    Man keep this kind of content coming. This is the stuff that nobody takes the time to teach you on the job. They just assume you will figure it out with enough seat time. That may be true but if I can see someone like you do it and explain what you are doing I can learn it 10 times faster.

      I appreciate the feedback! I'm actually changing gears on the channel. The vlog content is moving to a separate channel and I'm doubling down to work on putting out solid Down and Dirty content.

    Finally I found a video to help pick up small rocks and concrete. Although I operate a Gradall it's basically same technique. Thanks man!

    Another thing you can do to avoid scratching the dipper when doing the sliding down method is if the piece has a narrow end on it, slide down it, and uncurl the bucket slightly so the end goes into the top of the bucket , drop the boom and then curl the bucket. Works well for longer thinner pieces. More stable too

    Excellent! Would love to see how to carry logs/trees when you don't have a thumb. My mini-ex doesn't have one. I use the grapple on my skid steer or sub-compact tractor instead, but would love to learn how to do it with my mini-ex. Thanks and keep up the great work!

      Unfortunately I don't know that I'm going to offer up much solid advice. That one is just going to be a challenge due to the nature of the beast. There isn't really a good way to do it without a thumb or a grapple. Thanks for watching Beau!

      If you have another person with you it is nice to have a chain or strap that you can crane the trees with into your trailer/bin/dumpbed

    It's good Tip. nowadays We can rarely find the excavators without the thumb in korea. So, sometimes we forget how to do it

    • @DieselandIron
      @DieselandIron  Год назад

      That's getting to be the case here in the US. Thumbs have really taken over the market in the last 7-10 years.

    It always makes me nervous pulling concrete because pieces like to fly every now and then, I also like to try and get off to one side of the concrete when possible so if it pops off it goes over to the side instead of straight back at the cab

      The key is to use your bucket to pry upwards. That will make the majority of the force go in a direction that isn't towards the cab. If you are really cranking on a piece and it isn't really moving, change tactics. Another common mistake is to continue to put all of that force on the concrete until something finally gives. In that case either the machine will break or the concrete will let loose and shoot in all different directions without any control.

    Any tips to pick up like a small pile of dirt when you almost done cleaning up. I almost got it have people with shovels to throw it bucket because if not all i do is chase the pile all over. Lol. 🤦🏼‍♂️
