Spider Excavator clearing blockages

[@Wilson82668]

I've looked to find operators explaining how to operate spider excavators but I couldn't find any this was last year. I found plenty of videos of people recording from the outside of the excavator, but having an operator explain in detail how to operate one I haven't found. From all the functions a spider or walking excavator has I think a person would need extra hands and feet to operate one🤔

That’s where I was at learning this. I was handed the keys and told go figure out how to start it. I search and searched and no one shared how to run it. So I wanted to share basic controls. Kaiser s2 and Menzi muck the controls are slightly different. I’m not sure if I’ll be back on this ever again as the front right leg tore off, no idea if the company will fix it. They don’t want to buy anymore of them as they are going with marsh buggies now. Years of being a pipe welder helped me run this thing because I was use both hands fingers both feet sometimes.

What is the benefit of using that excavator rather than a regular tracked excavator?

[@ChrisLawley43]

Regular track machine would sink and the footage of these right aways is not much on each side of the ditch. The video before this one the terrain was all over the place from steep sides to very narrow ditch, the legs allow you to operate on all different terrain.
