Hitachi 225 cab view - Digging foundations
another video of me talking crap and digging
brief view of what I've been up to recently. digging foundations for this new build. mostly pad foundations with strip founds around the perimeter. using Topcon machine control as always. it really is a game changer in these types of jobs. I can be left alone to dig away.
again operation the Hitachi 225-6.

no music, no voice over. just the sweet sound of the 65!! spreading clay to make up ground levels for new build project. just so we are clear I am NOT a dozer op. I can do enough to get by. seat time is not easy to come by. so when I do get seat time I try and make the most of it. #construction #komatsu #dozer #level #clay #heavyequipment #gopro #civilengineering #operator #video

at this point the drainage line turns so we need to install a manhole or easy base which is what we mostly use now. these are pre fabricated manholes so no shutters or concrete needed. #topcon aiding me with my dig depth so cuts out men in trench to a minimum. machine - hitachi 225-6 topcon machine control #construction #excavator #hitachi #hitachiconstruction #drainage #digger #heavyequipment ...

Here's a short video of me forming a bund along a temporary access road for a new development. The main purpose of the bund is mainly to prevent people accessing the land in vehicles where there would be no fencing. #hitachi #civilengineering #construction #digger #excavator #grading #landscape #landscaping #cabview #irishdiggerman #heavyequipment #engineering #heavymachinery

Good work man
Thanks for watching 👍
Controls are backwards. Left,right slew updown dibber. Right controller up down main arm left rght open and close bucket. So this machine is iso?
Yes left joystick is left/right slew up/down dipper. That's the controls for every machine I have operated.
Mines different.. lovely digging buddy. @irishdiggerman5691
Good
Thanks
whats the the display device tell on the right hand side?
It tells me pretty much everything pal. My position on the site. It has the foundation drawing on screen to tell me where to dig. It gives me a height from tip of bucket to dig level. Only thing I need is a dumper to take spoil material away 👌
오 운전잘하네요.!
The trench looks like a right bastard - if he set the machine up so it was level that would help - you wouldnt see a good machine driver posting utube videos 👍
Machine is perfectly level pal. You referring to me?? Anyway thanks for watching 👍

Why not just keep the grading bucket on instead of switching?
Because it's more efficient digging with digging bucket. Bigger and digs through ground quicker. Grading bucket should only be used for grading or scraping in my opinion. Orif it's a shallow dig like couple of feet
Foundations for a building that will house more freeloading migrants

A 225 is 25 ton not 22 ton agree or disagree?
Yes 25 tonne. In fact heavier still when bucket is on and what ever other extras may be fitted

@@irishdiggerman5691 I have Chkd and can’t find one! I truly appreciate your camera placement! As a child my favorite toys were Tonka toys, and the excavator was my best one!
Thanks for watching. 👍👍
Awesome guys ❤ Good luck with your work
Thanks 👍
Im jack from brazil living in ireland galway. Whats the crak? Ill have my cscs 360 excavator ticket test in 5 days. I only have 6 months expirience. Ive never seen that GPS thing. It seems so handy. Good videos. How is the weather over there?
Excelente trabalho 👍
Thanks 👍
Is that in Northern Ireland
Yes sir 👍
How do you get in to this kind of job? What are the qualifications needed?
In my case, I started pretty much straight out of school pal. My uncle had a construction company, so I left school and went straight into work. Started as a labourer, jumping on mini diggers every chance I could get, and it somehow progressed into where I'm at now. And yes, you need to do training and do a test to get your machine license.

am trying yo figure out what the top LCD is displaying..!!!
It's displaying the foundations pal
Hi I’ve used topcon intelligent control on pc210 and pc290 I’m on a pc365 now digging a river bed and it has the same screen as you and I’m strugggling to get it to make the audible alarm when down to grade is there any chance you’d be able to explain this possibly cheers
On my screen on the right hand side there is simply a little circle with a speaker symbol inside. I can tap that to mute and unmute.
56:15 if you look closely as I zoom into screen you'll see the little touch screen button I mean. There is a cluster of 4 small circles. My alarm button is top right. Let me know if you have that. If not I'm sure there will be a way to add it. 👍
Just found your channel. How would I dig to a proper grade if i didn't have electronics. I know what my grade is but how do you dig it gradually from beginning to the end please? I'm just a hobby digger operator digging for me and mates. Cheers.
Thanks for your message, mate. So you are looking for advice on how to dig a nice flat grade with 1 pass? Is that what you mean? If so there is no 1 way pal. It's simply a matter of practice and repetition. Getting a feel for the hydraulics on the machine. And simply having a good eye. What I do is get an area 1 bucket width nice and level to your desired grade. Even it takes a few passes. The. As you move across your area keep some of the bucket empty and use your eye to glide your bucket over the graded area while the rest of your bucket digs and grades another section. czcams.com/video/HQqnRTDaGcM/video.htmlsi=26LVfR3D-zPT-K-X This is an older video of me grading stone. Maybe this will help better
@@irishdiggerman5691 Thanks for your reply mate. Oh I just watched that video. Nah sorry i used the wrong term. I meant the fall of the ditch in which I will lay the drain pipe. How do I achieve a nice gradual fall on the bottom of the trench so it is say 600mm deep at the beginning and 800mm on the end of it so the water will run towards the end and into the soak pit. Thanks for uploading and answering. Cheers.
Aw right ok pal. Sorry, I misunderstood. No, the link I sent was simply grading stone. So me personally, if the levels were tight and I wasn't confident I couldn't dig the grade by eye, then the easiest way without electronic lasers of any kind would be a simple spirit level. The longer the better. Or a piece of timber you can set a smaller level on top of. Id simply dig a trench, then set the level inside your dig on the ground. Doesn't have to be perfect, but It will give you a fair idea of your grade. If the ground is hard, you can straddle your trench and come back in and take a little scrape out or even fill some back in again if gone too deep. If the ground is wet/ soft, then check regularly and dig in 1 hit. If it's only drainage pipe, a slow fall is plenty. Even if it's level, water will find its way.
@@irishdiggerman5691 Oh mate I get it now. It makes perfect sense. Yep, OK I will try next time. Thanks for replying.
@beotaxi no worries mate. Thanks for watching.
Always top precision work from the Irish digger man 👌👌👌👌
Thanks mate. Hope all is well 👍

Nice work my friend , I do large excavation and deep foundation work here on Ontario Canada with Hitachi 450 with/topcon lazzer . , when you run the machine with your boots off you take pride in your work/machine ,I too do the same , Cheers from Ontario .
Appreciate it pal. I do try. And tbh I just find it more comfortable. Never operated anything bigger than 35 tonne. Would love a go in a 450 or bigger 😎

@@irishdiggerman5691 Great job bud, it's almost as enjoyable watching excavators work as it is operating them, I use to operate excavators 20 years ago, and also with my boots off, although one job I was working on a water treatment plant at Lough Neagh and had an argument with the health and safety officer because I wasn't wearing my boots, then I pointed out to him that I will have to stop using the machine for crane work as there was a sticker in the cab saying not to use as a crane, he didn't like that and came back half an hour later with the boss and removed the sticker, lol.
Nice job driver.
Thanks lad 👍
I dream of a Hitachi on wheels. But it's just a dream. 😂😂😂
I'm with you on that 1 mate 😉👍
Your a dream to watch lad how long have you been swinging diggers?
Haha thanks mate. 20 years now. Jesus that makes me feel old 🤣

Where do you go and do the digger test in Northern Ireland something I have been looking to do
There loads of places all over the north lad. Not the cheapest thing yo do, though. Especially if you're a beginner. Would be a 3 or 4 day course i think

Thank you mate. Appreciate it. Thanks for watching 👍
Your a good man on a digger, fairplay to ya. Enjoyed that video. Struggling to hear what Your saying sometimes. But i m half deaf.👍🇮🇪
Apprecaite it pal. Tbh I struggle to hear what I'm saying some times also and I'm saying it. Either need a microphone or start adding subtitles. Thanks for watching 👍
