Do it right then there's no drama for the bs reality TV retards to watch. Just sensatiionaling the reality just like ice road truckers and all the other ignorant reality TV shows.
I would have gorn right through the thing and given it a full service, but i think this was the test run to see how well it worked befor putting any more money into it
Did you watch this? Machine was fine. It was setup to run course gravel with large holes in the Trammell, this allowed stones to block the drain, blow the hose and cause the sluice runs to overflow.
Who would of thought that a 30 year old trumle witch had only been used for one season would not work, if it had of worked it would of done more then one season in the first place 😄
Big equipment like that needs a lot of fixes after a season, a big price tag comes with lots of hidden faults. You gotta maintain it and invest in it for it to pay you well. What’s an investment if you don’t check on it
i remember an episode i think in season 6 or 7 where a someone on the production crew jammed a chunk of clay behind a tire and they made a big deal about a the trailer being stuck. The show is entertaining but its a load of horse shit.

@@princessofthecape2078 yeah really friendly really nice people rarely do gritty work that involves machinery breakdowns and dangerous environments. You have to be a little tapped
It’s common sense that machinery left to weather for 30 years will fail. Every bearing will need overhaul if not replacing. Every weld has to be checked and rust must be cut out.
Don’t think Tony has greased a bearing in his life. Everything needs replaced after that amount of time. Bearings, chains, engine fluids. If planned maintenance existed it would save them a lot of pain 😂
Tony reminds me so much of my dad. We aren’t gold miners. We are stone fruit growers. Cherries, Peaches, plums, etc... My dad loved finding old shit for cheap and making it work. Sometimes yay, sometimes fuuuuuck!! Farming and mining are basically the same thing.😉
He reminds me of a fusion between my moms dad (my grandpa) and my moms brother (my uncle) my grandpas is tough like an ox he will work and work even if it kills him and never half asses anything and make sure it works right, and my uncles the same way but my uncle cusses like a sailor too that and my uncle loves buying and using old crap and doing maintenance on them when they need it, telling me if it ain’t broken beyond repair why throw it away and buy a new one. My uncles also the same guy to take off the lawn mower blades underneath his driving lawn mower during the winter months and hand sharpen the blades by hand with a vice in his garage to hold it in place and a file it to a fine point and the flatten it off with the file so the blades won’t get chipped when you cut the grass then put the blades back on. My uncle always tells me always make sure you do your maintenance during down time so when you go to use it it’s in tip top shape and won’t brake down so fast wether it’s a car or a lawn mower. Heck this week me and my uncle are actually fixing my grandpas old 2002 white Pontiac grand pix 3800 the oil pressures bad in it so we fixed that with a New oil pump and now we’re cleaning out the gunk in the upper and lower intake manifold of the engine block, trust me when I say it’s dirty with 20 years oil sludge it’s dirty dirty dirty even my grandpa was shocked at how dirty it was and then we’re gonna have to put new gaskets on the upper and lower intake manifold then put her all back together and she if she purrs like a kitten and roars like a lion.

Little to zero maintenance done to restore the Trommel. I love the use of old iron but I hate when people take short cuts and do not respect that iron.
You can’t just fire up a machine after sitting for decades it’s like any car Do a full repair doesn’t matter if it works or not It needs to be fixed fully
Tony is a heck of a guy, maybe not the most friendly to everybody. But he has a habit of acquiring 'abandoned equipment'. Ya got to ask 'why'd they abandon something so expensive and massive'?
cause somehas to put in this abandonned washing plant lot of money to make it running as it should. and not everyone has a mountain of gold in the drawer of the office desk like the beets family has...:-)
you smash and torch everything apart and roll it down a hill with excavators, stick weld it back together here and there, then just flip the switch and it doesnt work, why would anyone be surprised
Wish they would've cut and welded in a slanted pipe so there isn't a T intersection but more like a Y and that should be a decent fix till a screen is added
It’s hasn’t “failed” totally just didn’t work perfect right out the gate after sitting for decades… which I highly doubt these seasoned prospectors expected but maybe hoped so
Maybe it’s just the plumber in me, but if they’re having problems with the rocks getting stuck at the fitting like that, wouldn’t rigging up something like a 45 degree fitting instead of a tee like in the diagram, solve that problem? That way when the tailings are going to the water discharge pipe, they’re on a natural downward course instead of hitting a tee and water trying to punch its way through. That way even if they’re getting rocks bigger than the screen, they still have a better chance at is passing through then blocking the pipe.
Exactly, and as if he didn't take into consideration the size of the screen and the size of the material before spending 400k 🤣 catastrophic failure somewhere else in the machine I'd reckon.
I guarantee 400k was never "handed over" for this trommel. prob some gold swap at end of the season, and Tony prob figures, it's simple enough, obviously gonna break, fix it and run it. This machine will be a moneymaker. Gold Rush over dramatizing a hose bust. Just need to work the kinks out.
I wouldn't exactly say a $400K gamble failed just because the machine requires some modification and repair after sitting. The dramatization is positively meh.
Maybe there's a reason this machine has sat unused for 30 years.... seems like it's not very well designed. I'm not sure Tony will get back his $400,000+ for the scrap metal.
Hes definitely doing it for the family plus once you don't worry about money...some dudes just like working. They go to work just for entertainment and to give them something to do.
depends not with what the man made lots of money. 99,99% percent of them want to keep the level or more! so nearly no one of them is really satisfied and long term glad.. my last chief the same with his restaurant and beer garden. lots of problems with health with 67 but still working 12hours 6 days a week and shouting about everything. thats why i quit and starting tomorrow somewhere else. you have to work hard everywhere, but other chiefs weren`t not this bulli.
worse time??? when testing everything to see how it works, that to me is the BEST time to mave any problems!!!! better when testing the when slucing… ❤ how discovery say “it could give 500 ounces”. did discovery plant 500 ounces there for Tony to mine???
A lot of times it has to do with them being at work. It makes you seem douche to be calling your boss dad all day and you usually get razzed by the rest of the crew. they usually call them Dad outside of work but sometimes it just sticks. I remember Dakota Fred and his son had the same thing. Cheers and have a wonderful day!
Ehhh 400k for a for a huge trommel on wheels with hopper, sleuce box, spray nozzles and tailings conveyor don’t sound to bad but still a pretty penny. But still if it actually works it don’t sound to bad for mining
A month or two to get a screen in there and welded up? No way...couple weeks tops just because you need to find or have a screen made and then have it shipped there.
You mean to tell me 30-year-old belts and hoses broke when they started using them? .... I'm blown away !
$400,000..... you forgot the dry rotted tire.... the cost of transport.... the operating expenses.
Plus the cylinder seals to keep it leveled and in sure there scratched up as well with the way its been moved..so much to repair.
what got me, is that they didnt do any testing, prior or leave time, in case if had failed, as well as checking and replacing everything that needs replacing, spend a little more to get it done fucking right so it will last another 30 making untolds amount of gold.

Or it worked right but years of sitting didn't do it so good

How the hell can something cost 400k if it hasn’t been running for 30 years. Was there another buyer if Tony passed I’m think no

This is something the Hoffman crew would buy
I think the 400000$ is the new purchase price.tony probably stole the tromel, abandoned foe 30 years whose going to miss it
I bet he paid scrap price for it, and the only real expense he has for it was moving it.
I wouldn't exactly say a $400K gamble failed just because the machine requires some modification and repair after sitting. The dramatization is positively meh.

Would have thought he would’ve checked it over before buying it.

Imagine paying 400k plus for a bucket of rust.
Burnt truck & 400k, min maintenance, no test, mental
Nice! So it is mobile… thought not when they first got it they had to take it apart in three pieces to haul
The difference between a 980 and a 988 is crazy
Zero maintenance. Zero overhaul. And expecting Zero problems? Probably the same oil and fuel in it to.
