DAY OF HELL...Digging rock with Komatsu 1250 

My dad used to operate a Cat 245B digging in dirt pit loading Euclid off-road trucks. I was sit on his lap as a kid. He would continue digging material to have a small stockpile to load the Euclid. He did the same when operating the Bucyrus Erie 88B shovel front. Those days are great memories. This vid took me back to those days.

I dig rock all day long with a Cat 374 fitted with quick hitch. Flick the bucket off and put a ripper on. Works great for us, saves ripping the ass out the bucket 👍

Reminds me of striping old wallpaper and the great feeling when you pull off a big bit!

nice video happy holidays and best in new 2023 year.

Pushy is back! Where was this filmed?

I have only operated a Komatsu 360 and that was in sandy loam. I kinda figured the 1250 would break through that hard material like a knife in butter.

Oh man, that s rough day in the seat.

Keep grinding bro ! 👍

Curious as to why you guys dont rip it first with either a frost pick on the 1250 or with a dozer? I understand area blasting restrictions but I dont see the point of continuing on this way.

Teeth don't last long in that shit. Digging in that kinda ground sucks
