Learning how to operate an Excavator

[@oby-1607]

When your Dad preaches safety to you, its because he cares about you. He is a good Dad.

[@neithanm]

OH NO REALLY

[@FlyingCircusAct]

@@neithanm Yeah, reeeeeeaaaaaaaalllllyyyyy!

[@robbob3718]

THANK YOU! This is the first video of eight that I’ve watched which showed starting, then operating, finally tips on how to operate efficiently.

[@papadave9061]

Great job Eva! Now that you've been in the driver's seat of the Excavator, watch your dad while he's using it. You'll have a better understanding of not only how to use it, but also more appreciation for how good your dad is "behind the wheel". Can't wait for the vid of you working with your dad when you kick him out of that seat and take over.🤣 It's nice to hear you're doing well at school too. We really had no doubt you would.

[@davidheath2772]

I am 68 years old you need to be safe your Mom an Dad Are an have Taught you right Good Luck GOD BLESS

[@toothandnailsawmill102]

Operated equipment for 35 years. Trained other operators. I’m impressed! You did great!

[@johnnyfrazier4964]

You done good and you couldn't have a better teacher than your dad on equipment.

[@bernie6219]

You did good and are a natural and picked up quickly.

[@garylentz5504]

Very impressed! Guys can't even do what she did! Look out dad she'll be taking over!!!!

[@francescodelmedico2113]

Hello 🖐️ I like you 💋 ⚡ 👍

[@customcraftsbybruceslaton4872]

Eva, I have rented excavators 3 times! Once to replace a sewer line, once to clear some land and digging up tree stumps, and the last time was 2 weeks ago I rented one to dig up some trees and bushes, and replace a fence line. It has definitely got a learning curve. But as long as you respect the machine and go slow, get the basics down to memory, it will come to you probably very quickly. I had no experience with one before I rented it the first time. You Go Girl!

[@TheDuffer426]

Good job for your first time on the excavator. Its one of those things, the more you operate it the better you get. Great video thanks for sharing.

[@randymorrison6804]

Eva, you did better than I could have with those instructions in such a short time, and I'm 70. You have a great Dad who won't steer you wrong. Great video 👍. Randy

[@georgecrawford3051]

I operated heavy equipment and trucks for over fifty years. For the meager amount of instruction your father gave you, you did a GREAT job operating the excavator. Eva, you are a fantastic student of anything you take on. Your father was smart in teaching you to operate everything except the tracks and moving the machine. That method is, "learning to walk before you run". Very good Mike.

[@ronniekoehn9413]

Great job Eva that was a great beginning to running the excavator.

[@beniplayz1235]

I'm very impressed on how well you operated that machine for it being the first time and how you learned so fast. Keep up being yourself and being open to learning new things!

[@EdRossi624]

Outstanding Eva. Your dad is a good instructor because you operated that excavator better than I could.

[@wazzeradk9398]

I’m a long time viewer of your parents channel, and have wished your dad would make a “how to operate an excavator” video…..But you did it and it was even better cuz you are not experienced and we get to see it all as if we climbed in. This was a great vid and I hope you do more like it! Good luck at school.

[@ronallen6578]

Hi Eva, As a dad I just want to tell you that your dad is a good operator and if you simply watch him, now that you've got a teeny amount of time running this, you can learn. Dad isn't preaching to you, he looking out for you. You're his little girl, regardless of age, and always will be. He'll do whatever it takes to keep you safe, but he also wants you to grow as a person. You did pretty good for your 1st time. Remember that confidence is a good thing UNTIL you become TOO confident and then you can get in trouble. Stay cautious and learn. Confidence will come. You'll have plenty of chances on this, should you want it. Good luck in school😊😊

[@jamescumbo1928]

Eva lovely video. I was surprised that you wanted to really operate the excavator before your mom. I can see you helping your dad with firewood. You can bring logs over and hold them up while he cuts them into blocks. You took your time and went slow. Great job young lady. I can never get enough of your gorgeous smile. Lots of respect and love from N.E.WASHINGTON STATE.

[@richardhumble2296]

Ok Eva, you have just done what many, many people would not do. Good instruction from your Dad and knowing he would never do anything to put you in danger. Looking forward to the next video.

[@paulrice1918]

Dear Eva I thought you did very well for your first voyage. You are the most beautiful operator I have ever seen and you did so very well. Congratulations.

[@stephenellis3430]

Your dads so proud. You took to the excavator. Glad to hear your enjoying the collage experience.

[@johnlancaster6564]

safety safety safety :) nice helping him out a little, thanks for sharing with us.

[@caniacstevehenderson7115]

Enjoy your time at school & my prayer is you'll have the tools,skills needed to take care of yourself & family. And get your home work done. Once behind its tougher to catch up

[@cdalton3169]

The best way to learn how to operate an excavator is doing exactly what you’re doing - moving and stacking wood. Smooth machine - I own one! Stellar machine. And you’re a stellar operator, young lady! Love it that your dad is helping you learn how to do these things. Great knowledge to have!

[@jamessimon7367]

Daughter Eva great job! Don’t stop there, having taught my son how to work with tools and equipment was very rewarding! Have him teach you how to operate all his equipment, so you can have that knowledge and experience that my son had with me while growing up. My son just FaceTimed me to show me the beautiful wood floor he installed in his home for his wife! Good luck with school and keep up the great content!❤❤❤❤

[@jamesheneghan3893]

Love the beautiful way you operate the digger love it beautifully love more of your videos love the video. Keep safe love it.

[@Morgansunleashed]

Great Video Eva! You did a great job operating the excavator

[@davidmorse8432]

Hi Melissa! This was a big step for Mike. He loves that machine so much.

[@jakebredthauer5100]

Mike makes videos about what he does and I suggested to Eva that she do videos about what she does (college).

[@michaeljheinz3336]

Absolutely fantastic job Eva. Keep practicing, you're a natural Girl.

[@keithburch5506]

This was fun, Eva! I bet you did enjoy operating the excavator. If you watch your dad's video of today, you can see how he stood the log rounds up to stack them. I'm sure you'll pick it up quickly. To get the 'feel' of any machine, it takes operating time. So when you get the urge to practice on the weekends, just kick dad out and take over whatever he was doing! Just remember to have your camera on! I can't help but wonder how you got home. Mom and dad dropped you off. Where's that pink, Jeep? Again, this was fun and smile inducing. Loved it! Thanks, Miss Eva! Have a day!❤️

[@PatrickCPalmer]

For a first time operating such a complicated piece of machinery you did great!

[@grc3029]

Way to go Eva , your dad is a great and patient instructor! Good first effort , in control and not jerky ! Practice makes perfect and the slow approach is great! Keep up the good work !Thanks for sharing Awesome episode 👍

[@Sword-Shield]

First time... OUTSTANDING 👍💯

[@GM-NY]

Welcome home! That was great, you picked that up quick and did very well. It’s cool that you may have used my suggestion in your last video that you do something with the excavator. I like that you’re willing to learn or experience new things even if it’s not something you’d normally be interested in. Dropping that log on it’s edge was funny, and would be hard to duplicate. Thanks for another great video!

[@bigbigby4657]

Very successful! Loved, loved, loved that Ford T!👍

[@luisrodriquez6358]

Hello Eva, like I always say to your dad, “I enjoy watching his videos with my morning coffee.” Well this one video here with you was a treat with my morning coffee in Fresno CA. You were amazing like I just told your parents. You did a fantastic job, learning so quickly. I am 79 years old, and I couldn’t have learned as quickly as you. You’re a chip off the block from your dad. It’s refreshing to hear you say that you are very concerned about safety. That’s so nice to hear from a young person like yourself.

[@edfeldpausch7169]

Good job young lady. Love how you just jump right in and go with confidence. You're a natural.

[@rexwoodall2179]

Eva, the Rexcavator was a perfect gentleman. You did great and it was enjoyable watching your first time at the controls. You guys could be buddies right away. Enjoy your weekend and never stop learning, learn to bring a multitude of talents into your life. I know you keep safety paramount. Nicely done!

[@ronwig7665]

Eva you said my favorite word that I like hearing you say BUTTON , love it,your a daddy’s girl for sure, your a natural on machines

[@Firestg]

Welcome home Eva! Goad that you are having a great time at college. You did a fantastic job operating the excavator. You have a great teacher. I’ve been in construction for 25 years, you are well on the way to becoming a good operator. You definitely have a knack for operating equipment. It’s always important to keep safety in mind! Awesome Ford t-shirt too! Enjoy the rest of the long weekend.

[@jamescole1786]

9/3/23; ..1st time operating an excavator, you did Good! You know it's all about practice & I bet your dad has a bunch of practice activity for you to help him do several chores. Ok after this you gotta be ready for the skidd steer! Very glad to see your positive attitude toward practical power equipment...this stuff is waaay better than all that girly makeup, eye shadow & fru-fru purple hair some kids are focused on exhibiting...stay with equipment operations which will lead you to aspects of engineering... (mechanical, civil, petroleum, process etc) which will keep you 'well grounded' & have your own career. Stay safe, enjoy your command & control & carry on girl!💪🍺😊

[@charlesbradford7233]

For day 1 learning you did great. Yes your dad is right, safety is the most important thing. It keeps you safe and alive. After more practice you will get faster and operate the controls without thinking, think the force luke. If you get a chance look at how professional operators work the machine, you will learn a lot plus tricks to help you. Cheers.

[@davidheath2772]

your Dad will teach you how to run every thing equipment the right way an safe way an make good vidios of all. You are a very smart young Lady stick to it between you an your Dad you can learn it all Good Luck GOD BLESS

[@kevingerlach7517]

Eva, the Fact that you understand the safety aspects is Great. As most of us, I believe, want to ensure you are always okay and not hurt in the process of making videos or doing projects. It is wonderful that you are attempting to learn to do work with sophisticated equipment, that one must be aware of the safety required in the operation of equipment of this size. Little steps, familiarity will come from repetition. The thing about your father I respect the most is his operating with safety and his surrounding being first priorities. His character in how he is and works is one of the reasons, I enjoy watching his content. You will do very well and will make your parents very proud. I am happy to be a subscriber to your channel, keep up the great work. Continue to challenge yourself and do not be afraid of making mistakes, life is a process.

You did great,I wish I had the same opportunity,your dad is a great teacher.

[@clarasorchard88]

Great job Eva! I’m impressed at how fast you picked this up! It’s so good that you’re being safety conscious as well. Welcome home young lady, enjoy the holiday weekend, and please be safe out there. Our prayers are with you and your family!🙏🦅🇺🇸

[@SteveLedford504]

Great job Eva! Keep making your videos. You're a natural.

[@jimspirnock1184]

Great 1st time as a operator Eva. I’m sure you will conquer it soon just as you will in your life. There is nothing you can’t do!! Keep it up and good luck with your studies. Nice to see your smile again

[@rodneyross5282]

Eva, I am sure you will accomplish this small task, as surly as you will accomplish all the things you want to do in life. The world needs more people like your dad an mom raising children that become the model for others. You are one awesome young lady. God Bless you in all things.

[@joeromanak8797]

You are such a bright sparkle of enthusiasm. Your narration is very good and you must be a good editor cause your final product is very enjoyable. I was impressed by your excavator experience. Your dad didn’t know it all on his first day either so hang in there. Run it some more every chance you get so you don’t forget and your skills improve. You made me smile 😊❣️

[@russellbowman8051]

Great Job Eva!! Every Time You Will Feel More Comfortable And Get Smoother!! Keep Smiling On!! 😄👍👊❤️

[@billh2735]

Good video Eva. Your dad is right you are a quick study. I am glad you are enjoying college. The next four years will be memorable, as will the people you meet along the way. I was wondering if you could tell us what you are majoring in and why. I am sure you have varied interests that helped you make the decision. Stay safe and healthy and keep the videos coming. Bill H from Cranberry Township

[@jakebredthauer5100]

I wrote a comment asking her to make videos on her college experience.

[@mrbibstoo]

[@tammychambers6068]

Keep doing you, you are so full of personality, enjoy your videos.

[@firewoodprovidersnorthwest]

Eva, for the first time, you did great, I was telling you to bring the thumb in all the way, getting it out of your way, that way you could use the claw to stand up the block of wood. You will learn this with time, and impress your Dad tremendously . Rodney

[@deanehill9730]

Daughter Eva memorised her dads instructions very quickly and made all the correct moves. She will easily learn to operate the machines full functions in a short time. Thanks for the video.

[@one567]

Great skill to have in your back pocket. Like your dad said, once you get over the hump of having to think about each movement, you'll do great.

You did awesome for your first time , great job 👏 !! The most important thing is to remain calm and not to panic and stay focused !! You are a very relaxed and laid back person , good 👍 for you !! 😎

[@kerryjohnson2512]

Awesome job. You did great having never been operated an excavator. When i learned the instructor had me keep the bucket 1' off the ground and run the booms full extension and back keeping the the bucket flat and one foot above the ground. This force's you to do what is called triple function. In other words, this motion forces you to use 3 functions at the same time. Awesome job. Your dad is good on that machine, so you have a great teacher.

[@jeffselchow5719]

Life is a journey of gathering knowledge, the more you can learn about more subjects, the better you make yourself. Good Luck and keep learning.

[@ronwhite6719]

[@raymondrobinson5251]

You done great! About your safety routine! You are actually awesome at doing so! Especially putting on the helmet each time you get on the toys! Thumbs up 👍 for your excellent teaching of KZbin youth! By leading by example!

[@millcrafters]

Eva, You're such a sweetheart. Congrats on being at Penn State. I did some graduate studies there. Love watching your channel. Your Dad's channel is what I wake up to in the morning with my morning cup of coffee.

[@johnsandell4501]

[@holymoly6829]

Good start Eva 30-60 minutes and competent I’d be years I’m sure I love your safety first ethos Mum & Dad can be confident and proud you’ll always be safe and sound Great video You are a lovely lass Good to see you so happy and looking forward to life 👍👍👍👍👍💕🕊️🤗🤗

Good job Eva. Keep practicing when you’re home.

[@craighefflinger6565]

Great job -nice to see a young lady interested in running equipment - keep at it - something you will always be proud that you can do it !

[@squirrelrelocator]

You did great. Like your dad said when you eventually get muscle memory, you will be able to do multiple things with both hands without much thought. I really like the way he set up 3 rounds for you to practice on. I am going to steal that idea for the next person I teach.

[@billyladner3062]

I taught my rwo daughters and son how to operate my backhoe tractor and trackhoe. They were also taught to drive stick shifts. Never under estimate the value of learning new skills Stay safe and have fun

[@Pete-d5d]

Eva you are star in the making .Very well done first lesson and you nailed it .

[@twaggs6523]

Great video Eva!!! Thank you.

[@georgea6403]

Yes. So glad you’re touching on safety. When I got my mom, her mobility scooter the very first thing I told her was to make sure the key is off when you get on and off always and I still tell her that.

[@georgea6403]

There’s a KZbin channel that has hundreds a Videos with his little girl probably about 10 shooting guns. Which is totally awesome she could probably I’ll shoot me however, not once in any other videos. Did she check her gun when she picked it up? I made comments on this and never got a reply. I must’ve hurt their feelings. That’s the first thing I tell my kids nephews when they came over to shoot. I asked them what’s the first thing you do when you pick up a gun. And usually I answer. Yes that’s right you make sure it’s unloaded.

[@guythefixer]

Great job Eva.

[@cymorin149]

Eva , you did fantastic operating the Excavator … you’re a natural … enjoyed your video 👍

[@joemartino6976]

Trust me. Knowing how to operate heavy equipment will be a great conversation starter that will work great for years to come. Dad did a great favor by giving you the opportunity to learn something unique and then leaving you alone to figure it out for yourself. I would wager, even, that this will easily surpass the value of any one class in your college experience. All the Best!

[@MaximusMerideus]

Wow, I been wanting to learn how to operate these my whole life and now I at least know what some of the controls mean. Thx Eva

[@jamesschaffhausen4466]

YOU DID GREAT. MISS EVA. My next machine to operate too.. i just bought 40 acres of trees and need to clear for my cabin plans Dad is a great teacher too. thanks for sharing 😇😎❤💯🌲🌲🪓🪚

[@kennethparent8544]

I worked many years operating you did a good job learning and your dad is correct about safety it should always be the first thing learned is to be safe for proper operation of equipment so keep up the good work

[@Trumptrain2024Vance]

Now you're talking Eva!!! Heck yeah! This will be epic! Just imagine on a job site how dangerous this equipment could be? Then imagine the trust workers put in an operator on a job site being around heavy Equipment! Great job Eva
