- Dad using the excavator to take the flood off our cranberry beds after the berries are all picked up. We have to do it this way because we don't have bulk heads yet.

Those Detroit 2 strokes are unmistakable when you hear them. Is that a 71 series in a 20-H ? I know the big 1266 Koehring excavators had 2- V-12 71s I think 😳 what a sound coming out of those things all day. And the Bucyrus 40-H had a similar setup possibly. BADASS MACHINES
She's old but she's gold.
Not sure how old it is.
Good old machine and brilliant idea putting the GoPro on the boom. Nice!
+NgtFlyer Thanks, the camera on the boom is actually a cheap spy cam I have. The video on that camera is almost better than the GoPro.
Good old Detroit. That's a good rig.
I love that excavator, new pins and it will be fine for another 50 years!
UnitCrane514 it will run another 50 years with the worn pins :)
Maybe some grease once in a while
Big equipment! Nice video!
Great excavator video. :)
James Eggerth Thanks
Cab on the right side. Early drag line tracks .
Nice video. Your dad has a knack for running that old girl. Nice job. How long does it take to drain the bed? Also will you be sanding the beds this winter?

sony1998 He has been running it a long time. It has built the whole cranberry marsh. We plan to sand if we can get enough ice on the beds and our equipment will run :) It doesn't take long to drain the beds this way. Maybe a day to drain all three beds.
Awesome excavator. Reason I first found your channel and subbed to it.
justfakeit888 It hasn't been run a lot this year.
Yeah. Might you consider doing a history and overview video on it sometime?
justfakeit888 I could do a walk around when I get some time. Dad bought it around 15 years ago. I have only been on youtube for 3-4 years now. I don't have any old video of it. My dad might have a few pics of it when he bought it but that would be it. It came with some land that dad bought. We don't know where the guy before us bought it.
Just a "little" play in the bucket pins. Lol. After operating current model excavators with the boom on the right, I think with the boom on the left would mess with me.
More room for grease :)
😍😍😍
can u help me located the hydraulic filter on my bucyrus erie 20h detroit 4-71 diesel
I will have to ask my dad. He was the one that ran this.
spullay Unbolt plate from top of hydraulic tank. They are submerged in the oil
nice vid. :) sould there be all that play in the bucket. ? 2 me it looks like it needs new pins.
***** They are a little worn :)
mossman381 o ok. :)
MRJOHNDEERE3720 I seen worst then that in newer equipment nice video you really know how to handle her
Koehring controls??
She's reving very high
That is how you run this machine.
That's pretty much normal. My used to operate an Insley excavator and it sounded pretty close to that. And it had 10,000+ hours when it was retired.
I never get tired of this old girl if you guys sell her I'll stop watching your channel haha you should restore her someday this is a collectors item I love that your dad runs her still to he's good at operating to
allied1394 When we get some time I want to run it myself. Seems like we are always trying to get something done fast.
Chattsworth?
Them Go Pro's take some nice video don't they?
Is this in Washington?
Wisconsin
sounds like she has a detroit in her
+snuffbandit 4-71
Wow that's one clapped out machine every pin is fucked all the bushings

would be faster with a back hoe or mini excavator. sell this and and invest in a small back hoe. useful tool. just a 3rd person point of view
Green Knoll Lawn Care We have a CAT 416 backhoe. I don't think it would be any faster. Plus a backhoe or mini excavator wouldn't do the job this excavator can do. This thing will never be sold. Dad built the whole marsh with this. It will probably get retired on our gravel pile loading gravel. I know this machine is not very fast but it does the job. It has paid for itself over and over again.
You kids and your new/fast garbage. Older bigger louder is better. Machines should be heard a 1/2 mile away.
