How to Operate an Excavator (2019): Pre-Op to Shut Down | Heavy Equipment Training

You Don't know how much this really helps people who are willing to learn about excavators, and want to become a good operater and look good for their boss. I got my job watching these videos and said I had experience which I didn't only knew what to do from these videos. Thank you for your time and experience teaching people about heavy equipment operating your skills are very helpful.. and I have bought some of the boots that you recommended..

I kno the vid is a couple years old, what a refresher, I loaded coal trucks at the mines. Then went on to be a swamper down in the ditch laying gas line. You got to trust the operator for sure. I find the bigger equipment easer to operate. Good Explanation of all things important.

I've never ran an excavator. Lots of farm tractors and things like that. You're an excellent teacher and speaker. I learned a lot. Obtw... I'm retired and 65 years old. I love your videos.

You are a great instructor! Thank you for sharing your passion to teach about the operation of heavy machinery. I am about to retire from being a Police officer for 20+ years and want to be a heavy equipment operator. You give good clear instructions, thank you.

I knew nothing about excavator but after watching your videos am able to maintain and work with them with ease. I love your clarity in explaining.

Bro you are the man... doing gods work for us poor people out here trying to climb the social ladder

Really appreciate this. I'm currently in a mining course and I really underrated how much coordination it takes to run these machines. I'm binging so many of your videos right now and they're such a great help, thanks a bunch for putting these up!

I'm now in a mining school of heavy equipment machines and I find this video very helpful. You are great.

Been running equip for 20+ years. Finally got my shot on a Hoeram and now all the foreman positions are open to me. Don’t give up and keep pushing dirt.

Thank you. You are doing a wonderful job for communities

I just bought a secondhand 7.5t excavator for use around my property and I have absolutely 0 and I do mean 0 knowledge on how to operate one. I have so much work to do around here it is difficult to know where to start but I've got no skill level at all. Thank heavens for YouTube LOL. I'm here so I don't get myself into trouble. Very quickly I'm realizing some of the tasks I need to do around here are going to have to wait until my skill level gets beyond say 100 hours. I'm in a forest so raking sticks and twigs into piles will be the first task. This will definitely get my skills up. After that the road needs culverts in some parts, the dam needs repairing - its outflow deepening, a site needs clearing and leveling for a concrete slab, holes need to be augered, areas graded, fencing repaired and they're the easy things. The list is long. Sticks and twigs first.

Will be going for heavy equipment training soon,your videos are very helpful and informative,thank you!

Its really good practical lessons,good demonstration. i have done the training but it was not enough.so im following this video to be more knowlageable

So awesome that you guys put out such high quality videos online for free. I'm in formal equipment training right now and these are so helpful for a new operator
