Well if you can swing without the fine swing switched on they probably did. Sounds like they need to turn the pumps up a bit on that thing. Bet it's got the jungle gym on it though, lol. :stirthepot

Nice work there Hoeman.
I can't get over how much you guys can haul in a tri axle on the East coast. Out here, they would be in trouble with that much dirt on board. Be lucky to get 3 scoops with that size bucket.

Looks like 3 types of rock to me. I like seeing the different names for the same thing depending on where you are in this great big world.

Out here on the West coast it looks like a pile of 3/4" crushed nearest the machine, a pile of #3 in the middle, and some facing rock in the larger pile, if you go by the english measurements, as below:

""SECTION 72 SLOPE PROTECTION

(sorry the table didn't copy right, I fixed it best I could)

* The amount of material smaller than the smallest rock mass listed in the above tables
for any class of rock slope protection shall not exceed the percentage limit listed in
the above tables determined on a mass basis. Compliance with the percentage limit
shown in the above tables for all other rock masses of the individual pieces of any
class of rock slope protection shall be determined by the ratio of the number of
individual pieces larger than the specified rock mass compared to the total number of
individual pieces larger than the smallest rock mass listed in the above tables for that class""

The above is copied from CalTrans standard specs for rock slope protection (rip-rap)

HE Operator. Surprise?
Sounds like the engines dragging, would be worth checking your pressures as I'm sure it's not outputting what it should under high flow conditions.

One easy way to check if it's a pump issue is to do a cycle time check. Stick all the way in, bucket all the way in and knuckle touching the ground. Boom hard up until it bottoms out, I think it should be at 6 seconds although you may want to double check that number I'm a bit rusty on small gear.
