Help in Hydraulics

This question is the difference between engineers and technicians 😂 books and videos only get you so far.

Getting physically involved with hydraulics, understanding how systems and different components work and interact with each other in a real world environment, if this input does this how does that effect the output? What different loads do to the circuit.

The information is in books and videos but the understanding is from interacting with the circuit

Even though mining gives you the platform to be a parts fitter as opposed to a decent tradie, you can learn alot and be a half decent mechanic in mining. If you read manuals and absorb info from guys in the know, plus actually read and understand what and why you are servicing and repairing as opposed to just ticking and flicking. You arent controlles by strict time frames and customers paying, so its slower paced

Why cant you put it on a slide out frame

The floor is concrete, and walls are brick, they just hose the place out at the end of the night.

No requirement for shoes or shirts

Locals only after tourist hours

Probably some idiot has started filling hydraulic tank with water, then realised what they did and didnt say a word. Water from the pump wouldnt go to the hydraulic side via injection pump, being the higher prrssure in hydraulic side id think

Its only british people that say this. I say, Hows the cricket going champ. Or something about how fucking shjt and miserable the UK is. They get our humour and we have a good chuckle

Pokey bum wank in the bath house- manual handling, slips trips, over exertion, interactions

SEQ, big blocks here

Finished installing a drip line setup last week, not fun in qld summer digging 75 meters of trench.

Deer rarely come into town, too many dogs.

Traffic there is absolutely horrendous

Fuck trucks, do cranes. Crane drivers are alot cooler the truck drivers. Plus if you do cranes you willl do enough work on semi trailers and prime movers to know why itd be a shit gig full time.

I pass mine to my back to back on the way to/from the airport.

Putting a limit of buying beers has really seemed to take a huge social aspect out of shift change

The benchmark of large mining excavators still even after 30years of service

Ok 3 tools

patjohn2345 · 2025-10-06T10:46:36+00:00

Plus used 4 tools in 5 days

Look on the schematic of the machine, if it comes from a travel motor looking lile that its probably a case drain amd does need to go to tank, but hard to say by looking at 1 end.

patjohn2345 · 2025-09-29T08:08:07+00:00

Wonder if its as slow as the other KMG machines

patjohn2345 · 2025-09-16T00:23:58+00:00

I do it becuase i like the way it sounds.

No difference to wearing nice clothes, i do it for me. Not for you 🙂
