Overshot loader

[@WatchWesWork]

I guess Rube Goldberg hated shoveling.

[@retr0bits545]

Oh hey, nice seeing you here!

[@texasjetman]

Awesome to see Wes /WWW watching your channel. This is definitely a rare machine. Thanks for sharing Frank

[@walterlamb4756]

How well I remember a machine like this. I was about 8/9 years old when my dad ran one of these in the late 40’s. He was using it to load a dump truck, and road in his lap. Haven’t seen one in years. GREAT VIDEO

[@73DiamondReo]

Pretty cool. That’s exactly what they were designed to do

[@BrokenWrenches]

What the hell !!! Thats the craziest thing ive seen this week on KZbin!!! My back and neck would NOT like that looking behind me all day !!!

[@wornoutwrench8128]

Well, one way to cut down on the cycle time. Interesting concept

[@73DiamondReo]

Got that right

[@mariebennett5739]

We had a machine here in New Zealand built by CWF Hamilton in Christchurch NZ they were built for International Harvester crawlers TD6s and TD 9s and called a loader /dozer a bucket or a blade could be fitted they were front mounted and loaded over the rear of the machine they were highly efficient machines and large numbers were built I was looking at one last Saturday actually Hamilton's were a very large engineering company and built all the components in house all the hydraulic components pumps hydraulic rams spool valves etc very well built reliable units

[@HODGEPODGEDODGEGARAGE]

That thing is sooo odd Frank! 😂 The right operator could still get quite a bit done with one though. Thanks for sharing 🔧🔩

[@73DiamondReo]

You bet

[@SkinnyBiker]

I have never seen a contraption like that. Must have been for a specific use.

[@73DiamondReo]

Loading trucks. No turning just forward and back

[@tractorsandmachines]

First time I've seen one that backs into a pile of dirt. Very cool!

[@73DiamondReo]

thought everyone might enjoy it

[@Porty1119]

Well that's certainly a thing that exists. Overshot loaders are still around in underground mining but the operator stands along the side of those machines.

[@73DiamondReo]

yeah good point

[@neilmcintosh1200]

I wonder why that never really caught on......

[@TJAkin]

Rediculousness. My neck hurts just watching. Never seen this type. Thanks for the laugh.

[@SteamCrane]

There is supposed to be a sort of spout at the top of the bucket, which carries the material past the front of the roof and into a truck. There are a few pix on google images. This may or may not be the one that was at Brownsville in 2017, which was also missing the spout. It's a tough life without it.

[@73DiamondReo]

Bob probably had it there too.

[@mischef18]

Sure is one interesting bit of earthmoving equipment bro, thanks for posting. Safe travels .

[@lewiemcneely9143]

I'd kill a weeks burying with thing, including myself! Blessings, Frank

[@Ezrider359]

That is certainly a oddity. Or atleast I have never seen one. Pretty cool thanks for sharing

[@73DiamondReo]

Thanks for watching!

[@dianacasettiphotographyvideo]

Wow, that’s a cool machine!

[@toolreviewsandrestorations]

That machine is so cool!

[@davidkeys1879]

That’s crazy!!😂😂❤

[@waltergorzkowski7246]

Really cool Frank. I love it cuz it's rare and odd but I couldn't run it all day. LOL. I'd hate to try to load RipRap with that. LOL. It's really cool though Frank

[@73DiamondReo]

Probably a little louder than rain on a tin roof

[@hurricanedaniel]

First one if seen that has to drive in backwards. There a funky setup

[@73DiamondReo]

Sure is

[@Jdigger4130]

Makes a guy wonder why this didn't stay around?! :)... Nothing says safe n sane like arcing a 1/3-1/2 yard of rubble over yer head! Sure dont make m like they used ta! Cool that there is a running example!

[@73DiamondReo]

its definitely a cool one

[@rodgercottrill3342]

Cool

[@HistoricMachines]

I could only imagine what your neck would feel like after a day of operating this machine, I know how my neck feels using a 3-point blade on a tractor for a few hours. It looks like it throws the dirt during the dumping process so as to hit the center of a truck it's loading.

[@oldamericaniron5767]

Cool, where was it you saw this?

[@73DiamondReo]

Small show in western pa

[@QTownTruckspotting]

That’s bizarre

[@QTownTruckspotting]

Super cool though
