I was the opposite. When I was growing up through school I wanted to work with computers 🤣 Funny how life works. Thanks for watching

Limavady. Not a million miles away. Cheers 👍

I think you're being a tad over dramatic mate. I'm aware of where he is and where the end of the pipe is. If he slips and falls, he might hurt himself, yes, but I can assure you I would have seen it. Thanks for watching. 👍

@ That’s what everyone says until something happens.

Thank you 👍

It is level pal!! I wouldn't be digging otherwise.

Gopro hero 10

Appreciate it pal.

Thanks mate 👍

Got it in 1 mate 👍

Thank you

Thanks for watching

Your not wrong lad. It's certainly not as easy as when I started. So much health and safety these days it's hard to get the experience without paying out big money for your tickets 1st. There is big companies out there who run apprenticeship schemes for digger/dumper operators. Maybe worth a look?

The stone in the middle is the excess stone from the piles. I did save what I could my digging bucket is wider than the piles so to dig the stone out I would have to either dig them out along with clay which is pointless or else change bucket and dig them out which slows me down and as I'm on price that's a no go. Stone is already classed as surplus, so any stone i do save is a bonus.

Cheers pal 👍

Thanks 👍

I use a gopro hero 10 mate 👍

Thanks mate. Driving machines was never the plan. But my uncle had a construction firm and my dad worked there. When I was at school went with my dad every sat and worked as a young labourer helping out where I could. Earned some pocket money. 1 day I was on site and the guy meant to drive the mini digger didn't show and I was the only person there so I jumped in and stockpiled some topsoil that was being delivered to site in trucks. The next week I was offered a job to train on a little 7.5 T hitachi knuckle boom and I accepted. I had a job lined up in a factory working shifts but went with my uncle instead. That was 20 years ago now. 🤷‍♂️🤣

@@irishdiggerman5691 AND THE DIGGERMAN WAS BORN LOL

If you say so buddy 👍

Haha cheers pal

Thank you pal. Appreciate the comment. Glad you enjoyed my video 👍👍

Hell yeah I won’t touch those things if it’s utility work or if I got guys below me. I am DOGS SHIT. Dug a pond once turned out pretty good but I’m not smooth like this. lol. Good shit best I’ve seen.

Nice one 👍

Cat controls? I don't follow! Is this not the controls for all makes?

@irishdiggerman5691 cat controls and backhoe controls (iso v sae) cat controls have swing and stick/dipper on left stick, boom and bucket on right stick, sae or backhoe/John Deere pattern have swing and boom on left stick, stick/dipper and bucket on right stick.

Ah yes I get you now. Yeah don't think I'd ever be able to get used to sea controls. Heads hurting just thinking about it 🤣

@irishdiggerman5691 same haha 😄

Thanks mate. I've been operating now for just short of 20 years. So plenty of practice. I wasn't always as smooth as that 🤣 topcon is what's commonly known as a gps system. So on that screen I will have a drawing and that allows me to see where I am on the site. I can see the outlines of buildings, kerbs anything really that I need to know and also gives me heights. So no need to wait on engineers setting up lines etc. I just turn that on and dig like f**k as they say 🤙🤣

Thanks for watching 👍

Haha cheers mate.

Yes it beeps when you get within 50mm above or below set grade.

To build up ground levels pal so it can be topsoiled. Dried out pretty quick tbh

I've no idea pal. I never did any course for gps. I got In the cab and taught myself as I went.

🤣🤣 no worries mate. Tbh I look forward to getting a spell on machine without gps these days. It's so more relaxed. No pressure to push and dig on like fuck. But honestly no need to stress mate. It's just the same as some1 spraying a line on the ground for you to dig 2 and having some1 beside you with a spinning laser but instead of the line being on the ground it's on a screen in front of your face and instead of a man pointing at you to go up or down the screen flashes and tells you direct. No middle man. 👍👍

You'll be fine, mate. It Really is a piece of cake once you get your head around the basics of using the screen in the cab. It's simply like having a drawing inside the cab that tells you how deep to dig or how much to fill. Don't be stressing, pal. After a couple of days, you'll wonder how we ever managed without it. You become so much more efficient, and eventually, the only person you will need is an operator for the dumper/roller and maybe 1 groundworker, depending on the job you're doing. Most of the time, I'm left alone. No one bothers me. If I need something, I ask. Otherwise, you are able to just dig like fuck 🤣🤣 gps won't make a bad operator good. But it will make a good operator better 👌👌

Thanks man. 👌

Thanks mate 👍

Will we ever know it all pal? Still learning everyday!! How can I help? Pick away 😉

Cheers pal. Appreciate the comment. Thanks for watching 👍
