I will tell you what, I was on a haul off job, and the guy I was hauling off stopped me as I was backing in. He was panicked, He needed to go to the hospital his wife was having their baby a few weeks early. He asked if I would load the trucks for the rest of the day. He had a brand new John Deere 210g. Only 130 hrs on her. He had one of the largest buckets on that machine, and we were excavating a cut where the bottom of the tracks were about 10 feet higher than the top of the bed on the dump trucks. I must say with a huge bucket, I did not like loading trucks that far below me. I felt like I was really dumping huge amount into the bed uncontrolled. It was such a large bucket that it felt like as you stretched out the arm to fill the trucks the excavator was going to end up in the bed along with the dirt in the bucket. Got it done but I just felt uncomfortable all afternoon.

There is a sub division about 3 miles from one quarry built in the 60s that you probably cant find a house in without a cracked foundation. There seems to be a lot of activity your area.
