[@juicinggiant391]

On the bucket control joystick the button at your thumb is a clutch in essence ( allows you to rev the motor while still in gear speeds up hydraulic movements with out gaining ground speed). On front of joystick middle finger area is push button 4x4 while holding down ( nice for pushing into pile then letting go and abilities to turn better and not tear up ground also). Side note I enjoy all your videos I have been an operator 10+ yard now I like to watch you for a different perspective and possibly learn new tips and tricks. Keep the mind open I guess is my perspective I am taking...

[@HeavyMetalLearning]

This is excellent information. Not sure if I shared that in the advanced video or not (we already filmed it)...but yes great tips! Thanks for sharing and the support!

[@rawoctane]

It's been some time since I've been on a backhoe. I recall there being a 'detent' position for the loader control. I recall after dumping the dirt out (pushing lever to the right), curl the bucket (pushing lever inwards), push quickly inwards and it goes into a 'detent' lock where the bucket automatically positions itself to be perfectly flat when you lower it to the ground. I think it takes the 'guess' work out of what is flat or not. Also, I recall pulling down dirt with the front bucket at a stockpile before scooping it. 'Aerating' the dirt or rather breaking it up before scooping makes an easier and fuller scoop.

[@timmatteson7897]

Tip for setting up to dig. Before setting the front bucket down first, keep it elevated, drop outriggers first, level out, THEN drop your front bucket. Less stress on the outriggers, they will lift the machine easier. Also, make sure you've taken the front bucket off of float.

[@Nggio]

Thanks for that tip

[@petemiller519]

I have a 2001 JCB 214S, which I absolutely love. It is 4wd with 4 wheel steering, and all four tires are the same size. It's like a loader with a back hoe attachment. Oh yah, no computers, just old school hydraulics and relays. Cheers from Canada, thanks for the vid.

@@malikstricklin4456 operator wages usually depend on hours run, and median wages of your location, if curious, you can check on sites (here i use indeed for finding work, and shows median wages for careers) I am from Alberta Canada so the wage may be different from yours but the median wage for a Heavy Equipment Operator in my area is $34.14/hour (as of April 21, 2022) but would vary on hours of experience. for a first year probably not at median, but at the 3 year mark or 3000-5000 hour mark median would be expected. hope this helps. Cheers!

my buddy sent me a message this morning offering to give me a free load of 5/8 minus but somethin came up and he gave me the pin to start it up and all he told me was that there was an orange toggle to fold the boom up on the right side.

[@kyleenderle6538]

Excellent video. I haven't ran one of these for several years and needed a refresher. Literally everything you said was perfect. Covered everything that needed to be covered in a straight forward way without overexplaining. Backhoes are handy machines like you said but they aren't very good at either function. Why not rent a front loader if you need a loader? Or a skid steer or excavator as the job requires? One thing that should be mentioned is that with these big tires, backhoes can be driven on the road. That's why I needed a refresher is because I need to burry a fuel and propane tank but Airport Equipment isn't able to deliver an excavator and I don't have a trailer big enough to haul one. So I need to drive a backhoe a few miles to get to the job. Just adding to the versatility of the machine I suppose

[@llapaz007]

Helpful video! I watched this to freshen up my skills.This is a much newer and nicer model than the one I use to drive. Next time you do a video, can you do a split screen while digging with the bucket? One from the drivers view, showing the use of the controls and the other the movement of the bucket. I think it'd be even more helpful to be able to see both actions at once. Thanks!:)

[@michaelramsey82]

I'll probably never have occasion to drive one of these, but as an enthusiast of vehicles of all kinds, stuff like this is endlessly fascinating.

[@ChrisRudland-England]

@Heavy Metal Learning Thank you for the video, I was originally trained next to the JCB factory in Derbyshire, England back in 1990. Two-week course and operated a JCB 3CX, brilliant training course but unfortunately no longer exists. Not a criticism on your advice as we are all learning even when we are old :-( but my safety instructions for onsite work, especially on uneven surfaces and slopey ground, always drop your front shovel when you stop immediately, curl it over for digging so you don't get pulled off your mark. I think in soft ground and sand a flat front shovel is ok. Dozing and other front shovel work like loading, levelling and forklift, slide your backhoe boom position over left or right and fold it up as close as possible to the main body. This puts more weight on the front so when you are grading/dozing it doesn't float or wanna lift up on you. Same applies when dragging and levelling backwards, keep as much weight on the front as possible. Thanks for sharing your training tips, they will surely help newbies starting out and provide great information for those wishing to start as a machine operator.

[@HeavyMetalLearning]

This is excellent information and greatly appreciate you sharing it! Haven't run a JCB backhoe but have heard good things. Ran a JCB excavator that I really like (probably one of the quietest and most comfortable cabs).

[@johnobrien2207]

JCB has the 3 in 1 bucket ...Plus the sliding backhoe in most 3cx or 4cxs I think

[@steelrarebit7387]

I learned heavy equipment doing land reclamation of coal fields in Kentucky. Backhoes, dozers, graders, scrapers, front end loaders and excavators. Love to feel the power of the earth moving machines. I don't know if you would call it an advanced technique though moving and lowering or raising the bucket at the same time saves time. Also three point turns are handy to know.

[@pablomills1901]

Am very new to this video but have really learned a lot today, I can’t wait to learned more. Thank you for such training

[@JakubSemoda]

Hi guys, thank you for a great video, to share my experiences, I live in Slovakia, which is country in the middle of the Europe, I love watching theese building, or co struction machines since I was a little kid, and I always loved to watch backhoe working. Funny thing is, I've probably never seen backhoes driving around with boom "sticking" out of the machine to the back. What they always do, after they finish the job, or right after they arrive is, that they swing the whole boom arm either to the side, or in the center. Not with a left joystick, because they don't swing the boom arm left, or right, there's some dedicated button, pedal, or lever, they use, and whole boom arm "slide" to the left, or right. Probably it's some kind of a norm, due to spacing, as it is with semi trucks. J

You’re right about that. I have ran a brand new case backhoe, and it has the old wobble sticks in the front, but it was brand new.

I’ve got a subcompact tractor with a backhoe... I’ve used it for everything from digging trenches to tree trimming (I’ve got a thumb on the backhoe, I can grab a branch and drag it away from the tree or hold it up to cut it with a chainsaw without breaking my back) to loading a dumpster (again, with the thumb).

That was very informative, with great camera work, and editing. I'm a game/simulator creator and KZbin guy for trucks and I was thinking of creating a SIMPLE excavator, Backhoe, and digger app/game. Do believe it would be possible to mimic the movements of the backhoe arm with just two thumbs? From what I can see, the most difficult part to emulate would be the foot pedal where the arm extends out, but using a PS4 controller you could use the trigger and bumper buttons. Obviously, it wouldn't be compared to real life, but do you think it would help people learn the movements with an app like this?

Gonna get my ass a raise now, bout time

[@emmettkelly7465]

On the front loader control, can you do a mix of raising or lowering the bucket, while at the same time changing the angle of the bucket, or is it only one motion at a time? Meaning you raise the bucket 3 inches, then stop that, then angle the bucket, stop that, then raise the bucket some more? Or can you drive both hydraulic systems for raising / lowering and adjusting angle bucket at the same time?

I’ve been operating a Deer 310 for years but last week ours was in service and the owner rented a Case and I just can’t get controls on the excavator down, they are like driving a car in England.
