Let's see here, Didn't run over or into anything, not standing around chewing the fat or making excuses... (I can't because I need a loader, I can't because I don't have a dozer, I need a blade, and what is a "bucket")(Let me see here, I've operated a Komatsu D66s that had a bucket, a Cat 426 that had a front and a back bucket, an Excavator (CAT 235, JD backward control, ground hitting POS, CASE doesn't matter) that had a bucket, Skidsteers that had a bucket, an 80 Ton friction Crane that had a bucket and I've bailed water With a bucket) I'm a little confused by what "A bucket with a decent operator would be twice as fast" means. >shrudge< waaa waaa waaa my ass! the skidsteer was made to Work Hard! as is every piece of equipment, same for the poor hyd fluid that won't make it a week. Really!? (any substantiating documentation on this?) I suppose the coolant might get too hot also. Or... hey, here ya go... the grease can't take the shock when he slams into the material pile balls-out! Safety? If your on a job site where heavy equipment is operating you damn sure better stay out of the work area unless your authorized! its not a break room, Its a WORK ZONE! Pay attention! (anyone know what "balls out" means, or where the saying originated)? I'll educate ya... refers to the governor on a steam engine. Wide-open! Full throttle! Peddle to the metal... No excuses! Get the hell out of my way, I've got a job that needs doing! Would I hire him? Hell Ya Id hire him! He's my kinda guy! Only problem is, he won't be around long, that slamming up and down in the seat will destroy his back in just a few year's time. buy him a beer to numb the pain & give him another job.... my kinda guy...
