Great video, used to run a PC3000 that was barge mounted, also engineer/mechanic on the same rig off and on for several years. Now retired from the trade I don’t hate the sight of them as much. Great video

[@tomgee2719]

What a complex monster, so many systems and subsystems. I wonder how frequent maintenance is required on the various systems and how long they take. I remember seeing a D-Mag on TV, truly an engineering marvel. Great narration but I could watch an hour or 2 explaining all the various components.

As always like first, best Documentary about mining machines on youtube

[@PAmining]

😃😁 thank you!

[@danielmarshall4587]

Fantastic video thank you.

[@craigsibley8161]

Excellent video once again from the Pennsylvania mining encyclopedia 👍👍👍 Liked the old Demags...

[@PAmining]

Haha thank you!

[@boom-rl7me]

Another awesome documentary Justin! Is there anyway we can get a video about mine site tour? Something that tells us the method of operations. There has to be a lot more to it than just start digging here... Extremely curious how they come up with a mining plan.

[@PAmining]

Absolutely! I am trying to figure out how to do a video on that topic that will be maintain peoples attention

[@bigmackstruckstop9213]

Wooow that's a massive machine and kool at that catch ya on the next one

[@lancecluster]

Wow, you always do a great job on these and know a ton of information, but you out did yourself on this one. Nice machine, great tour of the machine. Thanks.

[@PAmining]

Well thank you! 😃 Glad you learned a lot from it!

[@scottlee9428]

Fantastic video! What an awesome machine!! This may very well be my favorite video to date.

[@PAmining]

😃 awesome 😎

Another super interesting video Justin 👏

[@PAmining]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@l0jack]

Thanks for doing the research on this beast!

[@PAmining]

Your welcome!

[@Ratkill9000]

I'm guessing one of the mechanics labeled each circuit to help with diagnostics. Good thinking on them for that.

[@shanegriffin2215]

Great as always! I actually built the Leibherr version of this pit shovel. It is from the Lego technic line. Over 4000 pieces. It took me six months to build and is fully functional from the technic app. Keep up the awesome work, Justin!

[@PAmining]

Very cool! I've seen those Lego models before with remote control. Glad you enjoyed it!

[@The_blindpizzaguy1300]

Another great monster excavator!

[@dragonbutt]

That built in minifridge is pretty sweet

[@billybobs841]

God wat a machine good job maken video

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it 😁

[@The_blindpizzaguy1300]

I have a really cool idea for a video mining monsters, do all the largest machines that you’ve done a documentary on in action

[@PAmining]

Absolutely, I will have a a video of this machine up in the future!

[@brianw8963]

It’s not a Lima 2400, but great stuff all the same! I got to spend a little time yesterday with the owner/ operator of the last 2400 in operation here in NW Pa. It will be retired this coming week. It was both a happy and sad experience for Me.

[@PAmining]

Those were good machines in the day. I still prefer the Manitowoc over the Lima though as far as ergonomics and comfort are concerned.

@@PAmining They made them for girls . I heard my Grandfather tell My 4600 operator uncle that a long time ago. Thought it was funny!

[@lewiemcneely9143]

UN-real! I ran an older 3K komatsu hoe but it was NOTHING like this and remember Rexroth hydraulics on mainly concrete mixers. FINE job, Pal and Thanks and God Bless!

Thanks mate same to you!

Crazy specs for hydraulic fluid - moving over 1000 gallons per minute!

[@PAmining]

When you think of the pressure that oils under to lift the attachment, that's impressive

[@Therealjasontraceyofficial]

Hey that cab has the same joysticks that I have for fs22

[@constructionwatcher5381]

Very interesting. Thanks. In the cab, I didn't hear you mention how the swing is controlled. Is that with the joysticks?

[@PAmining]

Yes swing is controlled off the right joystick

[@constructionwatcher5381]

@@PAmining Thanks.

[@myselfremade]

Great machine. I wonder where it comes apart to ship it to the jobsite

[@EFCasual]

The boom and stick would be removed and the house could be removed from the undercarriage. Offroad moving would be done in one piece with some heavy equipment if at all possible.

[@myselfremade]

@@EFCasual the house is way too wide to go down the road still, does it split in half?

[@motominded5275]

what powers the clamshell open and closed?

[@catzzzz1450]

hydraulics

[@billybobs841]

How many hours will it run on a tank of fuel???

[@PAmining]

The consumption rate is around 55-60 gallon per hour

[@jeremynguyen2346]

How loud is this machine when it’s in use

[@PAmining]

It certainly isn't deafening, unless your standing in the engine room lol.

[@jeremynguyen2346]

@@PAmining how expensive is the machine

[@TJV83]

White Stallion had one of these that came up from Alabama, not sure if the new company Responsible Energy still has it or not. Here’s a Brandeis video with my old boss Joe and the shovel kzbin.info/www/bejne/qGa9ZpaLpsiAobM
