I see there are many comments telling “It’s a Dragline, NOT a Shovel” so I will just Explain the Difference between the two… ✅ A Dragline digs from Down below the machine from far out and down to right up in front of it, and has at least One Drag cable and hoist cable as this one with the 95 cubic yard bucket… A stripping Shovel digs from in front of the machine up Close to Outwards and Up ⬆️ with a Totally Different boom setup that is generally shorter in length/height..!!! 😎👍👌
And a shovel is mostly smaller and has buckets with less capacity. Although the biggest bucket of a Cat 6090FS has 68yd³ / 52m³. But always with a way shorter digging and dumping reach, but higher digging force than a dragline.
They must have to X-ray the ground this crane is on in order to get that close to the edge. Any cracks underneath the ground could be a doozy from that height.
then tell us how much it does weigh and its capacity. Big Muskies bucket weighed 210 tons, this is not that size, but its at least half that size. Big Muskie could also hold 295 Tons of material.. Let me know when you have an answer
That’s not even 1/4 of the size of big muskies bucket. I would say it’s somewhere in the area of thirty five cubic yards, at 1.5 ton per yard, it’s tonnage capacity is around 52-53 ton. Comparing it to the 992 to the left of the spoil pile, it probably weighs around 50 ton. Don’t get me wrong, it’s a large machine, but nowhere close to big Muskie.
Not a shovel,it's a dragline.
It’s a Dregline
all draglines are shovels, but not all shovels are draglines.
I think that's a forklift excavator truck!

It doesn't look like 95 yards, until he swivels and you see the tiny little pickup trucks for scale 😮
What a magnificent clip this is. Thank you and can we have more of the same?

Love the sound of those drag chains rattling..........
Would feel more like man there than on the skateboard🤛
Which mine is this?
Brings new meaning to pulling pillars!!!
Been there done that one 😀
some people have the coolest jobs...
For a week it’s cool. Then it’s dusty, filthy, repetitive and ultimately boring, even if it pays the mortgage and sends the kids to university.
P&H 4800 for me thank you.
man dude looks like he could fall out of the cabin if he sneezed. Do they wear seatbelts?
I am more impressed his can of diet coke doesn't tip over from the vibrations.
How is this massive?
ka7wyf have you ever seen a dragline?
I have run a BE 2570 100yd bucket, so I have seen massive!!!@@probmxjona
This is a Marion 8700 so slightly smaller than a 2570
I love it ❤️
Might be 30yd if your lucky, not massive at all!!!
lol prove it
Location?
The anthracite mines of NE Pennslyvania. This video looks like one posted by someone else.
A mine.
That’s a dragline, not a shovel
all draglines are shovels, but not all shovels are draglines.
That’s a dragline not a shovel 👍
dragline
Get your facts straight before you publish a video, especially in the title, of all things. This was a dragline, not a shovel.
all draglines are shovels, but not all shovels are draglines.
DRAGLINE!!
all draglines are shovels, but not all shovels are draglines.
That bucket does not weigh 100 tons, nor does it have a 100 ton capacity.
then tell us how much it does weigh and its capacity. Big Muskies bucket weighed 210 tons, this is not that size, but its at least half that size. Big Muskie could also hold 295 Tons of material.. Let me know when you have an answer

No that’s like 75 cubic yards
Never mind it’s low to the ground it’s tiny that is like a 45 cubic yard bucket
That looks like the Marion 8700 in PA if so it's 85 yards
