1:10 Anyone else think around now, that he was going to extend the arm straight out, and thereby tip and balance it on that blade? Awesome skills there.
You would have LOVED working with me. Warehouse/forklifts….but same concept. I made everyone else’s job easier. Except of course, mine. Pay was terrible…..reason why I had to leave.
I do this everyday except my track base is long enough I don’t use my blade to land, and I also place a 2x6 underneath my bucket so I don’t scratch the road. No need for someone to move the truck, I do it all from the excavator cab
i was thinking about the road, the damage to the hydrolics which aren't designed for this, the danger to himself, and the violation of the whatever the european version of OSHA regulations are.
Would this method cause undue stress to the excavator boom links, and the bulldozer blade links? Not to mention also the high chance of the blade cutting edge slipping, since at one point of the maneuver, it's the main contact point to the road preventing slippage and tipping
I mean you usually have the weight on the bucket during this, curling it all the way in and sliding it along the pavement isn't ideal. Its possible the blade could slip, but excavators are commonly used to drag massive cages in trenches, pull the excavator up a hill, cross over curbs/pipes/trenches.
The excavators face this sort of pressure pretty regularly and are built to stand pressures from all angles, I doubt it is significantly more damaging than a regular day
No. For those thinking this might be hard on the machine, the stress on the machine is actually very low when doing this, because it’s only supporting the machine weight, and that’s balanced. There are not even any shock load, the forces are all nice smooth and straight. (no twisting) This may look dramatic, but when an excavator bucket is digging into stone or hard ground (called tear out) the normal tear out forces will be at least 3 times more than ever occur doing this and the biggest risk is actually the digger or the truck driver making a mistake with the controls. You could put some wood under the blade or reverse the truck up to a soil bank to make it better thats all. This task is not for a novice, but its quite easy for any normal operator who is unlikely to get this wrong. Compared to some digging applications, eg working on slopes its actually relatively easy for any experienced operator to do this. In respect of the machine. If a machine is ever being overloaded a relief will open and the machine either wont lift or will slowly lower until the pressure reduces. For example if something heavy the machine can barely lift is picked up close in and then the boom and dipper are extended out the machine protects itself (all brands) This is because all hyd circuits on any machine brand have a locked line relief valve designed in (called an Auxiliary relief valve or ARV) in each circuit to protect the rubber hoses from force multiplication (burst pressure) if the machine was anywhere near to being stressed

I have a excavator similar to this I'm done the same thing and people watched me in amazement thinking I was going to drop it out of the back of the truck good job my friend. It takes some guts but it's not that difficult if you've done it before and you know how to operate the machine. Again good job
I have been in cliffside positions like this a number of times using an excavator, and would have done it differently as to reduce the amount of damage on the asphalt by not dragging my bucket on it like that, and i believe it would have been possible to do it without a driver having to pull away like that by raising the blade, and pulling away the moment the tracks touch the ground, while articuluating and lowerering the other end out from the dump truck and safely flat on the ground. Getting down is the easier part. Getting back in there without a driver helping out would be more a bit more difficult to perfect, but still possible. With a little more practice, I am sure this operator could have done it all on their own.
I own one of these machines and although I’m impressed with his skill I would not be impressed to see my Kubota unloaded that way. The load on the bucket and particularly the curling ram would be pretty extreme. Beyond that you need someone else to drive the truck away. So my score is three for skill and -3 for common sense!
1:36 as soon as I saw that I knew they would pull the truck forward and the excavator would ease itself down. Until that point I was just in the dark as everyone else. I'm surprised the machine could handle that awkward weight distribution without damage.
I used to work for well drilling company. We had an equipment operator that have been working for that company for 25 years. He literally walked off the farm got that job is an equipment operator and it was the only job he ever had. And he used to get the excavator on and off the truck or on and off the trailer by doing just exactly that.
As someone who worked with hydraulic machinery in warehouses for about 40 years, the man does have skills but I’m not sure if this is the standard procedure for transporting this particular piece of equipment.

That's a "Pro" at Work, and this is taught at all good Heavy Equipment schools !! 👍🚜
That was my guess too but I don't think it would have worked
I was waiting to see that 😂
You could but its impossible to then rest it down gently.
The best motivational video for dealing with adversity that I've seen in a long time...
Wow, this video looked doomed for trouble based on what I thought, but it goes to show you can learn something new everyday.
Pure skill👌🏿. Being on a job site with a guy like this makes things easier all day
You would have LOVED working with me. Warehouse/forklifts….but same concept. I made everyone else’s job easier. Except of course, mine. Pay was terrible…..reason why I had to leave.
Till the day It goes wrong !
How to void your warranty in one easy video
Alot smoother to just use ramps.
You would have LOVED working with me also
I do this everyday except my track base is long enough I don’t use my blade to land, and I also place a 2x6 underneath my bucket so I don’t scratch the road. No need for someone to move the truck, I do it all from the excavator cab
All I was thinking about was the road being scraped up.
Me Too He fucked the road up
i was thinking about the road, the damage to the hydrolics which aren't designed for this, the danger to himself, and the violation of the whatever the european version of OSHA regulations are.
@William P did you watch the video? he literally was tearing chunks out of the road. how oblivious can you be.
I am pretty sure thenroad is part of the construction work there and will be ripped open anyway
@@SelfDestructionWorldwide I hope so but if not that poor road
Are they there to fix the road or tear it up?
How does he get it back on?
How does he get it back on the truck?
Well, that was surprisingly interesting.
The best part is the driver of the truck walking right behind him
You should watch the big ones get themselves onto train cars.

Yes, I would hands down void his warranty if one of my customers did this with thier machine. No questions

Probably the boom will be more stressed when digging rocks. But what's the tilt rating?

Escavators are the most amazing things. I almost always click when i see a recommended excavator video
If it works, its brilliant. If it fails, its idiotic. What an enigma to be both at the same time.

Love to watch a skilled operator

Nope
I believe you couldn't
Nicely done 👍
I didn’t search for this .. but I watched it all 👍
Bravo. Even better will be watching how he gets his digger back on the truck!

Well it ain’t your Kubota now, is it? This man obviously knows what he’s doing. He could care less about other people “rating” his methods on TH-cam.
1:56 after all that professionality he hit the house
That's a "Pro" at Work !!! 👍
And taught at all good Heavy Equipment schools !!
Pretty slick! He's definitely no novice! Good driving!!
Very clever ... Who will repair the damaged asphalt afterwards? Yeah, nobody. Congratulations. I think a ramp would be easier.
Bravo operating! Not only do they have the excavator but they have the dump truck too!
This would be better on soft ground so nothing gets damaged. It is a masterful display of excavator control non the less.
Quite the display of ingenuity and skill
Bravo ! Je pense qu en mettant des rampes ça irait un peu plus vite !
Saw such a thing in the real life. But without slipping and truck was moved by excavator. Awesome!
Well done TH-cam recommended.. i liked this one
Utterly amazing! I kept waiting for a crash that never happened!
Great Video👍 Very cool terrain
SMARTEST THING I'VE EVER SEEN 😲😲😲😲
What a pro, my hubby works with excavator all day, I love running it, fun fun
Saw this done in person and thought it was the coolest thing I had ever seen.
Bravissimo👍👍👍👍👍
Real good work
That was genius!
Truly a master of his craft.
は〜〜なるほど😱凄いの一言🎉
Schön,wenn man seine Maschine so beherrscht 👍
That's someone who knows how to use mechanical advantage. Cool!
That was pretty cool! Pretty smart
I am so impressed right now I love this kind of stuff and I'm a female I just think this is so smooth super good job dude impressive.
When results matter, hire the professional! Respect!
no proffesional would even end up in this situation rofl
Great stuff. Would be nice to see it going back on the truck .
Achievement Unlocked: Damage Truck Bed.
Damage road
Excellent! Very smart!!👍👍
Amazing but on screen it looks like the tarmac got damaged. If it did they could have easily prevented that.
THIS WAS AWESOME. Seriously this was awesome
Amazing. I kept wondering how he put the excavator in the first place until the end.
would laying down a sheet of plywood possibly prevented the damage to the asphalt?
I have no idea why this was in my feed? But damn, the skill level is elite.
That's pretty cool.
Give this guy a raise.
Beautiful job! And hats off to KUBOTA! For the best equipment on the planet earth!
This is what we call a pro gamer move
That's a skill!!! Awesome. 👍
Alle Ehre . Echt super . Seid echte Experten . Respekt .👍
This is pretty common method I’ve seen it loads of times but still cool to watch
Nicely executed , dangerous as hell , but nicely executed .
Yeah thats cool and all, but is not anyone else triggered by that jarring line now embedded in the path?
Wow. I thought he will fall down. That was awesome.
1:36 as soon as I saw that I knew they would pull the truck forward and the excavator would ease itself down. Until that point I was just in the dark as everyone else. I'm surprised the machine could handle that awkward weight distribution without damage.
Dude has skills and a great piece of equipment. 'Trailers. We don't need no stinkin' trailers.'
Skill
I used to work for well drilling company. We had an equipment operator that have been working for that company for 25 years. He literally walked off the farm got that job is an equipment operator and it was the only job he ever had. And he used to get the excavator on and off the truck or on and off the trailer by doing just exactly that.
Just genius 😱💖👍
Wooow smart guy ! ingenious thinking when you don’t have a ramp to download the excavator !
Gut gemacht
A true master of his craft.
I'm guessing...and I know nothing about earth-moving machines - but a ramp would have gotten this guy out a lot sooner so he could start working?
Somebody give this man a raise!!!!!!
Cool! But would it had been way easier to just use a ramp…🤔
That is a work of art.
Props. That’s skill right there.
Thats an operator right there👍 i just seen a show of skill, even though i think a simple ramp would suffice.
Everyone does that.. basic skills nothing fancy at all.
No Excavators were harmed in the making of this video .
Not sure how many are on the scrap heap until he perfected that.
Phenomenal!! 👏🏼… so how does he get back on?
100% he's not the owner of this machine.
As an Operating Engineer in the US I am impressed by this guy's talent 😱 Incredible job 😘
This guy is a Legend!
Wow 😳 pretty cool.
That was pretty damn slick dude!
I wonder how this process came about in the first place? Was it first done out of necessity, or was it first done as a 'parlor trick'?
Amazing, its Funtastic
Cool but the amount of time doing it you could of had 2 ditches dug up still pretty cool though got a bit nerve wracking in the middle
That was brilliant. But in the U.S., OSHA would have an absolute fit.
That’s one smooth operator
Who else got this in their recomended 6 years after??
As someone who worked with hydraulic machinery in warehouses for about 40 years, the man does have skills but I’m not sure if this is the standard procedure for transporting this particular piece of equipment.
Champion!!🎖🏆
Hill Billy's rule again 💪🏼
That is a pro ....hands down the most skillful display of operating that machine
Can he get it back in there?
Great use of the power of leverage!!
Wonderful. Works a treat…..until the day when it doesn’t, and someone gets hurt.
Ein Meister seines Fachs...ich liebe Baumaschinen, und wenn sie auch noch perfekt bedient werden, dann ist das ein Gesamtkunstwerk😁
