    Pioneering a bench. I see. Didn’t at first. Now that is what operating is all about. Anyone can drive a excavator, many can run an excavator, but the elite, they operate an excavator.

    @blakesbitch Haven’t run any of their excavators but I like their rock trucks a lot!

  3. blakesbitch Says:

    love the video and love that machine they must be brillrant to drive.what do you think of komatsus?

  4. vantagetes Says:

    I think the 10 minutes is just the average length you can get out of 2gb with a regular HD camera. I don’t think it’s actually time capped but file size capped.

  5. welderboy14 Says:

    ya it must be the hd because thay havent made the time limit any longer :(

    Thanks for replying

  6. vantagetes Says:

    I think they bumped up the time limit, either that or it’s just limited by the actual file size. My videos are in a new highly compressed HD format so I can get more video length with the same size card.

    Great video

    how did you get 13 mins of video on you tube

  8. vantagetes Says:

    Yeah that guy was a cheap ass. He did send a nice hat though, helps keep the sun out of my eyes. Hey look at that, I’m even wearing it in the video!

  9. JimBruce42 Says:

    Some days I’m not sure he does, my back still feels funny from the rattling I got the other day, haha… too bad you didn’t get glass cleaner with that nice vest;)

  10. vantagetes Says:

    You run your machine with your eyes open Pip? Haha yeah that sun made it suck even worse. I got a couple spots of mud and then my wiper smeared it all over and I didn’t have time to stop and fix it until coffee.

  11. 345MEdigger Says:

    hey wing how about some glass cleaner??

  12. MultiSafron Says:

    thanks for the reply buddy, sounds like fairly decent hours similar to here in australia where i work. keep the vids coming always interesting to see how you manouver about with what your doing. and if you have any tips on loading trucks and digging trenches with excavators much appreciated cheers mate

    It’s still slow so I doubt they will want to go through the paper work to get a foreign operator =/ Plus winter is coming so things will get even slower.

  14. vantagetes Says:

    Haha oh I’m not so sure. I bet you say that to all your subscriptions ;)

  15. vantagetes Says:

    Right now our company is going from 7am to 330pm. 15 min break at 10am, and 30 min (unpaid lunch) at 1pm. Tracked machine operators get 30 min after that to shovel tracks etc (usually do a little clean up around the site if needed as well).

  16. bjerton Says:

    Is there any room for a Swedish operator at Kidco (Hope I spelled it right) or are they still laying people off?
    All the machineoperators at my company got fired, so I only have 1 week left of work…

  17. bendu22 Says:

    i just want to say you are the BEST !!!

  18. MultiSafron Says:

    hi mate just wondering what sought of hours you would put in for a typical days work on a site like this?? do you get luch and smoko breaks?? cheers

  19. vantagetes Says:

    Yup landfill still.

  20. ebpierce55 Says:

    right there probally will be at the rate they make em and all the money cats getting

  21. Slimdor Says:

    where is this?, still at the landfill? and that looks weird seeing the dirt fall just feet front of your face

  22. bigpete405 Says:

    good video. so cool to see how you set up on a hill

  23. vantagetes Says:

    My camera used ACHD Lite* a type of HD format that has high compression for smaller file sizes, and I have a 2 GB card. These videos are pushing around 1.8 GB in size (I have to upload them overnight).

  24. vantagetes Says:

    I started off on a 330, then an old 375 showed up that no one wanted to run. I took it of course, I didn’t mind the heat and dust I just wanted a big machine. After I proved myself on that I got the 385C LME.

  25. vantagetes Says:

    Yeah it’s kinda weird working at my company. I’ll run a 385 loading 773s and swinging around a D10 all day, and it seems small. I know every corner of the machine and where it is. Then we might have a month or two off in the winter and I get back in and scare the hell out of me the first 10 min cause it’s freaking massive.
