That D11 pushing that nugget, was like a kitten playing with a ball of string.

[@lidsman2221]

Best tractor videos on you tube. Thank you!

[@25mfd]

OH yes,now i remember. And as a parting gift,boston gave canada the boston creme recipe. Now this ain't bad. We get heavy equipment,a donut comment and a history lesson all in the same vid. That's why i subscribed to this channel. The depths of the commentary knows NO bounds :)

[@vantagetes]

About time you showed up.

[@hornykc1]

its so much nicer to have a dozer to help clean up,it really speeds up production,you can allmost double the amount of trucks loaded in a day with a clean up dozer to help

[@shaneo33t]

Hey mate love you're work. Just wondering what eye sight problems u have and if they effect u at all

[@gamingoyunda7350]

You use the bucket very well

[@ctblazer05]

love these videos been watching a while know. U should up load some longer run vids of these excavators. Its a neat camera angle and u stop it after only a couple trucks if people dont want to keep watching they dont have to. thanks

[@Millsy.g]

I just can't get over how short that stick looks. But my god the power that must have. You going to be taking any time off over the holidays? Or just giver steady?

[@vantagetes]

It's also a longer swing and slower to dump if the trucks are parked at a 90* angle. You want them 15-30* off the idler so you don't have to swing as far and can stick out while dumping for faster return to dig.

[@vantagetes]

That's because it is a ME or Mass Excavator configuration where it is fitted with the shortest boom and stick available for massive breakout power.

[@vantagetes]

Amen!

[@dexterquincy1]

Hi,new subscriber here. Like the video, u working for kidco Calgary?

[@vantagetes]

Correct, thanks for the subscribe!

[@vantagetes]

Yep, third engine now too. This video was when the first one was dying, you can hear the RPM drop when I multifunction. The second one lasted 83 hours (oops) and the third one is going strong.

[@vantagetes]

We have two 375s that made it to 33,000. They have almost 37,000 now!

[@EarthwurmJurm]

once a bulker, always a bulker.

[@shauny19840]

The stick looks so small but the boom doesn't look very long either or is just a illusion

[@laurencemathewriggs8023]

could u tell us what it is your doing and how a guy gets broken in on a excavator I have a year in part time on 330 and a 400 Hitachi just can't seem to get full time

[@Seabass466]

Engine sounds terribad... btw nice video, nothing wrong on having a dozer helping out

[@vantagetes]

No no, thank you for watching!

[@jimmyjohnson7769]

So why exactly was the 11 down there cleaning up for you

[@curvedbridge]

I love these titles hahaha

[@rotortilttt]

is the 385 faster then deere 800 or 850? looks like it on ur two new videos :)

[@kreed1004]

where's all that dirt going?

[@vantagetes]

Holladay? What is this Hooliday? That ends in "day" so you work right?

[@waults]

i was wondering why it was lugging down so bad, what actually happened with engines 1&2? a c15 / 3406e is usually a damn good engine

[@Macki1287]

83 hours! hows that?

[@Gavin84w]

Plenty to learn here woodbe production digger operators, sit back and enjoy the show.

[@robertharrison8810]

Humor me and explain how the windshield got cracked.?

[@virus56777]

you look like jd from the stern show

[@vantagetes]

Depends which 385...and which 800 or 850's. Comparing a mass excavator in speed to general purpose machines is somewhat unfair. But if you wanted to compare the powerstripe 385 with man bucket to the 850 Deere and man bucket in dirt then you'd have a show! What do you know you could find both those videos on this channel!

[@YotaLizard]

I always thought that if the trucks park perpendicular to the 'hoe (or rather, so that the stick is parallel with the truck when it's time to un-curl and dump) it makes for a much easier target for the 'hoe operator. I guess the disadvantage is that the trucks can't simply pull in on-the-fly, they'd have to back up at some point. Also, you're obviously skilled way beyond the point where an easier target would matter.

[@DieselandIron]

Go big or go home with the cleanup dozer. That's some serious iron on that job.

[@vantagetes]

C18/3408E actually. The 375 had the 3406E.

[@amberkataraw7612]

i actually like this dont know why though

[@nibizsw3]

Well that explains it. But 10,000h isnt all to much. have seen a Komatsu at 30,000h without engine rebuild.

[@ok-tm3ds]

You.ok

[@vantagetes]

Yes, Boston used to belong to our empire in case you have forgotten ;)

[@DopedUpManiacs]

need any operators in edmonton?

[@vantagetes]

This is well over 10,000 hours, and the rebuilt engine doesn't count; it had a flaw.

[@gangesexcavating]

interesting.

[@billymartin9864]

Тяжёлый за тобой 3 машины массы тащит,кто так работает))

[@vantagetes]

You obviously do not live in Canada. It's a "Boston Cream" donut thank you very much.

[@25mfd]

Wait a minute....You live in CANADA but your favorite donut is BOSTON cream??????????

[@logantennent2258]

a rather large kitten....

[@nicholas0096]

you have the video of when your broke glass of the 385? how did you do?

[@vantagetes]

No it was broken by a rock off the tire of the heavy haul truck while in transport.

[@nicholas0096]

ah capito comunque complimenti lo usi veramente bene...

[@paulpeters5199]

Nice broken window

[@vantagetes]

Paul Peters thanks, it’s custom.

[@345MEdigger]

Red dragons !!!!!

[@nibizsw3]

And you guys say that Komatsu is shit...

[@25mfd]

The TERRIBLE truth?????? What's wrong with having a clean up dozer working with an excavator??? It's the PERFECT combo. I mean it would be like TIM HORTONS and a JELLY DONUT,right???

[@vantagetes]

+/-0.07m with this thing mate, maybe you can watch and learn how to dig outside 90 and not regrade the same section 4 times for no reason. Making it look pretty doesn't pay the bills if it takes you all day to do it, a good operator can pull grade AND get production.

[@alibuamer7078]

No

[@HomebrewCigarSmoker1]

There are not many statement's about operating that can be characterized as an absolute. However a couple of such statements are " A good operator always makes it drain. Another is Only move it once or the last pass is the one we get paid for. And with out a dought, hit the nail on the head a good operator can get production and cut grade. Can I get an Amen?

[@vantagetes]

How on earth do you think Jason looks like JD? I mean uhhhh ahhh I uhhhh hahahahahahahahaha ummmmmm i dont umm you know uhhhhhh ahhhhh fuck.

[@Gavin84w]

Short life equals 2 things in most cases, failed part or poor workmanship

[@vantagetes]

Learn what "Mass Excavation" is genius. If the bucket isn't puking dirt off three sides its not full enough. Same goes for trucks.

[@elnino4398]

Anyone know this mans job

[@vantagetes]

Heavy Equipment Operator, although it's Superintendent now.

[@ThePilotPenguin1]

is that like a foreman on the sight?

[@matthewaustin3488]

The Pilot Penguin Probably

[@asedecraft]

What LME mean?

[@vantagetes]

ase decraft long carriage (track) mass excavator (short stick and boom for power)

[@asedecraft]

@@vantagetes thank you I thought it was the one with longer boom and stick

[@sprucesoldier]

This was in the days of when, We’d all talk shit. To do the best job we could do. And take pride in a job. Miss those days! Hahaha Lazy fucks nowadays..

[@Theonetwo48]

My goodness sir, slow down on your coffee! We Americans like to savior our cup before being all productive and shit lol

[@theobserver7643]

if you dont fully open the bucket you can fill it faster and dont need a cleanup... why are operaters on big machines always so messi?

[@vantagetes]

Bad rebuild.
