    Thanks for this man now I can tell my boss I’m experienced even though I’ve never ever

    Sir you gave the exact same class I took in AIT for a week during Army TRADOC in 20 minutes. Your video was extremely informative, thank you for the refresher.
  • Just signed up for Heavy Equipment Operator. Feeling a little more confident after watching this video. Look forward to learning as much as I can beforehand...thank you for the quick tips

    On the bucket control joystick the button at your thumb is a clutch in essence ( allows you to rev the motor while still in gear speeds up hydraulic movements with out gaining ground speed). On front of joystick middle finger area is push button 4x4 while holding down ( nice for pushing into pile then letting go and abilities to turn better and not tear up ground also). Side note I enjoy all your videos I have been an operator 10+ yard now I like to watch you for a different perspective and possibly learn new tips and tricks. Keep the mind open I guess is my perspective I am taking...

    Thank you for teaching how to operate the machine. I'll soon rent and operate it for the 1st time to build my own home here.
  • Enjoyed this tutorial so much. Thank you for making it so easy to understand. Love that you didn't just ramble on and on as many do in these types of videos. Straight to the point, clear, precise and the visuals made it all better. THANK YOU!!!
  • @pablomills1901

  • Great job. Just got me a 1025R and after fooling around with it yesterday figured I need to get some training! Thanks.

    Thank you for the amazing video on teaching us how to operate this machinery

    Tip for setting up to dig. Before setting the front bucket down first, keep it elevated, drop outriggers first, level out, THEN drop your front bucket. Less stress on the outriggers, they will lift the machine easier. Also, make sure you've taken the front bucket off of float.
  • @robsnizzle7
    Thanks for the tutorial. A really good way for equipment familiarization. Starting school on these an skip steers, helps me get acquainted with the equipment internal operation before hand. Yes, itll be repetitive but I'd prefer repetition to help with getting it quicker. Also watched your Excavator video too... (that'll be level II certification where I'm at). But again knowing these machines in every aspect help before operating em...

    Very elegant control panel, the design is eye lashing, both in and out. Productivity must be amazing.
  • @michaelramsey82
    I'll probably never have occasion to drive one of these, but as an enthusiast of vehicles of all kinds, stuff like this is endlessly fascinating.

    It's been some time since I've been on a backhoe. I recall there being a 'detent' position for the loader control. I recall after dumping the dirt out (pushing lever to the right), curl the bucket (pushing lever inwards), push quickly inwards and it goes into a 'detent' lock where the bucket automatically positions itself to be perfectly flat when you lower it to the ground. I think it takes the 'guess' work out of what is flat or not. Also, I recall pulling down dirt with the front bucket at a stockpile before scooping it. 'Aerating' the dirt or rather breaking it up before scooping makes an easier and fuller scoop.

    I have a 2001 JCB 214S, which I absolutely love. It is 4wd with 4 wheel steering, and all four tires are the same size. It's like a loader with a back hoe attachment. Oh yah, no computers, just old school hydraulics and relays. Cheers from Canada, thanks for the vid.
  • @adamfinley629
    That was a great video. I am very new to this and buying my own to start doing work on the farm. Great job guys keep it up.
  • I'm late to the game but I'm finally in. Your video is well done and to me, your attention to safety makes me want to learn more. Thanks, bro!
  • @Nuxalkman
    Place I work at just got one but abit older of a model, I look forward to the opportunity to train on it and learn how to operate it safely and effectively.
