Love the music!! Machine noise is always best!!

I ran that thing 3 years ago but I'm not 100 percent if that was me or not. Lol. Oiled for a few years on nightshift first. Some days everything felt smooth and went well other days hell on earth. 😂

How reliable is that excavator? Is there a lot of downtime and maintenance? How many tons per bucket?

Trucks could probably hold more

I don't know how and why some people do dislike to a beautiful video like this??

Thank you! I enjoy filming them just as much.

That is one beautiful beast !

Excellent footage.

Certainly interesting video. My gramps bootleged hard coal in Northumberland County. He would drag me along to the "strippins" while on summer break. Good times. Thanks for the cool videos 👍

as Always i love your work. nice to se a smooth operator in action.

these older cable machines seem simpler more efficient than new hydraulic ones.

So good to see old iron still out there working.

My and father and I moved this machine from Bingham Canyon, Utah to Kentucky. Nice to it still swinging dirt.

nice video. not that oporater first day on the job three scoops done next truck.

It's interesting to see older technology like rope shovels still out there and killing it in mines. Are they still around because of lower costs compared to a hydraulic front shovel, or are there other reasons?

Electric shovels in general are designed to last for decades and are meant for long-term mining projects. These machines are simple in design and manufactures offer numerous electrical and computer upgrades for the machines as they get older.

And, they are bought and paid for. Lol why we still occasionally run Dart 600D wheel loaders. Because they are paid for and can only make money

I say let them dig!

Whats the difference with the xp series boom?

Mmm... Classic rope shovels are the best!

Does the shovel have a train horn on it?

what an odd cab for an shovel of that type sort of small for that size shovel keep up the great work my friend thanks for getting back to me about the diorama so quick

The cab is actually of age with the base machine. That's how the P&H Cabs from the 1970s looked. Thanks!

The early 2800's had the sloping front windows.

When hydraulics arnt enough and flexible steel wire rope is required to haul arse lifting the bucket up n down. Those drums must move to see that bucket move so quick. Powerful. There would a stupid amount of torque on the drum reels. I know those trucks load 300 tone so the buckets probably 100 tonne capacity.

Welded plus 10 tons of metal to the ladle, and then they are surprised that the parameters of the electric motors fall and the cable often breaks)))

👍👍

Is this an Electric shovel? I don't see any exhaust stacks.

Yes, it is electric powered

Good shovel man. Doesn't kill the trucks, unlike the nitwit we had. And looks like Komatsu bought out the Corn Poppers. Hear a hammer pecking away in the background. Good one, pal!

That thing has to be lifting at least 80 tons a bucket or 90. 830s are probably 300 ton trucks or close to it. We use to have 2 730s at the mine I worked at and alot of cat 789s.

I've had some opportunities to be in the seat. It's always been fun to play around for a bit. But no I do not operate as a profession. I am a mining engineer. Thanks!

Is a rope-shovel turn around faster than a hydraulic version? Looks it!

@PAmining

7 жыл бұрын

With the right operator and in well blasted material, a rope shovel is always faster than a hydraulic shovel

So I guess the silver spade would make this big guy look kinda small? And I'm guessing that the spades shovel could, in theory, pick up that hauling dump truck? Yes?

@jjMcCartan9686

Well it probably could but the silver spade was cut up & scrapped after a history group couldn't raise enough money to buy it & the land it was on .

How many people does it take to operate the machine?

One man operates the shovel . I’ve never run one myself, but I’ve been on board and watched from directly behind the operator. Awesome machines . Over 100 tons per scoop .
