Totally awesome. I'm sure the city road repair crew loves this guy lol

This is simultaneously the most ingenious and most idiotic thing I've ever seen.

1:10 Anyone else think around now, that he was going to extend the arm straight out, and thereby tip and balance it on that blade? Awesome skills there.

Wow, this video looked doomed for trouble based on what I thought, but it goes to show you can learn something new everyday.

This is the visual embodiment of using the wrong process on a math problem but still somehow getting the right answer

I couldn't resist clicking on this to see how he was going to do it.

All I was thinking about was the road being scraped up.

The best motivational video for dealing with adversity that I've seen in a long time...

Somewhere there is an OSHA guy having convulsions watching this.

That’s basically how I get out of bed

Pure skill👌🏿. Being on a job site with a guy like this makes things easier all day

I do this everyday except my track base is long enough I don’t use my blade to land, and I also place a 2x6 underneath my bucket so I don’t scratch the road. No need for someone to move the truck, I do it all from the excavator cab

This is the most Eastern European thing I've ever seen happen in Western Europe.

I wanna see him climb back up into the truck now.

Bravo. Even better will be watching how he gets his digger back on the truck!

This is the difference between learning and education. That man may not be educated but he's smart as hell

can't believe the old man didn't wait to witness the whole thing.

I have a feeling this isn't the first time they have done this

Saw such a thing in the real life. But without slipping and truck was moved by excavator. Awesome!

That's a "Pro" at Work !!! 👍 And taught at all good Heavy Equipment schools !!

Now get it back up we are at the wrong job site

“Impressive, most impressive “

Bravo ! Je pense qu en mettant des rampes ça irait un peu plus vite !

Love to watch a skilled operator

That was both beautiful and terrifying at the same time!

He swung his arm into the house shortly after the video ended

Amazing but on screen it looks like the tarmac got damaged. If it did they could have easily prevented that.

Well, that was surprisingly interesting.

"We don't actually have a ramp to get the excavator out of the truck..." Operator: "Hold my beer..."

Now a video of him loading it back into that same truck would be even more impressive

I own one of these machines and although I’m impressed with his skill I would not be impressed to see my Kubota unloaded that way. The load on the bucket and particularly the curling ram would be pretty extreme. Beyond that you need someone else to drive the truck away. So my score is three for skill and -3 for common sense!

How to prematurely wear out load points on an excavator in 5 easy steps. Perfect example of "Just because you can, doesn't mean you should".

That’s like me getting out of bed in the morning!!!

I always wonder how the roads get damaged. Now I know. You learn something new every day.

The best part is the driver of the truck walking right behind him

Would this method cause undue stress to the excavator boom links, and the bulldozer blade links? Not to mention also the high chance of the blade cutting edge slipping, since at one point of the maneuver, it's the main contact point to the road preventing slippage and tipping

The anxiety from doing this one time would push me to just buy a trailer.

Me: having a slight panic attack watching it on my phone. Meanwhile: *guy casually walks right by backhoe*

Bravo operating! Not only do they have the excavator but they have the dump truck too!

This would be better on soft ground so nothing gets damaged. It is a masterful display of excavator control non the less.

This is what a real college degree looks like.Impressive

Creative humans

Escavators are the most amazing things. I almost always click when i see a recommended excavator video

Schön,wenn man seine Maschine so beherrscht 👍

Never hire a company that doesn't have the right tools for the job.

OK, now repair the road!

Dude has skills and a great piece of equipment. 'Trailers. We don't need no stinkin' trailers.'

That was brilliant. But in the U.S., OSHA would have an absolute fit.

I feel like I'm watching my ex-wife try to get off the couch!

As A Heavy Haul Transport Driver. I was intrigued at this. I side Load Excavators all day. This was the same Process. But, when I saw it I thought, the bed is to high for that mini excavator... didn't even think about moving the truck! Because I'm always alone when unloading/loading. Good job Gentlemen.

I'm guessing...and I know nothing about earth-moving machines - but a ramp would have gotten this guy out a lot sooner so he could start working?

Well done KZfaq recommended.. i liked this one

I believe this is what is known as "next-level maneuver". Nicely done, though personally I'd much rather get the ramp and not take the risk of breaking the excavator (or the truck, or the road, or the driver...)

That guy sure knows how to use his excavator. Mind blowing.

Quite the display of ingenuity and skill

No Excavators were harmed in the making of this video . Not sure how many are on the scrap heap until he perfected that.

I've loaded and unloaded mini ex's like that but only about half that height.

The title should be : " Why rent a proper trailer for 500€ when local citizen taxes will repay the 500€ holes you make in the road"

If it works, its brilliant. If it fails, its idiotic. What an enigma to be both at the same time.

I have been in cliffside positions like this a number of times using an excavator, and would have done it differently as to reduce the amount of damage on the asphalt by not dragging my bucket on it like that, and i believe it would have been possible to do it without a driver having to pull away like that by raising the blade, and pulling away the moment the tracks touch the ground, while articuluating and lowerering the other end out from the dump truck and safely flat on the ground. Getting down is the easier part. Getting back in there without a driver helping out would be more a bit more difficult to perfect, but still possible. With a little more practice, I am sure this operator could have done it all on their own.

Never seen anything like that. Absolutely astonishing.

Like a Boss!

For those thinking this might be hard on the machine, the stress on the machine is actually very low when doing this, because it’s only supporting the machine weight, and that’s balanced. There are not even any shock load, the forces are all nice smooth and straight. (no twisting) This may look dramatic, but when an excavator bucket is digging into stone or hard ground (called tear out) the normal tear out forces will be at least 3 times more than ever occur doing this and the biggest risk is actually the digger or the truck driver making a mistake with the controls. This task is not for a novice, but its quite easy for any normal operator who is unlikely to get this wrong. Compared to some digging applications, eg working on slopes its actually relatively easy for any experienced operator to do this. In respect of the machine. If a machine is ever being overloaded a relief will open and the machine either wont lift or will slowly lower until the pressure reduces. For example if something heavy the machine can barely lift is picked up close in and then the boom and dipper are extended out the machine protects itself (all brands) This is because all hyd circuits on any machine brand have a locked line relief valve designed in (called an Auxiliary relief valve or ARV) in each circuit to protect the rubber hoses from force multiplication (burst pressure) if the machine was anywhere near to being stressed the ARV ( safety valve )

Wooow smart guy ! ingenious thinking when you don’t have a ramp to download the excavator !

This demonstrates skill, planning and creativity. I have never seen anyone do this before.

From my experience in youtube, I thought this was the normal way.

"Oops wrong place jerry, put it back"

Great stuff. Would be nice to see it going back on the truck .

1:10 Well I certainly didn't see that coming!

The guy who walks behind the bobcat not thinking twice about whatz going on

As soon as I saw the German written in the background, I knew this wasn’t gonna be a disaster. He was actually going to pull it off.

As someone who worked with hydraulic machinery in warehouses for about 40 years, the man does have skills but I’m not sure if this is the standard procedure for transporting this particular piece of equipment.

That’s the most satisfying video I’ve watched in the past 5 minutes :)

That looks like a San Antonio Special, if I've ever seen one. Good job, operator.

Ein Meister seines Fachs...ich liebe Baumaschinen, und wenn sie auch noch perfekt bedient werden, dann ist das ein Gesamtkunstwerk😁

Achievement Unlocked: Damage Truck Bed.

Safety first! As the guy walks haphazardly right by it while it's half hanging off a truck putting a few holes in the ground. 👌

Could’ve at least put a piece of wood down. Now there’s a giant gouge in the road...

When results matter, hire the professional! Respect!

I have a excavator similar to this I'm done the same thing and people watched me in amazement thinking I was going to drop it out of the back of the truck good job my friend. It takes some guts but it's not that difficult if you've done it before and you know how to operate the machine. Again good job

If I didn’t believe it, I would never have seen it

How many times did they try that before perfecting the technique, very ingenious.

Pretty simple!! Been loading a Case 580C in an out of my Dump truck since 1978

Wonderful. Works a treat…..until the day when it doesn’t, and someone gets hurt.

Actually quite common in construction work and machinery.

Getting the job done with toxic mascalinuity

Отета коллега...... Наш человек...!!!

wouldn't catch me that close to an excavator pulling a "hold my beer" manoeuvre like this lol 1:27

👏 bravo, I liked that the older man 👴 in the background never doubted 😉 you. Original.

Just counting the number of things that can fail. The guy would probably survive unless it flipped.

Nicely executed , dangerous as hell , but nicely executed .

Get right out of town!! That was amazing..

damaged the tarmac

Method without lorry driver present: 1. Put the bucket on the ground, track the machine almost off the lorry and lower the dozer blade onto the ground as above. Slew the machine 180 deg and put the bucket down on the load bed, with the arm at a few feet less than full reach. 2. Raise the blade until the tracks touch the ground. Track the machine away from the lorry, extending the arm so as not to gouge the lorry bed, or snag the bucket. Leave the blade close to the ground, in case some other thing happens. 3. Raise the arm, so the machine levels itself onto the ground. When the tracks are on the ground, slew the machine round again.

No hill for mountain climbers. Great job.

Think a low level trailer with ramps would be much safer,🤣🤣🤣

Who knew these guys knew geometry and physics. Well done!

I used to work for well drilling company. We had an equipment operator that have been working for that company for 25 years. He literally walked off the farm got that job is an equipment operator and it was the only job he ever had. And he used to get the excavator on and off the truck or on and off the trailer by doing just exactly that.

Ez az ember érzi a gépét.Köszönöm

That prolly took him about four times as long as it would have to use ramps but still, very impressive.
