Bringing up The Running Man. Showing your age there. And reminding me of mine, lol. That was a great movie though. Those things are just mind-boggling. Though I did think the behemoth drag-line bucket machine that was so big they put feet on it and it walked around was the biggest of the bunch. Not that it matters, at this point it's just nit-picking anyway. Can you imagine the size of the power cables running to that thing and trying to deal with them as it wanders around, digging up all that dirt? One wrong move and you would just cease to exist. Just a muffled poof you barely hear over the digger running, Bob the electrician is no more. So gone is he, people even forget he was there the moment it happens. I know some of these things had galleys, and sometimes even sleeping quarters built into them for the crews so they could just stay on site between shifts. Super, super cool. Thanks for getting this out. I know it's not your usual thing, but it's still fantastic to see. And the ex-wife joke in the description did make me blow Mountain Dew all over my keyboard, so thanks for that. I really liked that keyboard too. Fortunately, I had a backup. Lol....

Oohh some new old stuff

[@Maxx1066]

Ty we enjoy all the engineering in these machines.

[@dbeelee8564]

Long ago, I had a chance to watch an iron ore ship being unloaded at what was the largest steel mill in the world, Sparrows Point. These type excavators would work in series to pile up ore while another would dig that pile and conveyor belt it to another pile. The piles would be tidied up with bucket loaders, once the pile became too small for the round excavator head to work. This was a constant dance of unloading a ship, move the piles all over the place as storage until ready to be sent to the furnace by conveyor.

Grunting like Tim the toolman Taylor

[@daveweiss5647]

Looks like something out of a scifi or a japanese cartoon! Amazing the things people are capable of!!!

[@ralphbesemer1935]

Looks like there is plenty of room for the furniture inside that behemoth. All you need then are some curtains!

[@BloodRaven1969]

Thank you very much for this side trip in history, I really enjoyed it. I've spent some time here on YT watching a playlist of these machines when they were working, I may have to look for it ajnd watch it again now.

[@marktheyoungest666]

Very very interesting,thank you Tino

[@ageingviking5587]

Geez ! That is a lot of big tools 🙂. Thanks Tino !

[@jonwatt678]

WOW.. There's some heavy iron to the extreme... I would have loved to get a tour through when they were running!!

[@jackwilbur9419]

Tino, thanks for sharing a nice diversion,from your regular stuff, I definitely wouldn’t mind more like this

[@flashgordon6670]

Ever seen the film Frog Dreaming, with the E.T boy? You must.

[@patchmack4469]

i think its one of the maddest things i have ever seen, what a monster the thing is, some crazy fool actually designed this thing, it does look thrown together, i mean by design it has to have this and that, and then you have to service it, so it needs cat walks and safety built in, there had to be a water supply given that it has fire points, machinery rooms, rest rooms and somewhere to eat etc, its really very like a ship - rooms that have a purpose, machinery to do the jobs and ways to maintain it and pass between them i visited Fort Nelson recently in Portsmouth, they have a howitzer there a British one that was rail mounted, the construction is bonkers, side pieces that are cast steel, i have seen some big castings but nothing on this scale, i shouldn't think there is anywhere left on earth that could either cater or be able to cast such a thing now, its just bonkers - the construction of this German diggers seems to be fairly straight forward, all cut in flat sections and bolted together, but as you say some day it will just fall into the ground, such a waste of steel

[@AdMan-The-LabRat]

25:08 "In case of FIRE or EMERGENCY" I agree with you Tino, "$ee $omething, $ay $omething" Emergency "ALL STOP" buttons, is my hunch also.

[@androidemulator6952]

Something straight out of "Thundebirds" ! ;)

[@cliffordfreeman7829]

That one big damn digger. Wonder what it cost to build that behemoth?

[@Nathanm7977]

I remember a show where they moved it from a area that was mined out .

[@nickkaveney1000]

The only thing I can see that would be worth saving would be the 'Data Building Plaque' up top. But I love these things.Thanks for the close-up views. Handy if you are building the Revell 1/200 model.

[@Ray-sj2iw]

Another great video.

[@ihn]

Great to see how the Schaufelradbagger. Impressive technology. Der vom Genossen Honnecker vorgegeben Fünfjahresplan muss übererfüllt werden. 😂

[@diysecuritygear9594]

I really enjoyed this. I was aware of the excavator before this video but your joy was funny. Needed a little enthusiasm after my AC broke down in 96° heat.

[@Stephenamesbruner]

Any footage of this beast in action ?

[@willymilzbrandt]

Look for "bagger 258 tagebau garzweiler bucket wheel excavator" there is a 5min Clip here on youtube

[@TheYeti308]

I like it a lot .

[@newtoncash]

😮 cool 😮

[@jankro1]

Reminds me of Mortal engines

[@androidemulator6952]

Reminds me of the Saturn V transporter used to move the Apollo rockets to launch pad. Spirit of Werner Von Braun strong here.. ;)

[@jimmyvoss4784]

I think it's Ferropolis Stad aus Eisen, I was there a few years ago, cool place. Too bad you weren't in the technical house, the fuses for all the electricity are about half a meter high😅. but they are still driving the big machines around Germany to dig coal. Thanks for a bit of site seeing..👍

[@AdMan-The-LabRat]

Just a stones throw away (historically speaking)... From: Mike Mulligan and his Steam Shovel* To: Micha Mulliganovich and Team Electric Earth Excavator (Early East German Edition). Thank you Tino! *By Virginia Lee Burton

[@siroyal2040]

Wow

[@Incorruptus1]

Parking this thing in the wrong spot, ends you up with a garbage bag full of tickets... 😫

[@smalcolmbrown]

Thanks :)

[@HannahHudak]

Where's gustav?

[@mett-eagle2942]

The Lausitzring was only half a mile away and you didn't choose the old DTM parade lap music. (v=evBHJuRhYM4) What a crime. 🤨

[@nativoobstinado3525]

You two sounds like Sledge Hammer and Dori Doreau.

[@007tallguy]

Holy crap, that thing is HUUUUGE!! 😮😮😮 You certainly won't be loading that on a float to go dig up a septic tank, lol. And diesel for aftershave lotion..... ummm, nope. 😂😂😂😂 Any idea how many people it normally took to run that machine?

[@gvii]

There's just something to be said about a machine so big that they put a park on top of it after it's been retired. Good Lord... Hahahaha.....

[@androidemulator6952]

The 2nd excavator mounted on dual railway tracks... borrowed from the ww2 Gustav Gun ?? ;)

[@markhuber6231]

Imagine being the grease monkey on that beast!

[@jeffreycarson3183]

You are in Poland.I saw a collection of these in east Germany.

[@limojag]

the Ratta tank was supposed to be about that big

[@RonaldAgterberg]

once upon a time there was a big train gun that also drove two tracks of rails so big even bigger than a house at the siege of sevastopol

[@phillipsmith4814]

How many men did it take to operate the machine? How long would it take for the machine to excavate enough ore to make the steel to build a machine like itself?

[@jeffreycarson3183]

Maybe you also went to the East German one?

[@darryllabine2750]

50 tanks could possibly be built from recycling that dead monstrosity.

[@androidemulator6952]

I wonder when the last day of operation was ??

[@easygroove]

Krankentrage =(folding) Stretcher

[@r.ccustomtruckingsydneyaus4632]

It's Worth money in scrap metal value . Why didn't they take it apart an sell it for scrap. If abandoned. Anyone can do this yes take it to bits now an scrap it. Abandoned means you or I can take it free

[@salvagedb2470]

Its a bit All over the place for a Tino house , but a very interesting Machine to see.
