The caved in doors line up perfectly with the corner of the dump truck's bed.

that's what I was thinking. he must have swung into one?

Gotta be happy when a PA mining vid pops up ! Another great one Justin .

[@PAmining]

Haha that's what I like to hear! Thanks !😁

[@scottunderwood3481]

Excellent video. Nice to see these old warriors still earning a crust.👌

[@PAmining]

They are reliable machines! Glad you enjoyed it! :)

The panel gremlins have found there way into that luver….man that had to been a lick

Nice to see the 1800 still working away 👍👍👍 Last saw one in 1997 at House of water opencast here in Ayrshire Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Interesting format compared to your other videos I was hoping to learn more about the shovel But I did learn how that type of bucket works i haven't seen that before Cool thanks

[@Fattjacc60]

More for scooping than digging

[@404nitro]

Very cool to watch up close like this. Thank you.

[@PAmining]

Glad you enjoyed it! 😃

[@bigredc222]

Thank You.

Good operator and I like his no sleeves shirt. The local boulder hole has a 1200 and runs between 12 and 1400 tons per hour, usually with a 40 and a 60 ton truck. Good videoing, Pal and God Bless Yall!

[@ConstructionMachineryChannel]

Beast of a machine right there.

[@johnnymurff4137]

Awesome video Awesome nice close ups keep up the good work

[@EdStrong929]

Impressive video of an impressive machine. She may look slow, but she is moving a lot of material. Great footage

[@PAmining]

Thank you very much; glad you enjoyed it!

[@Pozi_Drive]

Impressive, as ever. Could you make a series that shows all the major steps? Planning what will be required for the job. Drilling the holes, placing the explosives, loading the trucks. The trajectory of travel and then the dumping. Just an idea of mine. You will know how to fill it in.

[@PAmining]

Absolutely! It may take some time, but I'll work on it 😉 Thanks

[@Pozi_Drive]

@@PAmining Take your time, don't show company secrets. You could start at the end (dump site? maintenance group? on site repairs?) and then work 'upstream'.

[@daleolson3506]

And tracking backwards is compounding track wear.

[@PAmining]

I've never heard of something so ridiculous in my life lol. Excavators are designed to tram forward or reverse.

[@daleolson3506]

@@PAmining do some investigating and you will find out that this is a real thing.

[@lachaineal]

It make a difference on smaller exc. Those track/pad dont have a "direction"

[@roberthumberston8803]

good evening time to enjoy

[@MrMan5014]

That 1800 works good!!..likely has tens of thousands of hours on it and she works like a charm!!

[@PAmining]

Yeah these old 1800s are tough machines for sure. Thanks!

[@imdavid28]

Awesome machines!

[@richmottershaw9720]

[@jjMcCartan9686]

Come on guys get that panel hammered back out sometime 😂😂

[@lawerencestimpson2280]

Nice looking operation.How well do the Hitachi hold up?

[@johnnymurff4137]

Wishing it was 2 hours lol long

[@PAmining]
