Never seen anybody so quick with switching out buckets, good job!
Just takes practice
Bruh you’re so good at your job 😂 I just watched the whole video for no reason on a Saturday evening. You are a beast
Hey thanks for the compliment!! I’ve been doing this a very long time and I’m very passionate about it . It’s nice to be noticed 🤜
i could watch this for hours honestly, good driving skills
Thank you I appreciate that! It’s nice to bring ppl into my world I’ve spent a lot of years in the machine ✌️
I operate cat 983 in quarry. And It takes alot of experience to move that smooth and fast. You road ways are clean and your piles are maintained perfectly. Awesome to watch someone so efficient.
What a nice compliment Thankyou ! Most people wouldn’t notice those little details or know how hard it is to keep a yard clean. Always wanted to try out a big Cat the 983 must be a lot of fun.
Impressive. Surprised people don't argue with the loader operators about how much they get like they do with us!
Thankyou ! I do get ppl sometimes argue with me but I’m always giving more than I should rather than even buckets
I miss this have done it for 10 years best time of my life
It is a great job if you like this kind of stuff . I appreciate it every day ! Thanks for the comments 😀
Nice! having someone call out each load speeds things up a lot when you don’t have to communicate with each driver!
Man such a smooth operator he's going for each load that the person is telling him to get for everybody that's getting materials he's dropping one front loader bucket to get another one amazing operator skills
Hey thanks for noticing the little details !! I take a lot of pride in my work .
@@Getsoil who is that who is giving you each batch of material is that a part of your family or no. Also what types of material do you load mostly.
@@Getsoil where are you located
That sliding bucket change at 8:58 was great! Haha
That’s awesome you noticed that ! Thankyou haha
This is what you call ..... "A Smooth Operation" !
This experience not come easily , you are great thx
Thank you for watching ! Took me 20 years to get this good
Superb skills. Thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching!
The driving skill is amazing.
Thank you for noticing! Been doing this a really long time
This is mesmerizing
Thanks ! I’m happy you feel that way. Been driving for 20 years now !
this is seriously impressive man
Thankyou !! I take a lot of pride in my work and I’ve been doing it a loooonnngg time. It’s nice when someone recognizes what’s going on.
On a busy day, I guess you don't even know when your day ends. nice work. congrats from Chile.
Your right! It’s a great job but it can get tough sometimes with the long hours. Usually busy like this for May and June. Thanks for watching !
que facil se ve, yo en mi trabajo manejo una loader algo mas grande, para cargar cáscara de avena, y es muuy dificil llevarla con la fluidez y suavidad que se ve a este hombre manejar. Buen video y buen trabajador!
Thank you !!!! 😁
Yo you brought Nascar to heavy equipment operating 😂
love the music
Cool video, well done!
Thank you very mulch!
i wish i could be living like this
Your a good operator...I hope they are paying you accordingly...
Family business they treat me well! I’ve been here for over 20 years very lucky 🍀
Id totally be in there singing. Probably air guitar too. Trucks would just have to wait.
If efficiency and experience had a baby its this guy
i barely started a job with loaders. i hope soon i can operate it as smooth as you. great job tho!
First just get really familiar with the machine by listening,feeling and watching everything that’s going on. It takes a while for it to feel natural but it will come. Just focus on being smooth and the speed will come naturally . I’m Happy to help you with and tips or questions you might have. Congratulations on the job!
@@Getsoil will do man and thank you! i appreciate it!
I used to be the loader operator for a large hotplant op and it was like this all day nonstop in 4th gear feeding that bastard but the days went fast until they went into the night but they always bought dinner on those really long nights
Hey sorry for the late reply I took a break for a month. It’s hard being in the machine for very long periods of time . Definitely gotta have some good tunes to get you through!
I run a cat 980 and 982. Just got a new john deere 844l. 982 and 844 are both joysticks controls. I thought i would hate it. But i love it. I have too stay in a loader for 12 hr shifts. I work at a big sand mine. Our mine goes way back inside the hill. Under the main highway. Only lights u got are on the loader and big haul trucks. No daylight radios dont work. Because u are under ground that far. We run bigger buckets than factory.
That bucket on the 924 looks small.
Wow that sounds really cool working in there. No radio and 12 hours gotta be tough ! Always wanted to try a bigger loader
@Getsoil i run my blue tooth. Phones won't work underground. I like a cat loader better. Only think sucks about it. U can't get out of the loader. Like other people do. Have to feed a hopper. For 20 minutes, then the line is down for 10 minutes. The john deere burns from 80 to 110 gallons fuel in 12 hrs. Cat doesn't burn that much. I sure like the joystick steering. I like the quick attached bucket set up that you run.
@ozark_trapper man it’s so frustrating sometimes when you can’t get out. Especially if you have to go to the bathroom. I’m stuck when it’s busy . Sometimes I load a hopper with soil but for the most part I load customers with product. We have 40 different materials so that keeps things interesting. Are you loading in the dark all year around ? Would be tough not seeing the sun
@Getsoil no we blast on the surface too. When the line shuts off. Sometimes, there are haul trucks to load. We run big haul trucks. I work at the crusher a lot. It dont shut off in 12 hrs. Fill it up, and u have time to eat. Or goto the bathroom. I like the controls on your cat.
Smooooooth, the james bond of fromt end loaders
I love this comment ! Thank you 😊 I always try to be as smooth as possible While listening to this song . Sade - smooth operator
@@Getsoil ya gotta give credit where credit is due
Nice video man
Thank you !
So effortless it almost seems like its apart of his body
Thankyou for noticing
Good shit bro
Thanks 🤜
Very good big boss 👍💖💐🌹
Thankyou !! ✌️
The fact that you're loading that what is that a Chevy 1500 with a 924 you earned my respect how long was the bed on that truck?
Looks like a 6.5 haha man I miss the 8 foot boxes!
Good evening, very good job. Excuse me, when you load the material, do you use the brake to reduce the effort of the loader arm?
If so, does the brake use it completely at 3/4 or 1/2 tread
please I will be attentive to your answer
Hello thank you for watching ! When I load material I hold my foot down on the brake and use the accelerator to give the arm more power if that’s what you mean ?
Man I wish all the material I loaded was in the same area like this
It does help but sometimes working in a small yard is very difficult haha
good driver
Thankyou really appreciate that! ✌️
3:21 sledgehammer by Peter Gabriel in the background
Damn, these movements are fast and smooth, how long have you been at this job?
Thanks for the compliment ! I’ve been doing it for over 20 years now . I started when I was 13. Been driving this specific machine 924g since 07. Over 11000 hours in just that machine alone.
Liked video 👍👍
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍 good job 👏
Thanks it’s crazy busy in the spring! Do you drive machinery ?
@@Getsoil yes sir I'm loader driver here In Sweden..
Volvo L90 and Volvo L150
What materials do you work with ?
@@Getsoil I work everything I have experience for 14 years with loader
@@Getsoil The thing I do most is gravel crushers and loading trucks with gravel and sand
Do you prefer the column shifter to the joystick shifter?
I used the joystick shifter forever but than I got really bad Carpal tunnel in my thumb so I had to switch to the column. I found the column was more fun anyway with the timing of the machine going back and fourth so often.
Why not use your selector switch on the bucket and boom control? You would be even smoother lol . Nice video
I did for many years but I have bad carpel tunnel in my thumb now. I use it for an hour and my hand hurts for days lol
Very crafty and not his first day. He loaded the pickup at an angle instead of going in square to the body and didn't spill a drop.
Thank you !
We use one of these for snow removal too bad it’s beat on and has low comp
Yeah these things take a beating especially in winter. Fortunately we don’t use ours in the winter. Mine is still getting pretty old it’s an 06 with 11 000 hours on it. I just try to baby it most of the time. Repairs are very expensive lol
@@Getsoilyeah I run the case 821b we have it’s my personal favorite machine
It's ok to just throw it in forward and reverse that quick?
I asked caterpillar that same question and they says yes these machines have a special transmission. I try my best to be easy on it and i coast in neutral a lot .
@@Getsoil Even in my vehicle I try and come to a complete stop before switching, yet I see people do it all the time and I've always wondered. With equipment thought, it seems everyone does it, which made me start to wonder.
My machine is getting pretty old it’s a 2006 with over 11000 hours. We just got a smaller machine to save money. There’s a new hydrostatic system which uses the hydrolock system to shift back and fourth . It takes some getting use to but you can tell it’s a better system overall. It really amazes me how much abuse these machines can take and just keep going !
Joystick bucket control is the worst.
Hahaa yeah I have carpel tunnel
Why not just have one medium size bucket. Never seen so many bucket changes.lol
We sell 1 yard or half yard . It would be great if we only had 1 bucket and everyone got the same amount ! That would make my job so much easier haha
Think he ran a rock at 6:01
Shaking the bucket to make sure it was attached after switching from the stone bucket.
black market
what does 150 50 50 mean
It’s the name of one of our products.
Please my friend, Less music, and more engine. Thanks for The video!
Noted!
I am loader operator
It’s a good life
I am from Ethiopia i live in sauth Sudan life is 50%
темп работы сумасшедший! я думаю после смены, во сне вы продолжаете грузить машины))
Your right ! I actually do dream of loading cars haha makes for a really bad sleep !
@@Getsoil Я работал в карьере на CAT 990H, по этому знаю о чем говорю)
Me parece raro que carguen las cajas de sus camionetas aca en Argentina aunque sea una chatarra las cuidan jaja
Thank you ! 😀😃
Me re sorprendió ver eso JAJAJA pero bue, son pickups. Para eso están.
To much bucket Change
The soil was damp and sticky. I don’t have time to get out and clean the bucket. Ppl don’t like soil in their stone.
Nice although the bucket changing is odd to me if u do it long enough u can use any bucket and know the amounts but dude is on it great job
Mainly just need to switch buckets on Rainey days when the material gets sticky . I have a stone and soil bucket to keep the materials from mixing
But I grew up using 988 to load trailers pickups and regular haul trucks just stab a corner
This guy is good tho
