Excellent operating technique, as well as your time management for loading, allowing no wasted motion with a full-bucket load!

Nice loading Chris. Quick question, with your Volvo's when your running hard like that and the hydraulics heat up do you see your cycle times slow down? I have been running a 460 for the last month and around mid day it slows down, down right gets weak. Changed the pumps, checked the valve bank and they say all is fine.?.?

I have over 40 yrs under my belt and have ran alot of excavators and loaded MANY trucks. Your a good hand 'letsdig18'. One thing I noticed however is some spillage from the bucket onto the side and tailgate of the truck. If the trucks are not going going onto a highway then that's not a big problem. HOWEVER, if the trucks ARE going on the highway the truckers tend to get a tad pissed when that happens because they have to clean it off first. Other than that I'd give you a 9. Good job.

Dont park under my bucket then. I stack the shit half way up my dipper if I'm benched in right and yes I lose a bit too. They are gone in 8 buckets. Spilling dry dirt who cares. With the clamp on the dipper he can't load anymore in if he wanted too and it's also causing some spillage as he crowds the bucket. I'm sure you can see that too. Without the clamp you can get quite a bit more in.

We had a Matbro teleram that did the same thing, it was used for buckraking silage. It was fine whilst it was cold but as soon as you got around dinner time it would just slow down until it would hardly move, we had it from new and although we had several fitters come and look at it we never got it to work right once it was hot

Oh another thing, the bigger your bucket the less scoops you need to get out the rigs faster. But here in Hawaii where I work we use long beds and semi's to haul dirt / rocks / sand.

I would hire this guy, doesn't honk (very irritating), drivers don't have to clean off side rails, very fast & neat, topsoil isn't that heavy, but in my state you have to have 8" of freeboard or the operator will get the traffic ticket (i know). If you can grade as good as you load, you are an operating engineer!

From driving dump trucks... and also operating... I will tell you why it is like this. Most of these trucks have CB radios in them and the antennas arent adjusted for SWR. Therefore the operating range of these radios is typically less than a mile. They are bored and they want someone to talk to. So what happens is.. you load a truck.. he will creep until some of his buddies catch up... Also, When you pay them by the hour, they tend to also drive 10-20mph under the speed limit.
