Demag H185 Hogging Clay 

Thank you, they are fun to watch! That is one of a few improvements I will make to my videos.

Thanks! It's been well taken care of. Repainted recently but preformance wise, it runs great for its age.

Thanks! This is actually one of my personal favorites. New stuff starts next man!

@pollarddisposal That all depends on how far the machine would need to go to get to its next job. If the job is close and within a couple miles, the shovel can be walked. But to transport the machine a long distance, the H185 breaks down into modules which then are loaded up on tractor trailers and hauled away. In some cases if the machine needs to be relocated to far distance on the mine site, the machine will be loaded onto a heavy hauler in one piece and moved.

Great pov! Only 2 passes to fill those 60 ton trucks is impressive.

They do. The clay is dumped on a seperate bank to be spread over the grey rock after the pit is backfilled.

Left joystick works the bucket on a Demag. Pull it to the right to curl the bucket; left to dump the bucket. Foot pedals work the clam.

The size of the first view of the bucket is mind blowing

Thanks! It is when you think how much is being moved in one scoop.

I think I need one of those. Be just the ticket for getting the leaves out of my ditches. 😄

Justin great video of that 22 year old girl she sure runs good seems to have lots of power.

Really good vid. Excellent camera angles and shots. Definitely enjoyed this. What a beast that 185! Am not an expert at all, but the operator looked really smooth and productive. Many thanks PA!

Thank you!

Awesome video! For a 1988 that machine doesn't really look to old, and its in good shape.

Looks like nice and easy digging for that machine.

@odmcarp Thanks. This is one of my older videos, my newer ones I try to make longer. And the mine is in Pennsylvania

@PAmining Awesome!! Cant wait!

that demag looks fairly well maintained

Yes, they are known as Dressta

Thanks! 1050hp

Great video. Thank you for sharing

Thanks! No I've filmed this machine before.

Well worth repeated viewing. Great stuff!

I had to watch this vid again Justin, what a first class view!! I dont mean to bug you, but do you have new stuff yet? No worries either way.

👍🏻...H 185 Documentary please 🙏🏼

is dresser still around?? where i live i hardly ever see their machines on job sites

No what did I say. The left is boom and bucket and right is swing and stick. S/S is your right, B/B is your left.

Really nice vid as always Justin. I cant remember seeing this shovel in your other vids, first time you filmed this particular shovel?

I don't know if anyone else noticed but it looks like the bucket on the hydrolic shovels look like they're smiling as the machines work. They remind me of a big dinosaur

Wow, never get lucky seeing something like that at an auction it runs too well.

Its an Excellent video.. May I know that how is that dipper door mechanism working in this particular shovel..??

Hi PAmining, Really great video! mrbluenun

That machine fairly shifts the clay!

Good commentary but you didn't tell us what the clay is going to be used for.

Does anyone know when these machines came out? With that front-scoop design that is. Thanks.

What engine powers the h185
