Paul, with your 3CX skills and Clare's camera and editing skills, youse showcase how versatile a backhoe loader can be.🙌🏻
I remember the days when the Backhoe Loader was king, Iv seen the kind of jobs you can do with a Backhoe, a good operator and maybe a man on the ground. I started as a kid watching Backhoes on nearby jobsites, even the sounds would interest me, in the late 90s I started operating Backhoes and a few years later bought my own. Now...I operate Excavators, Dozers, Dumptrucks, Screeners and Crushers, but I still make time for my Backhoe, which is where it all began! 😊
Nice job Paul. Nice to see the old 3cx still putting a shift it.I'm still running 3cx jubilee limited edition
Thanks .. yeah this 3CX is still putting in full shifts, full time work... retirement is not on the cards for this one. I hope that you enjoy using your Jubilee 3CX, be nice machine to use 👍👌
Great video! Fun to see this process, very different from how we do curb and gutter in the US
Another great video, Paul. The job is starting to take shape now. Keep up the excellent work, pal 👌👍
Thank you very much Benny, yes we're coming to the end of this little job, which we finished earlier this year in real time👍
Another great vid keep up the good work
Thanks Mark - We will try our best, with winter coming, work will slow down.
Don't tell your wife but they do make kerb stone lifters which are not too expensive to hire/own - Kerbing is heavy going, done it myself 😀
Ha .. yeah I'll not tell her😄 I may just hire one next time - you really do feel it in the arms at the end of the day, no gym membership needed .. 😂😂💪
Great job with the Turbo wider bucket,a little bit at a time as u are,take too much and get a spin and it time to drag it all back again,my job in the late 80s and 90s on the 3cx and the Drotts,all 360 big wide ditching bucket for me now,Good to see it done that way again,I'm not far from you too in Ossett 😀🤙
Hi Michael, Thanks for watching - Yeah the turbo is the only way to go if you 'really' need to use the machine to its full petential, you can also move a lot of material with the front bucket being 8 feet wide, thats like having a ditching bucket on a 30ton excavator! Yes, you may see one of my vehicles around, or be lucky enough to be stuck behind my Backhoe😁
Cheers mate,if I don't see you on the road there's always your channel to watch 😀🤙
Very nice 3CX you have, can you tell me please what tyres dimensions do you have on front? They look very good.
Hi, Thank you very much, it has taken some hard work at times to keep her in this condition. But the machine is very realiable and used most weeks full time! The tire size is 365/70R18 on the front which dont just look good but offer good traction on soft ground and dont sink in so much.
@@PSExcavationsLLCThank you for the information!
Nice work mate. What’s the rough daily running cost on that?
Thanks for the comment. Most Backhoes with a turbo engine will use around 10-15 gal of fuel a day, depending on how much roading you do and how busy your working, some days it's been 5 gal. If local and not doing much heavy stuff. 2.5 gal engine oil on 300hr service plus filters. Hope that helps! ☺️
Hey send me that backhoe tractor 😅
😆😆
Great video! Fun to see this process, very different from how we do curb and gutter in the US
Hi Robert, Thanks for watching! Yes this is a little different, from concrete casting curb and gutter which is how it would normally be done in the U.S. and Canada from what I remember. It is sometimes done that way in England too 👍
