How to get off the ditch. Backhoe basics.

[@e.l.construction5945]

You need better names for your ditch moves

[@Digginok]

Suggestions? Btw you need to make a new video, jus sayin.

[@Digginok]

[@e.l.construction5945]

Digginok I’m not the one inventing the moves, but I would go with ditch switch or footer flip

Thanks for the float tip! That's going to come in handy! Really appreciate your videos and your skills!

[@Digginok]

No problem, hope it works well for ya! Thank you for watching and commenting.

Been watching your videos for awhile for love and enjoyment of heavy equip, but this spring I got a 1025r tractor with a backhoe. I’ve been watching closer since to help me learn and grow my skills on my 1025r John Deere tractor with a backhoe. I’ve learned a lot since getting it but watching your backhoe videos has helped me with some things and I’m sure I’ll continue to learn from your content and experience. I’ve run skid steers, but backhoes and tractors are new to me, thanks for the informative vids. Nice video as always!

[@MrJoeyplatinum]

I just learned a new trick.....added that one to my arsenal. I like the way you folded up the ramps. I use my grapple tooth to move my gooseneck around in super tight areas.

[@DC-1]

Frank you are a true master....thanks for sharing 👍🇺🇸

[@Digginok]

Well thanks! You are welcome! 👍🇺🇸🇺🇸😎

[@sassafrasvalley1939]

Wow.... gonna have to try crossing with my bucket floating... makes perfect sense.... thus it never occurred to me to try it. Thanks Sensei Frank .

[@Digginok]

Give it a try, I think you will agree! Thanks for watching grasshopper! Lol

[@dmitridrezins8459]

I love your instructional videos. Have operated excavators for 23 years and added a backhoe a few months ago. Read Gary Obers book and watch your videos and have learned a lot. Backhoe is so versatile, but takes a lot more to learn than an excavator. Thanks for taking the time to post these videos.

[@Digginok]

Haven’t heard of Gary Obers, may need to look into that. The backhoe is a bit more complex but if you can use it to it’s full potential it is hard to beat. Thanks for watching and commenting!

[@dmitridrezins8459]

Operating techniques of the tractor loader backhoe by Gary J Ober.

I may need to read it, probably got some more to learn. Thanks!

Backhoe ballet. You could perform at construction equipment conventions. Seriously impressive Frank.

[@Digginok]

Thanks!

[@adriannettlefold9084]

You make it look so easy Frank. I would've had to put on a few cartons for all the pipe and pegs knocked over. I managed to find the only water pipe in the paddock on that last scraper job I did.. 2 boxes of beer to calm the guys who had to fix my stuff up.

[@Digginok]

Well when ya pretty much live in a backhoe it’s pretty easy. Kinda like stepping over a barbed wire fence. Thanks for watching

[@adriannettlefold9084]

@@Digginok funny story about an electric fence.. a mate had a horse get out and so went to saddle up the other horse still in the paddock. He had his riding boots on and decided instead of turning the fence off to stand on it as he lead the horse across... as he was doing said operation, the horse swung its rump round and he took his foot off the wire. The wire flicks up, hits the horse the horse bolts and my mate gets knocked over and charged with the electric fence. 1busted up farmer, 2 horses out hahahaha

[@DaleDirt]

Yeah , That's some good skills there . Thank you I am a beginner , But I am learning .

What is a sliding brake and how does it work?

[@waynecompton7612]

Good morning Frank, Thank you for the video!! And showing how to jump a Footing etc!! Did I notice a JCB 3CX and did you manage to have a go or look around?? Anyway take care and catch you next time 👍😎🇬🇧.

[@Digginok]

Wayne Compton yes it is a 3cx, I got to do a bit with it, seems strong but the rear controls are a bit different in how they swing into position. I’d need a lot more time with one to be fair about a review though. Maybe someday. Thanks for watching and commenting as always!!!👍🇺🇸😎

[@dalepremo3695]

WOW! Now THAT was impressive Frank. Were you using the hover-backhoe again or what? Liked the little ramp lift trick at the end, too. Thanks for sharing, sir!

[@Digginok]

Yes the hovering backhoe is the best. Thanks Dale! Appreciate you watching and commenting.

[@fernandocovarrubiascomander]

How would you do it if there was a 2 ft bench in either side..?

[@Digginok]

Fernando Covarrubias I would not try to dig over anything that wide, would suggest you dig from the side in that case, or plan the dig to end up on a corner.

[@fernandocovarrubiascomander]
