    wish there was footage of the cross pit spreader systems we had here in Texas until the late 2000s
    fed by twin bucket wheel excavators. Stripped overburden for the draglines. Awesome sight lit up at night.

    Thanks for another great drag video Jason, I miss these machines. Spent many years operating the good old 2400’s . Back in those days one did not have to look far to see these especially at night with the boom lights swinging to and fro on many mountain tops in my area of Pa. Thanks!

    Nice video. Thanks. The rocks have to be tough on the bucket and the dragline also, to some extent. I can't see a bucket wheel handling this very well, but I could be wrong.

    They had one of these at the Juana rock quarry off Hiway 98 in Taylor county Florida before they closed about 10 years ago do to Anderson Columbia opening a quarry right across the road. Actually they had just put together a Second 380 right before they stopped digging, think they were running only 10 yard buckets on them.

      I noticed the lack of dragging power. I'm wondering if it's because the base isn't on the most solid of surfaces and a strong drag would weaken the berm.

      Very doubtful. You can do so much more with smaller equipment and clean and recover the coal better than with mega machines. Thanks!

      It's usually just a general amount of Cubic M3 per day. Couldn't tell you what one this size moves but the real large class ones move up to 60k cubic meters in a 24hr period sometimes more

    • @bethanyhaskiell9116
      @bethanyhaskiell9116 Рік тому +2

      Its moving around 40,000 to 50,000 cubic yards in a 24 hr shift

    • @PAmining
      @PAmining  Рік тому +3

      Assuming a one minute cycle time and an 85% bucket full factor, that 380 is probably moving around 7,700 yds in a 9.5 hour shift.
