This is making me upset.

Construction rules 1) any problem can be fixed with a hammer 2) any tool can be used as a hammer

Faster , faster, Goooddddddd.

Plot twist; that's the foreman!
Tomawok
Don’t be gentle it’s a rental

Like he doesn’t need to bang it in just push it down...
HighFiveHerButtCheeks
"that's what she said" - Michael Scott
Goldmarble
Won't work. If the ground is very compacted, or if it is hitting rock? Tiny machine ain't pushing anything into it.
birdupbirddown
Boss: "Here's what you gotta get done, and this is what you have to work with. Im taking a 90 min lunch, have it done by the time I'm back."

Oontz oontz oontz oontz oontz
dunewolf
I mean.. there is a correct tool you can buy that does this far faster and better then trying to do it with a skid loader..
well rent..
Himser
But this isbthe one ghey alredy had, and its far cheaper just to use one peice of equipment then multiple.
Yeh I get it - just like how my bro was going to have me dig a septic field by hand before I told him fuck no, rent a machine yeh cheap ass
Lol, well if i had to do a septoc feild with a fence i would onlybrent a hoe. Dig, pile, move dirt, dig trenching and push in fenceposts.
skullified
I’m as
ProfessorChaos
Me too bud, me too.
JohnnyDS60
But the media fosters the "screw the boss before he screws me" thinking.
FallingStar7669
A lot of bosses foster that as well. Doesn't mean we should be wasteful and stupid with equipment.
DamnedAustin
I don't think the media is responsible for under-valued workers bruh.
karmasamburg
If he was my employee, I'd fire him.
TheReal1James
That equipment is built to handle much more abuse than that. Still wouldn’t buy rental equipment but that’s not really that harsh
millsy1
I agree. Calling that "Abuse" is a bit ridiculous. I'd rather posts installed securely even if it wasn't 'great' for a machine.
yippee4x42000
I love the ohhh shit I’ve been busted look
jaff24
I get that this is bad, what will it ruin though?
rodrigosanchez
oh.. break welds, cause hydraulic seal failure, wear out pivot points, overheat hydraulics, etc.
areyousureyoudontwantacupofteafather
What a fucking tool.
Cerbetto
At least he is working unlike most slackers on here!
Iatesomecoffeecups
Ya fucking weapon
edgaropolous
Mgiggity
Not a cool CAT
LooseyGooseyBrett
The weight alone should be able to push it down
No, i do this all the time, you need the slam to make it work. A Hoe could just push, but not this machine.
You’d be surprised
Lamplord
Thats really dependent in the soil and how far it is already. How do you know thats not a 100 ft long pole and its pretty much hitting rock?
I've done enough work with geoprobes to know
TheBinky
Because it's a fence post.
What a fucking tool!!

Wow?!?! A tool fucking
l8t4wrk
Could be employees in general 90% don't care if they tear up the equipment they don't have to pay for it.
fallenman479
This is a capitalist economy. Pay me to care.
[deleted]
PuppyDontCare
Why do you care so much about the well-being of a company? To them replacing stuff is cheap
jinbee
Half the time it's because management won't buy the right tools, or only buy shit tools. Some people care just animals though.
TrundImaginationBandit
If we fuck up our equipment, it only fucks us over
Metallica93
Maybe if Menards paid me more, I wouldn't be burning rubber doing donuts in their forklifts (I'm kidding; I still would have).

Hey man, if you dont stand for something....
ILaughAndCryEveryDayFromU
90s a bit much
Do you work in construction?
My whole life. Guess I'm that other 10% you have those things to make your job easier, dont be a dick about using things that aren't yours.
pleaseuseotherdoor
And if the company doesn't make as much money this quarter because of equipment repair costs, you're probably not gonna get a raise.
ryuChronicles
some don't understand this
ForseHucker
Because it doesn't happen. That money goes straight into the owners pocket and nowhere else.
Cynical9Cyanide
Fucking bullshit. If the equipment costs are low, that money goes straight into profit. Why pay more for your labour than you have to?
I work for a smallish family run business that generally gives good bonuses, perks and raises in good quarters and years. This past year...
We had too many product damages and equipment/vehicle repairs and the boss is feeling the heat to cut costs from above.
There's always one person with an anecdotal story about an exception to the rule. Good for you. No one cares about statistical outliers.
bannedagain80
so whats the issue with this? working smarter?
alexiselizabethxo
Do you want damaged hydraulic pumps/lines? Cuz that’s how you get damaged hydraulic systems.
Cheaper then renting multiple peices.
AeliosSolus
Pretty sure he's messing that machine up pretty bad by using it incorrectly.
SoupCanMan
Rapid valve changes. And since it is improper tool usage, it is wasted wear on the valve seals and pump. Causes cavitation.
mikenco
My FiL services plant equipment. He says people only look after their own tools. They don't give a rat's ass if it's company properly.
Eldibs
I guarantee you that people don't look after their own tools either. People tear shit up.
MacClay
I knew a guy that would rent power tools he already had better versions of because whatever he was about to do was 100% gonna fuck them up.
wtforero
How some drivers act with cabs, they don’t last long
Noctourn
Students are the same way. If they don't own it, they will break it just because. Though I don't see how this one would damage the steel
BurrRankShanks
The fucking hydros man
lotaxi
I'm the polar opposite of that mindset. I don't give a shit about wear and tear on my personal tools, but if theyre not mine they stay clean
MBVagabond
it's a different thing when the company you work for buys them in bulk. They should still be treated better but I understand the theory
Rivalyn
I hate talking to people and if I damage an expensive tool, people are going to insist on talking to me until they're satisfied.
bobcock
What?
I don't break tools to avoid people talking to me trying to make me feel bad for breaking the tool.
Angel337
That's when you borrow from a friend
I mean when I do, they're returned in as close to their original condition as possible.
Bugs me so much when people have that "well it's not mine so fuck it" mindset
iceynyo
It's because it only takes one person to ruin it for everyone, and that person definitely exists.
vilecomfort
Would the company give a rats ass if something happened to the employees personal tools?
kittybuttwiggle
Probably wouldn't go out of their way to fuck it up
AnAliyAiden
Nope.
NowYourJustBeatingOffaDeadHorse
Where I work, the company grants us 20k in tool insurance in case of theft, or something happens to the shop. And for $5 a week, we can
get up to 50k in protection. But the first 20k is completely free.
captain0marvel
Not one bit.
MrXandHisNewHat
I work maintenance for apartment communities and my employer will replace any tool that breaks on the job.
MonocledMonotreme
Same work, but I'm not allowed to use my own tools. If I prove a the need, they just buy me the tools or give me the company card.
UberWulf
You seem to be the minority in my experience. Stolen tools have been an issue for me in the past as well.
CheeseB0t
That's cool n all but your boss would be an exception rather than a rule. Very uncommon policy your boss has there
Malus333
My last 2 jobs replaced broken tools. They also offered tool allowance. Current job is if i need it it is my responsibility
You downgraded :(
ObliqueRay
I don't know anything about these machines. I take it this is bad?
Some people here think so, anyone actually in construction knows that its cheaper to fix the hydo system a little more often then buy 300
Differnet peices of equipment. This is 100% how most small companies put in fence posts.
HandsomeJackWilshere
Negative, most have an air compressor and hand pounder with a sleeve that goes around the post. Doing this is rarely a good idea
If your main job is fence posts, thisnisnlikely a sub grade contractor who was also asked to build a fence.
Madclaw21
Especially when he could just push it into the ground by lowering the bucket. Even one that small should have enough power to push it down.
OtterAvalanche
Rapid valve changes are no bueno
NomadicAssassin
Is cavitation alone the issue or are there other problems? Couldn’t find my answer with a google search :(
unevenload
Thank you for explaining it to us pencil pushers!
BionicBeach
So what if he did it slower?
Then you wouldn't get the force of a free falling metal bucket. Also, the stress on the PTO system and hydros. Fuck.
marsgoose
Yes, rapid and frequent direction changes are bad on hydraulics.
I have one hydraulic drive machine that pops wheelies if you do a quick back and forward. The temptation man, it's too much.
NatsukiIsMyWaifu
Maybe I should quit doing that on my Tractor. Whoops.
Nah just get a rental when you want to do this.
It has the ability to do so in case you accidentally into a ditch and need a quick recover.
LocalZoophile
I think you a word there
Nah just leaving it open to imagination what can you do with a ditch and heavy machinery.
