  • This is a monument to man that should stand at least tens of thousands of years, thankfully it wasn't scrapped for the metal.
  • This is going to be a raider base in the apocalyptic future.

    I got to see it running in the early 60's. I remember standing next to the side of the strip pit and it was right in front of me. It was fairly quiet, being all electric, and I remember that it seemed as if the ground shook every time it took a bite. It was a sight to behold! Very good presentation. Thanks.
  • in 7 years youtube’s gonna recommend this to everyone mark my words
  • 11 years seems like a short life for such a large investment.
  • From an engineering standpoint machines like this fascinate me. It's not just a case of making something bigger, there are physical limitations that come into play.
  • I am glad the Brutus and a cutting torch never got together. Awesome machine in deed.WHAT A BIG BEAUTY !
  • I heard when Brutus drives it actually stays still and the earth rotates under its tracks
  • when i was a kid there was nothing there but brutus. we climbed him and explored freely. that was in the 70's. we camped in the dipper and it was the coolest thing.
  • This is huge. You really can't get an idea of how massive it is until you get inside. Great video.
  • I live a mile and a half away from big Brutus and I never appreciated the size because I though they were all that big because I went as a child. One of the most impressive feats of engineering sitting in my backyard in the middle of no where kansas

    God, imagine a killdozer event but with this.
  • I didn’t see any cup holders where the captain sat. I guess technology wasn’t very good then. lol.
  • I can only imagine what our descendants would think if they stumbled upon this monstrosity a few centuries from now.
  • I actually worked as a welder for 'Bucyrus-Erie' at the Pocatello Idaho plant in the '70's. This type of electric shovel is dwarfed by the 'Walking Drag-line' Class of electric shovel (a full size bigger). 'Big Muskie' was one of those. Guinness book of records holder for many years.
  • The elevator was primarily for bringing oil and grease drums up into the machinery room of Brutus.
  • I'm glad Brutus whent here, Instead of just being abandoned or dismantled. Brutus looks like he is in good shape. What a GREAT treat to be able to go inside Brutus and look.
  • These kinds of machines are the ones that no one would believe existed unless one was still around like this. Monsters like this are legendary and nearly mythological now.
