He's a good operator, smooth, efficient, clean, He fills the back of the low side of the bucket well, a lot of operators don't. I always look to see that. The P&H 2800 is an excellent machine. well designed. I like the P&H model. always have. although I never was to crazy for the all terrain P&H rubber tier crain, articulating body. way to much flex twisting bending under loads, old school here. I worked on some old machines back in the day. RockQuarry rigs not to often, although I did love it, but dirt was more to my liking.
Looks like a very inefficient setup. Why aren't you double side or shotgun loading and there is no need to run your bucket more than 1/2 way up the face unless you are dealing with frost or overhangs. I run a P&H 4100 xpb AC drive shovel and I would lose my job if I was to blame for this amateur setup. Unless this was done according to company procedures than the company won't be around in challenging times.
so what ur saying is u know everything about it all but dont know anything about it all? u were not there so u dont know, full buckets, no stuffing around and no shit left to clean up = bloody good job.
