LetsDig18 Taking Aaron Through Operator School

Aaron and Matt traveled to North Carolina to visit one of Aaron's good friends Chris aka LetsDig18 on KZbin. Chris was a good sport and managed to actually teach Aaron some tricks when he operates. Hopefully, he won't his skid steer again anytime soon.

But theres only one tree LOL Glad you could stop by

[@DougT25427]

Yesterday I was traveling north on I-95 passing near the Raleigh NC area. I noticed a LOT of fire smoke moving across the interstate. The fires had to be close but I never did see them. It was a little windy too. No wonder Chris is cautious about starting his fires. For some reason the area’s topography helps fire smoke stay near the ground.

I see you had then in the little 160 ,, the 250 might have pancaked the ac unit in 1 hit lol

Ol bigdeal18 is a mighty fine gentleman to learn from

[@1herbert100]

He has a very good mentor now. Good job Chris. It's always better to show them than to tell them how to do it.

[@tedc.4956]

Chris's lesson on how to find a septic tank, "Just find it." 5:17 That one made me really LOL. Seriously, glad to see Chris sharing his knowledge. He's amazing.

I need to find a heavy equipment operator to mentor me! I’ve only operated a mini excavator, and Kubota tracked loader. Helping a friend out… never will forget it! But the bug bite me, now I’m learning as much as I can from KZbin.

[@1932cheytruck]

The excavator work was great, but with chainsaws ALWAYS WEAR SAFETY EQUIPMENT you dont want to loose a leg for saving few minutes
