Thanks for that trackhoe, I see what you mean, right tools for the right job, I could watch these videos all day, the size of these machines never fail to impress me, take care man.
What am I missing? The trucks are dumping inside the radius of the dragline. Can’t the dragline pull the bucket and dump the material in the same location as the dumpers? I’ve seen them get the bucket extremely close to the dragline operator. Puzzling.
They could, but I think it would be much slower. The dragline is designed for production digging and to have the truck in just the right place and get the bucket over the truck and carefully dumped without spilling all over would cut into production rather than swinging over the pile and letting it fly. The shovel can load much faster so the trucks don't have to wait as long.
This may sound like a daft question to you more experienced guys, but why can't the drag-line dump that rock straight into the trucks? thus, save moving it a second time with the Demag, after all I have seen a LIMA 2400 drag-line loading coal directly into trucks in another one of your video's. Great video by the way, another thumbs up.
love the b model 777....they never die. there what built this part of eastern ky., and west v.keep the black smoke rollin'....coal keeps the lights on..coal mining is all we got. my family has lived and will die by the black rock, if it comes down to pick n shovel.

I'm just itching to take my pressure washer and go ape on that thing!!

I see eyes, a mouth, and TEETH on that machine!

Why are the trucks dumping out on the dragline pile?
Curious to know what the cubic yardage is of the face shovel?
If I'm not mistaken, the H185S has a bucket range of 16-18 cubic yards.
@@scottlee9428 Thank you for that.
WHO KNEW DRESSER MADE DRAGLINES INTERESTING?
It's a Marion drag line as it shows under the name of the mine Dresser.
Dragline crane

Blue Excavator with poor efficiency . Big body with extra small bucket.
