- This machine, to the best of my knowledge, is the last Marion 184M left in the world. Marion made a total of 14 of these behemoths, which weigh in at roughly 750,000 lbs. This machine was the direct replacement for the 183M.
Soft spot for Marion’s , two 111M’s on face shovel in the mine I worked in, in the U.K. when I left school , Great operator 👌🏻😎
Awesome crawler dragline !!! It’s great to see a big Marion machine still working. When we look at the history of large size earthmovers in the US , Bucyrus Erie and Marion were the top two companies. And the competition between them was fierce. I’m talking about way back in the age of the stripping shovels. Of course Caterpillar was the largest manufacturer of heavy equipment, but they didn’t get involved in the ultra large machines.Thanks for posting this excellent video. Take Care.
Very cool video.Really like those crawlers dragline’s got to help take a few of them Marion M 183 ,184 a part back in the 90,s in Miami.
Very cool.Did you every do the inside of this M184 it would be very cool to se inside the house with engine videos.Thanks.
Lot of material being moved.
Imagine if Big Muskie was be on crawlers
Bad news everyone this dragline is now out of commission
Cool video, cool machine. What's the bucket capacity?
Ten to 12 yards buckets on the 184M
What if we made a dragline that didn’t have the crane and only used winches to drag the material close to shore where a dredge would be pumping it to the plant ?
Seems unnecessary to raise the sand and dump it every time . Why not just have a small dredge near shore and use dragline to drag across the lake to pull material to dredge to be pumped up to plant
