[tomchuk001]

I just got one of them suction mounts, they work awesome. Bet you wish you had something with a thumb here eh?

[doZerrpowerr564]

have you seen the new cat 390dl??

[xtheGamer100]

Movis nice:) really have all now know.

Would be glad if you maybe more because of dredging for example, would show. Caterpillar 385C or so characters like now beat them all by heart and I would be happy to see new again:)

Keep it up:)

Oh yes, I have translated as Googel can xD

Comes from Germany and my English is not very good:)

[jose385cl]

nice

[JTFRACING13]

How do you get the suction to stick

[vantagetes]

@JTFRACING13 Umm when you push in the middle it squeezes the air out and creates a negative pressure (aka vacuum). The force of the air pressure outside holds the cup to the window as it is sealed. Pro tip: use a quality suction cup.

Now thats the way to get rid of trees!!! awesome vid!!!

[fox13z400]

is their more to this video? i hope so lol i liked seeing u back in action on the 385. that's like the machine that started it all for you, and its a beast! my god that thing is like a tank on steroids with a bucket lol

[lambejr1]

[farlinj]

In other words its just as well and you saved a bit of money wackin the bush man I love the big iron

[JTFRACING13]

Were do you suction cup your camera

[vantagetes]

@JTFRACING13 Side window.

[jessenp20162725]

Is this the 385 you used too operate?

[vantagetes]

@jessenp20162725 No, it is our first General Purpose configuration 385. The second one we bought was the ME and then the Powerstripe was a GP as well.

[TIGERCAT660]

bad ass machine

[diggerman57]

Nothing like doin a little pioneering to get where you need to go . Did you lose your bearings towards the end, or were you just looking for the best way down?

[vantagetes]

@diggerman57 Was looking for the manhole from the telephone company. Figured they wouldn't be too happy if I ran it over with 85 tons of metal.

[farmboy26ful]

Put a thumb on that thing and go join chris!

[vantagetes]

@farmboy26ful Then when get a purse and start blowin dudes too? Real men don't need thumbs. I once loaded a truck with a Bomag packer running on 3 cylinders with the radio on a polka station and talking on the phone...haha

[farmboy26ful]

@vantagetes Wow, multitask much?

[vantagetes]

@farmboy26ful It's the DDnB way!

[farmboy26ful]

@vantagetes lol

[darensmiles4]

@vantagetes Thumbs only spoil you.

[crompton33]

Thats more like it! just like the old days....you and a CAT 385.

[Kane0441]

who broke the window?

[letsdig18]

I can definently tell you dont do clearing very often!

[JimBruce42]

@letsdig18 I thought he was just trying to be like you Chris, look he's got the cracked windshield and everything ;)

[dicin29]

@JimBruce42 lol i think your right

[letsdig18]

@JimBruce42 haha funny thing is nothing hit my glass to break it! its slammed shut oneday and cracked

[JimBruce42]

@letsdig18 that sucks... sometimes weird things like that happen

[vantagetes]

@letsdig18 You're right, I'm also not land clearing in this video either Chris.

[1toomanyhobbies]

@vantagetes

[1toomanyhobbies]

@vantagetes I say great job. I mean, you didn't hit any grading markers... :)

[Gacekspojler]

fantastic, could you upload more videos where you load trucks by cat385? Would be nice

[hornywigger]

Is this an old video? I thought you were foreman now.

[jamiebest]

hey vantagetes, do you have your own excavating company or are you a hired operator?

[vantagetes]

@jamiebest Foreman.

[4inches4u]

@vantagetes over here operaters make more than the foreman.....about 38 a hour, well union jobs anyway. As for tower crane operators, MEGA - BUCKS 200k+

[vantagetes]

@4inches4u Around here they take the best operators and make them foremen, that way they can train and groom operators into future replacements or jr foremen. Everyone starts at the bottom and works their way up that way you know all the aspects of the job you are in charge of.

[VE9REJ]

Keep me coming we love it

Reg

[constructionfan]

385's dont need paths LOL!

[vantagetes]

@constructionfan Where we're going... we don't need roads (as he flips down glasses and pours a redbull into the Mr Fusion).

[brenty83]

Great video man!!! i love 385

[dicin29]

whats up with the high vis vest?????? your in the machine and when i go to job sites and they dig electrical wirers up and what not we go in the hole to fix them so i wear one but why in the machine when your moving to a spot????

[redheadedduckhunter]

@dicin29 He has to wear one when he is outside of the machine and just to save time he just wears it all the time.

[JimBruce42]

@dicin29 Could be his company's policy. Company I work for has requires that you have to wear a hard hat and high res vest 100% of the time. In a machine or not. There are a lot of larger companies doing this now or days because more and more customer/clients have a list of safety requirements just to work on their job.

[dicin29]

@JimBruce42 ok thanks

[farlinj]

How do you drop a 385 off by mistake?? Is that a costly move

Great video as always

[tarheellax92]

@farlinj where he works they can move a 385 all in one piece

[Cat314DLCR]

i think he meant the moves droped it off to early, they werent ready at the jobsite yet@farlinj

[vantagetes]

@farlinj I had two sites and they were side by side. The machine got dropped off at the top of the hill and the counterweight went to the bottom! Since it was cheaper they brought the counterweight back up and we put it together up there, then I blazed a trail through the trees to down where it was supposed to start working. Don't worry the trees were being removed anyways.

[kiljoysvnzr0]

"What powerline?" Ya know, I have had that conversation before, it didn't end quite as well as yours did.

[dicin29]

@kiljoysvnzr0 lol

[casecx700]

I got to say you are pretty good at that being able to talk on the phone and run an excavator at the same time I can hardly walk and talk on the phone at the same time lol. Anyways what was the project that you wear working on?

[specialks1953]

A thumb would be so useful for some of that. You did good but a thumb would speed it up. Thanks for the ride along. Did you ever get where you were going? - I guess you did because you made it back to post the video, nevermind. lol
