A person this graceful with the skid-steer probably trips over everything when walking. It's people like this that make people like me think I can go rent one and be good at it in no time. You make it look real easy.
People think this is showing off, but It's good to know skills like this, because you never know when you'll have to do something of the sort to get the job done.
Use a lawn sprayer nozzle and fill with diesel for even spread, especially with your rakes shovels, if your tools are getting clumps of cold Ashphalt spray some diesel on them and stick it in the hot Ashphalt , comes off like butter
As an inspector, we would reject YOU. The practice of applying "tack" is debated amongst professionals for simple asphalt joints where hot mix is being placed on prepped base, jointing existing asphalt. We use tack coat for many applications, but this is not one of them. Our patches have held up for 10+ years without issues.
If you watch the video again, you'll see in the video that I mentioned the diesel bottle ran out at the hot plant, and there was no other diesel on hand. Gotta get the job done.
I do, he told me about it. He grew up in a construction family. When he was grown and married, he had a dream of just owning a truck and a skid steer and being his own man/company. So he made it happen.
Thanks for the reply. I learned to run alot of this equipment when I got the odd job here and there from people not showing up for work. I'm thinking about buying a skid steer of my own and doing more work i'm also thinking about getting an excavator but not sure if I want to dedicate the money into it just yet. This was an awesome video thanks for sharing :)
You're welcome. If there's a local demand, I know it can be done. There are several guys in this area who have made a living out of it. The two three that come to mind immediately are backhoe and skid-steer operators.
@@SouthwestORV I live in southern California and would love to learn how to operate equipment like this skid steer and excavator. Do I have to go to school for that?
This guy is such a good operator that he will make the service life of a skid steer go from 5000hrs to 1000.. SMH, the machines pay your bills.. use them as intended...
It's his machine, owner/operator. He has been running machinery most of his life. He says that operating the way his does is actually not as hard on the machine because most of the destructive forces come from people operating roughly, and skidding the machine around. Running on two wheels eliminates all of the skid forces and wear/tear.
Southwest ORV I have about 5000 hours of Skid-steer time myself, and I totally agree. I always said the reason they put 4 wheels on a skid steer is so you have a choice which 2 you want to run on.
So many salty people in the comments lol. The dude is definitely a smooth operator. A little but of a show off lol but IT IS a video on RUclips, so he's gotta show his a game. Also nothing wrong with what he's doing. People are commenting how he wasn't working efficiently. Hahaha maybe not to the blistering pace of a RUclips commenter, but to the average person on a job site or in a shop I think he's doing alright.
Pretty good skid operator. I remember the days when I could have fun on my skid and do cool stuff like load it the back of dump trucks etc. Now we have a big contract and everything is safety oriented. Hard had, vest, eyewear at all times. So the only time i can mess around is at the shop.
It's good until the drive belt breaks, then you are really having fun, I was trying to get up a flatbed and the belt broke just as I was climbing up. Boy did I have a hard time getting out of that mess.
Hopefully it never does. I think he's awesomely talented in a skid steer and hope he can continue his stunts for decades. I know how much excitement people can get, especially kids from watching skid steer stunts. I have showed off many times but never had the nerve to climb up higher than a flatbed truck. Plus being my own mechanic I am reluctant to stay up so long that I will starve the engine of oil or have the hydraulic fluid cavitate and damage pumps or motors.
Viral Clown .....That's good to know that you have no life. Looks like you have plenty of time to check other people's spelling. I already have auto correct screwing it up for me. Thanks for caring! If it wasn't for people like you who have nothing going on in their world then the rest of us wouldn't make it without you losers. hahahaha
I wish Bobcat stayed with the drive handles straight to the floor rather than the electric controls. You could do so much more from wheelie control to steering. electric controls have their advantages but you can't even take one hand of to drink coffee with the new controls. Before if you let one hand off it would still go forward without turning.
Nick Korte you can buy 2017 Bobcat hydraulic over hydraulic skid steers... just need to order it that way... too bad they are owned by Doosan now though.
Doosan isn't up to a lot. Case fucked up a lot of things I wish they didn't buy out good and even better company's such as poclain their were the machines to have one time even made the biggest digger in the world at one stage but yet not many people has even heard of them. They bought out too many good companies eg David brown, international and their part of new holland
Asphalt in a trailer??? Huh? Guess a dump truck was out of the question and this all could have been prevented if someone remembered to diesel the floor of the trailer...aka a real paving company
not sure if those engines run a dry sump oil system. hope so becuase that thing will be torn apart due to oil starvation. amazing skill the operator has and the owner better be proud to have him on the team.
Shawn Jarman agreed I was in a so field and saw this ancient ole black dude do some crazy shit my mind was blown away I thought I was seeing g things it asked how did you do that he said it's a extension of his body and have been operating for over 40plus years.
The key word you used is experience. I have none, have never sat in one. If you can operate one as good as this guy did, congratulations. I was just commenting that people can make it look so easy and the reason is "experience".
I guess...it's perspective then, and in that case I agree with you. I see professional athletes do amazing things, but like you say, they are not truly amazing in a sense because anyone with experience can do it.
Some people just know how to handle equipment. I never got that good but I could handle a bobcat and get the job done efficiently. Still amazes me what some people can do though.

You can always tell when someone’s been operating a machine for a long time because they know how to do the strangest shit you’d never think of lol.
That's true!
A person this graceful with the skid-steer probably trips over everything when walking. It's people like this that make people like me think I can go rent one and be good at it in no time. You make it look real easy.
Yes he does. I know what you mean.
Really appreciate the talent this fellow has.
Me too, believe me.
Probably the most versatile piece of equipment ever invented.
From my experience, I would say this, and the mini-excavator.
Agree
Indeed your friend has skills! Fun to watch.
Thanks.
I used to love being the bobcat guy on the job. It was fun.
Yep, especially if you're good.
I drive the bobcat for a living and I have to say that guy is a great driver
I say it takes one to know one.
I could watch a good operator all day long. its fascinating how they are one with their machine!
I couldn’t agree more.
Same here! They use their machines like an extension of their bodies
I love the look on non operators faces when they see something special!
Right? Especially the stuff this guy can do.
водила бобика реально крут в работе!
Очень приятно было смотреть.
Передай ему мои восхищения его работой и заботой о бобике.
Yes, he does this for a living, and yes he is a legal citizen of the U.S.
@@SouthwestORV я бы 100 раз поставил ему Лайк.
Yes, he's an owner operator.
People think this is showing off, but It's good to know skills like this, because you never know when you'll have to do something of the sort to get the job done.
That's exactly right.
This dude is beyond good.
I agree. Good is normal. This guy is excellent.
Someone give that guy a promotion 👍🏼
agreed
promote to what? a bigger skid steer? this guy is in his element.
They will never promote him; they will just say "he is too good at his job"
The nice thing is, he is an owner-operator, so he's already at the top. There is no more promotion when it's your own company.
Raise is salary
He operates very smoothly... nice !.
Oh yes, and he works miracles with that little machine.
At the end of the day this guy does his job, and does it well! Excellent video!
Thanks, Mike. I agree - he does his job well.
Great operator. Very smooth and confident on those controls
Yessir.
Im an operator, and i give this guy props. I have never tried this, time to test my skills and the machine too.... hold my beer!
Yes, he deserves prop. He's awesome.
Lol
Just be careful and patient
Great operator, Thanks for everyone sharing the diesel trick. Im working on my driveway next month and that tip is helpful.
Yessir!
Use a lawn sprayer nozzle and fill with diesel for even spread, especially with your rakes shovels, if your tools are getting clumps of cold Ashphalt spray some diesel on them and stick it in the hot Ashphalt , comes off like butter
That was freakn awesome.
Wish we had guys like you at my company. Make life so much easier.
Yes, he makes the jobs go quickly and turn out right.
What is your company
Hatch Industries.
... and would you believe it's only his first time! 😉
Yep, that’s why he’s so slow ;)
Well, now he is just showing off........great job
Believe it or not, he actually works like this. And he enjoys it!
За штурвалом сын Боба,его родил Боб,сын не подвёл отца, семья Боб Кэт гордится им!👍👏
Yes, nobody does it like the Americans do. I agree 100%.
Now that’s a professional driver
Yes, he does it all day every day as his profession.
You sir, are a true professional operator.
He certainly is.
Wow i wish i can drive like that like this guy amazing skills on point good job !
Yes, don't we all.
You and me both 😆 Lol
10 out of 10 on that, what an operator!!
I couldn't say it better.
He is one with the skid steer
You, are right.
This guy is awesome….wonder what he was like as a kid!!❤😮🎉
He was cool, and pushed the limits.
Well done. Great operator. Experience shows.
Well put.
Dude , this guy is awesome .
He is awesome, and invaluable on the job site.
Dale Allen bunədi şry
Expert doesn't even begin to describe what this is
I agree. He has gone beyond expert, but only because he loves it and this is what he does all day every day.
Okay... I know how to get my front legs up, but the back ones!!? This guys amazing!
Yep, he's pretty good!
I’ve been doing it since I was 18 the secret to that is tighten up the seatbelt
There you go!
Good job 👍 I do that every day in my job i work in the bay area in California
this is what happens when you love what you do
Correct. And he does love what he does for a living - operate the skid steer.
Somewhere an OSHA manual just burst into flames.....
...and productivity finally happened.
Lol...
Looks like they welded additional plates of steel on the bucket to increase the volume of material it can scoop! Badass idea
Yes, it works well.
As a an inspector I would reject your hot mix, why? you did not apply tact coat as primer.

Отлично ,превосходно упровляете , машиной 👍
Yes, he never operates on an empty stomach.
Spraying diesel on the bed helps I heard
What you have heard...is true.
He the best so far I seen on youtube
I agree. He best I ever saw anywhere!
He's either hired or fired, Either way he's a badass.
True. And he's hired. That bobcat is on a job site every day, making somebody money and getting the job done.
nevertoooldtohavefun, for sure, I'd hire him!
Very impressive, I wish I could drive my bobcat half as well as he does his.
Yes, he makes it look fun.
Should've sprayed a little diesel in the bed before putting the asphalt in. ;)
If you watch the video again, you'll see in the video that I mentioned the diesel bottle ran out at the hot plant, and there was no other diesel on hand. Gotta get the job done.
Most plants don't allow diesel anymore. They have soapers now.
Damnnnnnn, that was impressive !
Yessir. Or...yes ma'am.
Smooth as can be. Impressive
Yessir, he is very smooth.
that guy gots skills
Yep, and girls like guys with skills!
That guy gonna catch someone one day😢
When the trailer was up dumping it would have made more sense just to tap it with the bucket
Thing has wooden sides, u know that guy is good
Yessir, he’s good.
Damn I suck with a skid steer. It’s mind boggling to even watch someone so smooth
Right?!
This was damn impressive! Anyone know how this guy got started running the skid-steer?
I do, he told me about it. He grew up in a construction family. When he was grown and married, he had a dream of just owning a truck and a skid steer and being his own man/company. So he made it happen.

Im owner operator in los angeles ca
763 bobcat thanks for the vid
Most never will.
Pretty impressive! I wish I knew how to do cool stuff
Yes it is. Start practicing something cool! This took him years to learn.
A little diesel sprayed on the box before loading goes a long way. Prevents sticking
Yessir...unless the diesel bottle runs out at the hot plant...then this happens.
That's when u fire the driver for not refilling the sprayer or just hand him a shovel
Most would throw a couple of guys up there with shovels....This guy is Awesome!
We tried that but the asphalt was stuck to the bed floor, which is why he climbed up there to scrape it out.
Dudes got serious skills
Correct.
I was driving this bobcat very nice skeet loader
That's funny. POSER ALERT! But, you do kinda look like Jake.
When the boss is off the property
Luckily in his case he is the boss, owner operator, so he runs his machine like this all day.
🤣🤣 the replies to the comments are priceless. But that dude has some serious thought skills for real.
In real life he's a blast to talk to. Down-to-earth dude.

Until he breaks something than he's an asshole, lol
right? Although in his case, he's an owner-operator.
A dump trailer with a shaker would be nice.
True that.
typical ford diesel the hood is up
Funny comment, but the hood is up in order to run jumper cables to the hydraulic motor on the trailer for the lift.
Honestly would love to try this but there are some risks...OBVIOUS RISKS
Yes, and most people won't want you to do it in their machine. He is an owner operator so he can do as he wishes.
Spray diesel in the box. The asphalt comes out
Ran out of diesel at the hot plant. It happens sometimes.
Pretty good skid operator. I remember the days when I could have fun on my skid and do cool stuff like load it the back of dump trucks etc. Now we have a big contract and everything is safety oriented. Hard had, vest, eyewear at all times. So the only time i can mess around is at the shop.

@@SouthwestORV Yep, Long hours, hard work, lots of headaches, but in the end its all worth it.
Now thats the way you do it
Yep.
@@SouthwestORV ain't got time for pussy OSHA clipboard warriors to get in the way of a job being done
Thats why you diesel the bed before getting loaded.
Yes...unless the bottle is out of diesel and the hot plant is about to load you. Gotta do what you gotta do.
I don't think expert is a strong enough word 👍
I agree, he is a superior operator.
superlative is a word that comes to mind
It's good until the drive belt breaks, then you are really having fun, I was trying to get up a flatbed and the belt broke just as I was climbing up. Boy did I have a hard time getting out of that mess.

That's right. And if there's not enough diesel, you DO have to scrape it.
Damn he's good

Its not too bad. I generally wouldn't drink anything when driving. I would stop and go in for the tea
I usually just use my knee to hold it forward if I need to grab something.

Everybody is just jealous because they can’t run a skid steer like you boys can keep up the good work
Verdad!
not jealous of someone foolish enough to run a machine that way.
Now go rake that cold asphalt 😂
That's the best part!

Asphalt in a trailer??? Huh? Guess a dump truck was out of the question and this all could have been prevented if someone remembered to diesel the floor of the trailer...aka a real paving company

spray the bottom, sides with diesel, keeps any from sticking
Yes...that was our standard practice, just ran out of diesel at the hot plant on this occasion.
Damn I got some catching up to do! Lol I can barely back up a skid off the gooseneck without near shiting myself
Right? He's next level.
😂😂😂 same
not sure if those engines run a dry sump oil system. hope so becuase that thing will be torn apart due to oil starvation. amazing skill the operator has and the owner better be proud to have him on the team.
He runs it like this constantly. So far...after years of service, no problems.
awesome skills. Most of what he did would get him fired where I work. They have no sense of adventure.
king of the world yep
Yeah, in smaller business it's applauded because it's more efficient and effective. In bigger business it is a liability.
