  • You must love this when your on the big pile like 80 feet up. Scary as hell in day, prob crap my self just looking at it in early morning...

  • @Cranedude21 It was much more exciting when I was dozing mud off the side and the weight of the D10N caused part of it to collapse. Went steep enough that it wouldn't back up the pile (tracks just slipped). I was going to just put my foot up on the dash and 3rd gear it to the bottom but I had been dozing almost liquid mud off the side for 2 days so I would have sunk up to the cab when I hit the bottom.

    Luckily we had a spare D10 and a cable =D

  • Vantagetes, you worked on this excavator with the partner? It in the afternoon, you at night and on the contrary?

  • @KHVEDOR No just one operator. In the winter the day light is short so we start (7am) in the dark and finish (6pm) in the dark.

  • what time do you got to go to work dude?

  • @walston410 Usually on site for 630am, start work at 7am. This was taken in the fall so the first 30-40 minutes of work are in the dark before the sun comes up.

see all
