Ha Ha I get that same way with beeping every time you have to move. That's one good thing about my John Deere 60G, it has a mute for the travel alarm and I use it a lot! I hate all the beeping every time you move. Keep up the good work, love those videos keep them coming.
Hahaha!!...I wasn't really watching, just listening, and then you went off about that $&$**& *&*&$% backup beeper. Cracked me up for some reason. Subconsciously I was thinking the same thing!
Here in Ireland most machines come with a field switch to turn off the bloody alarm when ur not working around people love de videos you've put up all year have a merry Christmas
I sure feel you about that beeper. Half the time people ignore them anyway or they sure seem to when we have to sound the sirens on the cranes at work.
Watch out for them flying golf balls Chris. I used to work on a golf course in high school. Dirty no goods always seemed to hit your way while you were working.
Hey Chris, I was on a project with my son-in-law this summer and I was running a SKYTRAK for him for about a month. The beeper on that thang was SO annoying and LOUD!!! I had some painter's masking tape in the truck and put a couple of strips of tape over the mouth of the beeper and it still worked, but was less than half as loud. I didn't want to disable it in case an inspector showed up on the job, but it made the beeper bearable for a long work day. Every time you touched one of the levers on SKYTRAK that dang beeper would go off!!!
You have a perfect job! Take their money and laugh all the way to the bank! I use to go to the golf courses to take out trees....with golf balls....and PAY THEM to let me do it!....what a fool I was. Just shows you that an Old Fart can still learn something! Thanks for the video! ....13
Hopefully that beeper is more annoying to the spacey job site worker that might not be paying attention. That could be a business ending accident. love you channel bro. Keep em coming.
Just some advice, when you track along to help the pins roller sprockets ect, not wear out as fast if you bring our boom and stick closer to the cab, as it keeps the weight more centred
chris maybe instead of taking the beeper out you can trace its wiring back to the foot controls. there has to be a wire ran to the pedals that is conmected to a electrical solinoid that detects when the pedals are pushed to activate. maybe you can cut the wire to kill it
i have a stupid question for you. why is it that its rare for an American excavator to have a rototilt or a tilt rotator? Here in Finland (and all over northern europe) it is allmost impossible to find one without it. Is there a specific reason for that?
Golf course job huh? You thought that those kids had a good time bashing out your windows, wait till the duffers get a look at that big yellow beeping target. PS. You may want to wear a catchers mask to work. LMAO !
Those friggin' backup alarms are annoying. I have a theory about those things. Once you are around them for awhile you just tune 'em out and ignore them -- rendering them pretty useless. A friend of mine's wife's father worked for the New Jersey highway department and was on a jobsite when a dump truck backed right over him. Messed him up good, naturally. They were on soft ground so that saved his life. OSHA checked the truck and the backup alarm was working. Dude must have just tuned it out. That's my theory anyway. I'd wrap that alarm in a rag and see if that stifles it some.
We are starting to change the back up beepers for white noise now, seems to be harder to tune out and not so annoying for people not in the immediate area.
localcrew --- I knew they were on but "couldn't hear them" until they were really close and then I noticed, just as they did their job. I guess they're necessary.....? However, I vote they get thrown in the p. c. crowd and kicked down the road, because people shouldn't be walking around in a work zone like idiots!
I was waiting for somebody to say something about those damned reverse alarms. It is a pity that simply bright yellow warning signs can't advise people that there's something bigger than they are, working in the immediate area. The way some safety 'nuts' are going, they will soon make it mandatory to have rubber teeth on chain saws !!!
Have you ever worked around heavy equipment? I would say that the reverse alarms are there to signal other ppl who are working at the site. 1 thing that some ppl might do for example (including myself :D) is cutting pipe or ''styrofoam'' behind the machine. Its a stupid thing to do and it doesnt occur that often but sometimes in the heat of things you can forget.
You know, Dense, some of you folks have got to learn not take what I said so seriously. Can't you tell when somebody ( like me ) is making a joke of annoying but necessary, back alarms ? Back alarms are an essential safety warning, put there to ,......no I won't finish this as some of you might put on your 'serious frowns' again and try to tell me off . It's Christmas season, try to chill out a tad, and smile,...you can't insult me, as I just don't care about these 'sharply' written replies. But one thing's for sure,..you read it, didn't you. Merry Christmas and all the best of good health in 2017.
Great video Chris. We took shop rags and stuffed them into the backup horns on all the forklifts at work. Duct taped the hell out of them and muffled it down to a bearable point that the operators could live with it and told our in house safety Nazi that they can still be heard... Deal with it BITCH........

A rare minor outburst from you, it was getting on my tits long before you "commented", a tedious job but I guess thems that like to play the lawn pool have the last say( and hold the purse strings) have a good christmas/new year, look forward to more of your great videos in 2017. ps; don't let that Mr Wade near your excavator!!!
I am sure what you are doing ain't cheap. And to think they can afford all those improvements cause people want to chase a little white ball all over the place and watch it go into a hole in the ground............

Man, I gotta get me one of those toys!! Nice...
Here in Ireland most machines come with a field switch to turn off the bloody alarm when ur not working around people love de videos you've put up all year have a merry Christmas
Very good video!!!
Very nice job Chris, taking down Trees 🎋🎍🎄 Merry Christmas and a happy newyear
haha!! you was stressed!!! Doing some fine work.. I picked up a thing or two!!!!
love the new camera set up and love the new excavator
I sure feel you about that beeper. Half the time people ignore them anyway or they sure seem to when we have to sound the sirens on the cranes at work.
good video Chris if I wasn't 5 hours away I would come and help you Buddy
Watch out for them flying golf balls Chris. I used to work on a golf course in high school. Dirty no goods always seemed to hit your way while you were working.
Good clean work!

Great video Chris, Although the backup beeper is a pain in the ass it's there for a reason
Merry Christmas to you and your family & Crew!!!
Your Exhaust pipe is now the 20th hole, after "playing" the 19th hole for a few hours of course :P
Hopefully that beeper is more annoying to the spacey job site worker that might not be paying attention. That could be a business ending accident. love you channel bro. Keep em coming.
Just some advice, when you track along to help the pins roller sprockets ect, not wear out as fast if you bring our boom and stick closer to the cab, as it keeps the weight more centred
I would have thought Volvo's had a switch in the cab to turn off the travel alarm. I would cut the wire to it too. hahaha!
Look for the fuse that controls it. JUST SAYING. You do great work. Keep the vids coming
did you film when the tree fell in the irrigation line?
haha no, didnt even know i hit it till about 15 minutes later i came back to get another tree and saw a river
Chris, in a future video would you explain the controls of one of these machines for someone who has never operated one. Thanks.
chris maybe instead of taking the beeper out you can trace its wiring back to the foot controls. there has to be a wire ran to the pedals that is conmected to a electrical solinoid that detects when the pedals are pushed to activate. maybe you can cut the wire to kill it
How much of the restoration of this site is included in your contract? I mean besides closing up the tree holes and the the tree limb debris?
Which machine are you running these Days Chris ? are you going to catch up with Copper Head Marine this Christmas ?
How do you like the 220 compred to the 210?
Is that Prestonwood CC ?
Not so bad if you're getting paid by the hour.....thanks for the videos
What you need is a cut off switch so when DOT(or whatever you have there) can’t catch you
where is the golf course ???
wheeled excavator could be better for that dragging, but it would slow you down when you have to put the feet down
don't need to put the feet down that much honestly
samvt It depends on the weight doesn't it?
FORE!!
i have a stupid question for you. why is it that its rare for an American excavator to have a rototilt or a tilt rotator? Here in Finland (and all over northern europe) it is allmost impossible to find one without it. Is there a specific reason for that?
And of course, i mean excavator used in America, not American made excavator.
Golf course job huh? You thought that those kids had a good time bashing out your windows, wait till the duffers get a look at that big yellow beeping target.
PS. You may want to wear a catchers mask to work. LMAO !
someones breaks a window out of my machine they'll have a golf club sticking out of their ass too
letsdig18 better yet take that damn beeper and drive it up their ass with the club. Lol but record it we want to see it!!!
HA!!!
you gotta talk to logger Wade and get a skidder out there.
They should have a switch for that beeper when you are working alone and no danger of running over anyone,, you are right, they are annoying,
Take the beeper, leave it in a bucket of oil/water and re'install it. It quit working!
You'd think the excavator would come with a reverse camera
All in the name of Golf. Hit and go find. They must have a lot of money to do all that. Good for the economy I guess.
Someday I too will get to destroy a golf course... then I can die happy.
maybe I'm lucky, every Volvo I've rented in the past 8 years has had a beeper alarm silence button on it.

yup you will start to tune them out if you are around them long enough.

I dont think i insulted you in any way. And marry christmas to you also. May the annoying alarms go silent in 2017 :p
Now there's a funny line . Hahahaha.
Where is the 160 and the 140
on other projects
yeah I hear what you mean? that is a annoying beeping sound...lol
