Can you explain what the Operator Challenge is? I thought I would see an operator who is super productive at loading, not a beginner. Very slow and unproductive and unskilled
Wow liebherr R9350 that's was i used in CATOCA DIAMOND MINING ANGOLA AFRICA 🇦🇴 2005 to 2009 b4 ive transpered in barrrick Gold mine in Tanzania 🇹🇿 Africa
The man standing looking away as the back end slid toward him, while he is wearing no helmet, should not be teaching anyone anything about safety, ever.
I drove one of those at the old Candelaria open pit mine( Nevada) in the early 1980's, never had to make an emergency stop (thank God). Thanks for the memories (I'm 70 yrs old now). 😊
The tips on that machine are expensive that grind the rock down that's expensive alternative and usually when you have to replace one of them don't mess around replace all of them because you just going to have too much down time. And it's expensive.
Idiots hear this and think it's electric, it is butt not like they think. Basicly a generator on tracks turning 2 giant electric motor final drives and pump for the blade. It is cool and probably a hell of alot more efficient. Alot less steel moving alot less repair and down time . Not any better for the environment though. On the production end you have traded one material,steel for a dozen different materials cooper,cobalt,nickel etc. that requires strip mining all over the world where they burn enormous amounts of diesel fuel for production. A solar plant in California was built. It took 2 years at 10k gallons of diesel per week. Math came out as 45 years for the clean energy to cancel initial carbon release, panels have a life expectancy of 20. I love it and wish it were so and it will be one day. Butt as my friends from out of town say,"Your just not ready yet."
I could be stuck with a couple horse tranquilizers and still operator a loader better than this fuck job. Delete this god damn video before I jump off a cliff
