I'm getting trained in a 773 right now, I also drive a tractor trailer everyday hauling coal but I really want to learn how to operate this and a 992G loader as well.. You done a good job filming this, I see one of this things everyday in the pit where I work and I cant wait to get in one... I love working around the mines, its a rush...

[@Dodgeram591]

i would be super stoned in that water truck lol!

[@TurboGSR96]

they used one of these around me locally to dig a resevoir, I drove up to it and its tracks were at the top of my SUV lol

This is my dad operating in this video. He's been operating for 30+ years on the 5130 for pinnick inc. any questions ask me and I'll reply ASAP!

What size bucket is that? You know it's big when you have to wait a few seconds for dirt to stop pouring out of it over the truck...

[@2v1l]

how do they haul that thing? o.O

[@michaelovitch]

@387jfisher
ok
so it's preventive i guess.

[@vantagetes]

Ok, why does he dig over his drives like a greenhorn?

[@387jfisher]

@michaelovitch They are wear plates

[@generationll]

With the purchase of Bucyrus bigger Caterpillar excavators are on the way

[@natuurlijk]

The same machines are used in Waihi NZ...by the Martha Gold mine company... fascination to watch from viewing plat forms ...best with binoculars as the pit is very deep...they look like toys

[@PAmining]

That's a 10 or 11 yd on this one.

@2v1l
In many many pieces!

[@onyourbikeuoldfart]

The number on the side of cats and jcbs refers to the weight, does this mean the cat 5130 weighs in at 513 tons ?

[@lancebowman4832]

No while that is true for the 300 series, it's not correct for the 5000 series.

[@onyourbikeuoldfart]

Thanks.
