    Hi Dan! Next time use the smaller bucket for the excavator. You’ll have much better luck ripping through rock. Also, use the stick boom, also known as dipper boom to pull your bucket back towards you always keeping bucket as flat as possible. Think 90 degrees to 45 degrees. Enjoy you much!

    That's so great to see Doug again. He does remind me of my dad. I'm glad you found your nugget, but if you want to up the efficiency of your plant take a blow torch to the nozzles and soften them up and squeeze them flatter. That will make the water pressure you have and jump it up significantly as its forcing the water through a more narrow slot. That should make the dirt pile at the back of the rig melt away (like Butter😉).

    • @kylealexander7024
      @kylealexander7024 Год назад +2
