Nice machine. It looks good, sounds good, and seems to operate very well. Big kudos to the operator. Loading a small truck, with a dragline takes great skill and experience to make it look this easy, like this.
Very good operator. I agree with all the comments of his skill. I’ll add that he also doesn’t let the spreader bar hit the bucket when the bucket lands
Excellent depth perception. A deft awareness of crane movement and performance while under load. Timing. Careful Operator synchronization of foot and hand movement in controlling the swing, drag, and hoist. Quick reaction to abrupt changes in the crane stability, performance and the surrounding environment. A deficiency in any of these areas can result in catastrophic results. ............Skilled operation results in maximized speed of operation, precision bucket placement, reduced wear and tear on the machine, and reduced mental and physical stress on both the Operator and the truck driver.
A true Art form to cooperate one. More rare are those old Artist by the day.. when I was a kid I was lucky enough to have a old neighbor who ran one. I could watch him all day. He could drop bucket with in a foot of anyplace every time like a expert fishing cast. Never a tangled cable. He said mess ups are expensive. It's get a cutting torch and a waste of rope also time /$$
I worked for Isaac's decades back, on the loaders and crushers. Hough 65's IIRC. The ponds were exacavated welll below waterline level by RB backhoes. This operator is very proficient - notice the pause in the slew on the way back from the truck offload, to let out as much main cable as possible, then a slew-and-cast to well over boom reach. Choice.....

Well I enjoyed watching you play at wheat and wheels ,
That guy is seriously good . The way he casts that bucket is poetry in motion
I used to operate a Dragline many many years ago and I know just what a skilled job it is and never got close to that level. seriously impressive!
Spent most of my life around trucks and machinery in NZ ... always regret not learning to operate a dragline. This operator has an awesome cast!

Functional machines are beautiful. Enjoyed it. Thank you from Japan.
I can stand and watch a dragline operating all day
Best part is the dog riding along!! Haha! Great day of operating!

Damned good operator best I’ve seen on here!
A very nice machine. Even the old machine can still be productive.
Good operator on a good looking machine!
ive watched a lot of dragline videos, this guy is one of less than a handful of operators. the rest are herders at best.

Hardly any spillage around the hall truck. He's good 👍..
Good operarator and nice jack Russell supervising
He’d be a surf caster on the week end
