Demag H185S Documentary 

Thanks PAmining for putting together another superb video. I have been a fan of the DEMAG brand for a long time. I believe it was DEMAG that really pushed the boundaries on large, mining size hydraulic excavators. The company was also involved with the development of ultra high capacity mobile cranes. DEMAG was responsible for many technical advancements in both the excavator and crane fields. Probably the only negative comment I heard about their machines, was the cost of parts.Supposedly the cost of parts was much higher than some of their competitors - such as O&K.Getting back to your video doc. , I appreciate that you went into a lot of detail, about this big DEMAG backhoe. I’m looking forward to the next video. Take Good Care.

It blows my mind how many old machines are still running in PA. I guess we’re really hard on our machines in southern Indiana

Another great video! I like how your hands get progressively more dirty as you go along!

Great presentation and documentary. This one was a really big behemoth on it's hay day.

Thanks for this video. As always very interesting. Demag is really legendary machines. They have been making hydraulic excavators since 1925, amazing experience

Amazing videos as always! Thank you!

Excellent as always. I am guessing this one is still in operation? I'd sure like to see a video of it in action some time.

I miss Demag and O&K equipment but Komatsu has gone well and Cat would have to buy up an established outfit to get a workable model for the BIG stuff. Thanks, Pal and I see you got your comfortable clothes on. God Bless ALL Yall!

Another excellent documentary PA 👍👍👍 The Demags were good diggers...

Demag cranes division was taken over by Terex if I remember

A great video as always, Thank You.

I’d love to been around a demag….seen bout everything else when I used to steam round here…I’d like to take few of this generation on a 20degree night back on the hill sprayin water

Nice video buddy Lov them all

That is a climb for shure

I am kind of surprised that this machine does not have that large of an electrical system to run all the work lights without needing a standalone generator. Sounds like there could be a story behind that?

Tough machines though they had some affiliations to the Hibachi’s ! 😅😅🆒

9:32 This section reminds me of the end of Svengoolie, where he always answers the door and talks to the guy who tells jokes, but we only see his hands. 😃
