I just upgraded my laser and got similar attachment. Your video showed better steps than the manufacturer (HV302) . I am a framer, so I tend to use level/plumb more than slopes. However, that is about to change. I learn by doing, and like watching experienced operators to expedite my learning curve. Thanks!

That's the easiest way to cut a swale when you dont have a tilt bucket, using your outriggers, works everytime! Great video Feank!

I tried the slope feature for the first time today. Worked great!! Thanks for the how to.

It is amazing what a rubber tire backhoe can do if it has the right man operating it. Such a versatile machine. Nice work Mr. Digginok

Thanks for the video! Practical and simple idea. Great job!

Great simple informative video Frank. Thank you

That’s lots more high tech than the old NI2 Zeiss optical level I used shooting grade for the highway dept. ! No field books and calculators needed, I like that. The old Zeiss levels are wonderful cutting edge German technology back in the 1950s, I still have one today I bought after I retired

I see these lazers and think about my dad when he was running a d6 cat in front of a land plane back in the sixtys ! Wonder what he would think of the way they do it now ! Thanks for sharing and take care. 👍

Thank you you done a great job and I learned a lot it saves time money and you get through with a job and it's done right and it is a great piece of equipment the Spectra theCR600

That’s what i need to get Frank!! Good Video👍

Hello very helpful video, you let us see the real life with a laser and receiver. Thank you very much. I just purchased a receiver from Leica, it’s said to be able to receive any rotative laser, I will check that. My laser is not rotating, it’s a Chinese green plane laser, but it has blinking function

I have got the exact same machine laser receiver! It is brilliant.. You have two settings for the brightness on the lights, bright, and fucking silly!! You can see it easily enen in bright sun. You CAN set it to work like any laser receiver, and it works VERY well at this, but, when you use the machine setting the receiver sets itself up as follows: The top red light means you are too high, the bottom red light means you are too low, with green being on grade. The clever bit is, there will be no lights on if you are miles too high. When you get within about 6 inches of grade the top red light will start to flash. When you are about 2 inches from grade, it will come on with a steady light [so you know you are very close] and then when you are within between about 3/32 to 3/8 of grade, [depending on how you set the sensitivity control] the green light will come on. I love mine! It was about £335 here in the uk, be the same in dollars over there i suppose. A spectra cr600 i think it is called. REALLY good bit of kit.. My laser will do slopes in two planes, AND, you can lay it on its side and set out right angles too.. It has a range of about 330 yards so you could be anywhere in a near 700 yard diameter circle and still use it.. It is a Leica 640 and it came with a remote control so you can easily set grades with it. Was about £1050 of our uk pounds as i remember, so again, about the same in dollars in the US i would think..

Just curious what is that right of the satellite dish back in the woods. Something lighter colored. Another success story. Thanks for the videos.

Thanks for this :)

Well you shamed me in to buying a new laser. I got the top con rl or rh -5 I think. Get here tomorrow so it will only be a couple days til I am digging the wrong slope. Can't wait

I had to do something like that one time. I had to fix a detention basin and they called for a 1% slope in the bottom and set a laser up like you did. Rented a 329f long reach hoe and worked it all from the banks. Wish i had the magnetic receiver like you have though. I had a grade guy but it was pretty soft in there and he had a hard time getting around sometimes. some pics on my instagram i believe

Good video. Could I tack weld a square tube on the excavator and then attach my laser to it and make it work?? Hate to spend money on the magnetic one.

pea stone to me. liked the video

Very nice top con laser Laviliar mere pas hai

And learned something new use your outriggers to tilt your bucket
