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.
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
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.
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?
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Just wanted to add my 2 cents First excellent operator sir. Only problem i seen is that when you're in your trailer need to scotch the tires bro your tearing the park in your trans up at least scotch the trailer and put the truck in N . Be best to scotch truck but having an actual Truck Driver on site is just as important as the operators my friend keep it safe and looking proud for our fellow Americans
why dont you shut your pie hole. the cheap POS skid steer will be fine. but if he does break something he can buy a bobcat. best out there. but still u have no right to talk like that about someone trying to make some extra money.
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.

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.
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!
Indeed your friend has skills! Fun to watch.
Thanks.
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
I love the look on non operators faces when they see something special!
Right? Especially the stuff this guy can do.
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.
I used to love being the bobcat guy on the job. It was fun.
Yep, especially if you're good.
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
Great operator. Very smooth and confident on those controls
Yessir.
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.
He operates very smoothly... nice !.
Oh yes, and he works miracles with that little machine.
This dude is beyond good.
I agree. Good is normal. This guy is excellent.
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.
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
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.
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.
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
Okay... I know how to get my front legs up, but the back ones!!? This guys amazing!
Yep, he's pretty good!
Well, now he is just showing off........great job
Believe it or not, he actually works like this. And he enjoys it!
You sir, are a true professional operator.
He certainly is.
... and would you believe it's only his first time! 😉
Yep, that’s why he’s so slow ;)
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.
10 out of 10 on that, what an operator!!
I couldn't say it better.
Dude , this guy is awesome .
He is awesome, and invaluable on the job site.
Dale Allen bunədi şry
Damnnnnnn, that was impressive !
Yessir. Or...yes ma'am.
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
I took another video of him recently running a Kubota rental skid steer: ruclips.net/video/pdpEWWjvkrY/видео.html
Yes, I did.
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.
Here's a video of the same operator/machine inside of a house: ruclips.net/video/SCaotGvYQEo/видео.html
...my brother's channel.
He is one with the skid steer
You, are right.
Smooth as can be. Impressive
Yessir, he is very smooth.
Now that’s a professional driver
Yes, he does it all day every day as his profession.
Outstanding!
Jes.
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
He the best so far I seen on youtube
I agree. He best I ever saw anywhere!
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%.
Pretty impressive! I wish I knew how to do cool stuff
Yes it is. Start practicing something cool! This took him years to learn.
That is true art!!!
It certainly feels that way during a job that needs to be done right, and quickly.
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.
Smooth!!! Well done.
Yes, he's very smooth.
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
Damn he's good
Yessir.
Very impressive, I wish I could drive my bobcat half as well as he does his.
Yes, he makes it look fun.
Dudes got serious skills
Correct.
Damn I suck with a skid steer. It’s mind boggling to even watch someone so smooth
Right?!
Best operator
Fo sho
Quality mate 👍
Thanks! I agree.
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.

@@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?
No school will teach you this. You have to spend years behind the controls of your own machine.
Well done!
Yes, he makes it look easy...because it is easy for him!
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.

Until he breaks something than he's an asshole, lol
right? Although in his case, he's an owner-operator.
Man knows his machine
Yes he does, as well as any man ever knew his machine. He's an owner operator and does this all day, every day.
Spraying diesel on the bed helps I heard
What you have heard...is true.
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.
That's allot of practice and I mean years. And dammit man, save some work for the shoveler's haha...they need to earn their paycheck too 😂
No...no the shovelers don't mind. :)
haha...right!
Jay Hunter 'a lot'

Just sick of everyone spelling it like you.
🤣🤣 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.
Somewhere an OSHA manual just burst into flames.....
...and productivity finally happened.
Lol...
Take it easy on him! Its his first day!
Ha! Good one.
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!
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.
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.
I was driving this bobcat very nice skeet loader
That's funny. POSER ALERT! But, you do kinda look like Jake.
Now go rake that cold asphalt 😂
That's the best part!
nevertoooldtohavefun If he was a good machine operator you would not have to rake
That guy is master Bobcat operator!
Yes, he is.
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

Отлично ,превосходно упровляете , машиной 👍
Yes, he never operates on an empty stomach.
When I do that it’s because I screwed up. 😂😂
Yep.
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.
Man! Can this guy drive a skid or what?!
That's all he does, 6-7 days a week. He's an owner operator.
As a an inspector I would reject your hot mix, why? you did not apply tact coat as primer.

"I'll sweep it off"... NOPE....."I GOT THIS"!!
I was going to shovel it off. He was like, get out of the way.
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
Nice moves and you got it man
Yep, Jake Hatch does pretty well.
He’s a 👍🏽 O.G on that thing
Yep, he's invaluable on the job site.

Verdad!? No empezamos ningún trabajo de asfalto sin que el este presente. Hace que los trabajos salgan bien hechos, y bien rapido.

The luxury of working for yourself, in rural USA.
@@SouthwestORV Yep, Long hours, hard work, lots of headaches, but in the end its all worth it.
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.
No tack on the cold joints?
Generally, yes. Certainly best practice. Not on this job.
Thing has wooden sides, u know that guy is good
Yessir, he’s good.
Funny you say that as soon as I seen the skills I knew he was Mexican that's right like a boss!!!.
he isn't mexican
It's true, he's as Mexican as fried chicken - not at all.
Like a boss😎
Yep, and he does it in flip-flops.
Very good driving! Expert
Absolutely.
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.
Nice work
I agree.
Sorry, no insult, but nothing he has done in this video is amazing! Anyone with experience with a skid steer could do the same
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.

I mean damn. He's got skill.
Oh yes. Great operator.
not at all, you clearly have no idea what you are talking about
that's sick!
I agree.
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.
That man has skills!!!
Yes he does.
Just wanted to add my 2 cents
First excellent operator sir. Only problem i seen is that when you're in your trailer need to scotch the tires bro your tearing the park in your trans up at least scotch the trailer and put the truck in N . Be best to scotch truck but having an actual Truck Driver on site is just as important as the operators my friend keep it safe and looking proud for our fellow Americans
why dont you shut your pie hole. the cheap POS skid steer will be fine. but if he does break something he can buy a bobcat. best out there. but still u have no right to talk like that about someone trying to make some extra money.
Looking back - I can tell you now almost 4 years later that the Ford is still on the road pulling trailers every day - tranny survived.
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.
I don't think he's had that happen to him...yet.
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

You're right...so is your stang.
those tires on the Bobcat are the ones that don't go flat right?
I'm not sure, I've seen him use several different sets. I don't recall if this are run-flats.
Joaquin Segura Yup, those are airless tires.
