    Most important thing I’ve learned is be careful loading and aluminum truck as it’s easy to smash the sides and while loading you can blow the opposite side of the trailer apart. Literally blow it out. Happily haven’t had it happen and the Forman watched me load one out and gave me many tips. Yeah I work for and old Italian family so the tips were being yelled at me but I definitely felt the love.

    Thanks for sharing this - I work for a municipal now and occasionally get to use our Cat 930G loader, which looks very similar to this one in size and layout, although ours is old and somewhat tired, ha! While I am not the primary operator yet by a long shot, I do try to run it once in a while on less critical jobs to get some experience. Your videos certainly have given me some tools for my skills tool box on how to get better at running the loader. Like you say, stick time is key. Stay safe!

    @Heavy Metal Learning shaking the bucket especially when loading slightly damp top soil is ideal to make sure it all goes into the dump bed. i've seen operators on track loaders do this too and they also have what is called the auto kick out or auto return to dig.

    My third day running a loader....I was working at a construction dump, my area was the shingle pile...I was doing a pull off on a very very steep hill at an angle...well trying to get the chain and tire loose from the pile I raised my bucket as high as it would go while at the same time backing up at an angle backwards down hill..do I need to tell you what happened or can you guess?.....yes I flipped the machine completely over...wheels in the air and all....that was 6 months ago....and now it feels like I've been running a loader for years now

    • @MW-cx3sb
      @MW-cx3sb Před rokem +1

      I'm a trainer/assessor, just keep at it man. You will learn the hydraulic feel and get the muscle memory on lifting and curling the bucket. Most new people forget to keep some acceleration while getting a full bucket cos once you let go on the force you can't really push the material in as you curl. But your post was two weeks ago so you should be just fine now.

    I need a video on how to build a ramp . A lot of times at the job site when you’re making a dirt pile you run out of room and you need to go on top to dump dirt there .

    • @HeavyMetalLearning
      @HeavyMetalLearning  Před 3 lety +2

      I'll see if we can do something there. Usually loaders aren't really good at "building ramps" though. Key is always to start pile far enough back so you can work your way back out (not vice versa)

    • @acenday1437
      @acenday1437 Před 3 lety +1

      Heavy Metal Learning thanks for replying . I’m just talking about getting on top of a dirt pile that’s already stacked as high as it can go and once you can’t dumb dirt any higher you need to get on top of the pile and start dumping dirt from the top of that pile

    • @HeavyMetalLearning
      @HeavyMetalLearning  Před 3 lety +1

      @@acenday1437 got it. Unfortunately from my experience is very tough to get a wheel loader "on top of a dirt pile" just because you really have to have something compacted down in order for the traction. Usually dirt piles by their nature on not compacted and thus trying to get a wheeled machine up them is very difficult. Maybe another operator who has more experience might be able to comment with their suggestions....

      I believe that is a 2017 unit (definitely newer). It’s not used on a job site right now, we use it at our Extreme Sandbox site for recreational and training/demo use.
