There’s just something about the sound of tires on gravel mixed with hydraulic whirring that’s on the same level of satisfying as the smell of WD-40 on an early December morning.
Have a wonderful day! 🍻
Agreed. One of my other favorites is the smell of hot Asphalt in the morning.
Hhhhmmmm how did you get inside my brain?
Like the smell of fresh 2t burning running a dirt bike
Those little cats are cute, they don't get to be called GIANT until about the 988 range. When you can look down at the roof of buildings from the machine you're driving, you know you're in a giant. That and having to be careful not to accidentally back over lesser vehicles is a little daunting.
Agree with you there. That's more of a midsize loader
That’s a west coasts mans loader here on the east coast we use cat 992k’s 😂
I run a 962G and a 966 on a daily basis. 950K, kinda a toy. Wait till he gets in a 980 with no steering wheel.
Oh, and by the way, If MSHA came around to one of the quarrys I work out of and seen a home owner operating mining equipment the fines would be huge for company and home owner alike.
But But But, My Tonka is bigger then your Tonka...
That's gotta be the nicest way nearly 2 million people have every been told to pound sand.
Lol
Now that's my kind of sand and gravel place - where you get to use the equipment to load your own vehicle. I might have to drive down there and buy some sand, just for that opportunity. :-)
Gotta love Tonka therapy
If I went there I would never leave, I'd be loading people's vehicles all day.
Hey, Mr. W,
Friendly reminder here. Setting your parking brake while loading and unloading can prevent damage to your transmission, while having the added benefit of keeping your trailer sturdier. For those who may not know, when you put your vehicle in park(with an automatic transmission) a device called a parking pawl restricts the amount of movement that can occur in your transmission, however it can wear over time and with enough force it can break, honestly it's a good idea to set your parking brake anytime you put your vehicle in park. Remember to set your parking brake before you shift on the park, though, otherwise you negate the main benefit.
You can put it in park first, just don't let off the brake and let it roll.
@@twilliams1755 You're right. That's what I should've said.
Since when do they offer DIY loading of gravel and sand? Us East coast guys are missing out.
I feel like the tools needed to build greenhouse are getting a bit out of hand
LoL!
He is putting in box planters as well!
I run machines for a living… I never get tired of watching a naturally talented operator
I'm still waiting to see equipment operator talent on this channel.
I love the channel, but an equipment operator he is not. He can run it, but there is a difference between running it and operating it.
Great job operating backhoe next to fragile glass greenhouse! Made me a bit nervous 😬
Sometimes I miss being a tire guy because I got to operate all kinds of equipment like that, and much bigger, out at the potash fields. If I needed it moved, no one ever told me I couldn't operate it, they expected me to do it. My first time trying to move a grader, I couldn't figure out why it wouldn't go. An operator came up and showed me how to pick up the rear tines which were dug into the ground. LOL! Fun stuff
Cody has excellent taste in equipment, everything from saws to trucks to excavators to tractors.
East coast fella, likes how you fall back to being a heavy equipment operator. I was a steel worker back in the 90s and just came across my forklift and overhead crane certifications I had a proud smirk on my face, even though I haven't ran either in 20+ years!
At 2600 lbs per cubic yard. That bucket holds roughly 4-ish cubic yards. Bucket is not quite full so…3 yards at 2600 = 7800 lbs
I usually us 1.4 tons per yard but the math is good
@@markbrock4260 Thanks. I figured most aggregate is 1.5T per 1 cubic yard. But ran the calc at 1.3 as it looked pretty dry. I almost did 1.4, but what the heck. Have a great day!

I miss running my 980's in the quarry. And the 988 with the butterfly steering? What a Beaut!!! 2 buckets and we had a dump trailer loaded with almost 42 tons of damp stone!!! Someday I'll get back in the cab of one!
By the size of that bucket I'd say at least 4000 lbs, but I didn't see your trailer really squat at all. I drove dump truck (truck and pup) several years ago, getting to load my own truck with whatever equipment was always a highligh. That and spreading rock, it made me feel like I was really doing something.
My guess is 14’ x 6’ x 4” deep in trailer. 2800 pounds or 1.4 tons
OMG...the attack on the corn at the end is adorable! 😁
Love how you waited to do this once the glass greenhouse was built. A man needs a little danger in his life.
I drove a loader 1 season when I was younger .
Hated it at the time but looking back it was one of the best jobs I've had .
I like to work alone .
Cody, thoroughly enjoy when you do videos like this. Maybe is the kid in me, but there is something very satisfying about watching heavy and farm equipment being used 👌🏻
Y'all are having WAY too much fun. : D IDK... that 950 Loader CAN pick up quite a bit and that bucket was ~3/4 full which puts it at a largely different tangent. I'm gonna say from the unloading though, a cu/yd which depending on how wet that sand is... and it looks fairly dry... final answer: 1.5 tons ~3,500 pounds. You DID ask for pounds, right? : ) Something tells me that I want to at least double that though... Oh well!! : )
Thank you for putting the Sweetloaf at the end. It’s been a while since we’ve seen her, I was worried something had happened to her.
You see that little skip hop at the start of the video? He was SO EXCITED to drive it lmao he couldn't get to it fast enough. :P
Sand weight guess: 7522.
Yummy.
Just the way I like it.
Lots of butter with a little corn.🌽
Have a Jesus filled day everyone

Feeling like this is something Mike would know. 😄
Also a great channel ^^^^^
@SPEC, how do you know it wasn’t Melissa who guessed? 😂
Great channel I was thinking about the same. Looks about like 3 yards.
Took my dump trailer to get gravel once. Paid for 2 ton but I know the guy on the loader. This 2 ton made me drive home in low range!
Pretty cool I ran a CAT 950 for a living for 4 years. Several thousands of hours in the seat.
Yeah but does it have dual alternators.
Also that’s a 5 ton trailer and going off how full it is I’d say about 3 ton
Your a natural in that Cat
Every mans dream ride
It looks like it runs better than that CAT dozer you used to have way back when.
Ran CAT 994 FEL 10+ years...approx 35-45 tons per bucket depending on material
Now this really is living your best life! I'm guessing on a 3.5 yard bucket, it was 80% full, that gives about 75 cubic feet... sand looked moderately dry so I'll guess 110#/cubic foot... my guess is 8250# per bucket, only saw 1 loaded, so that's what I'm going with.
Thumbs up for the corn eating!
Flexing his boom skills, working so close to the glass.
The gravel mine here has 992s when it passes you in the mine it makes a regular tandem axle dump truck feel like a toy. They load trucks with a 980M, mine gets a couple years out of the loader that loads regular dump trucks on a busy day it can be 1000 plus gravel trucks.
I was a heavy equipment tire guy for 16 years drove hundreds of these and changed hundreds of tires on theses. Great machines
950 is a beastly loader. I have an old G model on the job I’m on right now
It may be old but it will still do a job 👍🏻
Try working a 980 then now that’s a beast 👍🏻
forgot to mention in the last video but the patio stones look great next to the greenhouse!
Didn’t realize how big it was. Then I saw it next to the truck lol
That small CAT is the “fizzness”
I don’t know about that, there was no in the cab view. I think he was sitting on the operators lap!!! Lol I love your videos man big fan
I learned to drive one of these after about 30 seconds of instruction. Granted I have prior experience on other forms of heavy equipment and the real education didn't start until I had to move dirt from point A to point B but, yeah a lot less intimidating than it looks.
Edit: and for the record I wasn't a pro at it. I could only ever seem to get a half bucket of dirt at a time.
My father used to operate those large end loaders when he worked in a quarry. He was also a master grader operator.
Nothing better than the smell of deisel out of an american made loader in the morning
Nice !!! Nothing better nor unforgiving than operating a big cat !
You really lower down the tension with sweetloaf shorts at the end haha
Looks like sweetloaf loves her corn. 👍
I usually hate ‘self service’ signs. But this one I wouldn’t mind!
Great machine I’ve worked these in quarrying in Scotland 🏴👍🏻
Bucket fits a full cord of firewood 🤣
Get that baby another piece of corn!
That's a big bucket. Got the job done quick
All your videos that have included The Sweet Loaf have been sweet and quite special. What a precious gift she is to you, and to us, too. Don't stop. They're great!
Operating heavy equipment is one of the most psychology satisfying jobs you can have.
2 1/2 ton.
I enjoy it for about half a day then I get bored at least loading trucks I do. I’d much rather spend my time in an excavator stripping overburden at a mine.
4800 ponds of sand. Thanks for taking us along on your projects!
One wrong flick of the wrist and you got a busted window on your hands. Good work 👍🏻
I'm sure I'm the only one who winces just a tiny bit when I see the homestead excavator get "this" close to that tempered glass of the greenhouse. I know you've got it, but I still do it.
Good mornin!
You want to see a giant CAT loader google 994k! That’s what they run at the mine I work at.
Nothing better than sweet corn, and Sweetloaf knows that.
Great video Cody.
That looks like more fun than legally allowed😃
Going to say just under 3 tons. Sand is about 1.5 tons per cubic yard, bucket holds a little over 3 cubic yards heaped.
5 ton i would say. Thats about what I get per load locally and its not quite a full bucket
I like the (little) excavator even more.
I have no idea how much sand that was. But you've got some serious skills. I would never take a chance running equipment so close to a glass greenhouse.
I think the fact that Mrs. W. would have him sleeping out in the shop for a week motivates him to be careful!
Cody: I need some dirt.
Yard Manager: I'll get someone to load your trailer
Cody: Hey East Coast, what did you say?
Yard Manager: Sorry I'll get the keys and you can load it yourself Mr Wranglerstar!
Cody: That's what I thought you said. [Walks away whistling]
If only it had happened this way,
Cody probably has a master key for Caterpillar equipment.
🤣 people are saying 10-15 yards. The tires on the trailer would blow out along with the springs and the axel. A full tri axel holds 20 yards.
Back in the '80's we were recaulking and sealing a couple 2 story log buildings at a quarry. We put two guys in the bucket with one driving, to do the work on the second story. Efficient yes, OSHA compliant no (don't think we even had OSHA in Oregon at the time), nobody died.😅
YAY! The Sweet Loaf eats corn like a duck! HA!
Thank God you have 2 alternators.
Little tot is growing up so fast. Bless her. 🇦🇺
Lol my daughter eats corn the same way, we tell her to stop and breathe.
Looks like 1.5 - 2.0 m3 of sand so i think 2.5 - 3.0 metric tonne , so in American is beetwen 5500-6600 pounds
If I went there I would never leave, I'd be loading people's vehicles all day.
2000lbs in the loader, and 200lbs per bucket on the excavator.
Looking very nice!!
I hope their business insurance company isn't watching.... but I would jump at the chance to get inside that too.
Tempting fate again 2” from a $10k GLASS greenhouse!!!!
oOr little twinks Georgina Elizabeth was the same at that age with an ear of corn, brings back loads of memories, well done SweetLoaf !! Does it with olives as well and use to suck out the Pepper or Anchovy from an olive and then put one on each finger at 2.5 years old. boy does it look funny.... Nice boys toys by the way...
Oh yeah baby. This is what I'm here for
Dear Wranglerstar, you can't imagine how relaxing, inspirational and amazing your videos are. Thank you!
Go Cody Go Cody Go Cody 🤟🏻🤟🏻🇺🇸🇺🇸
1.5 tons of sand 🤟🏻🇺🇸
She really loves that corn. Too cute.
Why did you choose the 7.3 over a 6.7?
Mrs w wants a pond dug
I say 5,500 pounds of sand was loaded.
Those buckets hold about 3 yards on the 950 so I’d guess about 4000lbs
Hard to say because it's sand and has moisture but that bucket will hold about 15 yards heaping, so I'm guessing 10 yards, 2200-2700 lbs?
950s are pretty cute compared to the 988s I used to work around.
are the controls in these machines standardized like cars?
if you move from a caterpillar to a volvo or hitachi do you need to learn a new layout?
I see you have an open door policy.
4-5 yards of sand at about 100 lb/CF should be 2700lb/CY*4.5CY=12,150 or just over 6TN?
GP bucket is 4.3 yards. Not a struck bucket load.
I operate a 930m. Would love a chance to operate a bigger loader at some point though.
You Sir are a smooth hand on the mini excavator
Yes, I;d like to see him take up the challenge from "Outdoors with the Morgans" eggscavator challenge, Letsdig 18 has done it, Andrew Camarata has done it, Dirt Perfect has done it. With a new excavator and no play in the joints should stand a good chance.
Oh Men, this is so cool.
Big tires on big machine, beeping and a big shovel
But does it have duel alternators?
Excellent as usual!!!
Bet you wish you put the stone slabs down before the glass house went up…..nervy work! 😀
8,370 LBS
Used to operate one as a teen!...(well that and anything else and got Cussed out EVERY single day)
