It is really important that you dont panic keep your cool and always pay very close attention all of your surroundings and never over rev your rig and most important dont break anything and get on the mechanics bad side
cool vid thanx for sharin. i noticed you were driving with both hands on the steering wheel, you could haul a million loads and never have to can her out, but the one time you have to it usually comes down to split seconds, and your reaction time could save a life, hauling dirt usually goes better when listening to statc x, slipknot, mudvayne, sevendust a few of my favs. lower the seat a little put on some shades helps in the stylin and profilin, and have some fun.
Looks like you could do with a grader on that job, might make the run to and from the fill a bit easier. Used to see guys wearing moto x style kidney belts and you can see why. The scoop is a demanding machine but rewarding once you become in control of it!!!
burnout take all of this in that allan, mass-x and these other guys has put on here i agree scrapers are the most fun machine on the job and you can have some fun on them but respect them they will kill you when you first start out on them the only thing i'll say is keep your bowl close to the ground not so low you drag you'll figure out how far off the ground is good and keep your hand on the brake(aka bowl lever) it's your best friend in a bad situation and alway learn something new everyday i've read alot of mass-x post on here i read where 1 hand said he would'nt work for him i would in a minute he's old school dirt moving and there is no replacement for experience and know how just rember you have to learn it yourself
Burnout, any work for a farm boy from Sask. that has lots of experience running farm equipment? Also, was wondering if there would be any work for a Quadtrac with a direct mount K-Tec scraper now or this summer? (have to do the farm thing in the spring and fall). Have experience running our Quad with a CAT 80 scraper mostly ditching for ourselves and some other farmers.
