💪🏿😎🖤💯

Very very outstanding video. Great job. Keep up the good work. We have used one a little. Thanks a lot friend. SC Navy vet. 1965. 🇺🇸😊😅

Hi sir

If working with permafrost soil what techniques would you recommend?

When I was learning , my foreman took the handles off of the track controls which forced me to learn to track with my feet . That really helps with being able to track and swing and do other things at the same time. Besides those handles are just in the way in front of you! I been operating for 25 years now and love doing it. Such a fun job!

Is it industry standard to keep the track drive gears to the rear of the unit when digging?

Much appreciation to the photographer. The lesson is easy to understand

Good i want to learn this machine

Great teacher with a cool persona that builds confidence.

Great video. Keep up the good work.

im going to steal a excavator with this knowledge

Thanks for making this video to enhance people ability, for operating Excavator machine.

miss running the machine and fixing them

someone give this guy a medal

Thank you sir I'm interested to know how to operate backhoe

Instructions unclear, got detained for digging a hole in the great wall of china.

Thank you so much for your help

Now a have my Excavator Certificate from Surmac (CAT)🎊🙏

Clear and confident presentation. Great video!

Seems like a rewarding profession! Never forget the kid who excavated the trench in our garage for installation of our storm shelter. Total boss! I thought to myself: “Man, I’d be proud of my son took up the profession.”

be careful if you spin 6 times in the same direction you unscrew yourself and fall over. stay safe

excellent lesson

You make it look easy.

Nice

I love this video my dream is to become an excavator operator.!

What are the camera mounts that are holding your camera equipment?

Wanting to get some footage for my kids while I’m on the jobsite in the skidsteer and excavator.

Great work

God Bless Brother 🫡

Time to get a heavy equipment job watching this video was helpful information

When travelling(walking) an excavator long distances the implements should be "towered"; boom all the way up, bucket curled in and stick drawn in tight. This puts the weight of the boom, stick and bucket into the centre of the machine, causing the least amount of stress on the undercarriage.

Vielen Dank

Instant fail, reversing or moving and not facing direction of travel. Especially so in this video, with guys walking around. That is UK standard though!!!

Remember compaction and lift heights on backfilling.

Thank you for good teachings

Randy thank you so much for basic training the machine excavator

How much can I make in NY with a escavator license?

Did y'all stop producing content?

Now I know this is the ideal way to operate an excavator and not the true realistic way operstors use it, because the first thing you do in real life would be to turn the radio on.

Digging is easy part, grading and profiling at specific angle is where experience shows up.

Hello Mr.Randy Stenger.
How long can someone take to learn an excavator?
I was interacting with one of the operator in Cameroon,he said for one to learn it can take him 3 years and for quick learners can be 2years?
What do you say about it sir?
Thank you.

I never operated an excavator before but very interested in learning. I am a plumber and I’m always on job site that I’ve sold to dig up sewers, water lines and storm sewers. When ever I get free time in my work schedule I like to go to the job site and watch the operator.


Great video ! Keep it up
