best way to learn is to do tryl and aeier
December 23rd, 2008 at 7:01 am
i agere with u
December 23rd, 2008 at 7:01 am
I have been running equipment now for close to 3 years and even “operators” learn something new everyday. The “operators” that trained me took time to give some good advice and tricks when running something. The only way to really learn though is to get in the seat and do it.
December 23rd, 2008 at 7:01 am
I don’t even operate a loader and I knew that was how to get out.
Rookie use your head. I think you owe everyone a beer.

“Why’d you cut out the middle part?”
I didn’t. See the video that this one responded to.
December 23rd, 2008 at 7:01 am
Why’d you cut out the middle part? Brain farts happen to everyone–including me. There’s value in learning from other’s mistakes. I almost rolled my Bobcat 953 with a backhoe down a hill once–cuz I was grading and not paying attention to a good point of reference. Anyway, I had expected that you scratched the street because I’ve seen it happen lots of times and I thought I saw your bucket had a pin in it–like the Wayne-Roy buckets/couplers do. Don’t put me in the “Loud mouth” cat, pleez.

That’s right, Large. There’s no substitute for experience, and in our line of work, it usually takes a mistake every now and then to really nail a lesson home.
As far as those ’superb’ operators – well, I suppose that about the only thing they are proficient at operating are their own very loud mouths.
Their type typically end up as old, stupid men who are a disgrace to humanity; they should have wisdom to impart to the younger generation, but all they have is ignorant, arrogant foolishness.

Hey Al,
Nice editting……. but i wasn`t expecting a video response to the rookie from you.
Still waiting for a video response from bigjongpls, kidofphilly, u214, Clowjuggalo, etc.
Guess those superb opperators cant opperate a camera !
One of the old gantry crane opperators who was going to enjoy his pension told me when i was the rookie : “sunny, experience is something you got, right after the moment you needed it most” meaning as much as make a mistake and learn from it, i`ll never forget !
December 23rd, 2008 at 7:01 am
Good to hear from you again, Pete.
I’m a company man so far. I’ve long wanted to venture out as an owner operator, but so far it hasn’t happened for me.
For now, as long as I can keep paying the bills, and maybe get ahead of them somewhat, I guess that’ll have to do.
PS: The ‘new’ eye is still working fine. I can tell it probably won’t be too long before I have to get the other one done.

Hi Al,
I was told that you cant get a backhoe stuck. I remember before I could operate the machine, I could only run the machine. It wasnt until i actually became one with the machine that i understood what it all meant. I watched a few of your latest posts. Do you work for a company, or yourself? I find good labor is hard to find. I have a good grade man available, but I do most work myself. Im peeling the brick off a house currently, shooting vids ill post tis winter.Good to see your vids
Pete

Silly rookies.
December 23rd, 2008 at 7:01 am
He should have backed in and used the rear bucket to swing the risers out, instead of driving straight into a hole on wet, leaf covered ground. It would have been a very stupid thing for an experienced operator to do, but he was just learning the ropes, so it wasn’t a big deal.
It’s a mistake he won’t be likely to repeat.
December 23rd, 2008 at 7:01 am
very nice al maybe now they will get the picture
December 23rd, 2008 at 7:01 am
easy to exit !!!
December 23rd, 2008 at 7:01 am
I suppose this “trap” was caused by wet ground. What precautions could he have taken to prevent it from happening again, if indeed he had to work there again? Thanks.
December 23rd, 2008 at 7:01 am
Yes Al you re right.
It s allways be the angle of vision. How to make or create a vid or a photo !
You have been made a vid first from you” who is now the rookie”. That was funny and honest how it really was!
You have a big kind of humor to make fun from yourself-not everybody likes to do that.
Then allways those comments- people anonymusly
say something about stupid operator and stuff like that and bad words like f… i wouldn t let them make a comment on my vids !
I allready blocked those
