Life Behind The Levers
Великобритания
Добавлен 27 фев 2021
Hello and welcome to the channel, this channel is dedicated to my life behind the levers being a plant operator in the UK.
The excavator i currently drive is a 2021 Volvo EC220 but I do operator other machinery from time to time.
I work for my local construction company so content will be based around that type of earthworks/civils work, as well as other excavator based content i hope you will enjoy.

really love organized im digger driver and loader driver i really would love something like that in my van would you mind link website for storage at the back of van or is it DIY
Interesting video didn’t no it would be so varied. You do a lot of travelling for that? What sort of hours do you do?
job well done, very skilful
any issue so far with the jcb?
It's incredible ❤
Certainly took the bull by the horns.
Love the organization! If it's dis-organized and I can't find it, it's like I don't have it! You've inspired me!
Exactly! Thank you for the comment it’s much appreciated 👍
Blinding, love the set up. I have a good amount of the kit just no storage. This certainly inspired me. I’ve done my fair share of repairs. Love the feral operator comment. So true.
Thank you, appreciate that. I think it was a fair description 😂
Yo también quiero uno , cuanto costaria para una excavadora de 11 to a ruedas?
Good videyo
Thank you 🤝
Top job that well done
Thank you 👍
Cracking job, looking at starting a mobile mechanic business from a similar sized van, thanks for the ideas
Very nice video mate. Thanks and have a successful week
Thank you, you too 👍
Do you still need a CPCS to do this at JCB ?
I am Indian. I am also JCB 3dx operator.
I always thought a loader backhoe was a very useful machine last one I used was in2003 which was a massey ferguson 50b my last company had did my cscs at Bircham Newton with jcb 3cx in early 1980s the company I am with now only use 360 machines but on some jobs I think to my self a backhoe could do this better and quicker And I will admit I do miss using them
Every site had a 3cx back then, JCB have really spent a lot of time developing & upgrading the 3cx/4cx. They are a true operators machine 👍
Oh woooooow Nice Place 👍 Nice video 👍 I Love JCB Machine I also Operator I Operating JCB Machine
Amigo bendiciones para ti y Felicitaciones por esa belleza de maquina con la cual trabajas DIOS quiera algun dia me de la oportunidad de trabajar en una maquina de este estilo es una pasion ❤ a cumplir
Saludos desde Uruguay🇺🇾🇺🇾🇺🇾
Thank you and good luck my friend 🤝
Would love to try a rotor tilt out or equivalent, I bet it’s an absolute game changer!
Absolutely, Rototilt since “dig days” where you can try them out. Amazing piece of equipment save so much time & fuel 👍
Hi ya mate, I've just subscribed to your channel and got to say I'm really enjoying your content so far 💪
Hi mate, cheers for the comment its really appreciated 👌
Some skill there fella , top job 👍
Appreciate the comment, thanks Michael 👍
welcome to the 20th century
Couldn’t agree more 😂
Where is the wall from?
The divider wall was just something I made myself
@@lifebehindthelevers jesus l, it's brilliant, thanks for the reply
Dobre ulepszenie 😊

It's a great machine, may God grant it to everyone.
great video really enjoyed it. impressed by your positive attitude and skills as an operator
Appreciate the comment thank you ✌️
Nice now you need some good bucket :)
Definitely wouldn’t say no to more buckets mate 😉😁👍
And then you finish with 1 truck full of bucket like me :) @@lifebehindthelevers
😁😁😉
unusual to direct fit a rototilt to a such big machine. Normaly its detachable.
Absolutely totally agree, all companies are different, this tilt rotator so far seems to fit our set up really well. 👌
I’d never want a machine without a tiltrotator on! I’ve been running Engcon units for about 7 years, the best decision I’ve ever made. Give yourself 5 days, you’ll be operating it like a Jedi 👍🏻
I’m starting to think the same mate, the time & effort saved to do similar jobs is incredible. I’m slowly starting to get it all synced in..head down & levers swinging 👍 Appreciate the comment mate, all the best for 2024 🤝
I'd love to do the sort of work you do ,I've had an engcon on my machine for over 12 months now together with trimble gps it's brilliant enjoy it mate
I’m definitely enjoying the earthworks & GPS Colin, I feel you can get so much more graft done interrupted with the trimble 👍
This was back before Plantworks then? You must have the hang of it now? 😆 You certainly seemed to have mastered it at the show
Still catching up with last years videos mate, Rototilt was fitted a week before Plantworx (next video) I’m going to do a 1000hr review on the Rototilt, I’ve got loads of footage through the weeks and months upto that. And how I found getting to grips with it 👍
Top job James, and you do a really great job of showing us through the stages you do to get to the final product. Looking forward to seeing more vids from you
Cheers mr Gunns appreciate that 👍 don’t think il ever be as comfortable talking on camera as you though, more videos coming. All the best for 2024 Ollie lad 🍻
Absolute professional👌👌
Wow..thank you! 🙌 All the best for 2024 my friend 👍
Those 220’s grade so well, nice job 👍🏻
Volvo got the hydraulics dialled 👌Appreciate it Neil, all the best for 2024
Very tidy work mate ,true what you say about volvo I've had volvo and gps for a few years but boss decided to give me a case 130 e what a pile of crap gutless uncomfortable cheep crap volvo are no 1
Absolutely Colin, it’s just a well put together work horse. Pleasure to get in it everyday 💪 Really appreciate the comment mate, all the best for 2024 🍻
How old is your 220 and any issues with it
Hello mate, it’s a 2021 with 5000hrs. It’s only ever let me down once with a bust hydraulic hose. Anything else has been minor and would just get rectified on its normal service schedule. Incredible machine 💪
They call it driving through your arse. When using the bucket as a blade you can fell if you are level when traking it in .this fella is a bloody good driver
Absolutely perfect analogy mate 😂 love this comment, thanks for watching it’s much appreciated 👍
Thank you for this video. I'm considering a career as an excavator operator and I'm looking for courses.
Thanks for watching and good luck for the future mate 👍
what equipment do you use to record your videos?
Hi there, I’m using a GoPro 10. Thanks for watching 👍
@@lifebehindthelevers thanks
Hello friend. Greetings from Korea. I booked jcb's Friday factory tour and have some questions. 1. Is it hard to get to that place by public transportation? 2.Or are they running shuttle buses as well? 3. Are experiences such as pt.2 included in the tour?
Hello there Sean, hope you are well. There are public transport options. You would get the train to Uttoxeter Station and then take a bus into Rocester - there is a bus stop about 3 minute walk away from the JCB Visitors Centre. There are no shuttle buses running unfortunately. As for pt2 of the video, that was a demo day for the 4cx. Unfortunately JCB don’t do a public visit to include that. Hope this has helped and you enjoy your trip to JCB 👍
@@lifebehindthelevers thank you for you kindness reply!! This business trip is also my first visit to UK. I can't wait! hope you always happy
😍😍😍😍😍🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Good vid mate. As you say 3cx in the right hands is the most versatile machine out there. Was always my favourite machine.
The original backbone of British sites 💪
Lovely job, 👏
Much appreciated..made a few more changes will do an update soon 👍
Love the vid 👌🏼 where did you get the wooden storage that you’re tool box is sat on in the back thanks 👍🏼👍🏼
Hi Zack, thanks for the comment. They are the “Konnect units” from B&Q. Bought these years ago I had them in my previous van too. 👍
Great build and a nice tribute to our beloved Queen. May she Rest In Peace.
Much appreciated, thank you. All the best to you Andrew 👍
Heard in Dublin many years ago: What's the difference between a JCB and a giraffe? Well, the JCB has high drollicks and the giraffe has high . . . .
