Got to appreciate your time here. How informative was that? Thnx Mike.

He obviously did it off camera but if you’re loading an excavator like this. Make sure you tuck the stick & bucket all the way so that it won’t hit any overpasses or anything like that.

When this Excavator Construction Tractor gets towed. The tower is the one who place the tractor on the flat bed or the construction worker?

Thank you for the education I like it and I'm following you

i use to love loading the huge rubber tire scarifying machines, huge balloon tires and chains, 3 inches of each tire would only be on the float at any given time, and all you had was some young dodo driver, that was usless for any help. i use to load and unload the road building excavators, on an off the side, the floats the big paper mill wood lands had were over axle with step beaver tail, drop decks didnt come out until the mid 80's

Is it best to have the drive gear facing backwards?

[btooc]

Was wondering why you didn’t lower your boom and rest the bucket, so you could release the pressure in the system? Good video detailing the loading aspect though 👍

Awesome - always enjoy seeing Dirt Perfect. I watch HML as well but I don't think I'll ever operate heavy machinery. I just find it fascinating :)

[haidenthomas]

I would normally drive up the ramps with the bucket tucked in and when I get to the camover point I stop crawling and extend the bucket and stick out, shifting the centre of gravity forward and set the machine onto the deck before crawling into position. I find it safer that way

Hola. Necesito saber las medidas de las cadenas y de los trinquete, para el amarre de una Caterpillar 320.
Gracias.

U can keep the bucket close to the trailer while you're loading, about 2-3 inches, and the break over won't be as bad. Should probably clean your tracks off as well. But nicely done. Just my 2 cents is all.

[ferdinandabarquez]

[darylwiddicombe]
