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.
Bruh you’re so good at your job 😂 I just watched the whole video for no reason on a Saturday evening. You are a beast

What a nice compliment Thankyou ! Most people wouldn’t notice those little details or know how hard it is to keep a yard clean. Always wanted to try out a big Cat the 983 must be a lot of fun.
Impressive. Surprised people don't argue with the loader operators about how much they get like they do with us!

Nice! having someone call out each load speeds things up a lot when you don’t have to communicate with each driver!
Man such a smooth operator he's going for each load that the person is telling him to get for everybody that's getting materials he's dropping one front loader bucket to get another one amazing operator skills

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

@Getsoil no we blast on the surface too. When the line shuts off. Sometimes, there are haul trucks to load. We run big haul trucks. I work at the crusher a lot. It dont shut off in 12 hrs. Fill it up, and u have time to eat. Or goto the bathroom. I like the controls on your cat.

Good evening, very good job. Excuse me, when you load the material, do you use the brake to reduce the effort of the loader arm? If so, does the brake use it completely at 3/4 or 1/2 tread please I will be attentive to your answer

Hello thank you for watching ! When I load material I hold my foot down on the brake and use the accelerator to give the arm more power if that’s what you mean ?

There’s a new hydrostatic system which uses the hydrolock system to shift back and fourth . It takes some getting use to but you can tell it’s a better system overall. It really amazes me how much abuse these machines can take and just keep going !
