National Pike digging show vids
We has a blast again this year at the National Pike digging show in Brownsville PA. Steve and his son Mike brought his giant dragline and I brought most of my construction fleet. My cable Hoe got a lot of attention and many full scale operators ran it and enjoyed it. One guy Nick showed me how to run his 10B cable hoe and it was a blast, I ran it for about 45 minutes. It was a little easier to operate than a dragline. You just had to be sure to clutch the hoist right away when you let the bucket out so the bucket didn't drop when you were dumping. Steve made a nice dirt pile for us using a 1:1 skid steer. He made multiple levels to the site that worked well for the cable hoe loading trucks. The dirt had lots of rocks in it so Steve made a nice pile of cleaner dirt for me to dig in with my smaller equipment using his dragline. I made a haul road up one side of the site that was fun to run on.
As usual there were some unique full scale pieces of equipment at the show this year. There was an articulated tip/dump truck that both the dump bed and steering was electric powered and worked very well. I actually helped the guy unload it (helped guide it off the flatbed) I sat up on it and the dash was nothing but gauges and switches to steer it, very cool. He was towing it with a beautiful Autocar Rig (didn't have my camera with me at the time) that he showed all of the custom work that was done to the inside of it. A friend Sam that I met last year that likes to run my equipment and lets me run some of his full scale equipment had a "traxcavaor" it is a Cat loader with a bucket attachment on it and I helped him fix the bucket trip mechanism and he let me operate that for quite a while. Most of the equipment I mentioned is in the these videos so enjoy. RC Models http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zF2PF9d1Kss Full scale equipment http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RRxBpOnc3pw

Brownsville Digging Show pics and vids
Smallhaul Scott and I had a great showing of our models and were a huge crowd pleaser at this years National Pike Steam Horse and Gas show. I piled about 7ton of dirt under roof so we could work our machines "In the dirt" There were a few kids that were allowed to operate our models and they did a great job respecting them too! I made one kids weekend by letting him operate the 9W,I told him he was the forth person to ever operate my machine. He did very well keeping the cables tight. All in all we had only minor break downs and mine happened when we were loading my dragline onto my trailer and that was the same part that broke one year ago at the same time. I think I'll make a better coupling any way.

Re: Brownsville Digging Show pics and vids
Wow, you got a lot more pics and vids than I did Steve. Nice work
And you just had to post the vid of me snapping the lift cable on my overloaded Mack. Mods, can you just combine our two threads?

Re: National Pike digging show vids
The RC stuff was neat. The 1:1 stuff was amazing. There were some REALLY cool machines there - and the show area was HUGE! One question though. Was that Freddy that was being pulled around the show by that little lawn tractor?

Re: National Pike digging show vids
Thanks for combining them Steve. Yes, you should try and make it next year it is an incredible show. We really need a dozer, it would probably be working all day to keep everything clean of rocks and smooth out the haul road.

Re: National Pike digging show vids
The guy that owned it said the cable dump has electric steering and electric driven cable for the dump. I didn't look close at the steering to see how the electric motor steering works though. There is so much to look at and do when I go there I can never see or absorb enough info. One guy that was interested in my little cable hoe pointed out all of the machines he owned (cable shovels & hoes) and told me "you can run any or all of them if you like" and actually only ran the cable hoe the 10B. Next year I'll focus on running the 1:1 equipment every morning when it is cool and just run the RC stuff in the heat of the day.

Re: National Pike digging show vids
Steve-looks like you needed a little dozer work on the bench before you started your walk You got it moving though. Looked a bit touchy trying to load the dump truck with the dragline. Nice size comparison too! I guess that's what it's like with the real machines trying to load a truck. Emptying that giant bucket without crushing the truck. Did the extra angle on the teeth help the bucket dig in. It looks like it was working good. Great videos and pictures!

We did get fined by MSHA for not having a berm on the haul road Just look at the video of Scott's Tonka dump almost going over the edge Yes, the bucket worked excellent. That bend did the trick. I had no problem scratching up a full bucket load. I was even able to dig with the back of the bucket up slightly with tight hoist chains like it's supposed to do.

Re: National Pike digging show vids
I think you should get some freight quotes. Fed Ex is right at the end of my parking lot. You could send it here to my loading dock that would not be a problem. If not the Brownsville show, I am planning on attending the combined HCEA & ACMOC show in Bowling Green Ohio next year.
