  • im 16, ive been driving diggers in NZ for atleast 10 years. its not that hard but it takes a few years to get good, such as smooth movements, judging distances and not killing yourself - obviously haha.

  • @happytobehim That's all well and good, but 27 years+ ago you didn't need to have licences and safety certs JUST to get into the industry. Anyone wanting to even contemplate becoming a NEW operator now, HAS to go through all the shit to be considered. It's catch 22. The companies hiring want operators with experience.To get experience you need to get a job. To get a job(nowadays) you have to have the appropriate licences. But just having the licence doesn't mean you're experienced. Can't win!

  • @ArtWithRob A 13 week course will run you approximately $24,000

    Alot of that is fuel cost. It is an expensive training program, but the cost

    will help you take it seriously.

  • does anyone that has been through NAHETS know about how much it cost? I'm thinking about going....I saw a vid that said it cost one guy 30 grand, does it really cost that much?....If so I think I'll pass.

  • I just seen another vid with a 4yr.old operating it,with a little practice,how hard can it be??? of course i'm talking about basic operations,anyone knows that experience is the best teacher.

  • I,ve been an operator for 27 + years run many different machines and have never had a license I think that these heavy equipment schools are a crock of shit they these kids thinking they can be an operator in a few short weeks and 10 grand later and they aren't qualfied to do shit

  • I think they were referring to excavators for domestic and commercial construction... not mining... but yeah.

    Man i really wish America would start using metric. Imperial is so annoying.

  • If it was that mere, you wouldn't have used an explicative.

  • wasnt a competition.the guy in the vid said they weigh upto 244.i was merely saying it wasnt true.

  • Not everything has to be a fucking competition. Lighten up.
