Lets dig with Krafty: Cat grade infield design setup
Video on how I set up my GPS to dig house cuts. To my knowledge the exact same process applies to Trimble earthworks as they are a pretty similar system.

Fantastic work! Can we have some more please.
Hell yeah man cheers keep them coming
Hlo sir operate ki jarurat hai kya
shit these are good videos. So much shit talk on youtube without actual good information. just bought my first machine and slowly transitioning out of my old job to doing my own thing. really appreciate it. gives me lots go practise on on the property. would love to see how you approach roads
Mate... these vids of yours are QUALITY...! Hugely apppreciate your time and effort in sharing your skill and obvious experience! Helping many of us newbies gain some much needed idea on simple yet damn powerful processes! Can't wait for more content on varied situations! I have a CAT 308E2 and am getting the nerve up to start making a 200m+ 2WD access track up a 20 to 50' grassy slope on my property (in a rainforest valley, luckily hills are predominantly clay under lush topsoil, with floating sandstone here and there)... I think mastering the cut with a consistent quality as to what drainage it will need will be my main worry..! As there is at least 2 to 3 watercourses I will need to take the track through, not to mention one huge blue-gum I hope to get the track above but may have to go below to keep it 2WD... All the compounding varibles! And no idea yet of the needed design! Anyway - thanks again for sharing and doing what you are! Helps us newbies out HUGELY!
Wow bro haven’t seen trimming like that before, I’m a combo operator digging out boxes for patches on road works in Queensland, I’m trying to get good at trimming efficiently with a nice finish but it’s hard when the supervisor is hounding you to get it done and settles for a half assed job
Can you please release more video’s !!
Great video but would love a boring long video un sped up video to be able to watch details of movement
great video but why are you putting spoil under ur tracks?
good job mate thanks for the video
Nice video. But what are these trenches for?
Respect
A veritable artist in dirt! I learn something every time I see your videos!🙌
You got any more videos bro? Most helpful explanations I've seen. Nice work👌
Keep the videos coming. Every job. Good content talking through absolutely everything brother! Keep it up. Could you maybe do a video on basic use of the GPS/trimble/topcon?
These videos are great! I love the precision.
hey what do you mean by lamination?
🤔oddly satisfying!!
I’d love to see some final trim videos.
This is excellent, man. Cheers. Doing a civil construction course, and finding good Australian content is like looking for a needle in a haystack. Thanks again.
Your a goat mate, need to start uploading again
GPS has made operating most heavy equipment much easier than back in the day, but I still like having all the surveying experience in my computer/brain so I can problem solve on the fly :) And that swivel bucket is pretty nice too but the times I thought it would be really handy is on sloped ground so I didn't have to level off the machine. Just run the bucket level and not bother ramping up one track to level off?
Beautiful work brother
Thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience. I learnt quite a lot from your commentary too. Nice work
My goal is to reach your level of experience mate your control of the excavator and digging is master level mate i love how you have your dog in there.
Kerja bagus kawan,sehat selalu dan sucses...
Cheers heaps for this man I just started a cert 3 in civil construction and mobile plant operations and going to give this a go tomorrow
How did you create the file for the gps
Our surveyors create the model through their cad software
@@jaydenkraft thank you
get a rotor tilt noob
Can you do all that without having a base station setup on-site?
Yeah mate, the machines come with a modem in them that you put a SIM card in to which runs off satellites (same as a mobile phone pretty much). We never use base stations although a base station is generally better off for accuracy etc
I'm on day 2 of my certificate training. I have 20 years as a forklift operator. I can sink an eight ball with one. I'll be watching and learning from your tips. Thank you
Just a question, because your stripping off the sod\grass why does it matter to have the machine level, it just seems like your lifting everything twice, forgive me for my ignorance but just trying to learn mate Thank you
It depends on the situation really. At the start I mention I’m sitting on a 14 percent incline so it was quite an aggressive slope. If you have a machine digging side ways on a hill that steep, it puts a lot of unnecessary pressure on your slew motor and will give you one hell of a sore back at the end of the day! Every situation is different though and if it was only a minimal slope I wouldn’t bother packing the track but in this instance I think it’s another helpful tip to apply if you’re in the same situation 👍🏽
@@jaydenkraft cheers mate, am new to this trade so I will have lots of questions lol and am a new sub also, I hope to be as skillful as you some day
@@gferguson73 all good mate, it all takes time, just pickup what you can from others and take your time 👍🏽
Cheers mate Thank you
Another awsome vid I'm learning lots 👍
Awesome!!!! Have the ticket but no one hire with no experience.... sad ...
You are the worst no one can understand a word your saying and what your talking about do you no any other word besides um,, 😅 what country are you from because here in the states we speak English 😂
Hi, great work, what size excavator is that one???
15t excavator this one 👍
Hey man just started watching your vids and they are great. That looked like perfection how ever what are your thoughts doing that with a grading beam?
Grader blade would achieve the same result mate, most likely even faster just depends on the amount of material you’re pushing out. Take smaller bites to put less strain on the gear and you’d be sweet
Cheers m8 appreciate the tips
I’ve been gaining only a bit of experience by watching and then being asked to leave site not to return. thanks for this so much has helped me learn so much.
I can move dirt but you operate.
I don’t have much GPS experience. Which screen do you look at in order for the machine to stay in line with the trench?
The cat grade screen will show a green guidance line on top of it once you setup a job that has a trench line input
Great videos and very useful information. Can you tell me what size machine, make and navigational instrumentation you are using here please? Cheers.
Hi mate, appreciate it. Using a 23t cat next gen excavator with cat grade 3d GPS
Please
Champion, cheers bro
Hey Dude!!!! I see you took my advice and trying out the Engcon, get a different attachment on the Claw, you need something wilder, trust me on this. Once one of the Agents finally make it out to you, you'll be amazed of how much more you'll get done. If some how you can let them I turned you onto this, maybe I can make some dollars for promoting their product. Try to have a Great day and remember what I told you, I wouldn't steer you wrong, Promise!!!
You have it figured out for sure. Nice work
Another top tip
Thanks for tips
I've gotta say your a gun bro, I've seen a few of your vids now and props mate. That said, any chance you are a gun on a 5t excavator with no tilt bucket and no GPS?? I ask because 90% of my work is super detailed excavations and I'd love to your tips and tricks video on a small basic rig
Appreciate the words mate. Unfortunately I don't get to spend too much time in machines at the moment but I definitely do have some little tips and tricks for the smaller rigs. Next time I get in one and am doing something technical I'll try remember to throw a video up for you
Nice machine! Something like that with all the gizmos on would be a dream. I just bought an old 2004 Kobelco SK75UR for my property and it's surprisingly challenging having no experience at all and having no leveling technology. Just had a go at digging around 2 trees with a 300mm toothed bucket to remove them as they were leaning. Darn roots are stronger than I thought! Haha. Might need a ripper attachment. And will be digging in the septic system and power, so this trenching vid was a great help! Cheers mate.
I just bought a Kobelco 75UR as well - a 2002 model with a knuckle boom. Unfortunately, it has absolutely no throttle control. It's been wired for max RPM and I have no idea how to fix it. An excavator operator I spoke to just said, "Deal with it." He reckons in a year I won't even think about it anymore. Tough when you're learning though, particularly as the hydraulic oil warms up it gets really powerful. Don't know what to do really as I need a hydraulic post hole auger and I don't really want it running flat out all the time.
@@ThePaulv12 The trottle lever is typically on the right hand side behind the consol where the start key is. If you have the lever there I assume it isn't responding? Mine had the same issue. The throttle cable was broken midway. I replaced the cable and worked as it should again. My knuckle boom ram just started leaking so I'm in the process of splitting the boom to get access to the ram. Getting parts for these has been a bit difficult as they are 20yrs old now.
@@ThePaulv12 Has yours still got the identification plate with the model, serial, engine numbers etc?
