Running a Hyundai 220 and my thoughts compared to my Hyundai 210 

The one thing I think RU-vid got right? We get to see some awesome good people get together and play on machines. I love the interactions of all these folks.

I’m impressed you got dirt the first few buckets. Draglines are a art form, but with time you could orchestrate the operation without a doubt. I haven’t seen one run since back in the 70’s. Brings back memories.

The chain clank brought back memories of my dad running a Mantawok 4500, & watching, riding as a kid. thanks for the memories.

Looks like a good time. Running the dragline would be a blast. I got to move around a 1972 Lima crawler crane a bit, big toys. I’m glad you came up North to the right end of Indiana, lol.

I see you using all this new machines and I think back to 1960 70, 80. And the improvements they did and over time I can see the massive changes.

I enjoyed the review and your take on the differences. Also like what you say, “bigger isn’t always better”. I like the common sense approach to how you gauge what machine works best for your company and the jobs you do. It may be a little stronger, definitely louder, but what you have is matched perfectly for your needs. Fuel burn for you and that machine would be higher just because of the jobs you do, I think. It would be impossible to know for sure unless you ran them side by side doing the same job. Thanks for bringing us along as always.

It's a little different running a bucket on a string isn't it, look's pretty cool on video Mike.

Good vid DP. By the way you where concentrating on that dragline I bet you would be feeling a bit knackered in a few hours. As far as the Hyundai machines go pity they don't have the option to save settings to a USB drive so you could transfer your preferences between machines. Perhaps something the could implement at some stage?

You have the gift of feel for machinery!

You had extreme fun you could see it in your face so glad you had a good time keep up the good work PS the drag line looked cool cheers Jill Australia 💕🐨

Compete with the link belt? For the first 30 feet of reach, you win. For the next 50 (or maybe 70 if he is a good at casting), yours will be under water or moving mats. They compliment each other.

Easy to see that it makes a lot more sense to get the 220 over the 210.

We had a camp down there at Duggar Indiana right next to Lebanon i am from cedar lake Indiana nice town to live in with a big lake in the town

Brandon is a good guy. He has some great videos on his RU-vid Channel.

Brandon is such a cool guy! I’m glad you guys got to get together!!

Love the old stuff

Ran a 220 for a few weeks , against 210. 220 lots more power digging with 5ft digging bucket, flat out 9 hr day , never missed a beat , loading 30 to dump trucks ,I was loading two more trucks per hour , than the 210

The bucket on the 220 was pretty impressive/aggressive looking. I think that would work really well on the clay soil here in NC. That dragline was awesome! You got used to it pretty fast. I bet you’d be able to set grade with that after another 4 hours of playing with it lol Just don’t let Matt start calling you Drag Perfect 🤣 Great video overall. 👍🏻

Nice to see Mike getting some time in using a drag line, probably getting ready for when he gets his own! Also nice of Mike to share exactly what the Hyundai's can really do when they set up to the user, instead of the factory settings. Brandon is a cool guy, letting you play with his toys.🤗

I was around a few Draglines back in the 70's but never truly appreciated how much skill was involved in operating them, those guy's made it look so effortless. The fuel rate on the 220 really surprised me, I do wonder if the rate changed after your fine tuning? Mike I gotta admit I would watch your video's if you were watching paint dry in real time.....lol Keep up the good work man!!

Now it's time to go get the one out of the bushes. Great winter project.

Definitely interesting seeing the difference in old a new technologies between that 220 and a drag line. Operating the DL full time I'm you ended with pretty good sized bicepts. Nothing like taking a long trip that ends up with some fun before the turn around to head home. Happy Thanksgiving to Mike his family and crew as well as all the other subs out there watching Mike having some fun. God Bless all of you.

Young man, I think you did pretty darn good on that drag line. Sweet machine, it’s like walking, chewing gum, and rubbing the tummy, all at the same time. Fun little trip, going to go over to that young man’s channel and give him a squint. Thanks for the ride along sir.

Great collaboration video Mike and Brandon really enjoyable thanks very much

A bairn and his toys, good to see you enjoying yourself. looking back at when you got the 210 you did talk about the variances in machines. Can see the dragline in previous video going to be used a lot if you decide to obtain it

The scrapyard I worked for had American dragline cranes with 66 inch and 72 inch magnets on an 80 ft boom. We had one 797 and 3 7220s up until 2008. We had some Link Belt cranes when I started there in the 1970s but they were scrapped shortly after that.

ya I like the drag line's to back in the 1970's we had a gravel co that had a bid 1 that walked no tracks

My dad cut grade with a Link-Belt! That has always amazed me. How to you do that with the bucket hanging on a cable?!!!

Yea the weight makes a big difference when you haul your own equipment

Encourage everybody to watch his channel version of this. He did not realize how proficient you were. It was kind of funny.

Uncle Orville spent years running a drag line at the Hanford Nuclear site and Columbia River dams. He could throw the bucket side armed and it would just fly. Always keep your boom swinging and your lines moving. My cousin had a friction machine, I always passed on running it.

my dad an uncle had a development co in florida in the early 60's. They spent all their time on draglines digging the canals. I do remember they tested a 3 wheel something I think it was a dozer blade. And 2 or 3 pans. thats what they called them I was 7 so it was all amazing to me.

operating costs and maintenance with the 4 vs 6 are about identical, productivity is higher in yards moved with the 6 cylinder we have found,,,,, we have faster turn around times on maintenance on the Hyundai's due to set up and design, easier access to filters and other maintenance consumables

Mike you need one of these old drag lines to play in your sand box Gunner would more likely take position of a history toy like that

The adjusted settings seem a lot like what LD18 runs on his 220s. The takeaway is that every machine can benefit from optimization, especially by someone who knows what it CAN do versus what it does out of the box.

I watch dgs channel ever since you mentioned them putting tracks on the gleaner 👌🤘

Thanks for sharing he was talking about using a brush cutter on it how hard or how much cost would it take to put on window protection grates

get the smooth first, the speed will come, watch your left ring finger in the swing lever slot, those edges get sharp, 78 speeders are nice,

Before you consider that old drag line, think of the kind of damage Capt Kleeman could do trying to learn to operate it. He could raze the market, the old offices and your new barn.

Pretty good there Mike. Those drag lines are a completely different breed of machine. Thanks for sharing.

I could tell a big difference after you made those adjustments. More smooth and more productive.

Interesting to see a drag line in use. Also interesting to see Mike in full attention mode as he actually had to operate a piece of equipment outside of his comfort zone. But he did it and was getting a feel for it in just a few scoops. Impressive.

good to see this side of the video from your view i saw Brandons vid. I used to see cable log shovels as a young kid in the 70's and even got to ride in a cab when the operator was loading big dog fir. Felt like it was going to tip over. lol I still think you should pull the trigger on the drag line in your previous video but only if you feel 100% behind the decision. riding along with you in your videos makes my day, thank you Mike.

Nice job in the drag line. Like a kid at Christmas. Stay safe

Comparison always make decision easier. Love the old drag line work - remember watching them many years ago.

Talking about how quiet the 220 was and how you could still hear the Linkbelt, I bet you could still hear Bubba Dump 4 hours away too.

Brandon a good dude another good channel. Good stuff thank u sir for all the vidjas

Mike the Ole L2 Gleaner is what bought me to Brandon's channel as well. I'm subscribed to most you Indiana fellas that have similar RU-vid channels including both of y'all's. Great video bud .

been watching him for some time, a cool guy to watch, thanks for putting me in touch 👍👍

Yo Mike ... you didn't re-examine the 220's fuel burn rate after you made the adjustments ... at least I didn't catch it. Would be interesting to know ... and cool job on the Link-Belt ~ being a true "Operator", you picked it up nicely !!! Grandpa used to run them ... down on the Panama Canal ... and "Steam" powered (Buckets the size of your house ... no joke).

Frickin" Loved the Long Line.

Great video and comparison. I watched draglines nearly every day growing up, only they were a whole lot bigger. Coal mines were all around where I lived.

I think it’s great that you take the time to visit other content creators. Love watching the old iron at work!!

There are three things that the draglines excell at over an excavator: first is the amount of reach they have without having to move around the hole , second , is just how deep do you want that hole to be ? You can cut benches with the hoe , but once the water comes in you're done , the draglines just keep on going, and third is the cool factor , you might get a few guys watching the hoe for a short while , but the draglines will have a crowd of little boys with grey hair and beards standing around mesmerized ! Hell , I still have the Michigan ( Clark ) truck crane that I got for Christmas of 1960 .

By the time you get back home your gonna have a list of machines and your gonna be trying to fiqure out how to talk the boss into letting you buy some of them.good video keep it up and carry on.😎😎😎👍👍👍

Don't caree if you paid just love watching you sling dirt . Your vids are very educational

Buy a smaller version of the link belt for the front lawn

The only crane type thing that I ever had a chance to run was in a log yard and the machine was about a year from the scrap pile. Have always wanted to run a dragline and you answered some of my questions on how to do it. I have been on a large walking dragline in Canada and Mike, you seemed to have the touch. The swing there seemed a bit slow also but the engineer we were with said that the tip of the boom was moving at 60mph. DP definitely has the bug. The old iron will be a coming. I was born in Brandon's end of the state and moved from Indiana/Michigan to northern Kalifornia almost five decades ago. Kinda nice to watch DP, Clint, and Brandon. I will have to say that I cringe at some of the things that you do there that would land me in jail out here. We have far too many agencies with far too many rules especially where it involves water and riparian habitat.

I watched my homeboy Dale running a dragline at an antique get-together once and he didn’t like the bite on the bucket so he re-positioned the chain mount on the bucket. He said it made all the difference and he’s old af so I had to believe him. I didn’t even try to run that old machine. I can make a fool of myself without wasting Diesel fuel. Trust me on this.

The guys at ran these kind of machines didn't know any different they weren't spoiled with what we have nowadays

Thanks for sharing your thoughts, ideas, adventures and videos. Looks like fun, makes me wish I could have been born earlier so I could have run the machines my dad had. Couldn’t tell you what exactly they were since I was prekindergarten at the time. Looking forward to seeing your experience if you make the plunge for some older varieties of equipment. I’ve probably said before but my dad had a dozer, crane with dragline and cable backhoe attachments and a earth mover with the front cutting edge into the bucket and rear paddles to empty. Wishing you and your family the best.

Ha! talk about bird nesting the wire on a drag line, when i was a kid my dad had a Bucyrus Erie think it was a 30. I got on that thing and in 5 minutes had the wire all haired up, took em' 2 days to cut it out. Dad never let me get on that thing again. The only thing wire operated he would let me run was the D7

That drag line will never stop functioning due to a sensor malfunction, or if the DEF heater quits.

love the old draglines my dad ran one in the landfill where he worked

That was impressive rookie dragline operations DP. I will check out the Dirt Grain Steel channel. Nice video. Thank you.

Hello all from Siesta Key Florida

Looks like the dirt we have here on cape cod !

They are a different animal for sure.

I love the rattle of the chains on the dragline. It's like Santa is dredging the pond.

Look forward to seeing you load Buba Dump with the drag line.

Regarding the old stuff. You could have one if you pulled the pin on the one you just looked at to!!!!!

Need one of those

Already miss your fast setting on the 210. Gotten used to your swing speed.

The Link Belt is definitely a "long reach" machine. It is definitely an art to run one.

If you hang around too many more youtubers with big old machines, you'll need to add an axle to the Mack and the low boy trailer. That drag line is really cool. From the side lines the 220 seems more suited to rock and demo than the finer touch jobs. Like placing big rocks or bigger blocks on retaining walls or using that extra weight to knock stuff down. Or just hogging dirt into trucks. Too many cool toys and not enough time to play with them all.

When those machines were new, I was there, as a young man, whenever we saw one setup, watching in amazement, as the operators would literally sling those huge buckets way out beyond the tip of the boom and haul back huge loads of dirt in seconds while digging out canals and retention ponds and even whole subdivisions dredged up from the swamps of Louisiana! By end of the day we'd have a 40 to 50 foot new mountain range to explore!👏🏽 👍🏼☺ So if you got's a bad a case of Dragline Possession... I totally understands!☺

What a super cool guy" Burn the brakes up no big deal.." Snap a cable oh well...LOL

Well done good instructor then just practice good on both

You got to admit that is a very lovely machine and it sounds beautiful too I think Chris might want to play with it oh yeah I forgot to mention Chris is working on a basketball project can you say excavator grapple basketball that's the new competition I think you're going to have to compete against I don't know just checking out

Good morning all sorry i'm late to the show, cov has kicked my ass. Have a great day all!!😀😀

Great job keep up the good work

I think it’s funny with the fuel burn per hour a 210 or 220 dose better than a tl12v2 skid steer and moves a lot more dirt

Man Dp that drag line is awesome I was watching you all them levers drive me to drink. that's a job I would like to have.deff a different type of breed cool video 👌✌️👍😎🇺🇲

With your settings, the amount of fuel it burns per hour will probably be higher. But, the work gets done faster so less hours needed for the same amount of work. But that's probably why it looks like this bigger engine didn't use as much more fuel as you thought it would.

JUST A KID AT HEART

My first time running the drag line I had a 350 international haul truck Sitting in front of me to load needless to say I didn’t do very well have a great day

Very interesting to see how close the two Hyundai machines are the extra weight is the biggest difference it seams when it comes to choice and application! The drag line was fantastic and you certainly picked up the basics fast ! No wonder your now on the look out for one 😂😂

Looks like your catching on there buddy

I did enjoy that very much thats for taking us along with you and yes get your self a draglink 👍🤗

Does the software know where the tracks are in relation to bucket teeth? He grabbed a bucket and it looks like he came close to the tracks at 11:11 and 12:10 with a heaping bucket. That would be a great feature for rookie operators. Imagine trying to get on grade in a pipe trench with that drag line. That would be skill. Good job.

Pretty cool! Nice work.

Good night to all gotta go to bed get ready for work at 7.30am

I remember watching draglines operate back in the early 1960s and thinking it looked like fun. It also looked easy. Somehow, now, operating one that belongs to someone else doesn't seem to be either fun or easy. (Well kind of fun, but definitely not easy!)

Toys and more toys boy what a day for you !

Keep up the great work

Hope you put the 220 back in slow swing for the other guy. He might not be pleasantly surprised.

they should use polycarb windows with stone guard. things are more likely to bounce, not break.

4 years ago I was asking you if they had any dragline around you for sale , now you are all over them and bought one….. time changes perspectives

Enjoyed this video bro, ya dragline stint went well too. Safe travels

It’s awesome how u’s guys share and get along. Mike please go to pa and teach Andrew a few things about the dirt and clearing world. I don’t want to see him get hurt. 🤓
