- So today started out like any other Sunday except for we got a weather forecast going now wanted to try that see what people thought love the feedback moving past that we went onto a normal day of work as usual and Mammoth ended up helping a bus that lost control and hit a snowbank got stuck had to pull it out with the loader take a look see how the day went ended up with actually quite a bit of snow on the ground by the end of the day.

owen is right about the hydraulic fluid when the arms are raised the fluid will show low because the cylinders are full. your supposed to check it with the bucket on the ground
As the dogs race to the car you can hear them yell “Shotgun!!”. They make good co-pilots. You must be proud of Owen, he’s filling in a lot of new shoes for you. Take care, hope Feb is not too much of a beast.
Bud and Sadie. The star's of the show....This channel has awesome content but it's the dog's everytime for me.🐾
You know the price of plywood. It was up there so that it would STAY there!!
Owen seems like a good kid...im sure your proud ...Best, Steve
Dogs are great . Looks like he’s the boss sitting in front seat lol .
They probably left the plywood in the air so people don’t steal it. Do that with equipment all the time.
Only problem is you can let it down with it off.
@@GT-mn3bx most you need they key to start or need to know where the manual hydraulic release is
@@jkhuskies09 I've never seen anything that needs to be on to let down the hydraulics. Just move the lever and down it goes.
G T crackheads don’t know how to lower the lever haha
I don't know much about economics but I've got a good share of seat time on cranes and was a carpenter/builder/remodeler all my useful days.
My nickname in High school was "Budget" because I got all "A's" in Recordkeeping so I'm pretty good at minding my P's & Q's.
With soaring inflation and natural (or unatural) disasters the cost of building materials is Skyrocketing to new heights and is halfway there (to the sky) the way they left it.
Boy, that was weak. No comments from peanut gallery needed...I was Second Place Class Clown and you can see why.
Just flip the cabin and check that mainboom valve is stuck! There might be small amount water in the valve and now it's frozen. Hot air gun might help out, but don't plow too much for wires melt down 🤔
Wow! I'm so impressed with how well trained & behaved the dogs are! 😄
When I tell my dog's to get in the backseat...
Dogs:
Shuld be planning a machine shed for your equipment and maintenance if you keep growing 👍
Even I it's just big enuf for the loader and skid steer.
Somthing is jammed or its electrical . Switch . Relay. Wire short linkage problem . Raise the bucket and set the safty lock. Then work on it. Good luck. 👍
Owen seems like great guy. Good attitude. And the doggies are great addition. Keep 'em comin'.
Your dogs are awful cute. Great addition to the channel.
My bet is either the up solenoid is receiving a power signal all the time for some odd reason or the hydraulic part of the up solenoid is stuck open. A schematic sure would help. And even if it doesn't, it'll make other people think you know what you're doing.
Good luck!
That wasn’t a huge bus, it was a Mammoth bus! 😂
great vid keep it up,
I really like the content. One request however: when panning the camera is it possible togo slower ? Not a complaint- just a request.
👍🌻
Your dogs are adorable! lol
More Bud and Sadie and we'll be at a million subscribers by summer time
seems like the bucket goes up when you start it 🤣🤣🤣 (SORRY.. could not resist ;-)
Great VLOG! Can't wait for the next one.
Love all your videos. You make me want to visit Mammoth--just beautiful! Love your happy snow dogs.
And it is close to Yosemite National Park. You can visit the tallest peak of the contiguous USA Mt whitney
Murphy strikes almost every single day. Sometimes it's not if but when. The sooner you have a problem and work through it the better the day gets.
It's not survival of the fittest. It's survival of the most adaptive.
Thanks for sharing! Most definitely it fills an inch.
Thanks for your work, oddly interesting!
Thanks for the video. 👍
Great job on the Bus Owen. a gently pull does the job.
Yay! Great guy 🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🤷♀️🌺🌺
Thanks for the steady stream of videos 👍🏻👍🏻🚜🚜💯💯 Your almost at 10,000 subs.
Luv yur pups.
Too many people for my blood.Houses to jammed together.I remember mammoth 50 years ago,it was great then,affordable too.
When dragging the bus, have the bus brakes on, then it slides towards the loader insted of rolling back into the snowbank
Be VERY careful checking for hydraulic leaks. Even small hose leaks can throw a lot of fluid and the high pressure leaks are dangerous. Do not use your hands to find the leaks. Use a piece of cardboard etc. My first test for the loader would be the control valve.
100%.
My good friend almost lost his arm when a hose ruptured while he was working with it, the jet of pressurised fluid hit his wrist piercing the skin pumping fluid up through the inside of his arm to the elbow all happening in a flash, he didn't realise this at the time. He didn't seek medical attention right away but continued to work for the rest of the day with his wound constantly weeping a mixture of fluid and blood.
That day he went home as usual but 24 hrs later it was a different story, he became very ill and was rushed by ambulance to hospital where he immediately was taken to theatre for life saving surgery, spending several days in intensive care. He now has a scar from wrist to elbow and has a much weakened arm but most importantly he is still alive, the force of the fluid coming from the the pin hole size rupture entered his arm poisoning his blood and almost killed him. I wasn't with him that day but on another occasion was with a work mate when a hose ruptured at a joint while the hose still under pressure, was being wrapped back onto the reel on the rear of the lorry when it blew out. The jet of fluid was so fine I couldn't see it but shut everything down only to discover the fine jet of fluid had hit my work mate in one of his eyes and ripped open seven inches of his flesh from the eye to the top of his head, unfortunately he lost his eye. So everyone, listen to the message and take heed, always wear protection when working around hydraulic hoses especially a hose that is under pressure, respect the danger you are facing, it could one day save your life.
Keep posting great content
I think bud is the supervisor sure seems like it 😂
It was still daylight, you gotta figure out that leak. Don't be afraid, if you wait for real mechanics to fix it you're just an operator. Also,on your skid steer, to get an actual fluid level all elements should be retracted.
If you plan on a future in snow removal in the Sierra, get rid of those skids steers and buy more loaders. I've lived in Truckee since 1985, I wouldn't lie to you.
Maybe they left the plywood up high to limit it from being stolen.
That is exactly why, we used to just take it and rest it up against a tree in about 10 ft up so pin them all in and locked it in for any wind problems.
Bud is awesome
That's electrical, foe it to energize the valve body to raise the boom. It's probably a loose wire as for the loader check to see if the hose loosened up. If you can see if it's a pipe fitting or a jic (cone shape, only tighten to snug and turn one flat or you'll crush the cone and leak). But it may be a o ring face seal and you can replace the oring to seal it.
These newer ones it is 90% electrical. Some are even fly by wire now. Way back it was mostly valves and stuff. Lot simpler.
you want to read the hydraulic level with the boom down and bucket rolled back or essentially all cylinders fully contracted. are you sure that machine doesn't have a return to dig feature? Which would automatically make the boom raise.
Not sure why the boom is going up, but when checking fluid level, definitely have loader arm down and bucket flat on the ground. If you fill it while arm us all the way up, it'll blow out the vent when they come back down.
Dogs are great!
If you use it, it's going to break down. Doesn't matter what it is. Skid Steer problem is most likely a joystick issue.
See everyone else also thinks valve issue. But please don’t let your son jump out of the cab with it bleeding off like that. One split second and it can drop like a rock. Best to wait for it to return to ground before exiting. Crushed nerves in my arm from a bucket drop of 3”. Hate to see something worse happen to you or your son
We got about 4-6" in Carson City today,..
I'm no expert, but the signal for 'up' is being called - either a stuck switch or relay, shorted line (unlikely). You should be able to get a logic diagram for the loader and switches to trace the problem. Good luck.
incredible snow banks as not imagined. When it melts the water flow must be un beleivable. Huge massive Mountian, Volcanic similar to MT St Helens?
U need to put them dogs to work 😂😂😂😂
3:57. Only a few have climbed both sides of that Avi path on sleds in the background. A couple locals and a moto racer from San Diego. Way back he mopped up a few pro classes in Snocross when they had those on the MX track.
Mike you’re mechanic must have left for the weekend
You have ice built up on the solenoids that raise the boom and or the pop-it valve.
And Owen is right about the fluid level
I'm no expert but the valve body may be stuck open for raising the bucket. Hope this helps
You can hear the valve bypassing. I think a valve rebuild will fix it. Disconnect the control wire to the valve if it keeps doing it, its the valve. If it stops its the switch.
The last time there was a huge snow season we were up in July and there was still snow on the ground. That’s crazy to me.
You better call Warren from western truck and tractor repair I watches his channel on YT, he must be close by he was talking about town you reside in, he ad to run out there and fix someone equipment, that young man can fix anything that have something to with diesel or gas engines.
I wish we could get snow like that
It's showing low because all of the fluid is being pumped to the cylinders. That is normal. Always check with all hydraulics at there rest positions. Sounds like there might be moisture in the lines & may have caused the hydraulic manifold to stick
One of the valves or fuses must be stuck on or open for it to do that
Ya know what they say, right? "Never trust a bald barber or a skinny chef." Ya got a bald chef so the food at the Warming Hut must be off the hook!!
I watch you from Siberia and have never seen so much snow. What city, state is it?
Mammoth lakes, California
Definitely stuck hydraulic valve. They are all electric from joysticks. Also only check fluid while arms are down. The fluid goes into the cylinders and will show low fully extended.
switch is stuck or frozen in place.
I think switch that tells bucket up is faulty check it out remove the wires and see if still does it my friend worked on bobcats for longest time as far as leak possible that hydraulic fluid over filled cause it good luck we are getting to get hard on Friday at Tahoe but weather man says rain???
Check your links were they connect from controller to the hydraulics it came loose
If that kid needs a loan to get that Jeep, he can't afford that jeep. Yikes.
What happened with the planned meeting with City Officials over the requirement to pay upfront for dumping at the snow pit?
Please show how trusses can hold that weight
Always k hydraulic fluid with all hydraulic cylinders in !!
Busted hydraulic lines and frozen actuator.
Most machines have to have the bucket and arm in a specific location to properly fill hydraulics….that’s been my experience anyway….you will likely over fill it if the lift cylinders are all the way out (bucket up) and then fill ti “green”. Check mfg specs for the process to properly fill hydraulic oil! My $.02
There is a detent in the valve it is probably frozen
Hey what's up with the Mammoth post office? You have the contract for snow removal, right? I suppose they can't afford to pay to have the snow trucked out and pavement scraped?
Waiting… 🤷🏻♂️
Looks like a valve frozen open maybe?????
There’s a hydraulic valve stuck open it sounds like
Think there is a valve stuck.
Next snow day after this one looks like Feb 3-4.
It sounds like it is in the joystick something might be shorting out somewhere
You should mute your sound also when you punch in the code for your door. There are programs that can deduce the code from the tone of each number you push.
It's probably ice in the valve
Something in the links are Jamed or loose its happem to me and I had a nut come off and jamm in the hydro pump links and levers
Check the joystick controller for a malfunction
Stuck shuttle valve
The return line check it out
Snow removal it’s a bitch on equipment even where I live we get snow but nothing like that. I’ve said it before if we got that amount of snow we’d already be preparing to evacuate over 150,000 people but it’s brutal on equipment and with the skid steer it’s gotta be something electrical or some bad sensor. Nothing else can really explain that.
WOW i run Cat and kubota skidsteer's and that skidsteer shud not do that regardless of a malfunction, i can't believe Cat would have that in the design of that machine, HUGE SAFETY ISSUE you may have found something they are not aware of. Had that been under wires holy shit. or people on the machine. ffs
Tell us again what happens to the bucket when he turns the cat on AGAIN for the 9th time.
5:10. Please throw some towels or jackets or similar on those ropes/chain. When something snaps, pieces come at 200 MPH and it isn't pretty. Just recently a hitch ball mount came through a windshield killing the driver.
Stuck valve
Second
I thought CAT was supposed to be ruff and tough. Looks more like weak junk on a big frame.
thermo couple
Some droneshots of the pit here: th-cam.com/video/HVtCVxLmzK8/w-d-xo.html
Call Quinn
I'm in so much pain so I'm just here to vent
Oh I have many times hint there is only 3 things could be .I'm not on the clock and cant walk right now bad bloodclot in my leg no insurance
Nope I know exactly what it is haha
Oh and I work on Martha's vineyard and you would think all the rich people not many junkies but I'm sure where you're at it's all junkies if your locking 3 office doors or your paranoid .and great idea plywood 20 feet in air no straps to keep in place if wind picked up you would have been fkd
Dude all you did was drive around you didnt do anything
