Messicks Youtube video... the BX Challenge

[blueriver]

I guess I can't fathom why in any way, shape or form a dealer would videotape himself or his employees doing something so stupid as a speed contest with no regard for safety. People putting their bodies between the boom of a backhoe and the frame of the unit, then reaching up and moving the levers in a race is just asinine. Good luck in court if any one of your customers injures themselves working on their backhoe or loader.

Okay finally watched it ... yes there are a couple times the safety police would issue citations ...

Because it's FUN and people should be responsible for their own actions and not blame a dealer obviously doing something fun.

Yes its Fun and yes people should be responsible for their own actions ... but in todays world they will pass the blame.

I think it is good I've seen people have trouble getting the equipment hooked back up the proof is in the puddin.

Tell me the NASCAR pit crews dont practice like that.

If you practice and follow the instructions it shouldn't take over 5 minuets for the loader or hoe to be disconnected.

Although this video was more for fun, it was the original video that actually taught me how to R&R my BX FEL. BXpanded's was also very helpful.

Looks like you guys had a lot of fun. :thumbsup:

Do you have a reference for the original and expanded videos? Thanks, Dave

That is the challenge video - I was hoping for the one that taught proper R&R for the FEL. Thanks though.
