It almost looked like you needed a 5 point harness and bucket seat for that job, you were fairly close to getting a face full of dirt if anything went wrong on that bank !. That was cool of top crane to send you those mounts, He's actually an "anti gravity engineer". One of my friends that sadly died used to say that was his job. He lived in a real expensive apartment block in England, and used to work for a company that liked the drivers to wear a smart shirt, pants and tie. All the guys that lived there and worked in offices with computers always thought he worked in a fancy research lab, they never clued in he worked in a crane cab operating it, now they are the smart people for ya L.O.L. Thanks for sharing, Take care

How much dirt did you need to fix the back side of the pond? Did you have enough dirt on the property or did you have to get dirt brought in? If so how many yards was needed. Sorry for all the questions but I'm born and raised in Las Vegas and closest thing to a pond out here is the swimming pools. I love to learn as much is possible so I have new tools in my tool box.

no you should not have to worry about that. That is always a very good sign of a good pond site when water flows to it

Great job as always Chris! To The Top Crane sent me one of those mounts as well, and it’s awesome! He is actually about 3 hours north me. No more changing mounts throughout the day. I’ve made a few videos with different camera angles on my 250 and dump truck. If you take the silicone off the back of the mount you almost can’t take it off what you put it on! My channel is just Elite Earthworks LLC if you feel like checking it out, still very new to this whole KZfaq thing! Thanks for sharing!
@ToTheTopCrane6 жыл бұрын
Elite Earthworks LLC, try throwing a paper towel between the mount and whatever you are sticking it to. I have not tried it. So, I have no idea how it will work out. So, make sure it is in a situation were you aren't going to lose your camera or damage it if if falls off.

@LUNITICWILL6 жыл бұрын
a different kind of versatile. so many things you can do with it when grading a road. so many controls for so many different things. should have said that before. A backhoe would be almost as versatile as a Excavator/Trackhoe but lacks that maneuverability of one. A skid loader is versatile in that it is a compact machine and can get into places a Loader can't.
