Your stutter cost me half a million dollars lmao that was great 😂😂

[@FishingSGsWild]

this team is a definite A-team.

[@prestonchambers9490]

Doumitt's shuffle and shrug in the doorway 🤣🤣🤣 "where DID I leave that darn gold?!" Kidding aside, Chris is the man!💯 It would be such a privilege to work alongside him!

[@truthsmiles]

That engine swap in 8 hours… my how far we’ve come from the days of Jack Hoffman buffoonery.

[@Glenn-F-Rice]

It took them days to replace tires in their rock shaker.

[@lillianwetherby5270]

I would always stick with Parker, Doumit(SP), Mitch & Tyler. They are great and have fantastic people working with them.

[@nachocroes8075]

I love big time how parker shnabel crew are working they love what they love working good yob guys respect 👍🏽👏🏾💪🏾👊🏾

[@Reynadelosangeles52]

QUE SIGAN LOS ÉXITOS Y BUENAS TIERRAS MI AMADO JOVEN PARKER..DIOS T BENDIGA Y MIS ORACIONES PARA TI Y EQUIPÓ...❤❤❤

[@royc3569]

Heck, call Bruce Wilson...he FOUND one in an abandoned storage locker !!! 😅

[@perryallan3524]

There is nothing unusual about a blown engine or transmission in heavy construction equipment. If Parker has any sense he will send the blown engine and attached transmission to a rebuild shop so he has a new rebuilt engine and transmission as a spare. I recall the decision to rebuild an articulating bulldozer used to stack and recover coal at a large power plant in the late 1980's where the company spent about $1/2 million on a rebuilt engine, transmission, blade ball joints and rebuilt hydraulic cylinders and all new hoses, with a new modern operator seat. And that was with our own mechanics removing the old and reinstalling the rebuilt or new components. It took about 2 months. In the meantime they rented an articulating bulldozer - whatever that cost. It was cheaper than buying a new articulating bulldozer.

[@dahorn100011]

when you're in the remote Yukon getting something as simple as a drive belt can take weeks. That said, these guys should always have an engine in a state ready to be dropped into a piece of equipment on hand so they can minimise downtime.

[@peterpaulissen2690]

WATCH THIS WITH THE SOUND OFF

[@benjamincapps5258]

I want that job😊

[@Reynadelosangeles52]

Porfa en Español

[@marciaolson4878]

Where did you find that blond mechanic??? ❤❤❤. Great job Mitch and all the guys!!!!❤❤❤

[@TheVandread92]

Swapping engine just took 8 hours. Imagine the less time needed to service it regularly. But of course, we're talking about Parker Schnabel ; he never stop his equipments for maintainence. He'd rather have a day or two of breakdown. He literally pushing all of his machines until something blows up. I always believe if you take care of your machineries, those machines will take care of you.

[@chrishubbard64]

Added up over time? probably more than 8 hours, though of course not all at once, and seriously, this is how all of it works. Every miner operates the same way, run it till it drops, then fix it however you can as fast as possible to get it going again. And yet somehow it remains functional and economical for decades before replacing. I know people like to think they are brilliant in the comment section but do you really think any miner worth his gold hadnt already factored in the relative costs versus benefit of regular gear checkups and such versus waiting till it breaks down? The man runs a multi million dollar a year operation, he knows what he is doing.

[@veiloeperen]

How does Parker have the money to hire Brad Pitt from Troja as a mechanic?

[@Glenn-F-Rice]

Angelina sold half his winery to a oligarch. He needs cash

[@TheRussianFloofCat]

I booked my first cruise on Star of the Seas for next year and just taking a look at the cabin options. Some get MASSIVE. Like the ultimate family townhouse on the Icon class is a literal house that’s bigger than the actual house that I live in now. AND ITS JUST A CABIN!

[@carstenschwertfeger9349]

Whats happening to the old washplant? No he has two slucifers or?

[@seanmclaughlin2693]

this is done everyday by road mechanics in surface mining industry. No big deal. I have done it in the snow.

[@robertwhite3992]

Chris is paid extra not to pocket nuggets.

[@viseshseernam39]

the big question where his massive conveyor built over an excavator body

[@tonycassidy4112]

do they re-instate the ground back to original ? trees and all ?

[@robeddy3722]

Yes. It's called reclamation and almost all local governments require it.

[@tsink6]

I missed closed captions. I have lost my hearing

[@davevanderlinden8061]

broken window and after its not.

[@billbradley2480]

I doubt Parker made that much profit after expenses. It’s very expensive to strip mine for gold these days.

[@frederickpeterson475]

600K in revenue

[@billbradley2480]

@@frederickpeterson475 yep then $500k in salaries, diesel fuel, parts, equipment, permits, taxes etc etc

[@dootdoot1867]

It's a famous saying in gold mining. What's the fastest way to lose a million bucks gold minning? Spending 2 to get it. Parker has spent millions clearing the overburden as this land is deep.

[@mynameisearl598]

could rick get that in a month

[@joshgill8231]

Yeah, good luck changing that engine in 8 hours.

[@briangriffin9886]

This video is bs he has several trucks not one omg

[@lduncombe3]

Don't let the title fool you!! Parker didn't make 600.000 as we would have liked him too and deserved too...he made 100k max if that due to labour and machine part expenses but still atleast he's earning and not losing....well deserved Parker ur grandad would be so happy for you and your decisions as your own man!!!❤👍

[@brokentablespodcast]

Wish discovery would realize we don't care about them breaking and fixing their machines... I just wanna see them wash some rocks...

[@KayDoubleyouPea]

Its all staged

[@robertwhite3992]

There going to make millions off that land for years.Too much drama for nothing.

[@user-lu3ok6jl4j]

He can't count it all and he's messed up counts in the past he must be banking that money

[@jonathanpoitras5083]

Where’s the laundromat? Always clean clothes.

[@peterpaulissen2690]

This commentator sounds really sick..... shame

[@OingBoing-bh5vm]

Your running Volvo Junk !! Hahaha 😂

[@Colt-tf6xf]

Parker seems pretty smart, but Volvo is not cost effective in anything they make. Caterpillar hands down beats all others on parts availability service life resale worldwide. To go off brand that far North with a very short work season is Dakota Fred dumb.

[@dootdoot1867]

Volvo sponsors them and moves an entire crew up there. Otherwise you use cat. Or Komatsu as Canada's oil and gas industry runs off Komatsu with massive service and supply capacity up north.

[@riptwan]

Cat are silly money for everything these days, had a fleet of new D6's and a fleet of 20 yo Komatsu and the Komatsu were 90% cheaper on parts and service plus cheaper to buy new than the cats

[@johnboller7621]

Lost it's Mojo...you nuts! What other show do you get to watch people buy property for 15 million dollars. See all the caous of tryi g to keep things going. She To y starting to loose his mind. I don't think k your watching the show anymore buddy!

[@robertwilson2609]

They forgot to take the stickers off the bills of thier hats.

[@mdziauddin7472]

❤❤🇧🇩🇧🇩🇧🇩

[@Patrick-yh5yd]

Over Blown engine and over blown story.

[@andrewcobra2000]

This was fun to watch 10 years ago. This show is boring, the same thing over and over again.

[@peterpaulissen2690]

The commentator needs an overhaul.... Horrible!!!

[@Golden-dog88]

typical discovery bs cant go 1 ep without some 💩

[@TheAngry-AmericanGuy]

this show has LOST it's mojo....too rehearsed for one......too fake......just not really entertaining, more like selling out : ( lost a fan!

[@johnm725]

Yup. It became formulaic, manufactured and lost all the detail that I loved. The pieces to camera are cringe worthy. American documentaries are often like this which is the opposite of the UK "fly on the wall" style.

[@NubHazeNL]

So stop looking at the show then 🤣

[@thunder21x]

Well…bye

[@JohnGagliano-ye6gz]

I mean he was born into money from grandpa but he did make most of it . But it being a show is on replay

[@EMTB17]

Bro, it’s fucking reality TV. What do you expect?

[@Oblivisci........]

This show is getting so stupidly rehearsed.

[@lukebrumm2339]

Ha ha ur studder cost me half a million! Gota love Parker 👍🫶
