"A Trackhoe With Strings" - Northwest 80-D Hoe at Brownsville
Вставка

- Watched this visiting operator on the 80-D hoe. Smooth and precise, been running one for years.
...actually, he's an experienced hydraulic trackhoe operator, but first time on this machine was 2 days before. Talking with the guy, he described it as "Just a Trackhoe With Strings".
It's sad that so many younger excavator operators are afraid to get on a cable machine, although there are several young regular operators that run the 80-D well.
I believe the guy is from Tennessee, hope he comes back.
Murphy Diesel, of course.

My biggest regret is not learning the old cable excavator. I did learn the larger electric shovels , the 201 Marion.. But, the nostalgia in this NW 80 D , t is a great thing.
Sure, I have operated the hydraulic excavators doing basements and sewer lines.I had the long sticks p out of the floors , no tiny joy sticks like today. . God bless the old school cable men
Us youngins gotta keep this stuff alive! I'm 22 and learned on a NW 25 like the one in the background.
acprimus631C me too! The one I ran had a Murphy MP-11 diesel and a drop ball
The one I run has a 3-71 in it. Up here at Zagray we have 4 25s, all with different engines-Detroit, Cat, Murphy, and Buda gas. Pick your poison!
the unique sound of the Murphy Diesel....
For sure! They not only sounded good, they WERE good!
The last few years that cable hoes were made, they did have a hydraulic curl bucket; I remember seeing a NW 95 and an 80 D rigged that way, and I believe both Insley and Lima also built some cable hoes with a hydraulic curl on the bucket.
I got the background story on the video title last weekend from Flash. I really need to get to this show in August
Best digging show in the US, probably best in the world. So much going on at once that you know you're going to miss a bunch of the action.
thanks for putting this on. I'm looking forward to coming back and Ryan having his80- D shovel walked up to the pile.
What is the status of this machine I haven't seen it move much in the last couple years
@@budwalker333 master clutch issue
Gordan Shirley just waiting on someone to fix it ?
That machine can definitely move a lot of material in a short time. I don't know much about those old cable machines. How is tension maintained on the slack lines?
I grew up next to a lumber mill, and I can remember waking up most mornings to the sound of an old Northwest just like this one, but with a long lattice boom, decking logs for the mill.
Cool video, and thanks for posting it.
Operator skill.
My grandfather had a quick-way shovel and a bantam shovel just like this one here in va was one of the first around in northern va area in the 50's
Nice! A beast!
I operated all kinds of machines before I retired 20 years ago and would love to get in that old machine and give it a go.
It sure as heck does a great job and has lots of power.
Twice a year.
400 miles or less.
All QEW + Interstate.
Easily worth the trip.
No excuses.
is there one going on in 2017 I plan on going?
2 shows each year, in May and August. I looked at the website for the specific 2017 dates, and it's currently being rebuilt.
Oprador de escavadeira e os antigos.
I love the old iron. Wish I could run this for a bit.
NO SCREAMIN DEMON DETROIT HERE! PROBABLY A MURPHY!
Is the tram lock not engaged or is there just that much slop in the tram gear? Seems he moves around alot for having a tram lock!
Diesel or gas engine on this machine?
ชอบมากๆครับชอบดูรถขุดโบราญเราจะได้รู้ว่าโมเดลรถสมัยก่อนเป็นอย่างไร
His only drawback is his fixed bucket. You cant load a dump truck with it.
They always used to load trucks. Just need to spot the truck right.
This one loads trucks occasionally...doesn't take many passes!
Some hoes were built with hydraulic curl late in the cable era, but it was mostly for breakout power.
There are actually cable backhoes made with mechanical curl, but I've mostly seen it on German machines, such as Demag, O&K, Weserhütte and Fuchs.
sure you can. gotta boom way up and get the truck "just right". Trick is getting a truck driver that is able to get in the right spot, most will end up at a 45 degree angle or too close or too far away. Last i checked a truck is a bit more mobile than a pullshovel or dragline, tempted sometimes to just snag the box and pull them into correct position!!!
o yes BOOM UP
