    CAT still delivered such loaders as late as end 50s.This cabled system was called "TRACKSON".Equipped with a cabin and in the yellow Cat colour.Were big size machines.
    Have been searching high and low for an image,like this one!!!! So...my great thanks for posting!!!! At last!!!!!!

    New one on me and I love old heavy equipment. The guy knows how to run it too. That’s the cool thing about old trucks and equipment, they can still do just as good of a job if not better in some cases. Maybe not as fast or fuel efficient but they definitely have it in longevity. I need an old Mack with a low boy and a D9G or H

    The hardest part of being a heavey operator now-a-days is climbing aboard and just staying awake. With the air conditioning, enclosed quiet cabs, air ride seats, music tunes, remote camers, 1/2 ounce pressure joy-stick controls, self greasing,and GPS telekenetic grade & location dispatchment, means "anybody " with vidio "gaming " skills can be a Heavy Equipment Operator. Just no "He-Men" left to do REAL WORK-Like it was done 25years earlier ( and a whole lot of it got done before). The "Hero's" of yesteryear are GONE........

    Seen one of those back in the mid 60s when I was a kid, but it was even older then the one in the video. Even seen a cable backhoe digging sewer line around the mid 60s, too. Hydraulics were just starting to be used back then.. The old stuff is pretty cool.

    • @donaldstrishock3923
      @donaldstrishock3923 2 роки тому +1

      Whoa, 1960's for "cable" backhoe's! Got a whole lot of better story's. It was 1985-2000 & " running grade" in the ditches&cellars in front of the Bucyress-Erie B17 & B22's was " commonplace. Those " Dinosaurs " were " lighting fast" when the clutches disengaged & through the bucket arm out at you some 25-32 feet after they swung around fer another "Big Bite" & they did so quite quietly as was not the case when they were " dragging up the whinches" for another "go-round". Still am surprised the I'm still alive dispite my " lightning-cat-like reflexes" of yester-year;;; and "YES" I WAS THERE!!! Those " Old-Timers" were quite the " Athletes & Magician 's" to Run those "Old Dinosaurs "---; the barely sat on the "seat" jumping around like "pop-corn" flexing & contorting pulling the " leavers & pushing the pedals. I was always amazed & scared to be in the presence of those " Cable-action 1950s style Brute-force Dinosaurs ". Those were the days, and those ( we) were "Real MEN" back then-- Then the " Wimpy " hydraulic Excavators came along after the "Old Timer's" retired.

    • @MrSaemichlaus
      @MrSaemichlaus 2 роки тому +1

      It doesn't look like it to me. At 01:40 you see the little locking hook being actuated to release the bucket, I'd be surprised if that mechanism was adjustable with the cable pulling the hook and the bump stop and all. I assume the bucket was given a slightly downward attack angle so that it digs into the ground naturally if lowered all the way.
