Euclid-Hitachi EH1700-3 Documentary

[@56pw]

We have two of these EH1700-3s of the same year. I was told that ones we have were given up by rudd to our dealer in Ontario (wajax) & rudd got two later ones built. These trucks are built at the hitachi (old euclid) plant in Guelph, Ontario, CANADA. Ours have the single speed reverse & they are slow in rev compared to a 777. They need the two speeds in rev. I find the engines noisy from the turbos & the allison shifts are brutal.They do ride nice & have great power though. Thanks PA mining

Lol, I've never been complimented on my voice before but thank you! Good it isn't annoying

[@VAHOSS]

This truck is actually 95.2 metric tons, or 104.9 standard/American ton. I love your channel by the way. I worked on Euclid and Hitachi for years and years.

@PAmining Two weeks is a long time in the world of KZbin, we're melting away here!

[@PAmining]

@56pw Welcome; thanks for the input!

[@robby844]

@PAmining my uncle worked as a mechanic for a mine in washington and they said the exact opposite. the cummins were always in the shop with something wrong.

[@carltonslaine7756]

Big massive thankfully for this and the time to explain about the truck really like this video many thanks keep it up

[@bankrun04]

Great video as always... what size loader would be able to load them?

[@jix177]

Good vid. Nice machines - and I always like to see lots of work lights on a machine. There's even one in the engine compartment as well as facing back over the two tanks.

[@markstengel7680]

The Orange ole beast. I love it. Looks beefy🚜👍

[@alialmahanawi5280]

Very wonderful info and I really appreciated your time and efforts thanks .

[@PAmining]

@44selfdestruct No probs. The tires on these trucks on Bridgestone, by the way.

[@NickHey]

I was wondering at first if they had an AC drive system but no :) Awesome video dood!!

[@canvids1]

Great Justin I didn't know anything about these trucks hope you fixed the lid on that batt box as some one may get up set when they do their circle cheak LOL

[@PAmining]

@44selfdestruct According to Hitachi the standard tires are 27.00 R49's for front and rear but like with any truck, optional brands and tread designs are always available

[@farmboy26ful]

Another great vid Justin, what is the diffrence between a detroit 2000 series and a lets say... 71 serise?

[@kkjelt]

Great video. Thanks!!

[@clovakid]

Okay that shock thing is cool.

[@tmeyer729]

I drive the one with 2 reverse speeds. I use the slower reverse for backing up to get loaded and I use the faster reverse for backing up to the hopper which is about 150ft. I definitely like having the faster reverse it saves a lot of time when you have to back up a long distance. Ours has a Detroit series 60 in it, it's not as fast as a cat 769, the acceleration is slow but it probably saves the engine from wear. All in all it's a good truck but the mirrors don't have the best placement but you get used to it.

[@FordGuy61]

Nice video! Very informative. I see you guys are having a mild winter too, I'm over in Cleveland.

[@localcrew]

Nice vid. I wonder about that extra reverse gear. Maybe it's one of those things that you think is stupid until you use it and then you wonder how you did without it up until now.

[@markm1964]

i loaded one these once with 200 hoe .i loaded for 15 or 20 mins it was less than half loaded thanks PA

[@PAmining]

That's cool thanks!

[@PAmining]

@FordGuy61 Thanks. Yep, very wet this year

[@DWISUPARAN]

Great job to make this great video !!

[@Blackout7955]

@PAmining I know its in Pennsylvania but in what city? Im in Erie

[@kresimirmilisa5560]

justin please do a cat 797 or 793 haul truck documentary.

[@PAmining]

@bankrun04 Komatsu 800 and Cat 992(G/K) series is a perfect match for these trucks.

[@Blackout7955]

Where do you mine at and what for? I live in erie up on the lake shore

[@BrewPub]

Wonder what the plus/minus is of the Cummins vs. the DD/MTU ?

[@MW-C-Music-Copyright-Free]

What a Past, Very Good !! ;)

[@carterbarsoom374]

Great machines..

[@PAmining]

@Blackout7955 I'm sorry but I don't disclose any surface mine locations nor the company info.

[@PAmining]

@markieman3000 Lol, Its only been two weeks; remember I'm about quality, not quantity!

[@PAmining]

@farmboy26ful Well for one thing it's cleaner running and much newer than the 71 series. Maybe someone who knows the engines better will chime in. I can tell you that a lot of mine operators I talk to don't like the reliability of the Detroit’s in the Hitachi's. One owner I talked to actually called Hitachi in to swap the Detroit’s out for the Cummins in a fleet of EH1100s after only a few thousand hours!

[@eaglewi]

PAmining Aww

[@kresimirmilisa5560]

please justin do a documentary about cat 797 haul truck please greetings from europe from croatia.

[@PAmining]

Haha, I would love to someday. Thanks! Greetings from PA

[@cntslesfabrication]

Was there a price difference between the 2 different engines?

[@PAmining]

Of course, I'm sure the Cummins was more too

[@56pw]

@farmboy26ful These new detroit 2000 series are the MTU design (mtu is a german co.) which has Nothing in common with the older 71 series detroits . These engines are 16 cyls & 4 stroke were as the older scream'n detroits were of 2 stroke design & had various cyl,s

[@Anonymous..VQ3.5Lg35]

Oh helium is in the cylinder good to know

[@PAmining]

@snooptravytrav Thanks

[@PAmining]

@44selfdestruct No I don't think I did

[@PAmining]
