Yes smooth! You're welcome buddy!

@@PAmining VERY smooth but it is a Cat and the smoothness is there. Just takes someone in the seat to CARE enough to bring it out. I was hauling out from under a 988 once and the operator was all over the WORLD! Crash, bang. flop, thud and that was just him getting in the cab. He went to eat and I wanted to know if that thing was THAT jerky so in I went. Just like water pouring. You did a EXTRA fine job shooting this. Thank YOU, my Pal!

Yep,well fragmented material

I think the engine should be changed to be stronger

789e와

And the EU communists want these machines electric (ie battery) powered by 2030....

And people think these things are going to run on battery power in 10 years dream on!

Haha, that was my personal favorite shot :D tripods help for that kid of work. Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks!

Haha, oh yeah super smooth from hauling all that rock. Cheers!

Lucky man! Cheers and stay safe! -PA

Yeah he was pretty smooth. Thanks man!

You're very welcome, glad you enjoyed it!

Yeah I've seen many companies that will run buckets down to nothing and then swap the bucket out for a new one while the old one is getting completely rebuilt. All depends on how the company wants to handle maintenance.

I agree

Coal

@@PAminingWhere was this video taken ？Thanks 🙏🏼

They're stopping waste to get at coal, no crushers to worry about.

This one is a 2006. Thanks!

No they still make them

@404nitro The CAT 994 wheel loader is a very popular machine worldwide.You might be interested in checking out the CAT 994K. It weighs about 50 tons more than the 994F, and has a rated payload of 99,000 lbs. with standard boom as compared to the 994F that is rated at 76,000 lbs. As we see in this video the 994F is a highly productive loader with a skilled operator at the controls.

@@williamhall9204 Thanks for the replies guys. Yes, I have watched the 994K on another channel several times. It is simply amazing what those big loaders can do, especially with the huge coal buckets.

The sticks act as seat belt lol

1st day it would be a challenge but when you get used and tension is over you will work like the machine

I don’t understand your answer

@@terrellscaife2411 depends on the material and skill of the operator but i'd guess like 5-7 passes, the trucks in the video look like they are only a size or 2 down from a 797 and the previous reply he was trying to say, once you're used to the change in truck size you wont be as stressed so work would continue like normal, 988k operator btw only i load scrap metal not earth

Cool

30아드 버캇???

Good spotting,yes and you are right

I'm not sure where you're at but big loaders are way more popular anymore for stripping soft coal

@@PAmining live around a coal plant in Berlin pa pbs coals is the company

PBS has always been shovel and truck. Go anywhere else in PA and WV and it's almost all loader and truck

Excavators and shovels are more fuel efficient compared to loaders. They stay stationary and load only moving the boom, the loader has to maneuver the entire machine.

Ooooooooooo yeah lol

For every operator currently in the field there is a dozen more openings needing filled. I work for this company and the pit I'm in is five guys, 3 are 72yrs old and older. They retired and the bosses begged them to come back out of retirement just to keep the pit open. And we could use two more guys. It's bad. Real bad. It's amazing they won't come get a a job to sit on there behinds and play with levers all day. It's sad.

@@dustywelchcraneman6614 Tell them they can look at their phones for a few minutes after every truck they load, lol.

It does. It was my dream to run big iron. Be careful of what you dream for.

@@mikepowell1076 I've been running equipment as a profession for 20+ years I know what you're saying.

한 스콥에 40튼!!!

@Johnny Murff That CAT 789C has a rated capacity of 195 tons. As you can see, after 5 passes of the 994F the truck is fully loaded.Keep in mind that the CAT 994F is rated at 38 tons per bucket load.That load capacity is correct when the loader is equipped with standard boom arms.If the loader is equipped with high lift boom then capacity is reduced by a few tons. I hope I answered your question clearly. Take Good Care.

@@williamhall9204 Thanks a lot for your response, I've seen these videos and have always wanted to know, what happens to the material and how many tons are loaded thanks again for answering my questions. Keep up the good work, i like seeing blasted rock or stone and limestone and iron ore crushed and loaded and hitting the truck bed. Just the kid in me I guess 😆.

I heard from a mechanic that the Liebherr was a much better loader than the 994 was wondering if that was true

@@apecobbb707 As far as I know Liebherr does not make a wheel loader the size of the CAT 994. Liebherr manufactures mainly construction size loaders.I don’t think they go as high as a 12 yard rock bucket.The 994F in this video is equipped with a 25 yard rock bucket.Developed by CAT for the mining industry as well as large scale construction projects.Liebherr does make excellent mining class excavators and mining class haul trucks.

@Scott Masker The L-2350 is pretty much in a class of its own. The giant loader is equipped with a 53 cubic yard rock bucket. That bucket is basically twice the size of the CAT 994F rock bucket.

@@williamhall9204 I know. Why I said that. That cat ain't shit against L-2350

You have to get the 2350 out of the shop first.
