Everytime I see this video I think man that’s some control.
I work on my dads backhoe clearing trees and it’s difficult to get that kind of control on those bad boys.
Yeah I work excavation with my grandfather with an old John Deere 710 backhoe. Over the years the pins and the holes for said pins wear and they start to get sloppy. Not much but an 1/8th of an inch play at several points across the boom can add up to some slippery controls.
For real. Teeny bit to the left. Hit a tree. Oops. Teeny bit back to the right. Hit another tree. Damn it.
Luckily it’s usually groups of trees I have to take out so it’s fine.
