      I think because running equipment is where Mike excels. I won’t learn much from Levi running equipment. Also running equipment = good content and it’s best for the channel if Mike runs it because we all tune in for Mike more so than other members of the family.

    Good evening! Fantastic to watch you work with this machine. Sure looks like your learning curve was really short! It’s already like you were born into it. Great work on that fill for your roadbed.
    I got to thinking about all the advice you get. I’d be willing to bet that no one watching these has spent anything like the time you have thinking about what you’re wanting to do. You really understand your equipment and have a great feel for the characteristics of the shale and other materials. You know how to make the machine do what you want it to do, but perhaps more importantly, you know how to get the outcome you want. Knowing how the material needs to be moved, shaped, packed etc is the difference between a machine operator and a craftsman. In everything you do. 👍

    You are right its a "beast" of a machine!! In my younger days my dad had a 310 case track loader change gears front to reverese each pass. Then he bought a 350 track loader with hydrostatic transmission and we thought we had gone to heaven. I spent many a hour on that machine until I went to college in 1976. The technogolgy now is amazing and it looks as if you have already mastered this machine!! Thanks for sharing enjoy your videos!! Stay safe always!!

      Newer machines have gotten amazingly quiet. Our Deere 35G excavator can easily be talked over at idle, for example. The quieter they make them, the safer the jobsite is and the more attractive they are to buyers. Unlike guys building straight-piped diesel truck, operators know they’ll be sitting on top of that motor at high RPM all day.
