This was a tough old nut to crack, but its almost gone, enjoyed your films on this demo...
Thanks John. Another good one.
Hey John, you make some really awesome videos and I enjoy watching them. Always look forward to the next one. As I was watching this one, I was wondering if some how your videos could help the guy running the demolition excavator. I noticed he has a camera mounted up on the boom below the "claw" and I am sure that helps so much but maybe he could use a "live" feed of your camera from a distance as well to help. Anyway, have a good one!
Painfully slow sometimes wrecking ball is faster especially on the upper floors.
😮😊 Hi John w, I'm new to your channel watching your video The machine in the video. Do they call that an excavator long reach with the powerful cutting jars on it, but I think must be able to reach at least almost 100 ft high 10 stories high Good machine they came out with. I think that's a lot quicker than the wrecking ball. Sometimes they use on a crane. Thank you. Watch another one in your videos again very soon.
Compare this old building to the Mc lean construction 😂 They knew how to build them back in the day & yes its a shame a sturdy building like this couldn't have been re purposed but the costs out weighed the demo but im glad they're keeping one side of this historic building.
Thanks, again, John. Is this the same operator we saw in the last one, vigorously attacking everything in reach? This one seems to be back to the "I'm not sure what I want to do next" approach.
That must have been the maximum reach of this Hitachi long reach for this job .
When this is done, can you takes all parts and compress it to maybe a 10 or 20 minute time-lapse video?

My guess is there are several dozen terabytes of data for this series. Never get it condensed down that short.
Do you know you`re camera is slightly out of focus John ?
Why can't the operator either pull or push the walls?
Hitachi ZX 470 + Demarec MQP30 ?
👍
This excavator is a better cutter than a picker, and it is not all that great as a cutter.
