Liebherr R974 Documentary

[@Oliver66FarmBoy]

Boy, its been to long since I got my dose of Mine Iron. Been watching some of your older stuff to get me through. lol Im impressed for the size of that machine how much room there is inside the house. Looks like a mechanics dream in there. Also surprised for a German Machine they were running a Cummins. Figured for sure it would be Deutz or M.A.N powered. Hope everything is still going in your neck of the woods. Stay safe man.

I know the engine house was nice and spacious! The older big Liebherrs opted for Cummins power before many switched to Liebherr engines. Thanks!

[@airbats801]

[@PAmining]

Thx for that review. It has a very long boom n' stick and a very strange bucket. What did they done there? In that configuration the 974 looks more like an aqua digger.

[@theinterestbox8608]

nice to see another Liebherr on channel especially older one

[@PAmining]

Thanks glad you enjoyed it!

[@S70AMG]

I really like them in front shovel config

[@MrMan5014]

I’ve never ran a Liebherr before but I have heard mixed reviews about them…I would love to stack it up against a 245 cat or better yet a 375..I ran lots of 375 Cats and they were extremely good machines!!..

[@PAmining]

Haha well thank you! I've done so mbybif these videos that it's all out of habit anymore

[@wesleywright6484]

Thanks! Very interesting! I'm assuming the machines you've shown us are all out of use ! As I find out about these machines! What about the working ones? Would love to see them at work!

[@CarlHargreavesRustyRelicsUK]

[@JHaggis]

It has seen better days. Very christal view when not windows!

[@scotttaylor8498]

I'm a bricklayer and I find myself on all kinds of construction sites commercial residential doesn't matter either or every once in a while you come across properties that have junk on them but I will say this leihber komatsu caterpillar they are all very reliable tough strong going to get the job done you know you're going to be able to turn that key that things going to start it's going to do what it's supposed to do more than likely and if it's not it's because it's been so neglected and it's still wanted to start every day even though you kept neglected it you finally got to the point where just couldn't do it no more and it took years of you have beaten it and just abusing it for it to finally fail so you really have to abuse those machines and put them through the roughness to get them to fail you just take care of them and do what they're supposed to do they run and they will not stop running

[@tonyozimek2116]

Go you know the history of that machine? Where was it purchased.

[@hectortorres352]

i like buy one. Any available

[@aaronjarvenpa1743]

That machine looks like it’s been sitting for more than a few years .

[@KarelON]

*Nice* 👍👍👍

[@scruffy6151]

👍👍

[@lobostang1]

Notice the 4x4 in front of the track to stop motion in case it rolls.

[@mikeolcott7557]

I've booked alot of hours on this machine in duluth, mn.

[@schneiderexc3557]

Looks like a sand bucket on this machine, must of originally came from Minnesota?

[@scottmellum750]

an old barbarossa machine? pretty sure ive run this machine before- she dug sewer /water most of her life

[@schneiderexc3557]

@@scottmellum750 I know a guy that ran this hoe also, I’m, not sure how many they had? I’ve seen a picture of him with a 974 from Barbarossa

[@complexgrafix]

Start her up

[@williammain3247]

Why would anyone order narrow track shoes? I guess it is cheaper, but do narrow track shoes afford any ability over wide shoes on hard ground? Over the life of the machine it just might work in softer ground.

[@jamielacourse7578]

Nice old gal.

[@chejohnny3706]

catwalks sure r narrow. must b pain in weather or repairs

[@donmotes5853]

Ran one for years it had nice wide catwalks.

[@rynobub]

They sure didn't make it easy to get into cab.

[@PAmining]

Actually that machine was very easy unlike some designs I've seen. The engine compartment impressed me the most with the amount of space.
