    Great video, nice old beauty of a Cat

    Man, How thing's change over time. When I used to drive "Rock Trucks" we where loaded by "Northwest Shovels" and "Front-end Loader's" The Cat 992 was the BIG Thing back then. Thanks for the neat video and bring back memories to this old man.

      Sounds about right! If you didn't have a D9 and a 992 back to strip with back in the day, you were doing it wrong.

      Mine i work at was like that back in the day. Coal was so close to the surface a loader or scrapers could strip it now we use 4 dragline 2 8750s an 8050 and 1360 bucyrus as well as a 4100 and 495 for pre stripping

    I wonder if the backhoe version has a mechanical advantage over the shovel version. The shovels always seem to struggle more to get a good bucketload.

    • @Simple_Worship_Guitar
      @Simple_Worship_Guitar Před 2 lety +1

      The excavator can be used in a lot more situations than the shovel. I’ve seen the 5230 shovel work, and it’s a beast. But there were many times you’d have to have a dozer up in the shot to push and break down. The excavator can climb themselves right up in the shot, and dig themselves right across while loading. So the dozer is free to do other things.

      That machine is actually in good shape for its age. And if you really want to know how the counterweight is scratched, I have your answer! It's because we live in a liberal american world where entitlement sets in before common sense. Good luck finding any young operator who want to learn that you can actually teach. Most young guys today's re hot heads and won't listen to anything senior operators try to teach them. I know, I deal with this every day. -PA
