Dude who taught me to operate machines had me doing this from day one and made me use it constantly making a big deal of it. I've never done it any other way, until I got out on site with other newbies I didn't realise how valuable it was that he had been so strict about it!

That’s it - now I need an excavator!

And I think climbing in and out, greasing/dieseling it up and cleaning the tracks out might be difficult

Don’t know why I need this, but there’s a 0.01% chance I might get a excavator for my birthday!

For newer guys- this is way kinder on the undercarriage than sharp turns without it as a technique. It’s really how you should be doing it always on the bigger machines

I've been practicing this. It's counterintuitive on the turn but works great when done right

My 2 1/2 year GrandBoy absolutely loves heavy equipment. Operators are always amazed at his hand shake & willingness to get it. The other day when an Operator offered him to help he jumped right at it. Left the man speechless. Lots of years ahead, but something is telling me this Lad is going to Wildland FireFighter Equipment Operator. Nothing quite like seeing those D7’s in action with rolling flames 🔥 coming at ‘em.

you loose it a bit and pull out the string, remove the grease tube and put the new one in proper side, put the top back and dont screw it all the way(put it at half so there is stil somel air flow), after that put the string all back in and the last part to tight the top end and youre ready to grease your excevator👍

This is awesome! I’m interested in this position and transitioning from the military using helmets to hard hats, I love heavy machines!

Unless you are running brand new shit you have to be careful & not get your rails off your bottom rollers & throw a track. Easy to do if you don't hear that pop before it jumps off.

Definitely helps!

Can you do this if you get bogged in the mud with an mini x?

Thanks

Nice job brother 👍

Beautiful sir....god bless you.

Thank you ...very usefull

It’s easy to do, You don’t have to go that high either. You can also do it while tracking forward in high and make fast turns without having to rebuild speed

❤❤

Hey man great video

If you don't already, could you please make a full video on running an excavator on steep slopes? Not just tracking up and down them, actually sitting there digging trenches, getting across side slopes, etc. If you do have an in depth video of it already could you post the link for me? Thanks!

Good job 👌👍

Ty now my boss thinks I'm capable 😂

I’m not an experienced equipment operator by any stretch of the imagination…ran some stuff at a friends farm sometimes helping out, just little stuff like that…but my folks had a spot in their yard that liked to flood when it rained…so they rented a miniex and asked me to dig a trench to lay some corrugated tube as a drainage. Well, my mom is very wary of excavators (she had an uncle who rolled one over and died.) and she’s out there watching me work, and I’m doing my jump turns, and she’s freaking out every time (guess me picking the front of the machine up and swinging the carriage around was just too much for her), and finally I’m like ‘would you rather I just do this?’ Bucket in the air, just right toe forward, left heel down, just ripped the hell out of the yard with the tracks. (She’s quite picky about the yard, likes her grass pretty.) She then decided she was ok with my jump turns 😂

I will be a new excavator operator when we take delivery of a Kubota KX033-4 in about ten days. I have never operated an excavator before (I operated a vintage 610 Bobcat skit steer for about 7 years), so I have been binge-watching excavator how-to videos the last several days. I just want to confirm what I have been seeing, and it seems like an easy way to remember how to do a jump turn: move the swing joystick to the side of the tread lever that is going forward. Do I have that right? Thank you!

​@@outrun7455nope, doing this twists the boom sideways. Digging is a straight up and down load. Only jump turn If necessary. Over time this can lead to cracked welds, boom plate, and as pins get looser this can slightly bend cylinders and damage seals. Only employees do this. No real owner operator will do this if hes a good one. Use you're drive motors its what they're designed for boom are meant for weight up and down not sideways

Don't forget you have to pull the stick in a little as you swing

Sounds like a sober Ricky tpb

So I’ve never used a excavator but somehow I already knew how to I’ve seen my dad do it and it looks easy

I learnt it by accident when I was young and I remember thinking to myself that how you do that

I am assuming you do the jump turn so as not to screw the ground up to much as only part of the track is on the ground. Or is it speed??
