Good information but never have the grader blade facing the tench you’re digging. The blade should be behind you and lowered so that when digging the excavator can’t lift and the blade can never get hit by the digging bucket. It also gives you extra room to dig closer to the machine.
You're not wrong. With machines that light, it is recommended to run the blade behind. However, it depends on the density of the material. If the material is easy to dig then the blade is fine in front. It's hard on the idlers and final drive to run backwards. I imagine where he's from, it is light material. Notice how he had his boom fully extended? That's a sure sign that the material is easy to dig.
Top educational video for novice drivers like me.
Can you show us a 2t and 3t excavator doing the same work
Good video, good information mate.
