That thing is so fast for its size what a beauty!
Thanks Mike

Sure is quick!
Thats a big machine! And quick!
I'm always so envious of you guys who get to dig yards and yards of dirt... in the Sierras the ground is loaded with granite. Every time I dig I encounter thousands of pieces of granite, some the size of golf balls... some the size of that excavator!
Looking good!
This machine moves ridiculously fast for a 30 ton machine.
Gettin er done!
Wow Amazing CAT good2
That 330 is a beast! You mowed right through that section! looks like good future purchase ;)
How those that excavator weight in tons?
The 30 is the weight in tons.
@@briangardiner1015 metric tons

Is there another kind of ton?
Peter Riis yes.... metric ton or tonne is 1000 kg. Or about 2200 lbs. the standard or imperial ton is exactly 2000 lbs.
Arent these up at like 35 tons
Whoa! That bucketload at 4:25 was huge; like 2 bucketloads in 1. You smashed through that job. What a beast of a machine. How much do you want one?
Why such a large machine for a basement? Wouldn't the rental costs and transport fees really hurt you on a short job?
It really depends, is the short answer. Rental costs are not an issue as much as it may cost more but it will take less time, and since rental rates are based on time it would be better since it’s not only able to scoop more but also moves faster and can reach longer, allowing it not to have to move as much as a smaller machine and also cutting cycle time way down. It’s also able to cut down labor costs, as the difference in pay for operating either machine is marginal, so the more time it takes the more it costs. As for your point about the transport, as long as it wouldn’t need a larger truck or lowboy than an alternate machine the lowboy cost is the same. However, it does depend on how the rental rates are calculated and also on whether or not you would have a harder time moving a machine this big on a site like that.
We had this house and another one to do on the next lot over. The builder needed them done asap an was willing to pay for the added cost of the rental of the machine to get them done.
Did you use any of the 2D grade control features on that machine?
When doing any excavating job, how much time do you spend thinking and planning to figure out the best way to dig quickly without "digging yourself into a corner"? And how long did it take you before you stopped making the rookie mistakes that cost you extra time?
I’ve dug many basements, some in wide open grass fields, some in residential developments with house on both sides, it’s all about experience, once you do enough of them, you realize what you have to do every time you dig one
We take a good amount of time planning jobs. It saves us time in the long run. Moving dirt the least amount of times is the key to making money. It took us about a year to really figure things out but we still make mistakes!
Did you stop doing landscape work with the smaller equipment?
No I still work for my parents Mon-Wed
@@DirtNinja Some videos with them please?
Awesome that’s a long reach
Need a two dollar bubble level on the window sill so the operator can see he is not sitting level.
The tracks are lower on the side dumping the material. This speeds up the time it takes to spin to dump. You will always be spinning down hill with a full bucket. It also increases the load you can carry when taking a scoop.
Daniel C. Make it level.
When did Cat come out with the 330? I thought it was a 336 on the last video. didn't read the fine print. LOL
The 330 has been around for a long time. My company has one from the 90s lol
@@Dirtlife98 I think I had a senior moment.
@@Dirtlife98 I think your thinking about the 336. they had a 329 but not a 330. I have a Caterpilliar Performance Handbook from 2010 and there wasn't one then.

@@briangardiner1015 no, they definitely made a 330 even back in the 90s. Our specific machine is a 1998 330B
Losing money moving dirt twice
