Such a cool vid LD18. I'm sure you don't have trouble finding guys to haul for you. Looks like you treat them and their trucks with respect and keep em rolling!
Oh!!, mighty fine music.too too sweet to my old 80 listening to good music ears. And I enjoyed the poor predicaments some of the big machery was involved in. Such sweet little parts you include into your great programs. Fondly, from one of your over an over watchers . Mrs. Job
Letsdig18, from reading bout half of these comments, it seems like you're doing only fairly ok operating. Maybe these know-it-alls will post some REALLY good operating videos to show us all how much better they are.
I have over 40 yrs under my belt and have ran alot of excavators and loaded MANY trucks. Your a good hand 'letsdig18'. One thing I noticed however is some spillage from the bucket onto the side and tailgate of the truck. If the trucks are not going going onto a highway then that's not a big problem. HOWEVER, if the trucks ARE going on the highway the truckers tend to get a tad pissed when that happens because they have to clean it off first. Other than that I'd give you a 9. Good job.
Dont park under my bucket then. I stack the shit half way up my dipper if I'm benched in right and yes I lose a bit too. They are gone in 8 buckets. Spilling dry dirt who cares. With the clamp on the dipper he can't load anymore in if he wanted too and it's also causing some spillage as he crowds the bucket. I'm sure you can see that too. Without the clamp you can get quite a bit more in.
Nice loading Chris. Quick question, with your Volvo's when your running hard like that and the hydraulics heat up do you see your cycle times slow down? I have been running a 460 for the last month and around mid day it slows down, down right gets weak. Changed the pumps, checked the valve bank and they say all is fine.?.?
I’m thinking you have to piece meal some of this dirt hauling or it would darn near break your bank if you had to pay for all these. Great videos and fast moving job with no b.s. to slow you down. 👍👍👍👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Oh another thing, the bigger your bucket the less scoops you need to get out the rigs faster. But here in Hawaii where I work we use long beds and semi's to haul dirt / rocks / sand.
We had a Matbro teleram that did the same thing, it was used for buckraking silage. It was fine whilst it was cold but as soon as you got around dinner time it would just slow down until it would hardly move, we had it from new and although we had several fitters come and look at it we never got it to work right once it was hot
is there some weight restrictions on the roads you are using? in wisconsin quads gross at 72k. just wondering i know you must have a good reason for 3/4 loads
I would hire this guy, doesn't honk (very irritating), drivers don't have to clean off side rails, very fast & neat, topsoil isn't that heavy, but in my state you have to have 8" of freeboard or the operator will get the traffic ticket (i know). If you can grade as good as you load, you are an operating engineer!
From driving dump trucks... and also operating... I will tell you why it is like this. Most of these trucks have CB radios in them and the antennas arent adjusted for SWR. Therefore the operating range of these radios is typically less than a mile. They are bored and they want someone to talk to. So what happens is.. you load a truck.. he will creep until some of his buddies catch up... Also, When you pay them by the hour, they tend to also drive 10-20mph under the speed limit.
@letsdig18 i should make a video like this but instead of a large ex id use my compact ex like the tb016 and instead of dump trucks i should use idiots with wheel barrows what do you think about that? i would do somethin like that
idk, I am beginning to think it is the computer slowing the engine down for some reason, like it is saying something is to hot because when you get it in a bind you can't hear the turbo spool up like norm.
Tip.... keep your eye on the tarp when they back up to ya and keep dumping up front then work your way back. .. when the final bucket at tailgate flick the rest and smooth out all in one shot ; -)
mine actually tend to operate faster once everything is nice and hot? but If your hard digging stumps you can tell it gets a little weaker once everything gets boiling hot.
Excellent operating technique, as well as your time management for loading, allowing no wasted motion with a full-bucket load!
That Volvo seems to have a nice loading cycle speed. Good to watch.
Now you sound like James I didn't see her at all I thought you were going to tell you were going over there
his cuts are great. nice to watch
i could watch this all day, and i could do this all week. i love excavators. they are such awesome machines.
Such a cool vid LD18. I'm sure you don't have trouble finding guys to haul for you. Looks like you treat them and their trucks with respect and keep em rolling!
Great video, let's see a classic letsdig loading tandems from in the cab with flip flops on!

damn chris you can throw that volvo well its nice quick and smooth with you fair play

Nice heaped buckets, helps to have loose material to really pump out the loads!
Good video.
Smooth Operator.
Nice work
No matter how spread apart they are when they leave, there always stacked up comin back
Looks like good top soil.Boys are keeping you busy.Must be a short haul
Good work keep it up👍
damn and I thought I could load trucks fast. sweet vid
What a great and smooth operator!!!good luck!!

Der Volvo EC210 Bagger ist richtig gut, mein Volvo V70 auch.
The Volvo EC 210 excavator is really good, as is my Volvo V70.

its was pretty dry and sandy so it fell right off. nothing like some sticky clay though that will make you have to get out and scrape it lol

very nice and smooth....awesome
thanks for videos, my 3 yr old loves this stuff
It's moves like 0:12 that set this guy apart. Excellent work.
Anyone should be able to do that.

Gotta give ya' credit, you don't fart-around when it comes to loading!☺
Best video yet! Keep it up
Great driver I'm 25 and drive 30ton on sewers have to load out trucks. I'll upload soon
I’m thinking you have to piece meal some of this dirt hauling or it would darn near break your bank if you had to pay for all these. Great videos and fast moving job with no b.s. to slow you down. 👍👍👍👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Great video!
Backing up with your Jake Brake on....now thats a "Super Trucker"
operator is super efficient!!!

Good operator, doesn't waste a swing .
wow that operator is truly talented
Marcos Vinicius FDx 🇧🇷✌️🔙❤️😍
I did not know if that was a truck vid or an excavator vid.
Nice operating, nice trucks add up to a great vid.
Smooth!
nice, now that is how u load, nice work speed
i find this so relaxing....
This guy is good four trucks about 8 minutes very awesome.
Wow smooth machine the LR Hitach i use is just wore out and sloppy loose compared to that
Smooooth...top operator
uauu very fast and good driver . top
nice loading technique
I like ur video dude
Excellent operator
181 fired operator's hit dislike button
good job young man
Montana Harvestor lll?o?,.o.Kkmmkm ,l.. Mmmmmmmmmmmkkj km. Mí jnjmm
That's getting it done
doing good job
You have better Grip on the driven axles when more weight is on it . Also it saves Tires if u have to turn hard.
is there some weight restrictions on the roads you are using? in wisconsin quads gross at 72k. just wondering i know you must have a good reason for 3/4 loads

If you can grade as good as you load, you are an operating engineer!
videos as this I can do watch all day
full bucket loads, making every load count..
Whats the gross weight on those trucks,5 axles seems a bit much for a rigid tipper?

great~
Now that is flow! How come the trucks never uses the axels that are lifted?
That guy can PRODUCE some work...!!! Thanks...
@letsdig18 i should make a video like this but instead of a large ex id use my compact ex like the tb016 and instead of dump trucks i should use idiots with wheel barrows what do you think about that? i would do somethin like that
Yeah and a good truck driver would make sure he cleans of any dirt of the tailgate and sides be4 he goes on roads that's what we do in uk
hammer down! clean, tight operating there.
We got two 4800s at work plus a kamatsu 650
Ik vind het heel er leuk
I want to take the H E O test and operate that Excavator big money in that
do you get dizzy after a few truck loads?
what project are you doing that needs this much topsoil?
are the blue trucks a part of your company? because if they are, they are the cleanest and nicest ones there
Damn, thats like 45 loads per truck. the dump site must have been close or you worked a LONG day!
okay. thanks, didn't know it was a short haul
bulkin dirt like a bosss
Are you excavating with full throttle / full RPM?
idk, I am beginning to think it is the computer slowing the engine down for some reason, like it is saying something is to hot because when you get it in a bind you can't hear the turbo spool up like norm.
You have the best job in the world. very jealous. haha
What do they load ? 10 metric tonnes for 5 axles ?
that's my kind of loading quick
What trips me out is that is soooo quiet!! That thing you can just barely hear.
Diggin ponds seems to be a big business "over there"?
They can't be loaded up to the limit because the fifth axle isn't down?
Thats what you call swift
buen trabajo
What's the payload of the dumpers ??
oh jease thats to bad that explains the five axle trucks, never see those around here, great vid though
You can bring some of that dirt my way I could use a load.
I enjoyed this! Lol, some females enjoy stuff like this.
Have a good day!
I wonder if the top soil is given to companies to filter for sale. I know the clay is used as filler.
How big is the bucket on that excavator?
low tonage road you can only gross 6.5 tons per axle
Thanks. Everybody.
Tip.... keep your eye on the tarp when they back up to ya and keep dumping up front then work your way back. .. when the final bucket at tailgate flick the rest and smooth out all in one shot ; -)
mine actually tend to operate faster once everything is nice and hot? but If your hard digging stumps you can tell it gets a little weaker once everything gets boiling hot.
how far are you guys hauling the dirt
saw those truck running today.

1900 m³ a day? i would have gone mad ;-)
shum shofer i mir qenke brravo
right at 2 minutes a truck all day, thats money.......
thanks man, didn't even realize it lol just needed to get closer to the truck!
182 trucks!!?? Only 4 in the lineup? I. A 14 hour day? Lol! How far were they going to dump out? That's damn good Chris!!
On a 10 hour day with 6 trucks hauling it 5 miles away and nothing but loading I'm lucky to get 100 lol
Someones on a role
Smoooooootttthhhhhhhhhh
