This guy makes it look easy...it's not...many hours in the seat to get to this guy's level...but, if you want a challenge, try digging a basement with a wheel loader...whole different ball game...I've got a ton of hours on track loaders digging basements and then moved to Colorado where all the basement are dug using wheel loaders...adding in tires, articulation and rear axle pivot changes everything...basic concepts and steps of digging a basement stay the same, but the way the machine reacts takes a lot of getting used to....again, not taking anything away from this guy or track loaders, but wheel loaders are a whole different animal...way more difficult.
He’s got eyes in front of the bucket.
Excellent operator!
Good operator there
absolutely!
Agree
I'm 59...One thing on my bucket list before I die is to sit behind the controls of one of those just for one full day, just to push dirt around. Lol
There is a place in Minnesota where you can operate machinery for a day or for a few hours.
You know, it makes me laugh, people today go crazy for the little rubber tracked skid steers, but can't see the value in these? It's ignorance.
I love track loaders. I wish more people in Michigan ran them
These things are awesome. You see them everywhere around here. Thanks for watching!
You can't beat them! By the time the get the trackhoe and dozer or skid loader moved the track loader is on to the next one!
I’m in Massachusetts. I’ve never seen one except for times I’ve been to Georgia.
Caterpillar number one 1 in the world ❤
Looks so fun

Doing this with a wheel loader is best but also the hardest to master. I use only Hanomag far better than anything by miles for this type of work.
Lh
Rattle your teeth compared to an Excavator !! and with an Excavator you're not dragging all that dead weight which costs diesel
