Spent the day on my backhoe today too. Not much of a better way I don’t think. Nice video as always Frank. I’m always watching hoping to pick up some tips and tricks. Been working on moving myself with the backhoe stick lately instead of getting off and repositioning by driving
Really enjoyed the chat. Always enjoy listening to folks explain how they do something. If you ever get time and/or bored, could you talk about the difference between controls?? I learned on wobble sticks. Friends only use 4 sticks. Pilot controls are becoming the norm.... Is one better than the other?
It's 01.50am here in Rockhampton and I'm sitting watching Mr Cunningham and Mr B slinging dirt, before I head off to take the train 6hrs back to Emerald. Have a good one Franko. BTW do you ever find yourself in the middle of others having barnys? Arguments? Seen some funny sights in my previous earthmoving life. Cya. Adrian
Worldwide #backhoeman! Thanks for watching my friend, as for barnys, I see them happen from time to time. But I’m usually about my business, and most people let me do my thing. But I will never forget an old dozer hand that was out on his dozer track pointing and jumping and yelling at some young scraper hands down in Texas. He was trying to get his point across. Bout an hour later the whole crew was scouring the site on foot, seems in all his excitement his wallet fell out and was made part of the fill!
@Digginok Yep, some funny stuff... I was watching our boss leap onto the side of trucks and start yelling and bashing on the windscreen of a dump truck with a grade stake. The driver didn't see Rodney coming, but it sure livened him up after hahaha... if only I had had a video camera back then. Working on a video about my trip to Sicily, hopefully people from the trip will see it. Cya later.
Beautiful work! That first ditch where the bottom was slicked up was awesome! Looked like some decent dirt...

Always like your videos. Just like dad always said about farm equipment, there is a big difference between a driver and an operator.
Your dad wasn’t wrong, operators do a bit more work than drivers. Thanks for watching!
Frank you always make it look easy
Thanks! It’s actually the backhoe, it is easy 😂
Diggin Shawnee, that's OK for me!✔👍
It’s mostly all OK! 😂
I think you need to put on a class for digging footings 👍👍
I'm here for the stupid stuff, like backhoes and how to run them so please keep rattling on :)
Well done Mr. Frank.
Thanks!
Very nice Frank🫡
Thanks my friend! Hope you’re doing well

Thanks for watching! I hope to do something on that subject at some point.

You should change you're logo to CNCOK digging.. it's not egotistical if it's fact...
