if I was an operator, I would preffer to load the trucks at the botton of the pond so you could see into the box (fill the bed evenly) and also make faster passes - because in this vid the operator has to go from the bottom of the pond to almost full hight to dump the load. where as in the bottom you would just have to go 1/2 way to dump the load and barly swing.

The way the site was set up we couldn't do it that way. Also we were fighting rain the entire time we were digging. We had to run pumps to keep the water out so we could keep level. The trucks would have sank and been stuck if we put them on the bottom. We couldn't even get an lgp dozer on the bottom without sinking it. We pretty much tried everything we could to make the process as efficient as possible.

I didnt mean this site, I was just talking about how I would like to load trucks. yay and the soil looks so wet. But this vid is still one of my alltime favorites! because it appears to be in the moring and the sun on the machine is awsome! plus the 330 is my favorite excavator! one question, could you fill another like it?

[cotucker]

I believe I have another one in my video's. We also used the same machine to burn trees and I took a vid of that.

sorry i ment work over in the states.ive plenty of work over here driving.been talking to a few guys who have went to australia.the work over is startn to dry up as the housing market has stop selling.people being laid off everyday.

[cotucker]

Well it seems that the states is kinda drying up aswell. Its an election year so the people with money are hanging on to it, but once the dust settles and a new president is elected things will pick up soon after that. Working in the states is not all it is cracked up to be, but I guess if you are in need of a change its an option. Is there a high demand for golf courses and golf course superintendents over there.

question the 330 is about 35tons right??? cus we have a 330d in our quarry and i rember asking my boss how heavy she was and he said 38tons mabey 40tons.. cant be right cant it??. ive only ever used the 330 at work about 5 times in two and a half years such a nice digger to use..im stuck on a 13 year old Daewoo280solar for my sin,s.

One things for sure the material is sticking together real nice, Providing overfilled buckets for the operator to load into the trucks quickly. If this stuff was dry and powdery... it would have taken much longer.

i actually get mud thrown up on the counter balance from the tracks when i am traveling thru the slush. You can tell who the newBs are who have never run any heavy machinery before. and of course machines are ment to get dirty. but i bet alot of whiners on here have no idea how or what a pickup truck is used for either.Keep the bed noce and pretty and scratch free. set tools in gentle and don't drag them out of the bed. NewBs who dont know shit.mud dont splash when they drive thru it .LMFAO
