I used to operate an old 4 stick Ford backhoe when I first started in the excavation business, but I've never operated those Case controls. I bet that would be comical to try for me. You did good.
They are a different critter for sure! It's always comical when I first try to operate the case controls. It takes me a while to (kinda) get used to them. Thanks buddy!
Great video Sir, !! You are speaking my language when you are on a 3 stick foot swing CASE backhoe! That Super M is a little nicer than my L but almost the same machine. It's funny how all operaters are different, I grew up on 3 stick, but doesn't bother me a bit to hop off of it on to another backhoe with wobble sticks or a excavator, but put me on a John Deere control backhoe and its another monkey humping a football situation like you said. Have been around a few operators that were almost the exact opposite. A good friend of mine who is a excellent operator can run almost anything but can't hit the ground with my backhoe or run a dozer with a accelerator instead of a decelerator. Looks like you done a fine job to me!
lol, yeah it’s all about muscle memory and how your brain is programmed. If I spend a few hours on a backhoe with case controls I can start to get better. But, still not as smooth as wobble sticks or pilot controls. Thanks Dave!
Did he say monkey and football in the same sentence, 😮😊 this is going to be interesting, usually when I’ve run a backhoe its more akin to hot air balloon and a monkey, 😂😂😂😂😂, so you are doing great as far as I’m concerned young man. Nice job, thanks for the video, enjoyed watching.
Just came across your channel mate. Love your content, great operator. Love the Cat 953. Something about a track loader with a 4 in 1 gets me excited haha. Alex
Never ran one and refused to. I worked with guys years ago in the late 60’s and early 70’s and that’s all we had around. They were use to them and ran them like old pro’s but I wouldn’t run that back end just the front. I don’t like skid steers with foot and hand controls either. They can keep-‘em.
Always helping a buddy (who surely will help YOU one day) QUESTION: No laying a ribbon in the hole for phone - not hazard enough like GAS & POWER - just wondering - THANKS! Still a place for the BACKHOE (my wife used to call a 'hoppy toad') *NOTHING HILLARIIOUS in getting DONE what you set out TO DO* To laugh is a FOOL!
Aren't backhoes with foot swing fun?😁I finally ordered pilots on my SN580 WT, and I'm never going back to 4 sticks or wobbles. Less operator fatigue and I think a better rate of production. I'm gonna bet that if I hopped into a foot swing machine I would be way worse than you were, it's been a minute, or two.
lol! The foot swing is definitely an acquired taste. On a backhoe I’m ok with wobble sticks but pilots are nice for sure. The 580SL I had was originally foot swing but I had them convert it to wobble sticks. Thanks buddy!

You did a pretty good job for being a case control lol great video buddy 👍
lol, thank’s Willard!

Lol! Thanks Terry! Lots of hours in a backhoe just not with those crazy case controls.

Hey Alex, appreciate that! Yep, loaders are hard to beat. Thanks!

Lol, yeah I'm with ya on that. I ran a Bobcat with foot controls and it was a mess! Thanks buddy!
I am surprised that those big rocks they would allow you to backfill with those without breaking the electrical cable.
If it wasn’t in a super thick conduit they wouldn’t.

Yes, sometimes we do. That was a short run through the woods so not much chance of it getting dug up. Thanks Sonny!
