The Rookie - Part Two

[Brootalak47]

im in the werid part of youtube again....

i think i should've taken that left two videos ago instead of the right..

[kimchiman1000]

@Brootalak47

You'll NEVER escape now!!!! Mwaa haaaahaaaa haaahahahahahahaahaahaahaaaaaa­aaa!!!!!

(Help! I've fallen and I can't reach my beer!)

[Crutchfield209]

dude im 14 and i could have easily gotten that backhoe out no problem

[brasmussen81]

@FUCKINROCKIT I like John Deere controls fairly well but that's all I have ever ran other than Case which I actually prefer

[tscholent]

this is actually exactly the kid I would personally make into a master of the trade because he has all the traits one needs:

1.Willing to learn 2.Not a no it all 3.Even temper 4. Fun loving

hope you make it a career (Albert Einstein who graduated from the university of zurich/switzerland failed his final math exam twice before he suceeded and he was one the funniest smart guys ever)

[inyourfacedouchebag]

this guy suck as a backhoe opr send his ass home with no pay

[metalmulisha1171]

it would of came out faster if you put the backhoe in reverse at the same time

[mikeatlee]

backhoes and any equipment with a boom and bucket never get stuck

[brasmussen81]

@mikeatlee Not always true

[HicktownFarmboy1314]

@mikeatlee Unless, theres a septic tank in the yard that your told and seen the maps and shouldn't be there, that sucks.......It was only a little Kubota so we took the trachoe and pulled it up out. That hurt when i hit the bottom.....yea they do get stuck.

[EA5T5IDE13KILLA]

GAY ASS MOMENT @ 3:11.....

[bockkey]

wow if u couldnt get it out of that hate to see what happens when i drop a tire in the trench lol rookie is right

[bawchicawawa2222]

once i sunk my case backhoe in like 5 feet on sludge

[Prozackityzac]

skills

[megasonify]

mr hat is tarded

[rfair2010]

MORON!

[Bergred]

Basic 101--Use the bucket for stucky situations; anyone using a bobcat in the woods or a muddy area should know this.

[carboumentliagaizka]

WELL DONE !!!!!

[djmatts1]

Damn tricky get out !

[xxHarveyMoonxx]

is it that vantagetes before he got his own channel or does it just look like him?

[macdisciple]

I never drove any equipment in my life and I could have figured out to try that...not sure I would have done it successfully though.

[Rangerbelt]

Any nitwit can get a rig stuck, it takes skill to get out. Now the rookie knows how to get himself out of a jam.

[FarewellToKings2112]

Tell the haters to piss off. Simple mistake, nice save by the veteran, and best of all no damage to the machine. Someday, you'll be one making the save. My dad has pulled levers for almost 40 years,

[13FravelJ]

Now you know something about these situations

[kodiakkiller316]

its not that hard to get it out of that

[syclone2550]

Ricardo, what a dumbass!

[WillieWonka928D]

Hey Al I read a few comment saying something about going through swaps with a Backhoe or something like that, and reminded me of something funny.

My uncle told back in the 90s he was looking for a used 4WD backhoe so he stops at this used equipment place and tells the owner he's looking for a 4WD backhoe. So the owner replies with, "No you don't need a 4WD backhoe! I can run rings around a 4WD backhoe with a 2WD backhoe!"

Me and my uncle always laugh about it

[kimchiman1000]

@WillieWonka928D

Well, maybe if the 4WD backhoe was shut off, lol!

[jeff82chevy]

Holy jerkyness with the hydralics batman

[kimchiman1000]

@jeff82chevy

Tread easy there, Robin, or you won't get to drive the Batmobile for a week.

[Ls7colorado]

@jeff82chevy its a case...

[SuperPissdrunx]

All operators do screw up, that's true. But damn, son, if I got out of the machine, and had someone else get me out, before I thought to lower the stabilizers and turn around to use the bucket, I wouldn't call myself "experienced".- But that doesn't necessarily make you a bad operator.

[wind2jammer]

better then when i backed the 580 in a hole early one mornin boss man showed up, got stuck ,so i was gonna be the hero,, backed up and fell in , right on front of the whole crew, one good thing is i did get my self out, stoopid things happen to stoopid people i guess cheers !

[holsten87]

Värdelösa människa

[outlaw3474]

Thier is nothing wrong with ragging him for that it was funny

[mikespeed100]

whats the purpose of this? Everyone makes mistakes when they are learning to operate, besides anyone thats an operator would know how to get the backhoe out of that simple situation. I am just kinda confused of the purpose of the video??

[kimchiman1000]

The purpose of this video is to show that even experienced operators (me, in this case) screw up, especially when they are being smug about another operator getting stuck, and eat some humble pie sometimes.

[kimchiman1000]

...almost forgot....

to see the screw up I was referring to, you'll need to see The Rookie - Part One.

[WillieWonka928D]

@mikespeed100 So he'll get all the retards that commented on the first Rookie video to shut up.

[waldenhouse]

You see, that's why supervisors get paid more than workers!

[Rhin0Neil]

At least he had the guts to ask for help and admit he made a mistake. Not like most big-heads who think they know it all..

[bubbloo9]

braggin about diggin a hole.

just like the fucktards i have to work with.

[Ozzy4eve]

I wish I was a digger driver, it looks like fun.

[anamatron9]

well i am actually left handed coincidentally.....

[kimchiman1000]

I agree. MOST Aussies and UKers that I've either met or known over the internet are a great bunch. There's just a very strange correlation between a very small percentage of them, and a very high percentage of the 'shit' comments. I thought I'd ask one of that small percentage for his view point, on the off chance that I might actually get a straight answer out of him. I'm not really expecting one though.

[mugwump666]

Very interesting video, I enjoyed it. Just typical stuff that happens around a construction site, lol. Newbie gets himself in trouble and a more experienced guy has to bail him out.

If that was you driving, I thought that you did a good job. I can't believe that people are so critical. "Damage" to the asphalt would disappear after a few 90 degree days. And even if the sidewalk got damaged, ;that is so easy to replace anyway, for REAL men, lol. We break and replace sidewalk every month.

[kimchiman1000]

Nice to get a comment from someone who has some good sense. Thanks bro!

[dr00pydog68]

only mistake I saw in the first vid was you forgot to lift the outrigers the first time you tried to back up. it probably would have poped right out.

[dr00pydog68]

too true.... buy a John Deere next time

[Joeey]

about to get your ass run over in the road

[NVMDSTEvil]

easy stuck lol :)

we had a 680E stuck over a 7 foot deep trench of soft dirt and clay (side caved in while driving along it to fill), was a bit more interesting :)

[Niercaaa]

I don't even have a licence to drive them, but I know how to use them. So easy... !

[kimchiman1000]

LOL!!!

[anamatron9]

it dont really look that old. beside it down far enough that part of the backhoe was jammed on the side walk so they way he did it was probally the best way to get it loose.

[chriscbr600rr77]

Nice recovery dude.

[kgaughan21eire]

muppets!!!!!

[scrapcar1980]

wot a shit video and shit driver

[kimchiman1000]

@scrapcar1980

Just purely out of curiosity, m8 - but I've noticed a pattern not only on my videos, but on a lot of other channels as well over the past year and a bit. It seems that upwards of 90% of the comments that go "What a piece of shit", "You are a lousy wanker", etc, all are from channels in the UK.

I'm truly curious about what it is that makes so many of you blokes over there (obviously not all) such a miserable lot.

Care to share your thoughts with the rest of us, Bubba?

[kimchiman1000]

Of the remaining 10%ish number, it seems that the majority of those are from Australia. I can't help but wonder what's going on over there to make folks so sour and generally pissed of sounding. Also when I check your channels from those countries, to see what comments you make on other channels' videos, I see the same pattern, just one comment after another of 'wot a shit' this and that.

Scrapcar, I really do want to know what you think, all the 'you piece of shit' comment aside.

[kimchiman1000]

To the rest of you lot over in the UK and Australia, who DON'T make such comments, please don't think I'm trying to paint you with the same brush. I'm sure that scrapcar1980's attitude is not representational of the majority of people in your countries.

[GEEESS1968]

stupid fuckin yanks...and who the fuck let that giggling annoying asshole on that machine???

[mugwump666]

@GEEESS1968

EXCAVATOR ACCIDENT MINIEXCAVATOR CRASH IN DICH

Look up that one, a Brit who did far worse.

TAKEUCHI MINI EXCAVATOR ACCIDENT LIVE DIGGER CRASH BAGGER UNFALL

Another Brit who can't handle even the tiniest of equipment. And funnier too, as the limey goes face down in a sewer trench, lol. You are all like Benny Hill. (Do you each pat a little bald guy on the head, then chase each other around in fast motion?)

Youtube is FULL of British construction accidents, which one is you?

[kimchiman1000]

@mugwump666

LOL!

[GEEESS1968]

i've read some of your comments and it's pretty clear to me that you are a complete and utter rookie...if you were on one of my sites and damaged roads and footpaths like you claim to do i'd fire you straight away...stupid fuckin yank...all fuckin mouth as usual!!!!

[mugwump666]

OK, genius, explain how to dig a swimming pool in a homeowner's backyard WITHOUT having to replace a section of sidewalk. Really, its no big deal if you do it all the time. YOU are the obvious rookie if you don't know that.

[GEEESS1968]

obviously im talking to a kid...sorry i didn't realise you are only about twelve...when did you start liking diggers??? was it when your mother fucked a digger driver!!!

[mugwump666]

Ha ha, you are so funny. You really give yourself away as a total plonker.

I'll put my two university degrees up against anything you have, sonny boy. 

Geees is a great name for you, every time I read one of your comments I say "Geees, what a half wit this guy is" And you childish "Mother" insults just prove your age. Who over the age of 17 acts like that? No one.

[mugwump666]

Oh, and the "big boy" name for them is excavators, not "diggers". Or maybe you just can't spell excavator. Has your spelling teacher not got up that high yet?

[brasmussen81]

@GEEESS1968 You did

[UZIMAN101]

i knew exactly how to get out of that as soon as i saw it

[muffen6365]

me too

[scottlaws39]

we all need good work mates looks kike you have a great one recardo

[xkjdhdglksh]

you cannot get a backhoe stuck. I've seen them climb into trains 10 feet high.

[escortmk112]

Climbing a 10ft solid is far from ending up in 10ft of swampy ground

[jonesd5o]

told ya fuckin told ya i have barely even ran a backhoe

[paranoidfrandroid]

very nice, i would've never thought of doing that. I would've tried putting branches on the wheels... maybe it was too muddy?

[mitchellgonzalez]

heheehehehehehehehehe very very funny!!! IDIOTS...

[Jaynic2005]

As a heavy machery operator i've seen my fair share of Rookies. As i am in some machines myself. All i Can say is good on him for having a go, trial and error my friends give him time and he'll be an A1 operator we've all got to start somewhere.

[Jaynic2005]

no hoses broken, only a bit of paint off whats a bit of concrete between friends.

[theshow2k8]

Retardo LMAO

[DevinL16]

use the back-hoe to lift the backend up and pull yourself out? might work?

[kimchiman1000]

hmmm....now there's a novel idea.

[NSrailfan1]

hahahaha thats funni dude!

[basiljordaniii]

thats nothing i drive through ditches all the time  hell why else do you think there is a front and back bucket on a backhoe

[kimchiman1000]

For putting my lunch in!

[liquidsilvergts]

I was thinking the same thing when I first saw it. In my opinion a Backhoe can NEVER be stuck..

[2007dalin]

i had my backho stuck... but i was in th middle of a swamp... 3 ft of mud and i couldnt do anything but move in circles... lol

[kimchiman1000]

There's a trick I use, but I don't know if it would work in 3 feet. It might, though.

I'm sure you know how to pick up the back end to move it sideways of of a mud hole. But you can to the same with the front end. Here's how:

Get a good bite into the ground with your back bucket, so it's really sucked down into the ground. Make sure your front bucket is at not making contact with the ground (suction), and then lift your outriggers.

Continued...

[kimchiman1000]

I wouldn't lift the outriggers more than about halfway, just in case you need them. But once you've got the outriggers well clear of the ground, pull your boom up, like you were going to dig out a bucket load, but make sure the bucket stays buried in the ground. If you do it right, you can easily lift up the front end of the machine and swing it several feet to the side. Then you can lift the back and move it. Repeat as needed until the machine is free of the hole.

continued...

[kimchiman1000]

Kind of sounds like a recipe, don't it?

:-)

[2007dalin]

hey thats a good idea!! i will try that next time...

[kimchiman1000]

Get a video of it if you do. I didn't use my camera when I did it, but I wish I had.

[crownracing]

If the operator could not get that out on his own he should not be driving it!

[sinistercid]

When i did this i had to go to the site on a sat and fix my rut with a shovel. straw and seed on my own time. Hoes are easy to get stuck and most of the time easy to get out. HEAVY HEAVY HEAVY

[gregfuckingparker]

i was gonna say just use the hoe...but... he did

[evilsnuffalupagus]

yup, thats how to do it. nice job, curb looks good, vehicle is out - and you even deployed your outriggers like a good boy... and kept em' winged out till you were clear, just in case it wanted to try and lean on you. when I opened the vid I was thinking How do you get "stuck" in a Backhoe?! use the stinger and you can yank your self out of almost any "stuck" situation in a TLB... Again - good job operator.

[Jazzzzlover]

I'd fire the geek for the stupid laugh alone.

[NanooseResident]

it was good that the rookie came and got you because then you could see his mistake and he could learn from it.

[blackelk7373]

easy to 4uk up starting out but the kid did 2 things wrong after getting that tlb in a bind. He gave up and went and got help instead of doing it himself. Then giggling like a school girl. Grow up

[gundem777]

hahaha! thats funny.

[outlawracer2229]

Any way it goes a backhoe will scratch the pavement a little but not enough to say it was damaged. As for the brain fart, we all have them. It just takes a better person to admit it. No harm, no foul. Just makes the day more bearable to have a laugh with crappy weather.

[kimchiman1000]

Your comment echoes the sentiment of the video.

Too bad more people can't see it that way, eh?

[trailblazerkid]

i got the same back hoe and crapy weather rain leafs e

[southernboy166]

nice work lol

[ChainCollector]

WOW, you guys are horrible! how do you still have a job??? next time try putting the machine in gear while u are using the hoe, and try using the extendaboom for extra leverage. Clowns

[ShaneHondaXr]

Mate hate to break it to ya but that backhoe doesn't have a extenda hoe whose the clown now???

[EXCAVATIONPRO]

the guy helping the rookie must have just started a week earlier, he's not any better!

[salsecondo]

wow that was gay and that dude that got it out way to impact the street guess he cant say much either both are tards if u ask me

[Diggerkid]

Hey Al, I make mistakes to am I retarded or only human?

Maybe some of the retards who made stupid comments should watch a few of your other videos. Seems to me looks like your a well experianced seasoned operator.

[kimchiman1000]

Thanks, bro!

[stevenb222666]

that guy was awfull rough ? haha

[darensmiles4]

you know the funniest thing about learning how to lock the boom on a case backhoe was.. I'd have to get pissed off in order to get it to lock but just trying I'd never get it at first lmao.

[TheGhostOfTomJones]

hahaha... so i'm not the only one that had a problem with that? add in that it was set up with cat controls and i was completely lost.

[808drinkability]

what the fuck was so hard about that

[SennaF1GP]

It's so hard to find good help now a days.

[hazexcavating1]

i just picked up an 04 case 580sm and have been running it at about 1700 rpm . does this seem to slow or to fast, for any one that has operated this model.

[brasmussen81]

@hazexcavating1 We always are told to run them wide open. They seem to operate smoother to me

[supjimmy22]

that's called a Backhoe.

[kingofkush13]

Stick with it.. Your boss has skills.. And if you want to keep your job try not to talk..

[chubabord]

why dont u use Wheel excavator ?

[kimchiman1000]

Wheel excavators are only catching on very slowly over here. I think that in about five years they'll probably be fairly common here in North America. But for now, they are not common.

[kingofkush13]

What? Lol...

[SennaF1GP]

What the hell are you talking about.... Wheel hoes have been in the great white north for years....

[kimchiman1000]

True, but not in anywhere near the way they are in other parts of the world. A lot of people from other quadrants of the universe see things from a different perspective. That's all I was getting at.

At least where I've lived and worked, wheel hoes are almost as scarce as hen's teeth. Maybe it's different where you are.

[brasmussen81]

@kimchiman1000 Not many in areas I have been either (ID WY MT) I would like to try one out though

[blaster696969]

do you wear your seatbelt????

[startup0]

its apparent he's never been in a track hoe before, if he was he would of thought to use the bucket in the first place.

[kimchiman1000]

Sort of. He was just out of school, and had no real job experience before this.

[Bellithe]

SMOoooooooothly done!

[heliarche]

Good job getting it out without damaging anything.

[DevilDogReaper]

damn that sucks

[hangemhigh2000]

I got got got got a good brain. You Mah mah mah mah make me Happy.

[kimchiman1000]

That's g g g g g good!

[oNGlue]

lol boss pop that curd you pay 2000.00 lol.

we all learn some weres

[kimchiman1000]

Good thing she didn't pop.

[sullyman3]

i agree with you my dad trough me on the 8 ton crane at 18 and i'm still learning and if you don't cop on you better get out before you hurt someone

[GaaraHunter101]

The way I see it you cant be perfect, you mess up now and then but its not the end of the world, I started operating about three years ago and the first thing my boss told me was, "equipment will %&$@ up whether you have been operating for a week or 40 years stuff happens, the key is to take care of the problem and move on, no hard feelings"

[hamsterman890]

hey al,  those people that said stuff about the rookie part 1 are itiots.everyone makes a mistake in running equipment

[kimchiman1000]

Yep.

[xxXThebudXxx]

best way to learn is to do tryl and aeier

[jfh1977]

I have been running equipment now for close to 3 years and even "operators" learn something new everyday. The "operators" that trained me took time to give some good advice and tricks when running something. The only way to really learn though is to get in the seat and do it.

[xxXThebudXxx]

i agere with u

[returnthesoapbox]

I don't even operate a loader and I knew that was how to get out.

Rookie use your head. I think you owe everyone a beer.

[smoovetipp]

Why'd you cut out the middle part? Brain farts happen to everyone--including me. There's value in learning from other's mistakes. I almost rolled my Bobcat 953 with a backhoe down a hill once--cuz I was grading and not paying attention to a good point of reference. Anyway, I had expected that you scratched the street because I've seen it happen lots of times and I thought I saw your bucket had a pin in it--like the Wayne-Roy buckets/couplers do. Don't put me in the "Loud mouth" cat, pleez.

[kimchiman1000]

"Why'd you cut out the middle part?"

I didn't. See the video that this one responded to.

[ThaLargeOne]

Hey Al,

Nice editting....... but i wasn`t expecting a video response to the rookie from you.

Still waiting for a video response from bigjongpls, kidofphilly, u214, Clowjuggalo, etc.

Guess those superb opperators cant opperate a camera !

One of the old gantry crane opperators who was going to enjoy his pension told me when i was the rookie : "sunny, experience is something you got, right after the moment you needed it most" meaning as much as make a mistake and learn from it, i`ll never forget !

[kimchiman1000]

That's right, Large. There's no substitute for experience, and in our line of work, it usually takes a mistake every now and then to really nail a lesson home.

As far as those 'superb' operators - well, I suppose that about the only thing they are proficient at operating are their own very loud mouths.

Their type typically end up as old, stupid men who are a disgrace to humanity; they should have wisdom to impart to the younger generation, but all they have is ignorant, arrogant foolishness.

[capsklock]

Hi Al,

I was told that you cant get a backhoe stuck. I remember before I could operate the machine, I could only run the machine. It wasnt until i actually became one with the machine that i understood what it all meant. I watched a few of your latest posts. Do you work for a company, or yourself? I find good labor is hard to find. I have a good grade man available, but I do most work myself. Im peeling the brick off a house currently, shooting vids ill post tis winter.Good to see your vids

Pete

[kimchiman1000]

Good to hear from you again, Pete.

I'm a company man so far. I've long wanted to venture out as an owner operator, but so far it hasn't happened for me.

For now, as long as I can keep paying the bills, and maybe get ahead of them somewhat, I guess that'll have to do.

PS: The 'new' eye is still working fine. I can tell it probably won't be too long before I have to get the other one done.

[mccormickchainsaw]

very nice al maybe now they will get the picture

[AGRIxBOY]

easy to exit  !!!

[spitgalore]

I suppose this "trap" was caused by wet ground. What precautions could he have taken to prevent it from happening again, if indeed he had to work there again? Thanks.

[kimchiman1000]

He should have backed in and used the rear bucket to swing the risers out, instead of driving straight into a hole on wet, leaf covered ground. It would have been a very stupid thing for an experienced operator to do, but he was just learning the ropes, so it wasn't a big deal.

It's a mistake he won't be likely to repeat.

[Gasteraner]

Yes Al you re right.

It s allways be the angle of vision. How to make or create a vid or a photo !

You have been made a vid first from you" who is now the rookie". That was funny and honest how it really was!

You have a big kind of humor to make fun from yourself-not everybody likes to do that.

Then allways those comments- people anonymusly

say something about stupid operator and stuff like that and bad words like f... i wouldn t let them make a comment on my vids !

I allready blocked those
