Conquering another sketchy hill.

What happens here

The initial plan to clear the steep backyard slope involves using the excavator. The operator attempts to drive the excavator up the grassy incline, utilizing the back blade for stability. However, the machine struggles due to insufficient track power on the wet, soft ground. This highlights a limitation of the specific excavator model (Daewoo 75V) for very steep, soft terrain, leading to a decision to switch to an alternative approach.

of what we do so we spun the excavator around so we could use the back blade to prop ourselves down to give ourselves more stability on the actual slope what alex is going to find he's going to have problems with is that daewoo or whatever you call that piece of crap doesn't have any power to those tracks this is where the achilles heel of this machine is it's just weak so he may have to pull himself up now as he pulls himself up he's got to coordinate the move two different movements and it's gonna feel a little bit off see how he's jiggling joggling right now that's not a fun feeling and this is what this is the problem with this machine in particular i said i've had a love-hate relationship with this thing well this is the hate part there we go now he has to crawl his way up and then if he finds himself sliding in the in go between when he lets down like right there we can put the blade down let me help him he's looking at me for existence what's going on is you are now experiencing why i hate this machine there is no power to these tracks okay when you get up when you pull yourself up you're doing perfect just put your back blade down and that'll keep you from sliding if you do the only thing you really got to worry about is this fence right so uh just use the back blade and then you gotta lift it up you gotta [Music] work your step stair step up that's all you can do you're fine otherwise and just nice and slow there's no rush nobody's yelling at ya we're not on a commercial site we're in someone's backyard trying to make it more more
