That’s when you can move on! Buy some equipment and pay someone else to operate it. Then buy another and another. You will be a good boss because you will understand exactly how your employees will feel.

Hey there, my first ADT was a Bell 250, which I believe is owned by John deer and is basically the same. I’ve moved on to other plant since then but those trucks are very safe with anti tip-over alarms and they are good for getting a feel for your safe working angles. That truck got me out of a few tight spots one where I had to power through axle deep mud to get off a collapsing edge of a silt collection pond and with pedal to the metal she managed to get me through. I hope your truck is as for you as mine was for me, best of luck and welcome to the industry 👍

@@HeavyMetalLearning Just one criticism (constructive), and it's really a safety issue. When digging into virgin ground, or any ground for that matter, you should always try and be fully informed on what is, or might be in the ground you're about to dig. The correct procedure for digging a trench is to fully extend boom (bucket) like in this video, but only peel off about 4-6 inches the full length, from full extension to the tracks, this way, you'll fill your bucket, and you will have a better chance of seeing any cables or pipes that might be in the ground before you hit them. Hope this helps. 😃

I think I would like to learn to operate heavy machinery like this, grader, bulldozer before I am done. What a wonderful skill to have though it's not going to come up much in anything other than a life of construction, the operator is god of pools and homesteaders outside of a working life.

rudimentary intro to excavators---several thoughts-- if you are travelling where people are in area with boom up then if ground level permits then keep bucket above head height as people are going to wander into area unannounced--- all machinery can operated to some degree by most and mastered by few-- good operators never brag-- they let the quality of their work do the speaking---reputation will proceed you-- never was too keen on someone telling me how good they were--impressed by skill level---consistency and good work practices essential--

I pissed off ground works foreman because I was taking full scoops but without digging right down into clay mud on muck away job close to finish level, his idea was dig right in because clay more compact, would fit more in dumper trucks, my idea was take it easy on first day, do not over dig and grade it off nicely, I was sacked at end of first day, the difference was between 5 ton landscaping diggers and 14 ton muck away diggers, had I of gone nuts and plowed right in I'd probably of hit house foundations, the dumper and over dug the whole place, he'd of not been happy either way, at least I can say that I left it nicely graded and carried out safely, one day soon there will be no blue card drivers left.

Definitely start in layers and if this guy understood the range of Motion in the machine did know where the sweet spot was for operated and that you don't just boom out to the furthest point and start that's not how to find sweet spot

Great tutorial randy! The reason an operater uses all his boom/bucket movement at once is to get the material to roll up into the bucket!if you just curl the bucket up in wet/sticky material you will plug the bucket up and spend more time trying to empty the bucket completely than digging!

This is pretty basic. Years ago I had one of my guys loading trucks a couple days later I took over for a day. A driver came over said he timed us and I was 30 percent faster. I started analyzing how we Dig and noticed I plan my next bucket location when I leave hole, and I dump with stick and bucket at same time stick is faster then bucket, I usually dig with flat bucket, think about it when you fill a loader bucket you don't go into pile with bucket dumped so why would you do it with hoe bucket, other then first starting or in hard ground. And remember your finals go in rear. On flat tracks they wear 3 times faster if finals are in front. On high track dozers it doesn't matter there like reverse all the time. Nice video for basics. I love teaching new kids I figure it's my only legacy. I started 41 years ago. And own about 12 machines.

I highways for a living. You talked about digging with a flat bucket verses with the teeth down, the real difference is what type of work your trying to do. Pipe crews dig with a flat bucket to lay pipe and grade digs with teeth down to see there grade. Plus if your excavating bulk such as digging a pond it would take you 100x longer

I'd would LOVE to try this just once...not as a career move just on my bucket list (no pun intended)

If you never done it, you won't be sorry. You will have a memorable experience. I know I did when I operated a skid steer loader and a backhoe for 2 days though I had to deal with a lot of bullshit. But that don't mean all of these places are like that.

I went through a corse that gives you backhoe bulldozer excavator and your AZ licence (tractor/trailer) it’s 80hrs in cab, per piece of equipment 100/hrs for For tractortrailer +in class written training. I paid 10,000$ and it’s a couple months long. Best thing I ever did, really boosts your resume up.

@Jimmy De'Souza It's not so much about keeping you inside as it is about keeping you from hitting parts of your body (i.e. your noggin) on various thing in the cab in the event of an accident or rollover.

Many thanks for this ! I returned to truck-driving after many years away, on a part-time basis, driving 6-wheeler tippers, and have to load my own truck on occasions when the digger-drivers go home early. To those who say, they won't have need for videos like this, learn from my experience - neither did I think I would use an educational tool like this ---- after all, I am nearer 75 than 74.............................
