 10 minutes. The john deere burns from 80 to 110 gallons fuel in 12 hrs. Cat doesn't burn that much. I sure like the joystick steering. I like the quick attached bucket set up that you run.

    @ozark_trapper man it’s so frustrating sometimes when you can’t get out. Especially if you have to go to the bathroom. I’m stuck when it’s busy . Sometimes I load a hopper with soil but for the most part I load customers with product. We have 40 different materials so that keeps things interesting. Are you loading in the dark all year around ? Would be tough not seeing the sun
