LADWP CASE 590 Super N Backhoe Loader digging trench in Northridge, next to a power conduit

A LADWP CASE 590 Super N Backhoe Loader digging trench on Geyser St., Northridge, next to a power conduit for a gas line. Because of this, the crew had to work carefully. This was on April 28th, 2023. Part 1 of 2 videos, the second video shows the concrete being poured the next day to cover the work.

i haven't been any newer 590 Backhoes so i thought maybe CASE stopped making them but obviously they still do 😂

[@coltongarber8087]

Something probably the bucket linkage is really squeaky all of the sudden

Be nice....let me help🤷‍♂️

What crap you lot in the US speak he's doing a good steady job machine is sitting nice and steady but in uk you wouldn't use a bucket with teeth in amongst services unless you had to and perhaps he has to drive forwards to steer the front bucket past obstacles so don't judge what you can't see

Yeah, seems like people are big critics. As the person living next to this worksite, I will say they did an excellent job, always let me in and out of my driveway (even when it meant driving near a trench or heavy vehicle that was working), and were nice/friendly. And they got the job done quick. Also, I don't seem to have an excess water pressure issue anymore, so it was good they replaced the 1950s infrastructure (the reason for this project).

@@glennhighcoveexploresstuff ye if nothing was broken or they didn't scratch the pavement etc etc that's a good job done just fine

Put your video up ,

[@IUOE12mercado95]

Sadly, these are the operators that get a city job before good and real hoe hands… set up way to high for no reason, has to pull up outriggers and turn seat around to move forward and proceed digging when really he should be lifting up the front bucket and pushing himself back using the hoe…… gosh this really bugs me.
