Good day sir I am crane operator her in the Philippines how to adjust the bom down

So what are the best suited jobs for a dragline? I’d love to have one but not many around me

3 yards?

Nice old machine, and good camera work,

Charile brown would have pulled up a rock lol😊

First time on u tube I have seen someone who actually knows how to run a Dragline. Took me back a long time.

You are super operator! My name is Jim Tsigganis and i have 3 Ruston Bucyrus. RB-22, RB-30 and RB-30 400SC. 1000 likes from Thessaloniki Greece.

if u ran one u would find out real fast

Never heard of a chainsaw 🤠

good operater

pretty good loading truck

yes there are jobs for these

A number of years ago I came across a contractor loading his Unit 1220 dragline onto a non-detachable gooseneck lowboy trailer. Using the dragline, he hastily built an earthen ramp to load the dragline from the rear. The ramp was apparently too short and steep for the Unit to climb on it's own power so the customer brought over a TD-20 to give the Unit a push from behind. As the Unit was going up, it slide off to the side and bottomed out. You could hear the contractor cuss a blue streak a mile away.

I think the Dragline is my 3rd favorite heavy equipment machine. Watching it do this type of work is more interesting than simply pulling gravel from a pond. Lol .... My question is: what happens to the piles of material? Was it hauled out or bulldozed over?

Smooth operator!

beautiful machine

Nice to see some content from you Mike. Best wishes from Emerald Queensland Australia 🇦🇺

no way tjat is a 60"

I used to run one just like this. The hardest machine to learn, but once you did it was great to operate.

This is expertise

How has it held up ?

Good machine and very good operator., smooth working !

My dad ran a dragline like this for a living brings back fond memories.

Excelente trabajo bro 👍

Beautiful video showing some skills like a boss! ♥️~CC

Good to see you again, Christy ! A very merry Christmas to you and yours ! Kind regards, Steve.

Can you tell how Deep the river is, from experience? From South Africa 🇿🇦

beautiful machine and very good operator

Some awesome videos here! Great work!

My Uncle ran a dragline nearly his whole life. When he was using mats he had a hook made of rod at least an inch or bigger diameter about 12 inches in length with about 4 inches across. He would put it through one of the links on the bucket chain near where the cable attaches. Mats had a loop of cable on each end that he’d hook one end to maneuver them. Never a wasted motion. When he quit at 80 something he was running the same model machine you run. I enjoy watching you work, you are the only real dragline operator I’ve seen on KZbin

Any easy relaxing afternoon you had there Mike. All the best from Australia 🇦🇺

Just a question,, I be nervous running a payloader near that pond bank,

👍🏻

You're excellent operator. Congratulations!!!

I don't know why but the dragline has continue to interest me! It's such a marvelous mechanical invention that even today it would always be relevant in the future despite the unprecedented use of hydraulic excavators. I say this to say that I witnessed first hand of the pros and cons of rope excavator vs hydraulic excavator. Here is an example, the dragline technically might be appearing 'slower' than a hydraulic machine but seasoned dragline operators would be the first to say it gives a better quality of work- polished finish especially if it's a trench/canal that has to be dredged. And so it's no exaggeration that Guyana possesses some of the finest dragline operators in the world! A brutal truth! Another point, the hydraulic machine after digging along an earthen canal would see a big piece of land directly in front of the machine going out towards the water's edge would break up and fall into the water! That never happens with a dragline!👍👍🇬🇾

Very nice crane and operator! Smooth as silk!

Is that your 440

How can you tell when the dragline bucket is resting on the bottom, (before starting to drag the bucket & excavate the sand) since the bucket is not visible under the water? I assume it's because when the bucket hoist line is no longer under a load (after the bucket comes to rest on the bottom), the hoist line will show some visible slack, but I don't know.

Is this Koehring part of the NCK? It's a beauty of a machine. Sounds like a Rolls Royce engine in there.

The crane looks similar to a Bantam C-35. I wonder if Koering bought out Bantam & built cranes that were developed from Bantam's product line?

is that mud good dirt or is it dead from lack of oxygen

Kids doing well. Not even smashing up the cart when he dumps.

very good operator !!

O the old Detroit singing away .

How many yard bucket

If I didn't see this video, I would never think this could be done. Thanks for the video!

I've never heard the term "spanner". Someone said it meant you could narrow the track width for transport? Was that a Koehring name? Good to see the old girls earning their keep!

She looks heavy!

Ésa graga está bien dura 💪👌💪

I've operated various hardrock underground slusher draglines and when I was in early 20's was an mine hoist operator. Draglines with a boom fascinate me. They can excavate, pile, and even load trucks. Amazing
