Thank you for not putting a silly music track over the sound of the machine. The sound takes me back over 40 years to my childhood, falling asleep at night listening to the sounds of the dragline a few miles away at a small town coal operation. One might not think of metal scraping on stone, cables whining, the chug, chug as it swung to the spoil pile, metal clanging, then chugging back again as soothing. But for me that was a lullaby. Some people count sheep, I counted the swing of the bucket. Didn't hurt that the night shift operator was my favorite uncle. ❤
@@RyanRundell BUCYRUS actually did buy out Marion from Dresser Industries in 1997, and Cat acquired Bucyrus in 2010. Cat acquired many great machines with a long legacy and great history; they look better in in original colors (my opinion); Cat Yellow just drowns out the great legacy of those magnificent machines..
@@RyanRundell Bucyrus bought Marion a few years ago, before CAT bought Bucyrus. The 8200 is from the Marion side, although there might have been some merging of the designs. Interesting that Bucyrus kept the Marion model numbers.
@@pilbomags488 that's awesome, I work in a big coal mine in canada and we run draglines too. I do maintenance on them and we have very few good operators and I always notice a good one!
@@pvtimberfaller I think the effort to mine underground is a logistical nightmare in comparison, cave ins, shoring, sink holes, repairing and maintaining equipment underground… There are actually underground coal mines that have been burning underground since 1962 in the Centrialia underground coal fire PA.
I know it’s great and authentic. For those who work out in the field there is little studio effects, especially while standing out on a dragline catwalk in NE India.

Cat doesn’t make draglines…. They just paint a Marion yellow!
Nice view of nice work from a good operator.
Very efficient.
Thanks for sharing.
Actually they bought Bucyrus… Now if Bucyrus had bought out Marion that would make sense.

No rope slap pretty smooth operator.
Very smooth
Thank you, it means a lot to me. You see, I AM that operator.

Smooth operator, bucket never stops moving. Chains pretty quiet.
Bucyrus 8200 dragline.
Swing an dump to the blind side an come back the same way an you can see wer to set the bucket for next drag
Good video-looks like a long way to be moving the spoils.
The economics of strip mining blow my mind. That is a huge amount of overburden to move.

Why does he swing back? Why not do the whole lap? It's faster as far as he has to drive to pick it up and unload it
BECAUSE IT WILL COME UNSCREWED.
@@hamptonequipment5853 it sits and rotates on a roller circle using 6 electric motors. How can anything spin down?

I was wondering if He was taking the dirt out of the state😊
Wind sound is terrible
