Doesn’t remove the operator it just gives a good hand more tools to be even better, it’s change and you can either get in line or get out of the way because eventually you’ll need these skills to get a good operators job!
Im 35 years old school digger op. I was scared of top con but wen i got more confidence with the numbers roolling over i did realize the advantages.and 35 years behind it no one could keep up
@@someguy920 I was lucky to grow up with heavy equipment. My dad took rien of my grandads when he passed at young age. I was hopping on equipment @ 10 yrs old. When I was 12 I was pushing hard pan in the pit with TD20 during summer. Unfortunatley my dad followed grandads health and liquidated. We three sons were to young to take over. The economy at the time soured as well then too. But we had great childhoods.
I didn’t learn to operate so a computer can do all the work. Takes all the enjoyment out of a day’s work. I wonder what it would do when it hit rock? I used to watch my dad dig sewer line on grade. We used a laser for grade in the ditch. He’d hit rock, jump it, get back on grade and keep digging till the rock was shot out. Sometimes up to 150 feet of ditch later. After he cleared the shot debris, the laser showed everything he dug without it was perfect. Let’s see a computer controlled toy do that.
Its just alot nicer to have gps dozers on job like the excvators hog it out leave it little high let the dozer get it to grade I've used trimple in a hoe not worth it in my opinion maybe in future
I like to see the advancement for sure but it did look like it was a little glitchy when he started moving faster. I’m sure that was probably because he outran the amount of flow the machine would put out but it still looks like a hell of a good deal to me. Even if it’s got to run slow to be accurate I would think it severely increases efficiency just due to not having to take multiple cuts to get to grade.
excavator fun wow.. you’ll have to elaborate on how you’ve ran a machine for 30k hours when it hasn’t even existed for 30k hours. You must be a time traveler.
@@strangefruit8776 I don't have to run it to see it's only made for perfect digging situations , anyone who has my hours in a hoe knows its not useful in 90% of the soils I work in!
So now what... we just replace skilled operators with surveyors and millennial geeks with computers running around the site trying to re-boot the computers when on of sensors goes bad ????? What a fucking joke !!!! Can this system actually tell that machine how to pull some ragged mis-shapen rock out of a trench?
Ya, whats the cost? Who pays when it runs away with itself, computers are soooh reliable. Does it grease itself too or is that coming soon? Put it in ledge for shits and giggles.
@@someguy920 Real convenient but I like the hands on touch and feel. I got up to Cats battery gun but it was a hassle too. Plus I walk by a machine and grease jumps on me so even auto grease wouldn't help me stay clean. LOL
Why have u got different ,elevations on slope ,while in auto mode,,such crappy work,now it,ll take a really grt operator to strait,n it up,plus doing the work all over again,what did u save ,,nuth,n u cost the contractor more money,in machine &operator expense, plus the cost of all that crappy ass GPS system ,,what a waste,every which way!!!!,,,my 55 yrs. Experience, that,s Bu,,,l S,,,,t!!!!!!!
Laughable, CAT has this technology standard from the factory. No need for a 60000 cab kit. That aside, this is great technology not meant to replace an operator, but assist the less skilled ones.
Excavator that digs itself 10 times slower than a experienced operator
I put a lot of hours on a new cat 320 with the same kinda set up. It doesn't replace experience and skill. I turned it all off. Way too slow.
Thank you my friend, big businesses would love to cut more jobs if they could.
I think there will always be a role for a finish grade operator but the more basic stuff like mining earthmoving will be automated
@@jdig1984 How sad
Anyone else notice the hitachi filter on this John Deere?

Forget that crap too slow you can drive an excavator or you cannot !

The equipment has to make up for all the short comings of the "operators" coming out of the "schools"
Hah, my school was long days ,hard knocks and cold beans. Is that still offered these days? Oh ya, endless winters too!

John Deere has had some kind of a control system for almost 15 years

Well as long as they can't fix them selves before I retire in good
These seems like it would take a while to get familiar and efficient with, but would be nice to have
We have autonomous full function level 5 autonomy with no operator no intervention
The guy in the cab is no operator, he’s a sales rep that’s it
Hilarious!
Someone should tell Parker Schnabel about this!!
And this is why it's hard to find good OPERATORS. It's all getting to computerized.
Very hard find good 0peraters to perth wa
Deere finally came out with this? I’m sure Cat has had that feature for about 6 years now...
Wrong.
KOMATSU!
topcon not deere
Komatsu has had this since 2013.
Komatsu system stroke sensors built into the cylinders,far superior to any add on system
Let’s see it do proper work not just playing in dust....Looks like a theme park toy kids playing in sand
Congratulations instead of the operator making 25.00 an hr. Now he makes 7.00 🤣🤣🤣🤣
👍
must suck to make 25 a hour
I am old school
In soviet Russia digger drives you 🤣
Love to hav a go at it perth aus

I can cut grade in a deeper cut with a wrist a twist first try every time even in rocky conditions , a good operator willl make this tech look useless
That’s a bold statement from someone that’s probably never ran this machine.
Strangefruit oh really only 30000 hours

What a waste of time
I here operators being contanly acaused of being useless so maybe there not as bad as they makeout they are if they condemn this technology
Mybe lots operaator can do that better than computer control....many year i operate excavator and i get better result from this
Hitachi filter
Anto Levo John Deere is Hitachi
Never knew that
Good grief look at all the crap that can and will go wrong .. Get 2-3k hours and see how well it works..

Technology gone too far with this one!!
Bet with the program man ,stup
Ausmerican accent lol
Slow and rough
Were fucking up all this automation. We need to be finding ways to create more jobs not eliminating them for our ever increasing world population.

Blade Runner they have machines that greases themselves....
@@quinnhenshaw7293 ya. I know but no eyes on the grease system. Greasing provides PM as you watch the grease and look for cracks, leaks etc.

You want to experience something worth purchasing.
