  • Excavating for a permeable paver driveway project. I am in a Caterpillar 316E that we rented for this project. I am using the Trimble GCSFlex grade control system to excavate to the correct depth. I am loading a buddies Tri-Axle dumptruck. Like what you see?

    There seems to be a lot of crappy negative comments from other people trying to knock you down or your operator skills. You guys with the negative comments go ahead and make a better video that puts out the same good information that this one does. I liked the video and thank you for putting out the information I was looking for.

    Why not a 5ft clean out bucket? Especially with a treble...you'd be done in 1 hour

      +orbiter119 It is very easy! They will install a demo on your machine if you want to try it out. Contact your local SITECH dealer. They install the systems. They are based out of all the Cat dealerships.

    Hi, I'm usually excavating drains and site clean ups. I'm trying to get a job as an operator to do what you do. Can you give me any tips? Many business owners want site cut experience and I don't have any. I know I can do it but many people won't give me a chance. Cheers

    • @vulcan_nz
      @vulcan_nz 7 лет назад

      been down that road man, best chance of getting a job is as labourer on a roadworks crew and move up ladder from being on end of a shovel to a Operator, or trying to get into a Coal /Gold Mine operating you only really have to load trucks in the Mines easy as piss. Most excavation companies here want ppl with at least 2 years experience and class 4 truck license I went through a 4 month digger school course and got my WTR endorsements and still struggled to get work its cause the cost/time of training people on job most companies wont do it I found a couple that did though they want you to be able to work unsupervised, nothing is guaranteed in this industry! all about baby steps, its not exactly rocket science either though.

    • @stamatouvable
      @stamatouvable 7 лет назад +1

      hey thanks for the reply. fortunately for me, someone was kind enough to try me out. So i have been doing site cuts now for two weeks on a cat 311D. I love it and i still cant believe i get paid to play in the dirt. Im sure you can agree with me on that. thanks for the advice and thanks for the good content.

  • @greghuhman7761

    Should at least have a 36" bucket or possibly bigger and a sissy in that application.

  • @thepizzadevil7392
    @thepizzadevil7392 9 лет назад

    it's strange that you don't got rotortilt's on any of your machines. And on this rental you used a rock bucket? doesn't it take twice the time to get the job done?

  • @FiremanCH87
    @FiremanCH87 9 лет назад

    True excavator operators don't sweep the bucket. Especially when you have a skid steer sitting there.

    • @ThatRoadrunner
      @ThatRoadrunner 8 лет назад

      +Dirt Ninja but it has the quick coupler mechanism, right? Didn't Milton have a wide grader bucket lying around? seems like that would have saved you half the work.

  • @greghuhman7761
    @greghuhman7761 8 лет назад

    I actually just watch some of this video, you leave so much to do around the edges but trying to be picky about the field. Now when you clean up your edge with the ctl, I assume you'll be fucking up the field. In this application always cut and clean edges then your field as you go. If you were on my crew you'd be laid off after the first warning.
