Now THAT Is how you operate a dragline! One flowing movement and making use of the natural swinging motion to get your bucket exactly where you want it to land. Your bucket is hanging a a bit 'ass down' you could do with a slightly longer Tumble cabel. Maybe 7 or 8 inches longer. Then there will be less material washing over te back end of the bucket. Nothing to offend you. Love the machine and the Nice running Detroit. Those engines are rare here in Europe. Greetings
I operated one in the late 70s for 4 years. 60" of boom and 1 1/2 hendrix bucket. Digging wet sand, a little tipsey on the sides. Untill you learn how operate one all other equipment is a piece of cake.
