    That’s a cool bucket, when I was lead hoe in water and sewer I always used a V-bucket. Rarely used a digging bucket unless we were doing main replacement with a cage. But with that bucket, I could see your rock and or sand bill easily cut in half ... 👍🏼 Been 11 years since I’ve had quick attach, making me a bit jealous lol

    Cool video, I've been on both ends of that deal, kinda miss it(back surgery took me out of the hoe & crippled me) although I never got to run anything bigger then a 345 Cat, lol, bit jealous of the big iron, although I always liked 330 size, most power w/o loosing speed

    I ran sidehoe for Sureway and worked on a dirt crew for a couple summers when they were still using Cat 245's for that kind of work. I even pulled away from their first 385 on a deep trunkline job by Sherwood Park don't let Bruce know you made a video I heard they fired that Pushysix guy over that.

      Haha, yeah they don't like this kind of stuff but I'll take it down if I have to...I started in 06 under Cartright...Not sure how long its been since you've worked there...

      I was there in '03 and in '05. But I only worked on the Henday in '05 loading rock trucks. I worked for Porky for a while and for Bud Light when I was working for underground.

      I don't really remember it's been over ten years I think the only hoe operator I remember was Scully.

    That was in 2012 wasn't it? Seems like Skully's last 385 behind Troy's, but we never worked with you guys in 2013. I run the other 365B in Derek's crew, cool video man!

      @13prevailbushcraft  8 лет назад +1

    Why over curl so much to dump your load. Just flick the stick or curl and get back in the ditch
