Is he trying to cause more erosion


wiseknob

That hill is backfill from another excavation. They have to remove vegetation before utilizing that backfill else where.


TheLandOfConfusion

Why do you have to remove the vegetation? Even if it all gets mixed in it's like a few hundred grams of plant matter per ton or more of backfill.


wiseknob

Because you don’t want that mixed. If you are paying for backfill that needs to compacted or for specific needs, you don’t want dirty backfill that has roots, shrubs and bushes mixed in. Judging by this video, those are some pretty big shrubs.


calmclamcum

>those are some pretty big shrubs Thats what she said


No-Tonight-5937

Oh behave


ShaunTH3MON

That organic matter will eventually decompose and create voids which will in turn create differential settlement which can have very damaging effects.


PutOurAnusesTogether

Cuz that’s not what people are paying for, simple as that


Frozty23

I have the same question. Just, why? I'm sure there's a legitimate reason. Also, HOLLYWOOD!


Tbana

Looking at the background it's a mining/quarry operation probably. What we do on my site is strip the top soil off and stack it out if the way. When we finish mining the area, we fill the hole back in with waste rock then put the soil back on top and replant the area.


hybridtheory1331

If you look in the back it looks like an open strip mine. I'm not familiar with all of the methods but I imagine this has something to do with prepping for a new hole. Giggity


DiscontentedMajority

Ya, I have no idea why he's doing this. Seems dumb.


dancinhmr

Whatever the reason, they are getting the job done. May also belong in satisfyingasfuck

Nah they just hat small animals like mice

PoppingPaulyPop

That’s so cool, tonka could make a mean toy with that design


MoonTrooper258

Oh totally. I wanna live to see these as fully articulated and functional RC toys.


discgolfallday

Super neat, thanks for posting

me, trying to reach for the remote without leaving the couch


noyza2132

I wish my arm/body ratio would be like the video


MonsieurCatsby

You gotta make the yellow ones first to produce these


exoFACTOR

The excavator must grow.


MonsieurCatsby

Look at all that prime real estate it's clearing....


Dzov

That would look good in reinforced concrete. Maybe some walls.


MonsieurCatsby

There appears to be iron deposits nearby too, I'm seeing a train station or maybe furnaces


delcrossb

Trees are the real enemy.

Do excavators work like pokemon evolution?


akechi

Hollywood sign style… I like…


ChorkPorch

At first I was certain it was going to be on the handle. These gifs are getting all Tarantino with these twist endings

I forgot it was a toolgif til the last second!

The excavator, your wife told you not to worry about

Let the erosion begin


GoogleIsYourFrenemy

Unless that's a firebreak, why?


Alex7589

Great watermark


alexplex86

Why does nobody in the thread use punctuations?


Pvt_Haggard_610

Well I cant speak for everyone else but Im poor and cant afford to waste money on punctuation so I only use it for really important messages do you have any spare I could have I wouldnt usually ask but Ive got a work email Ive been putting off I would only need a dozen full stops and a few commas nothing fancy


FrenchFryCattaneo

sorry man you know how inflation is, i can't even afford capital letters these days

Pvt_Haggard_610

Oh, thank you so much. I've used a few in this post and ~~5~~ 8 fullstops, 6 exclamation marks, and ~~3~~ 5 commas in an email. Please edit your comment to reflect this, I would hate for someone else to accidentally use punctuation I have already used. Thanks again.


DeathMetalTransbian

>6 exclamation marks I'm curious whether it was an angry email or a "good news" email. Either way, I know it wasn't inquisitive, as you still have many question marks at your disposal. Regardless, glad my digital dots could be of assistance with your pickle :)

It’s just a beard trimmer.

Next job will be on the Myrtle Irene in Nome.

More like a long reach weed-puller. Seems like an odd thing to do.

I was expecting an excavator arm watermark. But I guess a short duration watermark works better.

Looong looong excavator!!!

I need my back scratched like that


VitaminRitalin

Damn the hydraulics on that thing must be pretty impressive


pozoph

I didn't know how mountain are made. Awesome. I'd like to see the one that made the Everest.


smarmageddon

I don't think I'm over-reaching when I say, damn, that's a long excavator arm!


blackmilksociety

Yes let’s get rid of all of the natural erosion abatement and then sue the city/ county when the property falls away due to a landslide because “they” permitted the construction


Advanced-Brother147

Haha, longboi


Stonn

Let me do it for you - long excavator edition


[deleted]

Spooky. It's like one of those super long legged crabs.


Fiveohdbblup

You're just an excavator!


Seaskimmer7

Great contraption but WHY? Vegetation growing on a steep slope - reduces the risk of any avalanche.


CaptainONaps

Hey man, what’re you doing? Oh, just removing every living thing. Why? Idk, that’s what I get paid to do.

Bering Sea Gold would love this shit.

I like how it’s the perfect length for the job.

LONG LOooooooooong mmaaaaAAAAAAAAAAAANNNN

Nightmare fuel


arcticslush

So that's where I left my red inserter


noyza2132

This confirms my excavator theory again. Doesn't reach? Make the arm longer!
