I was at Mt Keith as a fitter with BHP when the 2 EX8000's got parked up. I always wondered where they ended up. There was alot of equipment sent to the graveyard as a result of the GFC in 2008/09, more than alot of mine sites actually have working and unfortunately this machine and its newer brother EX1435 were included. I got alot of experience when I was at Mt Keith, But I'll never miss the food!!

[@HighTQCummins]

that is truly an amazing machine, in the video the scale of it is HUGE, I can't imagine what it must be like to stand next to it, or better yet be at the controls

[@smorkmo]

From the perspective of a haul truck operator, my perspective, this is the easiest shovel to get a load from. Backing under it is simple. As big as it is, when you're around it everyday you realize that it's rather small compared to the others

[@periesicsd]

Just look at that cabin!! That's an office on its own! LOL, many people life smaller then that! Great place to chill out after work, put TV, mini bar and some snacks inn there! Hell, i would rent that! Or buy that, just for that cab! lol

[@gordonmccoy4537]

Very impressive.. Thanks, Gordon

[@komatsuguru]

What are the two things hanging off the cylinders? Some kind of indicator but I'm not sure what.

[@VAHOSS]

I love HITACHI excavators! They are the best on the market in my oppinion! That big bucket almost looks like prehistoric!

[@mchughcb]

The EX8000 in backhoe double benching and loading the EH5000-3 is extremely productive. Talk to the guys at Stanwell and see if you can get some footage. Hopefully with a "full uninterupped truck loading cycle". For educational purposes only :)

[@sr230399]

l dont understand why did this video got 2 "dislikes".... Perhaps the dudes didnt understand english... This video is awesome! And its content is what the title says...

[@komatsuguru]

Excellent video!

[@RcTrucksandMachines]

Big machine y Very Good video!

[@cyanidechrist]

Great video.

[@alco424]

@eh3500acII Actually, they're for positioning of the truck, not bucket. They show the truck drivers where to spot themselves under the bucket.

[@swn02]

good video with great sound most dont have this level of sound

[@catleefs]

Nice video!!! fantastic machine, congratulationss.

[@jamesiec61]

Impressive machine. Well presented, thanks.

[@sitatan]

very cool!!

[@WerewolfAu]

@DreamsMemories Hi, as far as I know two Cummins 16-cylinder engines, 1940 HP each.

[@WerewolfAu]

@komatsuguru They're simple visual aids for best bucket positioning and loading the truck with a minimum of spillage.

[@juanros7546]

qu'elle plaisir sa doit être de pouvoir conduire une machine comme ça

[@YK96TV]

It is wonderful.

[@vorpal72]

Oh this is so rad!

[@Kayvoyager]

Old JVC camera have better quality than many new cameras. Nice video, impressive machine and nice video and audio quality.

[@kouhai19]

woww!! look like big powerful monster.

[@sludge277]

Is this the one that got trashed three months later or the other one they had

[@labyonnette]

Now for some sensible words. What capacity bucket is this please ?

[@TJV83]

Do the trucks back up lined up with his tracks or those two nunchucks under the bucket?

[@bmrt1000]

Do you know which mine? Burton maybe?

[@Kidzeegames]

largest collection of videos you have

[@Sodiumreactor]

hard working man right there.

[@WerewolfAu]

Jason, I think that's the one...

[@jact6608]

mean as. love to have a play on that beast. shes a little bigger than the 60 tonners i opperate. hey and what camera are you using? cheers...

[@jamesiec61]

Great video. Impressive machine.

[@Snowbatman99]

It keeps the rods up out of the rocks so they dont get damaged and leak.

[@whoeverwhoever400]

so where can i buy that mobile fortress?

[@triden55]

Has the mine upgraded to the 797's yet? I see they're running the 793's

[@dansneyd4646]

how many litres a minute is the fuel pump (s) ?

[@dansneyd4646]

sorry I meant to say hydraulic, not fuel

[@sludge277]

is this the one they trashed after 2 months. I remember seeing the photos. that machine is now in a coal mine in QLD

[@WerewolfAu]

@sludge277 Yep, that's the one! I remember that powerpoint presentation with photos too!

[@KKuurus]

Next time there's a T-rex loose I want one of these.

[@SvyatE30]

awesome!

[@Gavin84w]

You can tell that is in the machines very, very early part of getting running, still orange paint on the bottom of the bucket so hence not getting full buckets as the operators come to grips with the new machine. Any idea where over east the MT K 8000,s are headed?

[@WerewolfAu]

Just a fleet number

[@MotoScootMech]

This machine might not look as good to the Italian car fanatic, but it costs at least ten times the most expensive lambo on the market ;D

[@1Alasdairm]

His friends all have Ferrari's and supercars, they ask him what he drives, he shows them. They then think, im not going to mess with him.

[@NinthDensity]

I'm surprised it doesn't have living quarters.

[@generationll]

Simply an amazing machine.Are there no 797s in this mine.

[@MrSigDan]

think about how much money that quarry or mine makes to buy an run those round the clock. i bet you could spend $200/day just in grease. if it wasn't for big successful companies we would never have awesome machines like this one. Rock on.

[@gasserstefan3966]

Very impressive.

[@zaryadnik]

@eh3500acII how that guidelines correctly called? where can read about the correct installation it?

[@pennacchioli]

che mezzo magnifico

[@carbiify]

Three scoops could clear my garden!

[@HeavyDemir]

Oh I so wished he turn to the machine as he left and pull out the alarm remote and indicator lights blinked and it went peep peep woop hehehehe

[@miningshovel]

Nice video, I adore the sound of this machine. If you have more old clips like this, keep 'em coming! ;)

[@edinacunacruz6951]

buen video esa es mi meta tambien soy operador de excavadora

[@xray606]

Awesome

[@jamesiec61]

Hitachi sure can build impressive face shovels.

[@WerewolfAu]

@alco424 Thanks, mate!

[@KhalilIbrahimAlAmleh]

this is a bottom dump bucket right ?

[@jg875102]

how do you grease that?

[@j0elmac10]

this company made my tv?

[@Peichen01]

@eh3500acII Why were they moved to another mine? Unsuitable for the job?

[@XavierX212]

it is 2 am and i spend 2 hours watching how industrial vehicles doing their job... :|

[@S0lidState]

+XavierX212 -- Jim Rockford gets tired of his Trans Am ?

[@ATOM09]

You're not alone. I love watching as well.

[@cMaXeJIJIo]

Got here by looking for a demo on a plunge router, namely Hitachi M8SA2 xD

[@2005Danimal]

Watched this video 4 days ago, then was in traffic today and was pondering the joy of haveing one of those mega dump trucks!

[@johnburke9735]

That has to be a pain to haul to another mine!

[@BIGGIEDEVIL]

bet its like 1 gallon a second on that monster!

[@henriquenoronha3180]

very good

[@1macaron]

i wish days at work went that quick

[@chaview]

You had to be Welltrained to used it ! X8000 ex8000 and xlanger !

[@SvyatE30]

monster!!!!!

[@S0lidState]

I think it could convince a T-Rex to leave the premises.

[@terrencechilufya5649]

kindly assist me with the operating manual

[@WerewolfAu]

Accidents do happen ...

[@MrBennie402]

Its easier to reseal a leaky boom cylinder by removing the lower mounting pin and removing the rod only.

[@HypoXXL]

Impressive!

[@Mcmerc01]

Hitachi make tvs........and this thing. I can't get over that

[@AndrevossDe]

top machine...

[@banjobolt1]

that is just savage

[@simmonsalinas]

ahh~ Hitachi with Caterpillar...classic...

[@kc8ntp]

I thought that the EX5500 was big! This is a huge hydraulic shovel!

[@beatermatt]

We have some hitachi 8000's in ft mcmurray canada. They are very impressive machines. I remember the first time i saw one, insane.

[@R1AUSSIERYDR]

The machine was new when you filmed this right? Did you guys have another one like this? I ask because I noticed the training cones on the bucket cylinders. Nice machine btw, I work on EX5500's and EX 3600's but they are set as hoes.

[@mrbluenun]

Hi eh3500acll, Great video! I like it because there is not many of the EX8000's which show anyone near them so you get no idea of scale ! And it is pretty bug! Thank you. Take care, mrbluenun

[@MrRuffnready5]

love to operate that!

[@Thepianobird]

I could landscape my yard in about 2 seconds.

[@Crazyban]

I started of with Lamborghinis and somehow got here?? :)

[@naufalabiyyu5117]

[@vijaybhogal456]

[@WerewolfAu]

Face Shovel

[@periesicsd]

good, for your old jvc camera! Better than the most HD vids out here! Pretty fly machine! Sweeeet... But what are those "ropes" at the bucket? Is that for safety, or to see if the bucket over the truck? Thanks! Also for the vid!

[@ttravie3]

@eh3500acII cummins move that thing?

[@biggussd5473]

No one has talked about the engine, except to ask what engine it has? well I think it is elect.

[@WerewolfAu]

According to Hitachi's technical specifications: Two Cummins QSK60C water-cooled, 16 cylinder, turbocharged and after cooled, direct-injection chamber-type diesel engines. Net power @ 1,800 rpm - 1,940 hp (1 450 kW) x 2. Gross power @ 1,800 rpm (SAE J1995) - 1,940 hp (1 450 kW) x 2. Maximum torque @ 1,500 rpm - 6,156 lbf-ft. (8 346 N-m) (853 kgf-m) x 2.

How much does a machine like this cost? A few million Dollars or a lot more?

[@tinman9605]

that hitachi look lkke decepticon from transformers 2 demolisher

[@satricon]

Why did they trash it?!!!?

[@Polywog84]

@catsarethedevil Have you ever been near a machine like that? I work whit machinery like that...just smaller every day and its easy to see that its not fake.

[@atego1528]

la classe

[@torchboy88]

still amazing all that big iron and power still relying on hydraulic hose lol

[@KylexSheppard]

Hate to clean tar sand from those tracks with a hilti gun lol
