Dredging Out Our Pond

[@grasub1]

Lovely 22 but I would throw on the Dragline bucket and fire that muck into the next field. Great clamshell worth though, I used to load trucks with sand by dragline bucket and miss my 22. Hoping to buy one soon to play with. Great machine and not on Air - mechanical is best. Well done you, thanks for the great content and Mat moving.

You have to be careful as the holding line is too slack... the secret it to keep the closing rope and holding rope the same otherwise the slack holding rope could get damaged . Hard machine to operate. Nice video . Would love a go on that. Practice makes perfect on the clutch cable machines.

Was that dump truck a western star or White? Cool

[@joebarbjb6668]

Stop hoisting by your closing line. That’s why the buckets dropping each time you go to dump.

No matter how they design and redesign hydraulic cranes, there are jobs that a clamshell on a lattice boom crawler will just do a better job!!

[@bagermaster-club]

The lake needs to be regularly cleaned from bottom sediments. This can be done using a dirty water pump with a suction nozzle Bagermaster

Old school... Not a bad thing.

[@maximumhardcore4362]

Thanks for the video, love this old stuff. Will those clamshell buckets dig into hard pack gravel too or basically just soft stuff?

Для очистки водоёма этот старый экскаватор то что доктор прописал!To clean the water, this old excavator is what the doctor prescribed! Лайк из России!

Can you do some walk around videos of the Northwest 25’s that you just have out there?

[@ZagrayFarmMuseum]

I'll try to. We have a pull shovel with a 3-71, dragline with a caterpillar, another pullshovel with a (buda??) gas, a crane with a 4 cylinder Murphy, and eventually will have another crane with a 3-71.

Unit, if Connor doesn't I can do one this weekend.

[@acprimus631C]

@@UnitCrane514 hey! I will in a minute. Been busy so haven't actually had a chance to get a video of the 25s. I will in the next couple weeks!

[@mog5858]

been a while since that was cleaned out ? or water? keep up the good work.

[@acprimus631C]

I don't believe this pond's been cleaned out in decades, if it ever was!

[@ZagrayFarmMuseum]

if at all it's been a long time. Originally it was a borrow pit that the Zagrays sold gravel out of.

[@UnitCrane514]

Thats a nice 22b is that a recent addition?

[@ZagrayFarmMuseum]

Sort of, it belongs to Joe. He uses it to dredge ponds so it won't stay around here forever.

[@allischalmerswd]

Very proficent operator.

[@mikeyoungblood1706]

My ass, He can't keep the holding line and closing together and He's running at about half throttle.

[@mattwoody1089]

KZbin income money you don't pay income-tax taxes on ?

[@buschul]

A modern hydraulic excavator would do a better job of that.

[@romannessonov]

Мне тоже нужен такой грейфер 👍✌️
