    one hell of an operator, just don't forget to maintain the tools that feed you. Hate hearing the dry pins on such a new machine - like nails on a chalkboard.

    Awesome technology which when combined with a skilled operator makes the task of creating grades to a specific slope easy. Again, we use the video in our Heavy Equipment Operators' course to demonstrate to students how the technology works. Cheers Rick

    The lasers make things a lot easier now, saves time on landscapre labourers with the rakes and goon spoons.

    Nice grading with the excavator! I post a video of the type I use. It has an indicator that lets you know if the arm is straight up and down or not. The in cab remote allow me to mount the reciever anywhere.

    haha thanks man! I do hardscaping... paver patios, walkways, driveways, walls, steps. Head over to my facebook page (link in description), I post photos of completed projects and that's the best place to request videos. So if you want to see something specific let me know!

    Great video! I wish that when I'm running a skidsteer, we had one of the grade control systems... Would make things so much easier rather than using the float all the time.

    I have that same laser and receiver and have used it with very good results grading with it on cat d5 but haven't had super accurate results using it on excavator or 580m. How do you make sure that your boom, stick, and bucket orrentation stay consistent with your positioning at benchmark? I tried doing that a few times but after being 1 or two inches off on a 1% sloped swell i went back to story pole.

    • @DirtNinja
      @DirtNinja  Před 10 lety

      Its all about what it looks like to you in the cab and keeping it constant. It took me a while to really master it. Keep trying it when you can, maybe on not a such precise project.

    Hi
    I'm thinking about buying a receiver like this for my mini excavator.
    Do you still use this much... is it worth it.

      I would say yes, own a Spectra and as I work alone a good share of the time it saves me a lot of climbing on and off. Really a great system for cutting a long grade in to lay culvert, rock, etc. for drainage.
