In this video we set up and use our new Spectra LR 50. Ill take you through my first time setting it up and my real time thoughts on the product. You'll also see it being used in a real life excavating scenario.

    My pleasure! I was really excited to get it out in the field and use it in a real world application. It does have its cons like I mentioned throughout the video, but overall I was pleased with it.

    I have welded a 4 inch stub on my mud bucket then i have a pole that fits over the stub and bolts on and thats what my receiver goes on that way your boom and stick can be in any position and still be accurate. Its doesnt effort loading trucks at all. Great video and good work mate from Australia

    You should Demo an idig system. Keeps grade across the entire range of the stick and bucket rotation. Yes it costs 3x more, but 5x more effective.

    So even if the stick is not plumb, you can still hit your grade, correct? The fast blink green would indicate stick is out but on grade; slow blink green would indicate stick is in but on grade.

  • @dirty.diggers

    @dirty.diggers

    Жыл бұрын

    To hit your grade precisely it should be a solid green line. If it’s blinking it means your not plumb so you won’t get as accurate of a grade level

    Hey there man just wanted your thoughts on the magnetic mast setup? Do you feel like it worked properly and was always secure to the tractor? I was thinking about getting a similar setup and I’m checking on how well and how much bouncing around you think it could take without jarring free from the stick.

    Hey thanks for watching! So far from my experience it has been very stable while digging and shaking out the bucket etc. the magnet is very strong and holds very firmly in place. It’s hard to remove it with all your force, you need to disable the magnet to get it off easy

    Also can the laser receiver read the laser from the back of it so you can still see the receiver if you were dragging away from the laser? Or does the laser always have to be hind you and to the side?

    It does make things a bit more challenging but you want to try and be roughly level in general when digging. But the short answer is no it shouldn’t. The height is based on the boom being plum so that height doesn’t really change even if the machine does a bit
