Chris....if anyone was born to run heavy equipment, it is you. Your an adult kid living out a passion and nice enough to share it with all of us....thanks.

I've pulled over 60 trees from my friend's yard just this past year. Mostly pines. Did some drainage improvements too. This is pure fun!

i could seriously watch you for hours! love all the videos! we got some old equipment on the farm, 1952 D4 and a late 70's ford backhoe. little tricky to run since you gotta think 100 steps ahead because everything is wore out. cant wait to take a crack at a newer machines!

Used to operate 310sg with pilot controls instead of stick. Could switch back n forth from backhoe to excator control. Once your used to exc. you never use backhoe again. That 310sg had more power than ever needed. :)
@daddio72496 жыл бұрын
Oh no, exc is backwards. I have run an exc and a JD 510. Much simpler to curl the bucket and crowd the dipper with one hand and bump the boom up with the other when cleaning a ditch. Left hand left-right and up-down. Right hand curl-uncurl and in-out.

A company that I use to work for had a small sand pit. The owner kept a Deere 410 in there for us to use to load our tandem wheelers and tri-axles with. It was old and beaten, but it worked.

I love the John Deere backhoes, we've had many over the years. One piece of advice, don't set the parking brake when using the hoe. Put it in neutral and you will see that the tires free spin when they're off the ground. You can wear out the parking brake this way, and damage the internals this way.
@letsdig187 жыл бұрын
MrPlow_2841 good point. I usually don't but one time I was on a hill and when to go to move. curled up the boom and as soon as I had the out riggers about half way up it took off rolling backwards. ended up half over the edge into a fire pile before I got it stopped. that was scary and interesting to get out while the boom was in the fire!
@cj14dalh7 жыл бұрын
I had a similar situation happen with wet grass and our 240 John Deere excavator when I was younger. Stuff like that never leaves ya.
@73DiamondReo7 жыл бұрын
company i worked for had a 410d that they broke the parking brake on by digging with it set and dragging the machine. i always leave it off. at least one stabilizer stays down until i spin my seat around and am on the brakes. same goes for setting up. i start putting them down as I'm backing into place and are set before i spin the seat around then just shove myself around with the hoe to line up with what I'm digging.

Its too late for what? You can see his machines many of them are in good shapes even the old ones.... If you take care of it they can handle pretty much you know.
