He explains the ISO vs STD backwards but other than that... Extreme Sandbox has a more helpful and accurate video on this. ISO is stick and swing on the left joystick and boom and bucket on the right joystick.
renting a mini next week for 6 days and appreciate the video!! went to the rental place today and they let me play with the machine for a hour or so so i can get used to it. but your video helps alot!! thanks man
Nice job. Getting ready to rent one for some work on the property we own, and there's nothing worse than going to the rental yard and feeling like a complete ignoramus when they ask you if you're "familiar" with the tool. You saved me a lot of embarrassment by making this video. Thanks.
I don't know that I'll ever get to run one of these machines but it's always fun learning about equipment and how it's operated. Thanks for the info and the demonstration.
There are so may mindless, repetitive and useless videos out there on how to use equipment. Last week I watched quite a few on the rotary laser level...not one explained what they were doing, the objectives or the process. Dirt Ninja is the opposite! Clear and comfortable. The guy is obviously a very good operator but he also explains things well and no ego on show. I am a competent backhoe operator, who is thinking about a mini-excavator and was wondering how different the controls might be. This video really did the trick for me.
I’m renting a bobcat e35 next week for the first time. I have a Kubota bx24 with fel and bh so not a complete stranger to machines but this was very helpful. Thanks
Great video. Thanks for posting. The controls look straightforward but I dont doubt that it takes a ton of practice to get even close to being a good operator. Nice to get a look inside one of those things.
Thanks for the video. I have always run ISO and picked up an E32 this afternoon in STD. Hit everything but the ground with it. Looked for the switch everywhere,,, but under the seat. lol Will check in the morning to see if it is there. Nice machine, newest one I have ever ran, AC and enclosed. Man I was in high cotton!!! Again, thanks for taking the time to video and upload. Very well done and informative.
I was debating on one of these or a skid steer for home use, this was super informative. Its cool to see a truck from Londonderry, I live right down the road from there.
Londonderry is about 100 miles from me. But thats Londonderry in NI. Great video and well explained. Might give me the confidence to rent out a machine.
Thank you! Im renting a mini ex for a day. $500 ugh to dig a 30ft trench 2-3ft deep!!Ive ran sky tracks fork lift stand up narrow isle forklifts and bobcats but ive never used a backhoe but after watching your tutorial a few times Im pretty sure I can do it in one day Lol!
If you had to clear 5 to 10 acres of woods/brush would you use an excavator with gripper or bull dozer? I want to use the area for pasture/hay fields. Thank you
Dirty Ninja, that is the best demonstration of the overview of controls on a mini excavator. You didn't happen to do one on a Case/Cat Backhoe, have you?
I call it backhoe pattern controls and excavator pattern controls reffering to as a bigger excavator has the opposite controls like you said but i belive the newer big excavators are switchable controls
Well,unless you're working tomorrow I'll pass you up with my E50. I run the thumb on the secondary since I keep the primary open for my mower. It gets old switching back and forth between swing and thumb, but it's nice setup for me when I am running my tilt. I can swing the boom and tilt the bucket at the same time.
simple really... well I'll let you know in few weeks time. 135 square metre 100 tone to come out that's been done so I'm gonna get the digger back in with out the driver coz there's few bits to do. first time should be interesting. cool vid there my man...what would we do without ew tube.. I learnt how to fly a plain last week the thing landed in the duck pond took it back to shop in bits ..
Great video, but you got the iso vs standard controls backwards, look at the diagram in the cab for iso vs standard. Good thing most excavators can switch between both patterns, so it comes down to personal preference at the end of the day.
Bob, One thing you missed on track movement was turning. Slow turn press one pedal or traverse stick, tight turn move traverse sticks in opposite directions, correct?
Very nice excavator:D it feels like everyone bad talks bobcat generally becuse of breakdowns and having a hard time getting parts etc etc. but i dont know since i never had one
when you changed the controls from cat controls is that a pattern unique to bobcat because as far as I knew hitachi or deere controls as you yanks call them is left stick right brings the stick towards you and to the left moves it away and back and forward is left and right and on the right stick moving it towards you brings the boom up and away is boom down and moving it forwards crowds the bucket out and back crowds it towards the machine ? good videos none the less
He clearly says he runs ISO controls, shows SAE controls, and says, “that was the controls for ISO.” Then he swaps the controls and says, “we’re in standard (SAE).” And then demonstrates ISO controls.
all your vids are great . I have a 3cx and had a shot of my friends doosan 225 excavator . He still makes fun of me trying to use the controls since it is opposite to the 3cx . I will be telling him to switch them round next time if his machine has that function.
Yeah I know why, I ran JCB backhoe loaders in the U.K for years, I hadn't run any construction equipment for 15 years since moving to Canada. A local guy asked me to check a cooling problem on his old Hitachi track hoe, with the instructions you can figure how to run it go fix it. Ok I fired it up figured excavator controls and started warming it up. less than 2 minutes in the seat after all that time not running the JCB the bloody stick patterns back in my head and I couldn't run the Hitachi. The good thing from it is I realized how much I enjoyed running a Digger, and I'm now a JCB backhoe loader owner again. You could never tell I hadn't driven one for those years after 5 mins back in the seat. I guess that saying about learning to ride a bikes true you don't ever forget..
Great video just got a mini and am normally behind a desk, lol. Dirt Ninja where do you keep the machines idle when you start to work and dig? I guess it makes sense to ask when do you raise and lower it? The machine I just got is a JCB 8018, as per the manual I start it up with idle on low.
No idea why everyone is confusing themselves but he was right on the controls, it even shows on screen smh. ON CAT/SAE/STD your left control is your stick and swing. On farm controls it's boom and swing. Unless you dont live in North America perhaps, in which case he still isn't wrong, nor is the decal.
My dad rented a John Deere 27d mini excavator today, he let my operate it, as my first time I did really well and i would like to know the average price, anyone help ?
Much confusion. Bobcat refers to BHL pattern as STD standard. That's Ok. What many murican locals refer to as CAT pattern is actually ISO. The actor states his preferred pattern to be ISO however he is actually describing BHL pattern (or STD according to Bobcat). ISO is not the preferred pattern of the actor according to his description, it is BHL (or STD according to Bobcat's label). Some like to insult BHL operators by referring to this as a farmer pattern. There are other patterns too, including K pattern and SAE pattern. Maybe this helps to confuse those already confused.

This is the best Mini-Excavator class I've found on the internet. This guy explains everything.
He explains the ISO vs STD backwards but other than that...

I was looking everywhere on how to control the thumb. Finally, I found it here! Thank you very much!
thanks so much, just about to rent one...watched a bunch but yours, i am ready to dig....thank you Sir
I don't know that I'll ever get to run one of these machines but it's always fun learning about equipment and how it's operated. Thanks for the info and the demonstration.
Good job! Clear and actionable. Thank for it. Grettings from France & Switzeland.

Probably the most informative video I have seen on this topic thanks
great vid, just in process of picking up a new E50 for home use. Can't wait to get out there.

Very nice. Machine has so much power I can full out dig with it.
Great video, very well done! Thank you.

Thanks for watching! Our business is in Londonderry!

I cracked up when you beeped the horn😂😂 I don't know why....
Very nice Mini Digger you have there, very impressed with your video. ;)
Thank you! Im renting a mini ex for a day. $500 ugh to dig a 30ft trench 2-3ft deep!!Ive ran sky tracks fork lift stand up narrow isle forklifts and bobcats but ive never used a backhoe but after watching your tutorial a few times Im pretty sure I can do it in one day Lol!
Thanks, man. Great video.

Awesome brotha, thanks will be doing my main soon.
Thank you man for evrey thing whit love bro
excelente video, felicitaciones
very informative! Thank you!
thats a neat machine good video

Great video thanks
Niiice tutorial!
Good video very helpful
Great video...thanks@
thanks mate your a star!¬
Nice break down
you did it good bro
well done. very helpfull
thanks
this is great thanks
I hope you get to try the new JCB electric one ton exactor. Can you switch the bucket to act as a skimmer?
Does the machine have a blade float mode? If so, how do you activate it?
Good stuff thank you
I call it backhoe pattern controls and excavator pattern controls reffering to as a bigger excavator has the opposite controls like you said but i belive the newer big excavators are switchable controls

what would be best skidsteer for a small excavating company to go along with an e50, 45?
Hi, great video. How can you shrink the mini excavator. I have rented one and don't know how to shrink. Thanks
Bob, One thing you missed on track movement was turning. Slow turn press one pedal or traverse stick, tight turn move traverse sticks in opposite directions, correct?
Very helpful thanks
COOL! Thanks.
Very nice excavator:D it feels like everyone bad talks bobcat generally becuse of breakdowns and having a hard time getting parts etc etc. but i dont know since i never had one
Awesome video! Very informative and helpful...but where's the self-destruct button?
this is why I ran the 320 lol you run them the wrong way! haha
Adobe Premiere Pro and one camera is a gopro and one is a panasonic lumix
How do you like bobcats ? Have you had any other brands
What is the dial just above the hour meter at 2:22 that you pan across?
The e26 have blade float for the front blade?
So how do you like running the 36" bucket on the E50?
but a t190 would not be good for rocky conditions right?or would it be okay
when you changed the controls from cat controls is that a pattern unique to bobcat because as far as I knew hitachi or deere controls as you yanks call them is left stick right brings the stick towards you and to the left moves it away and back and forward is left and right and on the right stick moving it towards you brings the boom up and away is boom down and moving it forwards crowds the bucket out and back crowds it towards the machine ? good videos none the less
how do you close the thumb?
Nice
He clearly says he runs ISO controls, shows SAE controls, and says, “that was the controls for ISO.” Then he swaps the controls and says, “we’re in standard (SAE).” And then demonstrates ISO controls.
Haha thats how it is with one of our skid loaders, the stick'll never fail you though, and its cheep to replace! ;)
over here in ireland the right control lifts the arm up
all your vids are great . I have a 3cx and had a shot of my friends doosan 225 excavator . He still makes fun of me trying to use the controls since it is opposite to the 3cx . I will be telling him to switch them round next time if his machine has that function.

Yes have it on idle when you turn on the machine and shut it off. When you start to work and dig turn it up
Its in the works!
what size of excavator is that
How do you control thumb on bucket
Does this thing run on diesel fuel?
Do you have to be a mini excavator operator to get a free mini excavator?
Thanks bro.
0:17 You must be reading my mail!
No quick attach, wish I had it though...
Gotta be careful, some slightly older machines ONLY cut the levers and not the tracks when you lift the red bar by the door.
Sweet vid! Do you own the company or are you an employee?
Right thumb switch. But it is different on almost every machine.
No idea why everyone is confusing themselves but he was right on the controls, it even shows on screen smh.
ON CAT/SAE/STD your left control is your stick and swing.
On farm controls it's boom and swing.
Unless you dont live in North America perhaps, in which case he still isn't wrong, nor is the decal.
Fullscreen sucks :/ ,
Can you do a vid on how to run a skidsteer?
My dad rented a John Deere 27d mini excavator today, he let my operate it, as my first time I did really well and i would like to know the average price, anyone help ?
Thanks for the help, I just got a job operating and I just turned 17
Where'd you get a job at? I got certified young and everyone wanted experience that I didn't have yet
Its a Geth. Nice bucket
Neat.
Hahahaha I went to that trouble on the first one and then I lost it lol
Give me 2hrs and I can run either pattern. I've had to do it before when we have rented bigger excavators. I'm just used to one way.
Much confusion. Bobcat refers to BHL pattern as STD standard. That's Ok. What many murican locals refer to as CAT pattern is actually ISO.

I once tried to use a huge cat but I accidentaly pulled the bucket and the arm too fast and dirt came to me lööl. that was my last try.
thanks you
why have the "thumb"?
With a small machine like this it helps you pick up logs and rocks.
How do you start it? Does it have
a fuel on switch?
+Kelsey Johnson Just turn the key!
Kelsey Johnson
ive never seen an excavator with these backassward controls
thanks
Lol I'm at work I can't turn the wiper off help quick
can you do a backhoe control run through
Valerio Elizondo it's the same as the iso controls
e50 very good
You must run some old equipment then!
