How to Operate a Wheel Loader (2019): Pre-Op to Shut Down | Heavy Equipment Operator

[@kdmtrap7268]

Im currently 18, and my mom is a truck driver and somehow got me an interview for 744k and 944k which freaked me out, I didn't know what too expect but I was honest and mentioned the fews ive learned from your channel and they said I had a good enough understanding that they would train me! Thank you so much, you're just an amazingly awesome channel, selfless with the goal of helping the equipment community, I hope everything goes your way forever. I mean I guess guys never grow up, our toys just get bigger!

[@HeavyMetalLearning]

Absolutely LOVE this comment! So glad we were able to help out and it is inspiring to us to keep doing what we are doing! Appreciate it!

Iam very much happy with your channel for learning and iam a plant operator for 20 years old and I love so much a front end loader operator most and I have a certificate in road construction and plant operator, safety mantantance for machine and I need a good job from your channel and iam a full time Zambian.

[@levitanner1594]

How’d ya do?

[@Vinkel3129]

I was inspired buy watching your videos and being part of this your successful channel which is really helping the world of heavy duty potential. Following your channel I developed a passion to learn a backhoe operating and not I'm a certified heavy duty operator from Ghana but unfortunately due to high unemployment rate in my country I haven't been able to secure a job for the past six months. I would love to use this opportunity to ask if anyone here can help me with a job I will be much grateful thank you all ❤❤​@@HeavyMetalLearning

Iam working in a quarry and normaly driving a Komatsu HD 605 truck. But during winter there are often ill co workers and often some machines are standing still over days because there is no one to operate them. So now I feel a little bit prepared if I am asked to operate a wheel loader for these days . Tank you! By the way, I´ve searched for the last three days to find videos about operating a wheel loader. There is absolutly nothing beside your channel!

[@thulaniNorwel-le3wc]

Yes iwnow a loder so plz i need job for frond and loder

Very good Sir.

[@geraldburrow3524]

I like renewing myself with equipment that im currently using , these videos are wonderful . There are several people & 3 actual operators that use our 2017 WA270 loader . My main use is uneven ground digging in compacted soil as in river rock & sand covering construction materials in a landfill not flat like most of your videos show. Could you or do you have these types of videos ?

[@MrDSmith]

Great content. Solid advice and training.

[@obednyirenda6667]

I have been following your video training different machine's looks like all machine are same with different shapes and work

[@danielwalker5682]

Brilliant explanations.

[@princejallah1268]

I really like this Job ✍️✍️✍️

[@ChristopherPaulBacon-m2l]

Unlike when my dad was operating a loader, I didn't hear so much unnecessary bumps or jerking when you were operating this the machine. He really needs to watch this video and take a lesson from you. I also got to operate a Kawasaki loader when we were screening dirt, but I didn't notice any lock lever for the joy stick.

[@HeavyMetalLearning]

Thanks for the comment!

[@SonjiWf]

What was your dad operating? A 1970s cat 950 gonna be 1000x louder then this much newer loader.

[@ChristopherPaulBacon-m2l]

@@SonjiWf Mid-00's Kawasaki. He was also operating an '07 Cat (not sure the model as the owner sold it before I started paying attention to model numbers).

[@Tech_Planet]

Nice video and good explanation of techniques. I agree the material is really important on how you load. 1/3 to 1/2 widths (for cutting the fill out), if you want to level a really rough floor. But other than that, I can tell you have run loader for quite awhile.

[@HeavyMetalLearning]

Thanks for the comment!

This video is great. Now i understand.

[@HeavyMetalLearning]

thanks for the comment!

[@TeeKoon]

At the end of the day I park in a spot free space if possible and In the morning check for leaks usually loose fittings or something more serious! And when switching bucket I lift it high and curl the bucket to have the least amount of pressure on the lock pins and have a good view if they both close! Once one of the pin didn't close but I could push and hold it in place with a rag, sometimes in a major snowstorm all the other loaders are on the the road, As for the single pin if you work with heavy load you can see a slight twist of the bucket on one side almost unnoticable for the newcomer! As for the bucket on level not to dig I give a little lift to it just to be safe. Keep an eye on the blades of the bucket for wear mostly the side ones !

[@HeavyMetalLearning]

Excellent advice...thanks for sharing!

[@alagupandiyan1223]

Hi sir i learning wheel loader but loading on the dumptruck i feel fear .sir ples make a video to loading truck because your video are more useful to me...thank u

[@HarryGoulding]

can you cover Landfill Compactors? Great videos! Im subscribed!

[@rakanalejandro]

43:37 what a pro

[@williambennett4918]

When I spread material going forward I put a 80-90% full bucket on the ground then open and raise my bucket at the same time anywhere from 6-10” off the ground (bottom of blade) and drive forward as I continue to open and raise my bucket at the same time to keep my blade height consistent. With good material on a somewhat level surface this will leave a beautiful pass especially if I back drag after I spread. 😉

[@rickness1706]

I go in and once the bucket is in the dirt I slowly drive and slowly lift at same time to get the bucket right in and then curl the bucket up seems to work I went on a training course to get recruited for a roading project in NZ. You can also use a loader like a dozer.

[@princejallah1268]

Great Job 😢😢😢

[@kelseyjames3528]

Beginner here I'm working with what my instructor said is a M2 . Machine is good but old functions well . The thing I'm struggling with is getting a full load with the two levers on my right Bucket motion and rising and lowering the bucket . While getting a full buckets Not if I explained that but I'd like some pointers.

[@TakiyeNant]

I'm very happy because learn much

[@cincitymenace]

Why never go forward in float? I do this when clearing snow

[@ifeanyiraimund9226]

Do you have Container forklift

[@tiberiublaga9852]

Yeah i Whant too work on future whit them

[@erykzavala438]

So new loaders don’t have levels for the buckets? I operate a 624k JD it has levels fo our loaders to scrape even and it does have auto level too

Before driving away, operators should make sure reverse alarm and horn is working.

Agreed!

even worse on wet sand or muddy conditions ive need to repair the line i scoop before i scoop so i change line and dont drive into my same tire rut ive moved alot of dirt,, been moving piles from excavation of footers then bring back for backfill

[@arthurevans5608]

building Grand Cypress resort expansion going to have a lagoon too, im not working the lagoon project but you should see the machine thats been grading this area is like a wheel loader but i guess you could call a track loader or dozer has for tracks. but i have right now 1yr day in day out wheel loader experience and i like it.. wish i had seen this video sooner but Thank you for the video..

[@arzylcandel255]

Is wheel loader automatic ???

[@HeavyMetalLearning]

Not necessarily “automatic” but there are speed/hear settings. They are hydrostatic transmissions so not like changing gears on a car/truck.

[@calamity075]

To be honest, do you always wear the Seat belt? I almost never see anyone wear it.

[@rupertrussell1]

I am a road rescue technician and I have seen many people killed when a vehicle rolls over and they are ejected from the cab. If you are not in the cab the vehicle can role on you or you can just bounce around inside the cab and smash your head open. Or at the east break legs etc. The seat belt is your best friend. kzbin.info/www/bejne/mHzMaa2og5Z7hcU

[@starship748]

Imagine you pull up to a red light in your loader only to have a professionally certified top tier of the 1% forklift operator try to race you? Things you think about while operating.

[@mrbigtuna240]

Prolly should have started it when you started your “pre op inspection”

[@HeavyMetalLearning]

I don't typically start the machine until I first do the walk around. But everyone does it a little different. Thanks for the comment!

[@douglashiggins5652]

Now don't get mad but What's with you and floating it the worst thing you can teach someone. If you finish grade a house and all you did was floating you'll have a houseboat because it's going to look like it on the ocean. I know you don't care but its not good to teach newbies. But all your videos are great they show a lot of what to do for beginners.

[@HeavyMetalLearning]

I think there is absolutely a time and place to backdrag using float. I'm not one of those "real operators never backdrag" camp. Otherwise, why does every manufacturer have float on the machine?

[@douglashiggins5652]

@@HeavyMetalLearning I think you ment to say is ( real operators don't backdrag.floating camp). In my 35 plus years of operating equipment I used the float one time someone put sand down my dipstick tube so I couldn't start up the engine. I then put the machine in float used a backhoe to pickup the bucket so I could get to the oil pan . It's the only time I used the float , I think that's why they have the float
