JCB 140X | Site Work | Drainage | Loading | Grading

Welcome back to my channel! This is a short segment out of lots of work I've been doing at on a local site which is actually my own school! It's a small area and has limited access which makes it more of a challenge when in a large machine like the JCB 140X. Stay tuned for the next video coming soon featuring a different excavator on site!
Thanks for watching! Feel free to leave any questions or comments below :)

[@Omnitrio1]

good work lad started young. how long you been driving? and what sort of day rate are you getting if you dont mind me asking. cheers

[@bentheop]

Thank you mate! First got behind the leavers at about 4 years old, and I’m 17 now so… a little while! Money wise, I’ll be completely honest I’m in it for the experience and not money right now. I’ve done a few weeks before completely for free just to have the experience of that particular job or machine. Otherwise, anything from £10-£15ph ish. Obviously a little less than your typical experienced operator due to my age 😁👍

Hi Ben Did you have any experience before you did your 360 course?

[@bentheop]

Yes, at least 10 years on and around machines. Was 16 when I did my CPCS in the other video so had just been gaining more and more experience up to that point.

Awesome work Ben mate a question though I have my telehandler ticket but struggling to find work it looks like there is more work on 360 am I correct in saying this

[@bentheop]

Hi there, Yes there is alot of work available on 360's at the moment, especially with all the new infrastructure projects like HS2. I haven't got my telehandler ticket but have driven them lots before and I much prefer working on 360's. Especially on bigger jobs, there's a lot more independence and it's down to you to figure out the best way to get the job done which I like.
