Great video, I operated a 8750 for 28yrs in Alberta

See it everyday, it’s about 10 miles from my house in Cross Tx.
-
As already stated: one of the best videos showing a dragline in operation I have seen so far. I often asked myself how a dragline can be used to remove overburden. This video finally solves the mystery. Thank you!

Beautiful machine and awesome video!
-
My buddy does it again!! The principal of a dragline is just like scrapers, once the cutting edge (or in this case teeth) hit the dirt it never againstops until dumped at its final destination, just like a scraper!

You get an idea of how big this thing is with the shot with the Dozer behind it. I saw a dragline in operation in FL as a teenager, the drag bucket was so big, you could drive a rock truck into it. The amount of materiel it moved in an 8 hr shift was mind boggling.

So awesome. Probably the best video on you tube of a working drag line. Thank you sharing and keep up the great work!

my old man swung one of these for years here in aus., used to go with him to work on school hols sometimes as a kid.. huge eye opener then, still is now.. pity the machine sits dormant these days, fresh off a multi million $ overhaul, then parked up 5 or 6 yr ago now :/ built back in ~1985 or so

Great video. The 8200 is a good machine. Beautiful cream digging there, hardly a rock in sight. Just what a dragline operator dreams of.

The moans and creaks it makes as it works makes it sound like a living creature!

Nice vid! I like close ups of the bucket in action though!👍☘️
