I think it has more to do with a worn out machine than the Operator. Appears to me that it doesn’t have much for brakes and he has to use reverse to control it. I highly doubt you could do better. That man has probably forgotten more about running equipment than you will ever know.
The slab being pushed into the water should have 3 feet of rebar sticking out of the end of the slab spaced every 2 feet on the shoreside that is then bent down into a concrete footer to keep the slab in place.
@@Tjkruse9889 you gotta know where you are at and where the loader is at. In that current situation it isn’t the best because the loader is downhill and that guy wasn’t very smart by putting a 2 by 4 In front of the slab😂 if you don’t know the operator ur right but if you know the operator and have been working for some time you guys should be experienced just by eye contact and trust
The people on here comment in thinking that concrete's gonna go anywhere or it's too far it aint gonna move I promise you he did probably put it a little too far in but it aint going anywhere
It won't be gone in a flood. You wouldn't think I mean it's already in water I get it's moving much faster when it floods but if the water is strong enough to pull it then it's gonna pull it if it was more on the bank. Being more in the water and letting it settle and if it floods then it should stay because it's settled and all if it was more on the bank then the water would erode the dirt on the bank and then take the slab with it. Or atleast that's my opinion
We were worried about that but guess we've been lucky. Had some really bad floods and concrete still right where we left it. That being said we should have poured the rest by now so we didn't have to worry about it
One tap, jeez you people are something else. I've seen men knocked out of their rubber boots by excavator buckets and go back to work. Perhaps you just saw a strengthening of the gene pool.
I'd say as long as it stays in one piece you should have no problems. No engineer but as long as the whole slab has contact with ground I'll bet the suction from the mud will keep it in place.
“I think he put it in too far”... that’s what she said!
Neither to Me or you too most likely im afraid
Damn it, Dwight! That's MY Joke.... Michael Scott
I searched the comments just to make sure someone made this joke
It's a good thing they had the women to supervise or there is no telling what would have happened.

Guy almost gets killed and she’s laughing. I found the whole video excruciating to watch.
Operator: welp thats not the brake lets try 4 more levels n pedals
Not sure P.J. was the best choice of operator.

That front-end loader about ran over those two guys. What a nut.
We have the same type of boat ramp going into the Bay. It floods 2 times a day and they are still there 20 years later.
I would not be standing in front of a front end loader under pressure what if the slab gives and breaks and plows into u
...and you can tell it didn't have any brakes...every time he inched forward, he was in reverse letting off throttle to move closer
You only need to worry when somebody yells "Hey Y'all , watch this "
Than you get out of the way
@@baseballevan8 ur definitely not the smart one in ur family

There's always a woman who knows more than the men who are actually getting things done. Great idea! Good work!
Thanks
now just add another section and you will be all set
I need one of this for my lake. Will look into it
Yes very easy to do yourself if you have a very large loader and a woman whom knows nothing about anything but has an opinion.
Pj's a genius
way too many Foreman’s
Driver. Hold my beer …
Good my new friend....👍
The people on here comment in thinking that concrete's gonna go anywhere or it's too far it aint gonna move I promise you he did probably put it a little too far in but it aint going anywhere
It'll be alright
If it washes away , do it again 😃
Dang i wouldn't be anywhere close to the guy driving hahaha
We didn't know the brakes on his equipment didn't work lol! But for being 92 years old he's still out getting it done!
@@brianwashburn4917 haha it got the job done. And for 92 not bad at all 😀
Brilliant!
What did you today?
Moved some stuff

It's still there and just fine! Hoping to get next section poured very soon
lol loader has no brakes ...you boys are braver
Those old wheel loaders are notorious for having lousy or no brakes at all
She will wear him out about how far it went in oh no
Don’t worry mam, that shit ain’t going anywhere, no flood will ever sweep that away, but nice job narrating the video tho
Lol! My wife didn't know the river is usually 1 foot lower. But ya she loves too tell me how to do my job lol!
@@brianwashburn4917 Lol!! because every woman knows better than us (men)
Put it in to far ? they might be able to launch a conoe there as deep as it got
Yep.
That’s actually…………..what she said . Giggity
Pour some more concrete and it’ll be perfect. 👍
Is this the Delaware?
No. It's eagle creek in ohio
Hold my beer!
is it still there or did it float away?
Still there. Boats launch great. Plan to pour another section this summer.
@@brianwashburn4917 great news my friend
No he should only one halfway in with that I seen the same thing done in pymatuning lake and they totally lost the pad after a heavy rain
We were worried about that but guess we've been lucky. Had some really bad floods and concrete still right where we left it. That being said we should have poured the rest by now so we didn't have to worry about it
ua-cam.com/video/OOy_fob3t5I/v-deo.html These engineers 100% disagree with your comment.
Crazy... 🤦♂️
Why the hell did he put it in so far? Lmao
You call that turtle a boat ? 🤔
No it's not a boat. It's a floating trampoline for the grand kids
2:50 that's what she said
Это типа заезд в воду?
Для погружения лодки в воду
No brakes
Should be at least ten feet for boats up to 20 feet which would ok for river boats.
We went with what was there but you are 100% correct! 9' a little tight
I seen a man get killed on the job, just one tap with that bucket will kill you. YOU never stand so close to Heavy Equipment, not worth it.
One tap, jeez you people are something else. I've seen men knocked out of their rubber boots by excavator buckets and go back to work. Perhaps you just saw a strengthening of the gene pool.
Its a boat ramp don't push it in the river
That's how it's supposed to be
Won’t it just wash out
We were a little concerned about that but no it has not washed away yet. It's been threw some really bad floods too
@@brianwashburn4917 nice!!!
I'd say as long as it stays in one piece you should have no problems. No engineer but as long as the whole slab has contact with ground I'll bet the suction from the mud will keep it in place.
Размоет водой и провалится всё.
Пищит пипец просто
First good rain & it will be gone
ua-cam.com/video/OOy_fob3t5I/v-deo.html nope
Kansas City loves the shit out of that! sweet!
Bad choice on your pic for the operator, he shows inexperience.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣👍👍
Unfortunately their probably right
River level summer pool one foot lower. She didn't know but she don't hold back when she thinks I messed up lol!
It’s funny until you go to the er
Operator is terrible, wow.
No brakes..
. ,шоза
Wow that was a waste
It's OK. Slab went in perfect actually. Going to be pouring next section very soon
@@brianwashburn4917 what body of water is that, how deep? I did the same recently, 17 feet deep louisiana bayou
