koehring 405 pond digging and loading

[@aaronwilcox6417]

I've operated various hardrock underground slusher draglines and when I was in early 20's was an mine hoist operator. Draglines with a boom fascinate me. They can excavate, pile, and even load trucks. Amazing

Beautiful - not an ounce of wasted effort !

[@andrek5008]

Good machine and very good operator., smooth working !

[@agviator]

Neat to see there's still a place and a job in the world only a drag line excels at.

Is this Koehring part of the NCK? It's a beauty of a machine. Sounds like a Rolls Royce engine in there.

NCK was part of Koehring. It has a 4-71 Detroit in it.

[@zachary3777]

Is it still viable to use these vs modern excavators as a business?

[@cotterdraglineservicesinc.9167]

Absolutely! Been going strong for 25+ years!
