I TRY to Operate a GIANT £1.5m Liebherr Excavator in a Quarry!

[@Middleman-slider]

Good job I don’t have 1.5mil laying around or id be impulse buying one of these for my garden 😂

[@darrenquarterman2611]

If that fits in your garden you probably have 1.5mil

Hi Daniel looks like you enjoyed the R9150 I was part of the Liebherr team that assembled both of the machines when they arrived. They are a beautiful machine both to operate and to work with

[@VAK101]

In memory of the late salesman the owner of the quarry put the initials DB on the machine . Hats off to you sir

[@GenaF]

Ooh an Ashville treat. So glad this footage wasn't lost

[@t5jerry]

ALL large machines carrying out this type of work have a shorter dipper arm, this increases the power as this type of machine is designed for maximum digging power, not reach...

Oh you must be in construction? Or are you just a google scholar?

[@StewysGameplay]

I think this video was already made, unlike Ashville Weekly thats done at the weekend. You can tell the 'standalone' videos don't get half as many views so if he wants to keep paying his video staff he really has to continue Weekly.

I hope the salvage project is safe as well, I know he has been filming that video for a while

[@geraldlrstubbs]

It is a ME dipper. (Mass Excavation in Caterpillar machines) A short dipper gives more power than a long one, and is all that is needed if the digger is on the bench loading below, also gives faster cycle times.

[@uyahang8323]

Cool story bro

[@SuperCidermonkey]

Would love to see you come to Oz and review some of the huge machines they use to mine in Old and WA! Great Vid Dan + team, thank you.

Great to see you in good spirits. It's such a blessing that your clear passion for your industry opens up opportunities to work with all these brands. You are an inspiration.

[@PhantomandtheDrone]

Great review, everyone loves big machines! If I may, a couple of tips for your drone pilot/operator.... no need to fly solo with something so big and so slow ( you came close to losing the drone on one occasion, but that was because you were screen flying). You could have just set the drone up to orbit at a set distance and altitude, that way all you had to do was move the camera or adjust the height, direction and speed as it did the orbit...makes for a much smoother shot, especially when you have the time and space to do it. 👏👍

[@georgehubbert4960]

That quarry is one of our customers for maintenance equipment e.g Strimmers, blowers, disc saws etc. Great people to deal with.

[@kryptoniteee]

You should make a KZbin channel on this. Sounds like something I would watch.

[@Grant.G.Simpson]

i think they solved the second line reach issue recently by moving the piles to another place (clearing the trackside space) so the LH360 can operate from ground level thus reaching the second line (see 13:05)

[@jamie.7214]

Think that is when they were testing if reached but i don’t think it did, saw it in a previous episode

[@kendalneely3241]

Daniel you make our Industry so beautiful to watch! Keep going ! Keep inspiring!

The bucket still looks small until you realise it's the same height as Dan 😨

the way he keeps me so interested with his passion in his voice is outstanding

[@mohammedalli4374]

[@Connor123J]

Big excavator that. I’m working alongside a 390F and a ZX890. They’re bloody big boys never mind another 60 tonnes

[@nenadmokan1359]

As excavator operator,i love it! Thats awesome💪💪

[@inamghafoor]

YEAH Boiii! Are by ears deceiving me Daniel or did you do a voiceover at the end cus the wind was messing up the audio?

[@TheAngryOgreGamer]

Yeah it seems like hes voicing over what he was actually saying

[@gl4989]

Nah I can hear the wind with my headphones

[@qrisemrc]

It's a huge excavator. The pose is huge. I think one mountain has the power to remove it in an instant. It was interesting to watch.👍👍👍

[@KINGSOFCHAOSMLG]

We use Lime Powder at Nissan Sunderland in the new Emissions compliant Paint Shop! A series of 56 rotary lime drums underneath the primer, basecoat and clearcoat booths catch all the overspray via a negative pressure down draft and the dirty lime gets evacuated into big a 70 tonne silo (Mounted on a mezzanine floor, 6-7m up outside. The top of the 70 tonne silo is 17.9m from ground level!) This replaces a traditional Wet Floor system commonly found in spraying plants/booths!

[@paultaylor2055]

Like a big kid! Love it, now I’m looking at the R9800

[@kinggamer1582]

Daniel love the vidz and I would love to work with your company when I’m old enough

[@Church_Of_Kloppism]

1.5mil for that level of efficiency is unreal and achievable for most companies in the sector that's a great price.

[@TheDarrenc1973]

Love the machine and love this video.... can't imagine how cool it would be to operate this every day for a job

[@mathisk5605]

it sounds cool but actually it gets boring pretty quick because when you are loading trucks every day it gets lame because you are doing the same moves over and over

[@MachineInput]

You should try out a r9800 haha, you might have to come to Australia to try them out

[@kevinbester881]

Thank god this footage wasn't lost in the issue mentioned previously

You should speak to the Royal engineers and get a blast of their construction machinery, bridge layers etc, and even blag a drive of them.

[@ColinRichardson]

Oh god, could you imagen if they lost this footage after waiting a year!

[@FaresDjebbar]

When Daniel said he lost footage, I crossed my fingers this wasn't lost! I was waiting for the review !

Daniel is the best advertisement for Liebherr.

[@joe_tipakuah4880]

Hello mate I'm from Malaysia and im an excavator operator.Nice to see you and your video operating such a huge beast machine.I'm working in the quarry too and the largest excavator I'd ever operated is the Doosan DX700LC and the Hyundai R800LC-9 excavator.Now both excavators were under maintenance and I operated the Hyundai R-3000LC-7 breaker excavator (previous version) and the Hyundai R520LC-9s excavator.Big wave to you in UK from your commonwealth brothers and sister in Malaysia! I hope someday any excavation organisation from commonwealth countries will establish one commonwealth excavator operators association and together we exchange ideas on how to work in construction site using excavators!

[@AufBerghofNAM]

Go Retro, We have a Drag-line and Face Shovel at Rocks by Rail. Smaller than this, but good fun. You can also sit in the cab of a Ransome & Rapier W1400 DRagline (Sadly the rest of it was scrapped), but you could drive a scale model of it.

[@Guds777]

I personally like more working on smaller diggers, the larger they get the slower they get, i started many years ago working on a 3 ton Komatsu excavator and it was awesome machine, then i started to go up in 25-30 ton machines, they are alright but slower. Last 10 years i've been working on cranes, they are fun to work on too...

Your operating skills was good thanks for the knowledge

Fantastic…. Been waiting forever for this…..!! Fantastic info!! Love this!! Strange bucket but but ideal for application I guess!!! Would have liked to seen you load a dump truck Dan!!

biggest machine ive ever driven is an L190 volvo shovel. i could easily get 10 tonne of sand in the bucket and load a 4 wheeler in one scoop. we used to get bomb disposal sometimes turn up to destroy old ww2 ordinance that would turn up in ocean dredged material we were grading. it was fun helping them by dropping a few tonnes of sand on top of an old missile and watching them blow it sky high. i miss them days.

I'm so Happy that you didn't LOSE this footage after what went wrong with the Big money hard drive and CPU. Lot of KZbinrs just record everything on there phones and never have a problem. It's just better to keep it simply like all the new trucks that keep braking down while the older trucks just keep working because they are not full of computer Chip's.
