Same as any other digger really, like worn pins and so on. With a Duck obviously, check the drive train, and that it drives as it should. You can tell a Machine if it's been well looked after.
You can Dig with the Duck in Gear Forward/Reverse, It wouldn't go anywhere because you'd have your foot on the Brake. With the Forward/reverse selector being on the left lever right underneath your fingers, I used to stick it in Neutral anyway, by habit. Thank you for your comment
@@bigbaza30 that’s interesting, I failed my rubber duck test yesterday as I was back filling the box and I was still in gear, parking brake was applied at the time.
@@Sash_Window Sorry to hear that, The instructor knows that the Duck won't go anywhere with your foot on the Brake of if indeed you have the park engaged. But, Digging while in Gear would be seen as a safety issue, even though you, Me & the Instructor know, that the Duck will not move. Don't get discouraged by this and reapply for your test, and do everything by the BOOK. Good Luck Sash
You know what it is, and I know what it is, I mean it's written all over the Machine. And plastered all over the thumbnail lol. TY for your comment Nick, I hope you enjoyed the video
Best rubber duck on the road
I agree, I operated a 17 ton Hitachi for a few weeks about a month ago, Great machines
Pretty sure I’m operating that exact machine this last week 😊
LOL, wouldn't surprise me
I’m over in Ireland. Think it came through an auction lol. You hardly remember the reg number
@@CraicDublin I think it was an Irish Company that owned it
Hi
I’m thinking of buying one of these, it’s a 2008 with 20k hours. It’s very clean but anything I should look out for?
Thanks
John

RaJ SoHaL thank you, very kind of you

Wanna know more about this machine ❤
Feel free to comment about the Basic operation if you would like to add
Do you have to put it into neutral to dig or can you just dig on when in forward or reverse?
