Thx Bud! This was a great vid. Thx for sharing your experience.. this was exactly what I was looking for.. moving dirt piles over a given distance with no other equipment on site 👍👍
Brother I grew up on the farm and always tried new things diff techniques trying to learn from anyone whether 30mins or 30yrs experience haha lost my job after 10yrs wanted to get back to running equipment bein around it and all my whole life and hated other job anyway but I’m new guy with excavation company this past week was first week and I moved a pile like this and halfway through guy come up and said I’ve never seen this how bought get off up till this shit I thought u were pretty descent ... people don’t like change especially from new guy haha take care man good stuff subscribed from SC 🤙
For this to be good for loading trucks I’d have the swing towards the cab sometimes because good luck coordinating that with em but definitely interesting
Thank you. I’m a young operator. Debating if I start my own company or if I go to the pipeline and build of some cash and some relationships. Thank you for replying!
Retracting your arm each time you slue left only to extend again is inefficient. And this is just a technique that you find works for you in your situation. If your going to talk about efficiency that's bulldozer work. Moving dirt like That's a making yourself look busy job or the sort of thing you let that new dumper driver have a little go on at lunchtime
@@efficientexcavations sorry I made this comment of my old mans account, I’m a younger operator (25) so lots of guys criticize the way I move dirt, lots of the old boys try and teach me “the proper way” but this method is hands down the best!! Keep up the great work man !
It truly is, I’d say twice as fast but you still have to clean it all up at the end ... the key to do that efficiently is to have the left over material as thin as possible. Like sitting on a foot or less, so every clean up pass you make you are getting the whole reach of your machine. Cover a lot of ground quickly when you’ve already bulked the majority of the material away already. Rather then sitting up on say 15 feet of material and every scoop you are wasting time pulling grade cleaning as you go and a bunch of material falls back down on what you just cleaned up. So you are basically cleaning the same spot over and over ... Always Bulk, Then Finish.
I have been operating 20 years and never did it this way. Just proved to me once again, that I never quit learning. Thanks for sharing
Ingenious I love how judgemental I get until I see it through thanks for the info man sick demo

Awesome! 👍🏼
Very interesting technique! I will definitely try it. Thanks for sharing.
It's like slot trenching with a dozer on one end and the turn and toss at the other. Nic3 technique!

Wow. Good technique. You are completely right. Thanks for the tip. Subscribed
Awesome, thank you! 👍🏼
can you make a video how you flatten piles of dirt with a digger for a novice ?

What size machine/excavator are you running? I see its probably a Hitachi but whats the model size?
That day I was running a Hitachi 290
how to move dirt fast, have access to a giant excavator with a 10 ton bucket. OK, got it!
🤣👍🏼
Thanks for the videos!! Very informative
🤔 nah like sitting on top throwing it behind me cleaning as I go... long as pile get moved that all that matters
Totally agree
How do you get into operating on the pipeline ?
Most places are name hire, you need to know someone. But you could try sending out some resumes to pipeline companies. I got on with a resume
Thank you. I’m a young operator. Debating if I start my own company or if I go to the pipeline and build of some cash and some relationships. Thank you for replying!
I do both, pipeline in the winter and have my own machine for the spring/summer when pipeline is slow
@@efficientexcavations
I really appreciate you replying. I may end up doing something like that what size machine do you have?
Just a little 12,000# Kubota I can haul around with my pickup
Big buckets make money, only a few jobs on a site in an excavator you don’t aim to fill it every time
Looks like topsoil to me. Lol. Never thought of that.. good idea!..
continues until success ❤️ semangat sukses terus 4🕵️♂️

Fact bro
Just found your channel. Good stuff. I have equipment videos as well if you’re interested. I subbed
Nice, I was already subscribed to yours 👍🏼
@@efficientexcavations cool deal bro. Hope y’all had a great Christmas
Ive done this every time bailing back on tie ins for backfill, Move everything way faster. Not alot of foreman like the method I found
As long as the pipe is being backfilled in a safe/efficient manner why would it matter the way you were doing it?

well shit. kinda feel dumb for not thinking of this on my own haha
Lol was just one of those eureka moments for myself
I could show you a way to do it in two!hours! Very little swinging!,!
I don't like how you dig soo close to your tracks
That’s way faster

Just use a dozer..lol
No doubt, what an idiot 😆
Hey man, I took your advice exactly how you did it, and I got fired!!! Lmao. Jk
Fastest way is to pull and track back at the same time
