I talked him into putting his mining videos on youtube a couple years ago. Watch one of his more recent ones with the Marion 7820. That operator is already swinging just before he pulls the bucket out of the cut. The bucket is practically behind the boom tip most of the time. That machine has I think, a 300' boom on it with a 40cy bucket installed. This is why you want the point to swivel.

So it's you who's the guilty party. I gotta say thanks for doing that because I watch every one of his videos and I love 'em.

This machine just gets better and better.

Another few hours. I still need to pocket out the spokes on the sheave but I have my mill tied up with a job.

WOW looking good, Must be a thing about Guys named Steve and machining ability.

I'm jealous, sure wish I could do that... Should have actually went to my metal working class in high school.

This is a very impressive machine Steve, good work.
