What happens here

The demonstration continues with the operator showing how to use the dual joysticks and foot pedals to maneuver the excavator's arm, boom, and bucket. He explains that pulling the left joystick up lifts the arm, and moving the right joystick left or right controls the bucket's scoop function. Pushing the left joystick away extends the arm, while pulling it towards oneself retracts it. This precise control is crucial for efficiently removing large tree stumps, root systems, and embedded rocks from the hedgerow. The goal is to achieve a clean, graded surface necessary for laying down mulch evenly across the landscape. The operator then begins the process of extracting the first large tree stump, showcasing the power and precision of the machinery in transforming the landscape.

Goal: The operator demonstrates precise control of the excavator's joysticks to move the arm and bucket, focusing on extracting large tree stumps and roots to clear the land.

backward soon as you pull this it starts beeping you'll hear a beep okay so we'll pull this one up and that lifts the arm up off the ground okay now we can go left right up and down so up and down very cool left and right very big swings on this thing very very sensitive now we have bucket control so the scooper on the bucket if I move it to the left let's bring it up a little bit I move to the right it pulls the bucket down and if I move it okay if I moved to the left it scoops the bucket up also if I pull to me it brings the elbow in and if I push away it brings the elbow out so you have to find that fun little spot that makes it sweet so that you can dig a straight and even hole that's what the whole goal is is to find the sweet spot and that's what the learning curve is here so that's what we're going to do we're gonna swing around here and we're gonna get busy we're probably going to knock some trees down here just first thing we're going to try and do is get our first stump out of the day now again I only have about three hours on this machine I am totally learning totally a newbie hopefully by the end of the day I won't be a total newbie and I'll know a little bit about what I'm doing
