All right, there she is. That's the uh What payloader is that, Chris? Level L120H. L120H. What size is that? Basically, this is about a 4 and 1/2 yard loader right in that area. What we want to do today, Chris, is get people familiar with what to do and especially what not to do when they're first running a payloader. Now, I've owned and operated payloaders. And Chris, you got 26 years experience, don't you? Yeah, I got got quite a few since I was young. Real young. I watched him when I was filming other videos. This dude is like a guru of payloaders. So, um, my wife Hi. Doesn't she look excited, guys? [Laughter] Are you ready? Yeah. Okay. I have a sense that she's lying to us. Basically, we're going to try what we're going to try to do is we're going to go over to the stone pile. We're going to try to fill the bucket um as efficiently um and full as possible. Um we don't want a bunch of stone spilling over the back, but in the same token, we want it fairly full because the the main part of being productive with this machine is getting as much material into the truck or wherever it's going into to its destination. Okay. Um so, some things you want to look at, you want to make sure we're always going into the pile
