I’ve always wanted to run one of those heavy duty hydraulic shovels.I’ve run a cat 312 and 315 excavators.

These walkaround videos are great! Thanks PAmining!

A great looking machine!

She's a monster! We have 3 of them here at a mine i haul fuel into in IDAHO USA! And I have been an operator as well as trucking and to watch one of these load a train car with material is like a kid with a new bike!! For me lol!! Your vids are great!! Amigo Ty for all your hard work and knowledge of all the machines I love!!

I got to climb up one of these at one of the oil sands operations recently, wish I had an opportunity to run it.

Impressive machine and nice lesson & catch! :-)

Big machine, almost need to fly a drone around it to cover all of it. thanks for posting.

I work in a welding shop in Edmonton Alberta and we just finished a 21 yard bucket for one of these beasts, biggest bucket I've worked on to date, gave me a little perspective to the sheer size of these massive machines.

Oh yeah. Especially seeing a bucket for one inside a welding shop gives a real good indication of their size.

The bucket looks small in comparison to the huge size of the machine.

Outstanding as usual.....I still think you should consider approaching the Discovery channel with an idea centered around what you have here and in your archives. Ever considered setting up the camera so respected viewers can see you go over the tech info?

These videos are too good, informative and drama-free for the discovery channel.

Awesome. As always loved it. Perhaps you would think of getting a pop filter or something to cut out the wind noise someday?

appu jacob I've already made custom wind muffs for both my cameras. This video was shot before I ever did that. Thanks!

Generally speaking, what's the typical path for someone who operates those types of machines...ie education, training...etc? Thanks!

Great video. Would like to see this beast working. The power compartment you said can be lifted out in one piece. Is this a new concept and is it a good idea. Does it benfit the owner to buy into the idea? The quality of your videos have improved. Thanks for taking the time to put quality onto your productions. Well done my friend.

Lynd Gemberling Search my Channel, I have a video of this machine loading trucks. The power module idea on big machines has been around for decades now, however it made it's first appearance on the 13-15yd class machines that were converted over from a twin engine design in the early to mid-2000s. Power modules existed on the older twin engine machines, but you can imagine how large and clunky they were to transport. Hitachi was the first, replacing the EX1800-3 with the EX1900-5 which featured a single engine power module. Komatsu followed in 2007 with it's PC2000-8. Now Caterpillar has come out with the 6020 which resembles both of these machines with its ease of maintenance design. Thank your for your comment! I do realize I have come a long way with my videos, and I still enjoy producing them for my fans!

How many hours of operation does one tank of fuel provide?

Are you going to mine expo in Vegas next September? Thanks for the video!

lidsman2221 Yes sir, I'll be there! Thanks!

beautiful machine. was wondering, do you guys have any RH400's over there? i operated one briefly when my school had a thing going where we'd have to spend a week in a job related to the profession we were going for. and i got a spot in an iron mine. got to operate an RH400 front shovel, a Cat 785, and a Cat 992k. would love to see you do a documentary on one of those shovels, if there's one nearby.

Midas Imperius There are no RH400's in the U.S that I am aware of. I believe all the ones operating in North America are in Canada

I've been waiting 2 years for this documentary. thx for the excellent video

DopedUpManiacs Two years of waiting? I didn't know I had fans waiting for my releases that long haha. That would be when I filmed it. Thanks!

So since I run a little Hitachi ex120 could I run one of these machines because they are the same controls?

@PAmining

9 жыл бұрын

Bubbles Samsquanch Sure, the controls are the same, but this is a totally different animal than an EX120. Running a machine is one thing, anyone can run something. To be a good smooth operator of one of this big machines takes skill.

PAmining hahaha yea i assume i was just wondering if it was the same basic controls,concepts...

Hey PAmining...I have maybe a silly question...I've always wanted to know why...but never asked when I was working with excavators...especially big ones like this...question is, why are the boom cylinders hung upside down, well cane either way but to me they are upside down lol...

That is to prevent rock dust built-up on the seals. I will be doing a short to discuss this as it's a very popular question! Thanks!
