Hehe, I won’t complain about that!😅 Thanks for your enthusiasm, I really appreciate it!🙏🤗

Thank you so much for watching and for your comment!🙏😋

Thank you!🙏😊

Thank you!🙏 I do my best to work the machine as smooth as possible, it makes my day more comfortable and easier to endure!😋

Thank you so much for your kind feedback!🙏🤗 I do my best to earn the trust to be assigned to this machine, I really appreciate that recognize my efforts!🤩😊

Thank you!🙏 I do my best!😊 Best regards back from Norway 🇳🇴

Thank you very much!🙏🙂

Thank you so much!🙏😋

Thank you!🙏😋

@@norwegianearthmovers welcome

Thank you so much!🙏🤗

Thank you so much!🙏🤗 I do my best to be smooth and productive, I really appreciate recognition of my efforts!🙂

Thank you so much, Bill!🙏😋 Your comments always keep me smiling, I really appreciate your feedbacks that tells me that I have shown something professional!🤗 Jepp, I feel that Cat has done a great job too!!🤩 The machine became even steadier after rebuilding the bucket, my guess is that it got just a bit heavy when fully loaded earlier! My days has been a lot more comfortable now, even with the need for one more cycle to every truck load!😋 I guess every machine has its limits, and when the bucket weighed 8,5 tons originally - and carried 12 - 15 tons of material, that limit was close..🤪 It feels more steady now, with 8 tons of weight - carrying about 10 tons of material!!😊 Yes, the blasting crew deserves some credit for their job on this site!🙂 Of course, everyone can suffer unfortunate results sometimes, but they do have great experience! Our company started out as a blasting company back in 1974, and our founder was the first in Norway to by a drill rig!!🤩 Before that, every blast was prepared by hand held air hammers all over Norway by the old “rallar” crews..😅 My boss really turned the table in the entire construction business back then, and has really specialized in large production blasts ever since!! We are building a industrial site here, and we have some standards to work by!😋 We don’t fill with large rocks, so I have to be aware of what I load the trucks with. I have a simple system to alert the trucks, when I signal them one time - the load is for the D8 on the quality fill, if I signal them twice- the load is of large rocks that are dumped on other locations!🙂 We don’t load too large rocks, they are put to side for breaking.😋 We don’t have a crusher here yet, but we’ll bring one in during the winter, to crush gravel for roads and trenches! Thanks for watching and for your comment, once again!🙏😋 They surely means a lot to me!🤗

Thank you so much!🙏😁 Yes, I think the bucket works well, took some time to get used to it though!😅 Jepp, winter is upon us, so there is sometimes snow in the air now a days! The cab is really great, the climate system always keeps the cab warm and and the windows clean of dew!😋 It keeps me cool in the summer as well, and with a great seat with both heating and fan powered air cooling - the environment in the cab is great!!😁 The rock we load and haul, I laid out by a dozer! The project is about building a industrial site, so all of the rock is moved to fill up and even out valleys at the site!😋 There is coming a crusher later on to produce gravel for the finish work, but for now we do the heavy lifting of the materials! Yes, the balance of the machine is just great, and got even better with the new design of the bucket - that also saves the weight of it with almost 500 kilos down to 8 tons!😋 Here in Norway, Cat and Volvo are about sharing the leading role of the brands, followed by Hitachi, Komatsu and Kobelco. We do also have some spread use of Case and Liebherr, but I my opinion - Cat is best!!😊 Thanks for watching and for your comment!🙏😁

Thank you very much!🤗

Hehe, I did that in my previous video, where I started the video with a picture of me beside the bucket!😉👌

Hehe, this was my first shift on the 390 at this project I have been on since December!😅 Same blasted granite that you have seen handled the past 6 months, and the same payloads of about 50 tons hauled to the D8T dozer!😋 I was really exited back then, since I hadn’t operated the 390 since April earlier that year!🤪 This was the start of the project that we are soon to complete, so all rock was going to embankment works to build this 200 acres industrial site!😊

Hei!🙂 Nå er jeg i Porsgrunn kommune, på et industripark prosjekt!😋 Ja, hvordan er det å være maskinfører i Oppdal for tiden da? Er vel greit med snø der nå vel?

Thank you!🙏🙂 This is blasted granite!😋

Gjør så godt jeg kan i hvertfall..!🤪😅🙏

Hei! Thanks for sharing your thoughts!🙏 I do agree that this wasn’t the best angle, but I didn’t have time to run around and place my camera exactly where I wanted. I was trying out angles back then, so I just had to run out with it when there was no trucks coming. 🙃 And they were coming all the time..😅

Hi!🙋‍♂️ Yes, i would say that I hauled my share, both with road trucks and dump trucks!😋 But nothing regular, my main task had been on excavators, and with trucks, dozers and wheel loaders as reserve operation in between! Why? Is there something you reacted to?🤓

@@norwegianearthmovers I thought because you took your shoes off, truckers would do that too!🙋‍♂️👍

Hehe, most of us drive without shoes, since we sit in the cab for 4 hours before we go out to brakes og home.😉 It keeps the environment in the cab so much better, without dust and shit everywhere! We spend more time in our cabs than home, so the idea is to make the cab as comfortable as home!🤪😅 The last project I was on, was on an island where they deposit hazardous waste. Out there it was prohibited to wear the shoes when in cab, to prevent polluted dust from entering the cab, causing us injuries and so on.. So it is both a healt issue, that makes my day more comfortable and clean!😉

@@norwegianearthmovers Great. I think that's good. Man should feel good ... no matter where!😉

Hehe, you are allowed to have what ever opinion you want!😉 Well, I have been long enough in the business to remember the sound of old Cat’s, and I must agree that the sound of the old ones were something special! However, with these times insane emission standards, there are only approved new machines with all these extra environmental systems at public contracts.. The real sound of the machines disappeared with the D series, but was already then faded since the first of the 3 series and the end of the old 2’s.😄 For me, this one sounds way better than any other brand on the market today, so this is only my opinion towards what’s possible to get these days! I’ll leave your opinion to yourself, but thanks for watching anyway!🙏

@@norwegianearthmovers Maybe it's the camera because to me the engine sounds rough - like it's down a cylinder.

@@ArthurDentZaphodBeeb well, it could be the camera..😅 I was only filming with my phone.. Meanwhile, I did have a minor breakdown a week after this video was made, where one of the injectors broke.. 😝

@@norwegianearthmovers OK i Understand what your saying.
