Machines | Cat 973C Backfilling Waterline
videos | at work | information | view | construction
FINALLY! Another track loader video because the people requested it. Anyways what we have is Alex in the 73 backfilling a shallow single water ditch. First off pushing the spill pile over the ditch and then leveling it out and cutting the ground around it so the packer will pack the entire ditch evenly instead of just the outsides leaving the center untouched.

hmmm never been in a 73' ran a 63' for a few years doing the same type of work. i am assuming the controls are similar

Machine looks in very good condition. I just bought a 2001 973c for myself. Powerhouse thats for sure.

chasing dirt you guys must not do the road core we got lotsa dirt left everywhere never chasing id imaqgine no road core as i havnt seen any vids with any1 capable of final grade

I push in on an angle to manage my material, which yes on shallow single ditch water like this is extreme overkill. Most hoe ops won't swing 90 degrees to drop dirt so they leave dirt ahead of where it came from. On larger ditches (triple ditch) you find this a lot. Most guys will push in straight or even backwards with dirt and short themselves at one end and end up chasing crumbs for hours trying to fill a hole. If you put the dirt back where it came from, your dirt is always where you need it

notice dozer pushes straight in 1day when you figure it out and actually care about what stuff looks like youll see the lil details like pushing straight in as opposed to angle makes all the diffrence not that youd care as you been running these things for years and still cant grasp how to run the bucket yet back to the skidsteer 4u wach the bucket this time
-
been on that thing for years hey still havent got a clue how to actually run that thing hey like really were u track packing try keepn the bucket down run it like skidsteer ... like the boom isnt guna be here forever might actually have to learn how to run that thing soon want some lessons ??

-
Is that a large "Wacker Plate" you guys are using to get compaction in the lower section?
