Enhancing Our Roads for Smoother Journeys

[@rw_too]

Ant: “Danny, does that look like an air strip to you?” Danny: “Uh, yeah” PRICELESS! 👍🏻

[@Mag_Aoidh]

Danny is a classic, man of few words!

[@macman231]

As quite and reserved as Danny is, its great to see him smile at a joke as you know its sincere! Also seems it would sure be fun to sit down for a beer with these 3 guys whenever possible, no telling what stories would be told.

My Dad used to teach our new dozer operators with lesz is best. When damsinking, he would show them, stick around long enough to ensure they are safe, that the gear will survive, then jump in the ute and go. He would come back when he knew any mistakes would be retrievable. Let them feel the machine, make mistakes with no pressure. As soon as you become one with the machine you become so smooth on the controls, you feel the machine under you. Then its time to begin the technical side of the job. Enjoying your channel as i have some history out a Prenti. Its gods country.

Danny is brilliant, God Bless Him, ask his advice more often!

[@buildmotosykletist1987]

Danny said THREE words, a record.

[@andrewrobinson2869]

Danny top job young man , Ant keep up the great work. Jack I love what your doing. More people need to be like yourself, well done

[@kevinscully571]

Congrats to all, you have shown a deep understanding that in teaching Ant and Danny that you can have both machines operating increasing productivity, it was also good to see that you Jack have enough self awareness to see that you gain an increase in your own understanding of how to teach others well done.

[@jack_out_the_back]

Thanks 👍

[@Scott6178-l5t]

Awesome job Jack teaching is one the hardest jobs everyone learns differently 👍

[@sidneygower5746]

You’re a legend mate, a real good boss and a good trainer we need more of you

[@granthatcher-yp2wp]

Good stuff yet again 👍👍

[@jack_out_the_back]

Thanks again!

Those trees are a job for the "Three Irish Lumberjacks", "Der Tree Fellers".

[@johnjordan4647]

Hey Jack on stations in Northwest Qld the mounds on the road to divert the water are called Warbouys. Thanks for the video and good to see you are providing an environment for people to have a go 👍

[@williamburns9731]

Yeah WOWBOYS we call's in the eastern states. But you're dead right about diverting water.

[@edug1168]

thanks Dannie, yep that's an air stirp 🤗

[@williamsmith5514]

Are you saying develop a leavy bank to drain off flood waters ?.

[@jack_out_the_back]

Yes, only slow and even, just to keep the road held together.

That gidgee has beautiful grain, it is good for wood turnings. Is there much market for it? wtf, no beer

[@barryjoel2935]

Hi Jack and crew, Interesting how shallow rooted, for a dry area, the trees are that you're clearing . Is this typical for these type of trees? Thanks

[@mickhaight4159]

Have you heard of a fly netting that you put on so flys and other bugs from getting on your face so you can continue with out so many interactions with all that stuff .If you don’t have them maybe we could send you a couple to try .

[@williamsmith5514]

Little D 4 dozer would be Ideal for further teaching Jake !

[@jack_out_the_back]

I'd rather a D7 :P we use to have an old komatsu D60A but she is in retirement at the moment

[@glennbrown1961]

You learn a hell of a lot more by doing than by learning in a class room. These lads will learn how to operate the machinery rather than just drive it! I have seen qualified engineers say "oh so thats what they were talking about" once exposed to certain industrial maintenance processes. They had seen it in books but it didn't relate until they experienced it in the field. Also had engineers give me drawings and say make this. You then ask "how" cos its bloody impossible to build.😅

[@jack_out_the_back]

Absolutely, both aspects need the other, you can't learn it all from theory, and it doesn't quite gel until you feel it properly!

[@clarkneedsaweapon]

Good roads equals good times.

[@Ifyouarehurtnointentwasapplied]

A small work placement building is a good idea

[@eclectic.explorations]

how big feral cats there?

[@PaulZ-mann]

Why doesn’t Danny wear an orange, silver & black shirt. I like Ant, hate to have seen him leave. He does like a full explanation of everything

[@cantwellron11]

I no quite few black fellas they are the best grader drivers ever seam too have a eye for level

[@bobbythompson3544]

Barry Thompson, no relative, over in Wyong brilliant grader driver, we worked at mines over in Musselbrook for the open cuts near Jerrys Plains!

[@RobertSanders-yn2ek]

Why not veer around the gidgees rather than push them out?

[@eddsummat2191]

Instead of putting drainage swales into and across the road why dont you camber the road to the low side so you don't have bumps in the road

[@jack_out_the_back]

I do in some places, but one of the challenges in reworking the existing tracks is the time to put into the re-engineering, this is a "quicker" method and helps in the high rainfall events (where we might get 50mm in a few hours)

[@williamburns9731]

Ant again your showing your public servant years 😂😂😂

[@rogerdeane3608]

Get rid of the Ant and get another Danny he doesn't rudely interject all the time.
