1st Test Run of the Excavator & grapple

What happens here

Use the backhoe's joystick controls to manipulate the grapple. The top buttons on the joystick typically control the spinning, opening, and closing of the grapple. Approach piles of mixed debris and begin separating materials. Place pure dirt in one pile, organic waste (like roots and sticks) in another, and general debris (such as concrete blocks, plastic, and garbage) into a separate area. Emphasize thorough sorting to prevent contamination of reusable materials and adhere to waste management regulations. Use the grapple's precise movements to pick up and place individual items or small clusters of material.

Goal: Operate the backhoe with the grapple to efficiently sort and load various types of debris, ensuring proper separation of organic materials, pure dirt, and general waste for appropriate disposal or recycling.

[Music] we're gonna next we're gonna put the grapple through its paces just to make sure that it's ready for the season so the best place to do it is just to go through our debris piles and get those organized because that's got to get hauled out but unfortunately we can't put everything into one big chunk and haul it all the way it's all got to be sorted and because it goes to different areas so the stuff that's pure debris goes in one pile the stuff that's organic based goes in a different pile and the stuff that's just dirt gets separated out and we'll talk about why we have to do that in just a minute are these all junk tarps or what um [Music] so if you look where tim's running right now the actual grapple runs off the two top buttons on the top of his joystick so right where he's got his thumbs that controls the spinning and the opening and closing of the grapple [Music] we were just talking about the difference between a tilt rotator and a gravel i've never used a tilt rotator but i'm sure it has its applications but this one you can still move dirt with and pick stuff up and build boulder walls with it so i don't know i the rotator is probably going to move more dirt right if that's what you're looking to do i guess a matter of whether you want to move dirt or you want what your job is guys are trying to build boulder walls with them or like i don't i don't think you could i mean i guess it's got a little they got little tiny pinchers on the back some tilt rotators yeah i said you probably pick stuff up but you can pick like pipes and stuff but you can't really grab like a boulder rotated 360 and shove it into a crevice and make it fit right with them unless you're really good with it i mean if all you were doing was digging you know that's it it was all you were doing was digging in the dirt i can see that but like what we do this this is it right there demo and dirt and kind of everything i think i've still got more time in that cabelco building bolder walls with the permanent thumb than i do with this grapple so i mean we used to do that all the time you can drop it on the ground line it up spin it drop it back on the ground spin it or you get it up there and you kind of just use a tooth to twist the block and pop it in place pop it if you can make it work you can make anything work man you can make anything work but then with this one just oh yeah that's yup they're they're slick maybe along the edge here we got some organic thicker organics…
