Why This Channel Exists: The Story Of Mining Shorts

This is how this channel, dedicated to mining equipment and mining operations, started back in December 2022.
This is the story of a young passionate French guy who fell in love, decades ago, with the Liebherr 996 mining excavator. Rest is history!

Hey Nick, I really enjoy your content. It’s absolutely amazing, always interesting. Your story is very cool, I like how you got back to heavy equipment through this channel. My story started after school, I didn’t know what to do, but I knew I enjoy garden work so I applied for a Gardening/Landscaping apprenticeship. In my second year I had my first chance to operate an excavator, it was a 1 ton machine without cab. There I found a new passion. I quit playing video games and only played an excavator simulator with 2 Logitech joysticks because I barely had the chance to operate on real machines. 5 years later I sit in an Liebherr 980sme loading 775Gs. My goal is to work in an Australian mine with a 9800.

Woah, this was quite emotional to me. Childhood dreams, dreams being put aside and rediscovered during tough times. I liked farming machines when I was a kid and are generally fascinated by large machines so I’m happy I got your channel recommended. Do you still live in France btw?

An excellent channel and excellent content good luck for you and your hobby, mining monsters are not something you see on the street when a 4-axle dump truck rushes past us, even it seems big compared to ordinary cars, and this is so, however, against the background of such monsters as R996 or rope shovels like 4100XPC this truck is a toy, it’s hard to describe the emotions that the sight of miningmonsters evokes. Only dipper of P&H4100 XPC weight more than 85 metric tons, heavier than any main battle tank.
