Bobcat Nose Dive

[brianstacync]

you're not very bright are you? that's not a toy and I have seen some serious injuries from stupid shit like that

[Zbrogan54]

I remember my first day running a skid. lol

[mattv1256]

last year on a job site my dad owns some one tipped the brand new one he just had bought all the way over though

[TheWillibill]

wheres your SILT FENCE ? the EPA would have a feild day writing tickets at your jobsite! did you seed and straw afterwards?

[BUKUINC]

I recently did the exact same thing on a much steeper slope! I though I was going over for sure! Also, I had about half a tank of fuel, but at that angle it moved in the tank and the engine died. I wasn't to excited about having to climb back into it after fueling all the way to try to get it unstuck. I made sure I threw some rocks under the front of the tracks so that it wouldn't tip anymore. Eventually I got out safe, with a rather large audience haha. Great vids, I'll have to use my gopro

[fishproet]

I hate tht style of control. I can never get used to it.

[triden55]

@fishproet takes time. Give it a week and you'll be pro again.

[awojtacki]

Nice job. I've been there and done that. At least the dump truck pulled you out and you didn't have to get a tow truck and pay a couple hundred dollars.

[cmlinney]

where do you dig dirt, jim? i own boxer property (linney landscaping) always looking for excavation work.. sometimes do it myself sometimes outsource..

[JimHowDigsDirt]

@cmlinney I'm in the Pictou County area of Nova Scotia. Where are you located?

[cmlinney]

@JimHowDigsDirt I am in Halifax

[skyypilot]

those things are a real pain to get in and out of if you are a big guy like me!

[Devilseyenl]

just wondering. why didnt you continue to push downwards? When you keep your bucket filled with dirt. and just continue pushing down. you wont tilt sideways, defo not with tracks ;)

Greets!

[SvitlanaNA]

You has written " I'm just glad I never had my door on."

Oh, yeah! it's good the door was keeping your body safely. :-) When I watched that moment I was thinking " I'm just glad the truck-man did not destroy the video by swearing and by cursing! :-)) " ha, ha, ha!

[chuck738]

@SvitlanaNA If the door had been on he would not have been able to exit the machine with the lift arms in that position.

[Motormanlova]

Niceeee

[Motormanlova]

Those things are fun

[MrRagingbull83]

Not your falt that weak ass Bobcat wont back out of that

[yakyakyak69]

Nice editing!

[chughes44]

.......lower your loader........drive off

[69rd96]

It's that stupid seat sensor, you slid off the seat at that angle and it locked up, PITA if you ask me. Got to try a Cat or Deere next time around.

[TheHondadirtbiker]

pretty neat :) good thing you didnt roll

[Versys16060]

Always wondered how you shot those downward angles . Wouldn't it have been easier to just tilt the camera :) ??? Good thing you had those long arms to aid in exiting the cab!

[Ticky66MN]

You sure remained calm. I sure wouldn't have. Nice job!

[AlwaysDigging16]

Haha, glad everything went ok but it made for an awesome vid this one should get some hits lol.

[heartland96a]

Glad is was a controlled situation and that you were back in business with out any damage.

[joecool248]

Awesome! Keep up da good work

[cat325ccr]

[JimHowDigsDirt]

[redheadedduckhunter]

[Bobtrucker123]
