@xXThermobaricXx I picked them out of the berm I was loading (could only send dirt to the fill, no large rocks) and placed them one of top of each other using the bucket.
@RailFanJon Many times! I pulled one out that was so big I had to dig a hole under it for the bucket and then use the tracks to push it on. I couldn't lift it off the ground so I just used the tracks to drag the bucket along as I went! If you send me a message I'll give you the links to a couple crazy pictures.
Untrue, machines these size get the outsides cleaned when the steam truck comes. The insides of mine get cleaned when I'm waiting for trucks or after shift. No point in cleaning windows after shift as around here the wind can pick up anytime and dust your windows again so those get cleaned after the trucks get rolling (and I have a break in the stack) or coffee time.
I noticed theres an auxiliary hose connection (dont know what you guys called it), do you guys rig up a hammer to break up rocks? Would be cool if you can upload a vid of it man
@redheadedduckhunter Had a lot of theft on that particular site but never any vandalism. Had one window popped out of a hoe on another site so the word from the office is everyone puts them on every day. What can you do?
Production indeed, not a fair reason to abuse the machine though, which im not saying you do since i've seen many of your videos, great operator skill across the board, but still... Outside condition tend to go hand-in-hand with inside condition if you know that i mean.
@Dylan Martin ...it's called a volume control and it allows you to adjust the amount of sound that comes out. It's turned down, but not off.
wow dude u were rocking the long hair back then and the excavator was rocking the steel plates
@rlewis1946 Yes, they have an across the lap belt. Every machine is equipped with a seatbelt (dozers, scrapers, loaders, trucks etc).
Good song on your sirius radio when you started your day. At 1:53 it says Social Distortion - I Was Wrong
Hi vatagetes,
Nice to see some new (to me) vids!
Take care.
cool videos.
@Dylan Martin Look at my radio just above the machine monitor, he's reading the song name.
Nice video buddy. Have you ever had to pick up a rock so heavy it nearley tips the excavator over? because if so that woulf scare the shit out of me.
@xXThermobaricXx I picked them out of the berm I was loading (could only send dirt to the fill, no large rocks) and placed them one of top of each other using the bucket.
Yes, such video from a cabin is pleasant to me. Boards from windows in the beginning of video - protection against vandals? Thanks.
Yep clean them after I get the trucks rolling in the morning. Step one: productions. Step two: do everything else in the downtime.

@2v1l Can't have the trucks sitting! I clean them one by one once I get the trucks loaded and have a spare minute or two.
The inside is spotless. The outside is dirty from loading mud at the end of the day previous.
No it was plumbed for a hammer at the company who was going to buy it when it was new. They never took delivery so we got it cheap from the dealer.

how did those rocks wind up stacked up on top of one an other
I see you either replaced the broken glass or knocked it out completely
Whats the black things u take off in the begining?
@redheadedduckhunter Up is easy, it's down that's a bit sketchy the first couple times. After that it's easy.
very true
is it scary the first time you climb a farely large pile?
read the sirius radio display screen lower right hand corner.
Did you have a lot of vandalism on that site or do you put them up for good measuers?
@redheadedduckhunter Had a lot of theft on that particular site but never any vandalism. Had one window popped out of a hoe on another site so the word from the office is everyone puts them on every day. What can you do?
what was the black thing on the window you tock off
@kurlis Had to have the appropriate hair cut for when Metallica came to town!
Well don't try to fix machines any time soon, there was a small leak on the boost side of the turbo.
@walston410 This is correct!
if window is that dirty what is the rest of the machine like !!!
Would of*
@vantagetes could u send me the link?
Oh, okay, what were you wearing headphones?
@1hitdeadah1z Window (aka Vandal) guards

Your machine don't sound right ,machine like that shouldn't lose the revs the way it does,i reckon your slew ring or slew motor's on it way out
you should clean it before you make a video !!
What the fuck are you talking about? There is no music at 1:53
