I wish I had this guys address I would send him a grease gun and a case of grease. then after he greased my machine I would smack him and fire his ass.

a real operator would have grease the backhoe befor using it...

Its impossible to tell from just a video as to why the machine hasnt been greased and until I could find out the whole story I would have to give him a pass on that. As for his operating... He has the basics down but needs to slow down and quit trying to impress people. Fast doesnt equal good. I been in that kinda business a long time and have seen so many people with all the tools to be a good operator but they try to impress with speed.

I see I wasnt the only one who noticed that it sounded like it needs some grease. I also noticed that it says it was his first day on the job. That much noise doesnt come from just one day without grease. It hasnt been greased for a while. Which brings about some questions. Do they grease at the start or end of the shift ? Some outfits have someone that does all the fueling and greasing for the operator. Maybe the grease fittings are worn out or broken and wont take grease.

I know Equipment is expensive to people like us , BUT to some companies and GOV'Ts Equipment is EXPENDIBLE, they make 10 times the money off a job or taxpayers that we would make.

No need to lift your front wheels of the ground and also no need to use the brakes to steer in good conditions.

No need to lift your front wheels of the ground also no need to use your brakes to steer in good conditions.

[derekg31]

Why would you want to lift your front wheels of the ground. Also why did he use the brakes to steer the machine in good conditions.
