  • Just a sample of my summer. Loading some gravel trucks for the North highway connector in Red Deer Alberta. Loader is a John Deere 650D LC.
    Few mistakes, nothing huge though. But I'd rather show an actual sample and not just the "best" stuff.

    A good loader operator makes for a happy trucker. Team work makes the job go smoooooooooooootttthhheerrr.

    Every truck driver cleaned their sideboards while they pulled their tarps over the load. There wasn't a single windshield complaint the whole summer. As for the half bucket idea, this was a production environment and that would have gotten me yelled at very quickly.
    While you might think a 650 is overkill, most of the summer I was using a Komatsu 800 to load the same trucks. It cut about 15-30 seconds off my load time. The people paying the bills decide how it works.

    your a good operator, I know how hard it is to make everyone happy, most that complain are jealous.

  • @Millsy.g
    @Millsy.g  12 років тому +3

    First off, they have to clean the side boards every single time, even if there is nothing on them. Second. it's a huge bucket where, to keep it down to only 2 buckets and low cycle times, you can't avoid putting a little bit on the sides every single time. Yes I did try to keep it to a minimum. And when the 800 was going, it was steady the whole day. If you can load as much as an 800 can in one day, with a 350, this I gotta see.

    Good, clean loading; consistent. Some operators just dont get it, but not the case here. Good job!

  • @Millsy.g
    @Millsy.g  12 років тому +2

    In fact Calgary/Red Deer/ Edmonton do indeed have different rules. Calgary demands cleanout areas for the tires on every truck, and silt fence around almost every square inch of a job. Red Deer does not do any of that. As for trucks leaving sites in Red Deer, they do not need control, however sometimes we use flag people just so our trucks don't get stopped up. Is it "normal" to load with a 650/800? no. But normally you aren't truck hauling 300,000+ m3 from 3 different borrows to one jobsite.

    @vantagetes It does have more than enough power to use a larger bucket. I'm not 100% if this is the same size as the rest of the 600's or not. Though most of the time we have really wet heavy clay, so a larger bucket might not be worth it. Only thing we have that I know has a larger bucket is the Komatsu 800. Also this 650 was bought at 1000 hours last winter, might just be what it came with.

  • @Millsy.g
    @Millsy.g  12 років тому +2

    I don't know where you come from, but out here, we have to make sure each axle is at legal limits. so the trucks tell me if I'm loading one axle too heavy over the others.

    1 minute to 1:30 load times. 12-13 trucks, 25 minute haul round trip including loading. (that gives 1:50 per truck when you included 'pulling forward into position') And there is no such thing as a haul license.

      I'm guessing you are used to trucks in Europe? This is the normal style here. I believe the main difference is because our roads are normally much bigger, they don't have to make the trucks so tiny. Longer wheelbases allow for heavier loads. They are probably cheaper too.

As for you doing this longer than me, well I don't know how old you are, and you don't have any videos of your own work.

      @Millsy.g  5 років тому +1

      This is a long time ago, but when a truck is loaded for public roads, it must not be overweight or the driver is fined. So they weigh the trucks empty and loaded. You want to be less than 100kg under their max allowable load. But not over at all. So I had to be very very careful not to overload them. That is why you see the last bucket is not 'full' on some of them. The front box got 1.75 buckets, a "pup" got 2 full ones. The "wagons" got 2.75 buckets, and the "quad wagons" got 4 full buckets. (none in this video). So no, there was no underloading in this video at all.
