I just started a job as state highway maintenance… they have ALOT of equipment.. they will be starting me on a loader to load salt onto our plows for snow and ice removal. Thanks so much for this man. I told them I know nothing about it.. maybe on my first day using it i’ll suprise them!

Thank you so much for this. Just got hired as a groundskeeper and while they are going to be training me, I now feel 150% more confident going in.

I advise all my new operators to watch your videos. Excellent enrty-level info that covers all the basic controls and operational procedures! Thank you for your detailed tutorials!

[thewaltersshow]

I appreciate the videos. I'm a rookie and appreciate any and all information I can receive about operating loaders. I have about 20 hours on a machine. It sounds, to me, the more hours you put on a machine the better you become. Experience is key.

As with other videos; simple, straight to the points, and well-taught! I know you are told this a lot, but you really are an excellent teacher!

Thank you I'm new to this area of industry. Very excited to learn! Started my new job as an agriculture hauler. 10 years of driving commercial trucks, and finally given the opportunity to live every 8 year olds dream (at least is what I think) to operate a real life Tonka truck lol. Thank you and you now have a new subscriber.

Thanks to you and Youtube, I can now operate almost any machine at a construction site. Now I just need to find one

[hamedrobaty]

This has absolutely zero to do with my job by any means, and yet I enjoyed how well and seamless it is explained. Well done mate

[williamgosnell]

All these people on here leaving comments about what you did wrong. Good grief. Were they born with a phd in large equipment operation? No, they just want attention. I appreciate the time and effort to make these videos. Very helpful to me. Thanks and keep digging.

Thank for you basic training, yesterday I completed wheel loader short course, and now I have my certificate in wheel loader operation. Thank you so much

Cool video. I don't call my self an operator. I'm just a runner or lever puller . Before I start mine up I check the fluid levels and I can't stand dirty windows so I clean those . MSHA requires a preshift inspection report. We also have scales and have to do a few warm up lifts to activate it . I've found when digging is more tight piles like shot rock I will level the bucket and then just a slight bump forwards on the bucket lever helps to loosen up the pile . Some loaders have an automatic kick down so if your in second or third gear it will go to first when you hit the pile . I been running equipment for over 30 years and still don't know nuttin . Just a lever puller . Thank you for sharing your video I enjoyed it very much
