Hey Chris, great video, I operate an excavator myself since '06, you are smooth, yet I have to question your standard safety issue of leaving your bucket head-height off the ground while exiting your machine...if on a job site...I'd skid you for doing that...I know that you are working alone, yet with your skill set, I would expect grounding the bucket to be an automatic safety procedure.
@oleran45692 жыл бұрын
But... Chris IS working alone. In watching Chris work, I've come to believe that, to him, motion = time +fuel. All of his motions seem to be planned and performed to optimize the time/fuel calculation. The machine's motion was stopped exactly where needed for the next move. His phone stayed exactly where he needed it. He exited and entered the cab in the most efficient manner. Chris's economy of motion seems a result of years of practiced planning that pays of for his business in productivity, allows him to concentrate on results over annoyance, keeps his customers happy and likely cuts way down on his aggravation level.
