I am watching all your front end loader videos so when I go again i prove I am capable on drive a front end loader even though I am 56 years old and a woman
I wish there was someone like you guys to learn from when I was a pup. I had to learn via the school of hard knocks - very expensive and painful schooling. If you didn't listen you had to feel and I can still feel some of those hard learned lessons yet today.
Yeah...lots of us have learned that way!
The other day, I spent six hours in an old Cat 963B track loader, about only my third time in a front end loader type vehicle and the first where I moved substantial amounts of dirt, and concrete remnants. This tip is 100% and I learned it myself due to initial poor performance in bucket filling. Nice to see it here from the different angles. Great video.
lol im seriously not tryna be a dick but which tip? He said alot lol, im seriously not being a dick though i wanna know what this tip is, i feel extremely experienced but i want to be the best loader operator i possibly can, if you have any other tips. My loader is a cat 982M
This has been so much helpful. I'm a beginner and i was making the same mistake where i curl the Bucket in first before raising the boom while getting the scuping the pile causing the front wheels to spin or lift so now i'm getting better and better each day.
Same to me
Another helpful tip to go along with this video, I believe not many people give thought to snapping the bucket when its full. In doing that it levels the material better and excess falls at the pile, saving you cleanup on the site or in the street. Also after the bucket is full in my experience, it has been a better practice to not bring the bucket down to a low position. Keeping the bucket a little higher keeps the material from spills due to sudden stops or uneven ground. Operating machines in NYC those 2 moves save alot of cleanup time when sudden stops and uneven surfaces are a constant issue.
Yeah that snap of the bucket is such a time saver, I always do it. Or some times, I reverse out. Put it in neutral, than slam on the breaks to come to a complete stop, and all the excess spillage is at the foot of my pile, not all over the quarry floor, for me to hit next time and put unnecessary wear on my body throughout the day, causing me fatigue!
This is an EXCELLENT point! Thanks for sharing!
@@timfagan816 That is where Caterpillar were far superior in the old days they had faster responding hydraulics and you could get that snap easier.
@@Fatamus they sure were, I find the komatsus to be really lazy and slow to react, I was running a volvo l150f for 2½years, and that was a very responsive machine, and you could get the snap every time. Now I run a Hyundai hl770-9 and I love it, such a nice machine. Just hasn't quite got the snap over the volvo or cat, but runs rings around my work mates, wa480 komatsu. Only thing I like better on the volvo, was the detent. When you have your foot on the break, it would still slowly drive into the pile. But send 80% of its power to the boom so you always got a full bucket. On my Hyundai no matter what setting you have it on. It just jumps straight into neutral, and makes for such a hard tiring day. So I just leave it off! And give it the old reverse and shake. To get rid of the loose stuff from the bucket before tramming to the jaw crusher.
Yeah, the snap is important unless you're loading slop. Then it makes a hell of a mess. Hard on the windshield also.
Good morning, I’m at NIT here in Alaska learning how to operate. And I’ll tell ya I’ve watching your videos from pre-op to operating and what not to do. And your really good at explaining thoroughly. Man I love you videos! Thanks for the tips!!! Look forward to seeing more videos.
That's awesome...thanks for the comment!
Heh, I learned this when I was 13 years old in 1973. You should do one on bobcats. You're never to old to brush up on this stuff. Thumbs up to you sir.
Thanks. We do have skid steer training videos but haven’t done one specific as this to loading a bucket. Thanks for the comment!
I should have watched this yesterday....but yet i watch this now and realized i self tought myself exactly how you showed
VERY GOOD tutorial. You explained the HOW along with the WHY....Very effective training!
It is nearly 60 years since I learned to drive a wheel loader, but although machines are more sophisticated now, the process has not changed significantly. I’ve watched many training videos and not seen any that would completely fill the bucket every time regardless of the type of material.
To get a full bucket easily, I was taught to drive into the pile until I felt resistance and then lock the boom lever back, and immediately keep the bucket lever moving, first up and then down and up and down while the boom is slowly lifting and the machine is creeping forward. Then when you curl the bucket back, you see material trickle over the back right across the top.
It is similar to using a hand shovel in hard material where you have to rock the shovel up and down to overcome resistance.
Of course, the above comment only applies with four-wheel drive, and 50 or 60 years ago, many loaders were two-wheel drive, which needed different techniques depending on whether they drove on the front or back axle. Happy days.
Good tutorial sir I'm studying wheel loader and I will follow your technique, I'm a cebuano from Philippines. Salamat. Thanks.
In 1984 I had a Hanomag 44c and it had 2 green lights on the dash, if the two lights were out the bucket was level. Hanomag were years ahead of everyone else at that time.
Great video. I opperate that same loader. Not for dirt work but for unloading logs. Mine has forks and a grapple. Awesome loader.
Thanks for the comment!
When loading a more coarse material such as large rocks. I find it best to start in second gear with the bucket to the ground, push into the pile, drop to first gear, hold down the gas and lift the arm at the same time as you curl the bucket. The arm won't lift on its own but when the bucket is curled it will. Once it lifts a little, keep pulling it up and curl the bucket back out as you hold the brake. This will allow the blade to dig further into the pile. Keep repeating until you're at the top of the pile and curl your bucket all the way back. Bring the arm down and back out a little. Then curl out the bucket just a little, back up, and slam the break at the same time you curl the bucket back fast. This will set everything in the bucket and let the excess fall off. It's the best way I've found to go about a very rocky material
You are an employee I would never allow on my equipment. Going into weight in 2nd gear? Youre fired bud
@@MARALAGO2024 that's how I was trained by two different people and that's how the boss man wanted it done. Had to leave that place tho. Very toxic management
@@kalebjones5891 youre a fool!
I love your Komatsu videos..... iam planing to use you equipment in my future business
Awesome to hear...thanks for the comment!
Your komatsu equipment is leading the industry
Thank you , your videos have helped me a lot as a new operator 👍👍
I drive a 470 and a 500 Komatsu I was trained to go into the pile in first gear. Your thoughts and advice would be most helpful
Do you have a video of how to push up material to make a big stockpile with a wheel loader?
This so amazing , I want to more experience on this
Lovely video 😍😍as a plant operator myself, am impressed with the way you're explaining
Thank you!
You're welcome
❤❤@@HeavyMetalLearning
Looks like they welded additional plates of steel on the bucket to increase the volume of material it can scoop! Badass idea
I like these learning videos . Thank's !
You’re welcome...thanks for the comment!
Great video thanks for the help
Hi brother good information
The main key is to hit the pile in second gear drop down to first start your lift and curl and continue moving forward.
When I have 50 trucks to load I don’t have time to go slow
Thanks for the comment!
@@HeavyMetalLearning similar to using a bobcat
@@pdbabe but if u are in a higher gear you wont be able to penetrate the pile..and loading 50 trucks is just a matter of going in reverse and turning then going forward and dumping..im confused by your comment
Very helpful.
Thank you very much!
Hi Guys,
There's a Bot channel commenting on your videos. Name of Tom.
Stay healthy this Easter and I look forward to the next earth moving video. Cheers :-)
Thanks for the heads up!
The Return to Dig function often stops working as the machine gets older so it's wise to know how to level it by eye.
wow so amazing
Can you do another lifestream we can get the tour
We’ll see if we can do it.
Bravo
Can you make a video there you show how to Get over something you can’t drive over. Like something that are around 90°
Huh? Give me a better example?
Heavy Metal Learning i dont know how to describe it. If you think that you have to get to a place. But something is blocking the way, you can’t drive around it, so you have to go over it. It’s like opposite of going over a trench. I’m not that good in English, I’m just a 14 year old heavy equipment operator
It's so interesting
Very nice video
Good video 💯
Thanks
What should you do when the tipping speed is to low ?
Hi sir what is the best gear when you curl the bucket.. I used only first gear when I started to curl up the bucket then I reverse for second gear to load dump trucks
Most of the newer hydro static transmissions won't matter as much, because they will still shift down. But I am usually in 2 when loading trucks.
OK sir tnx for nice information I only used Komatsu excavator but in wheel loader I used caterpillar machines
Thanks u
the funny thing is when I was told to pick some stone up I did it exactly how you have done it I was told that was wrong ps he did not pass me on my first test having another test end of july wish me luck different guy teaching me
🔥🔥🔥
Thanks!
Does that work for a wheel loader that's one size smaller with stone
Tbo..ive run pretty much every type of pay loader and there is not a machine more bouncy,more unstable than the komatsu..lets forget the fact that most of the machines still in the field are opposite controls
👍👍
Thanks for the comment!
i have 12 year experience wheel 988h loader operator
good teacher am a wheel loader operator can you employ me
Yeah but you came back and smashed a cylinder stop and that’s bullshit
Not sure if I would call that bullshit...but you make a point
I want to job lodar jod
Step one....take off the vest...
I’m afraid to ask what step two is....
@@HeavyMetalLearning haha...now i realized that sounds wierd.
Jobs
H
This man always like talking to much without teaching
Ripping steel you curl low like that for big returns
Good tutorial sir I'm studying wheel loader and I will follow your technique, I'm a cebuano from Philippines. Salamat. Thanks.
Thank you!
