What this gentleman doesn’t know about large machines is not worth knowing! His attention to detail is second to none, and he delivers the knowledge so well, that even I can understand it! I have watched this man’s boots and hands for years now, but recently he made some shorts showing his face…finally!
Haha, thank you for the support all these years! There will be a new short series coming out soon that I'm excited about, stay tuned!
I basically grew up with this channel, found his videos around 2010 ish, back when his channel name was different, am now in my mid 20s, and work in the marine industry around heavy equipment! still check in from time to time, glad to see him still going.
And he is younger looking than I thought.
Thanks for putting together another impressive video documentary. I remember back in the day when this haul truck and the larger R-190 were top of the line for mining and any kind of mass earthmoving projects. The original Euclid paint color was fantastic. That Euclid green always made their machines stand out. I was wondering if this particular R-170 is still working regularly, or is it retired? The truck appears to be in pretty good condition. Take Good Care.
Agreed, I love the high-lite green color of these trucks. Even the "look" of a Euclid is just mean and badass looking. Sadly today everything is yellow or orange. Oh, and I will be featuring the R190 in the future!
@@PAmining I’m definitely looking forward to your video doc. of the R-190.
BIG old girl and THANKS, Pal! An R-35 was as big a Euc as I ever herded and a 773 Cat was the biggest here. Still is as far as I know but being out of the loop is wonderful. Watch out for rolling rocks with trucks under them and God Bless All Yall!
Cool old truck. I always thought the diesel/ electric was a great simple design, especially in haulage units. Why it was not utilized more blows my mind. Thanks Justin. Just for the record, I’ve decided to hang up the hard hat and steel toes this coming week. Over 45 years in the coal mining. Will probably do some part time stuff down the road, but for now I’m ready for a break.
I think in recent years the diesel electric is definitely making a big come back in loaders and dozers. And congrats buddy, hats off to all those years of experience!
A blue Euclid... now I've seen it all.
What a beast of a mining dump truck.
Thanks for the presentation 👍👍👍
Haha! Glad you enjoyed it!
Wow! I am amazed that this beast is still alive and in pretty good shape too….
Can you do company wide documentary? Say from the beginning of a manufactures life, the best tech and machines they are known for.
Good idea, I’d watch.
Yeah, I always thought Euclid ended up with Terex?!
@@ahabeger Euclid spun off to White. Terex was what was left with GM. They developed competing lines of off-road haulers. My dad managed a Euclid/Terex/DD dealer at the time, and it was sure confusing.
That's an interesting request! I feel I wouldn't nail it as well as some people who make historical videos do on here just because of the lack of historical footage and copyright
Awesome video it looks like a Lehigh anthracite truck
I like your videos and i enjoy your prononciation which is kristall clear.
Well thank you!
Another quality documentary once again PA 👍👍👍
The dumptuck ones are some of my favourites, being a former dumptuck driver myself...
Haha, awesome 😎
Great documentary this is so awesome love your videos
Thanks so much! I'm glad you enjoy the videos, there will always be new ones :)
It just amazes me the size of some of the equipment. I would love to work in one of these big mines. I run a 385B lme at a lime stone quarry in Iowa.
But the sheer size of the equipment and these mines just blows my mind!
Plz keep the videos coming! Thankz!
385s a great machine! We have one at work to load 150 ton cat trucks with. The big iron is cool! I try my best to capture the sheet size of this equipment in my videos, but it doesn't always do it justice
@@PAmining to load 150 ton trucks? 😯
I'm loading 3 komatsu HM400, and a cat D400.
3 buckets in the cat truck, 4 buckets in the komatsu
Amazing and well made documentary as you always do
Thank you, glad you enjoyed it :)
Another first-class video very interesting.
Glad you enjoyed it :)
Great video, I drove one of these at a coal mine in Western Canada for three years in the mid 80’s. Fabulous machine and great video!
Cool, and thank you! Glad you liked it
Wonder if she's still being utilized? She appears to be. Love these big Tonka Trucks! Thanks so much for showing us the 'ol girl!
A truck ahead of their time
I was hoping to see the other half of the electrical cabinet.... but I still love your videos!
I could rock my half mile driveway in one pass with that thing!
😮😮😮 Should be saved.this is the piece of old engineering tech.
Amazing piece of machinery, very impressive.
Great video as always. Thank you for sharing with us all !
You're welcome!
Peabody’s Bear Run mine has a couple in this color but they are R 260
I believe they have one R260 left running
Thanks PA. Always great content.
My pleasure! 😁
She's a beauty
Excellent as usual.
Thank you! Cheers!
Another great video keep them coming please. I would love to know the hour's on these machines and if they are still in use today
You would have made a great salesman !
Haha thank you!
That thing makes the 70 tons I drove in a rock quarry look like a VW bug...Wow
Haha! Yeah she's big old girl! Thanks!
I have to ask,do you have ALL of this knowledge memorized or is it all voice over from a script?
You sound so natural that I'm guessing you're a human talking encyclopedia!
Keep up the great content.
All my documentary's are scripted before hand so I get the wording right but they are filmed live. Occasionally I will do a voice over to correct something I messed up while filming. I also plan the whole walk-through before hand so I know what and what not to show and the route I want to take throughout the machine. Thanks!
Melroe multi wheel bulldozers have you heard of them?
Good ol White Motor Corporation. The great destroyer. If you went into business with them you could pretty much guarantee that within 10 years all that would be left of your company name was a dried up shell.
White motor company, killing good company’s since 1900
You can definitely tell they used the same engineering as a diesel electric Locomotive. Especially when you opened the electrical cabinet
It's awesome isn't it!
Работал на нём очень хороший самосвал
Awesome
Mighty Machines had this truck.
There was 2 of them and that episode was filmed at the Redlands Quarries site in Dundas Ontario in the summer of 1994 Redlands Was brought out by Lafarge in 1998 and the R170's were retired in the 2000-2001 time frame the pit is still in operation today but is powered exclusive by Caterpillar mining trucks
Impressive but and so is the videographer's knowledge. But, like so many other pieces of surface mining equipment it likely became too expensive to operate.
i assume ur not referencing the terex titan???
Thanks again for another great video! Any idea why they’d used the diesel electric configuration? As I understand, traditional mechanical driveline is more efficient.
@imdavid28 One big advantage to the diesel electric system is that it eliminates the mechanical transmission. No torque converter, transfer case, differential, etc. This adds up to a substantial weight savings. The diesel electric system should be more fuel efficient due to a lower empty truck weight. Of course there are other factors involved. Maintenance of the diesel electric haul truck should be less expensive also. The downside is that to do the maintenance you will need mechanics as well as electrical technicians. Traditional mechanical drive haul trucks are still being built and in some applications they are preferred. To give you an example, Caterpillar has many of their giant 797 haul trucks operating around the world. Also we can refer to the legendary Caterpillar 793 haul trucks in the 240 - 255 tons class. So yes mechanical drive still has a strong presence in the mining industry, especially with the models available from Caterpillar. The battle between these two drive systems has been going on for decades. I’m pretty sure that as of 2024 the diesel electric drive for haul trucks holds a fairly comfortable lead in market share. Take Care.
@@williamhall9204thank you very much for explanation!
It's about the same set up as a locomotive
👍🏻👍🏻
Eutachi
When will the battery powered unit be unveiled? Lol😂
Lmao 🤣🤣
What's a trolley brake?
Essentially it's the foot brake on the floor, just activated by a lever. The purpose is to hold the truck in position while being loaded so the driver doesn't have to hold the brake pedal
