Chris you can’t keep going 7 days a week 15 or more hours a day our body’s will break down we all love watching your videos but you need to take a break from time to time we all do and yes you have a lot to do but remember you can’t do it from your bed when your sick and can barely breathe . Thank you for you videos but please take a break 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

3:50 That is the difference between a pro and an “I can run it” guy. Pro spreads it out both directions using the bucket in a single fluid motion versus three separate motions. Doesn’t seem like much, but those little things can add half an hour of productivity over the course of a day. Love watching this man work!

[@raymundo7687]

somebody gave a pro a chance to become one.

[@theyetirulrs]

Truer words were never spoken! However this guy is a business owner and has several competent operators in his employ. Were I in his shoes I think I would tend to promote from within my company when possible. So prospective operators are probably going to have to do it the hard way, from the bottom. Even harder is waiting for your chance to shine.

[@donevens4357]

Sorry your having trouble with your machines and you don't feel good Chris. Unfortunately you'll fight DEF problems for ever. They just can't get it to work because there are to many sensors. This is why all my old farm & trucking buddy's keep fixing older equipment. Hope things work out for you and you get to feeling better soon!

Ain't nothing a few thousand dollars won't fix. That sounds about right. When it rains it pours.

[@rightsideofthegrass8114]

People have a misconception about "being sick." I've been in my own outdoor business for 26 years - seasonal (9 months). I have not missed a day of work from being sick or injured (more likely). But, that is a pattern. G1-G12, perfect attendance for all but one year, missing two days because of a broken arm. I worked for over 30 years in a business, only a couple of "sick days." My point: We think that everybody is "entitled" to sick time. That is a generalization, one that is poorly applied.

[@GARDENER42]

@@letsdig18 You sounded about as rough as someone still breathing could. Know what you mean about getting it done - 7 years running a logging business, then 20 owning a fishing tackle shop (I should've stuck to logging...). Less than a week's sick in all that time.

It'd be one thing if DEF was a bulletproof fluid but it is absolutely awful. It can freeze without a heated tank, it can get too hot in normal southern US weather and break down, it goes bad over time even in perfect conditions, it can't handle direct sunlight, it can't handle temperature changes and all this can also happen sitting in the tank of a machine, it's awful.

That DEF and DPF technology makes the carbon footprint of a machine significantly bigger than it would be without. Soot is not CO2. It’s just solid carbon. The politicians who wear diamonds (solid carbon) don’t like diesel soot, which is also solid carbon but in an different crystalline from. Politicians are the biggest problem we have in the modern world. What are we going to do about that?
