Justin You don't make many videos now but when you make one you make a great one. What a great showing of this mighty machine Justin and you did it justice thanks for your great video
Enjoyed the documentary throughout. One of your best, in my humble opinion, so far. Bravo!

They're inside the bucket. The one on the left can be clearly seen at the 2:13 minutes mark.
That machine is just incredible.
man, you have so much knowledge on all these machines
What a monster of a shovel, Great vid!
Great video. Hate to think what a new machine would run. Thanks for sharing the vid and the knowledge.
Excellent job. Love learning about the great machines. Keep it up.
Great job on a big machine. Enjoyed it very much!

Only thing missing from the cab is a toilet and you could live in it
for a 9 year old machine she looks good feet a bit wet but what else can u expect . and again loving the videos keep safe and thanks
I'd love to see the big 655 at ekati....I guess it's still there
thanks for all details we can see the positions of the some hidraulics pipes so i think the CAT have more perfection in every detail is my opinion nice vedeo mate

The original Cat 5000 serious was a pretty sloppy layout, IMO. The new Cats are laid out nice, but that's also because their O&K design. Komatsu defiantly has a more operator friendly layout. Thanks!

It's a shame I can not work with a machine of these dimensions. Here in Norway there are very few. thanks mate for put this great vedeo and explain cheers
you gotta get a gopro camera and put it on your head when operating some of the machines in the mine.
3:36 i’m surprise there’s no metal covers over the motors and hoses
Great video's where are they from in PA I'm from Indiana county PA ......?
Nice video. How many hours?
You would think they would put guarding around the track motors. At the cost the machine I would expect that Even poclain does that.
wow that thing is big, can you give me a size comparison? the biggest thing I've ever been on is a marion 1800? dragline?I think that's the model?
Good video. What are those weights hanging beside the bucket cylinders? Pendulums, or is it to help with positioning the bucket over a truck?

+jix177 Those are plastic cones that are used to help truck drivers line up underneath the shovel. Thanks.
Thanks for the video. It amazes me how much it takes to make this machine run but it has one very basic function, to dig. What where the 2 things hanging down on either side behind the boom? I have seen those things on other machines but have no idea what they are used for.

+lidsman2221 Those are plastic cones. The purpose of them is so truck drivers can have a visual to help back and line up under the shovel bucket.

Oh very cool. I never would have guessed that. Thanks for the info.
I like how after spending millions on this machine you get a heated seat but you get basic switches and gauges you see in equipment from the 70's haha
those man baskets can be feel kinda funny if your not used to it
were in pa do you film.enjoy alot

Kewl video! One question tho...how often are these units down for? For example..are they run 24 hours a day or just in shifts?
@PAmining

+Mariusdubose That depends on the mine and what kind of production targets the job has. This machine runs on a 24/7 schedule with a single 8 hour inspection day once a week

Good video. Everybody buys out everybody so fast I can't keep up. Komatsu and Demag. Cat and O&K. Oh well. it's their money. I just run them. Was that conveyor support rollers squawking in the background? Sounded like it.

Ah HAH! The guys that did our drilling had Furakawa drills and they were more of a ziz than a squawk.
I've seen that one
Do you work in the mining industry? I was just wondering how you get access to all the awesome equipment. Keep up the videos, love watching them.

Is there a full time engineer on these bigger hydraulic machines or does the operator take care of the minor stuff?

No, mine maintenance usually does not have an engineer on staff. Just mechanics
