I love watching this all the time, makes me happy to be a Hitachi operator myself! I'm on the smaller end of this video lol, Zaxis 200 and HD-205 komatsu rigid dumper

Nice footage... Excellent continuity.

Hi eh3500acll, I really like this video showing just a few of the largest face shovels and matched to the appropriate trucks. Thank you so much! Take care, mrbluenun

Lol you did a fantastic job of filming it mate, and you were certainly close up to the 870!! Really shows the size of the beasties well. Nice work

I suppose the EX2500 has the MTU 4000 V16 engine?

You could have a party on the back of one of these. With a BBQ of course :)

What is bieng mined by the first machine?

DAMN GOOD VID. NICE JOB

So Hitachi 870, I am assuming it is an 80 Tonne excavator?

are they mining sand ?

Nice video. Thanks.

It's a logo of a well-known mining and construction attachement manufacturer called JAWS. :)

Hitachi are a good machine, had the good fortune to operate all the machines featured in the video except the EX 875,1250,2500,3600,5500, not as good as JCB though

Very well done.

Is that a dolphin carved on the face of the shovel?

A cab cam would be great viewing. Good video.

I simply can't understand why these huge excavators don't have a massive hydraulic accumulator system to make cycle times faster and give them more breakout force... simply don't get it. It actually takes energy to stop the bucket rotating when loading. All that energy is wasted! The engine would work much more efficiently, you would burn less fuel and do more work.

great video! operators or machines seem to be a bit herky jerky on a couple of them though!

Yes Hitachi obtained Euclid gradually increasing its share in a joint venture with VME North America. Euclid-Hitachi became Hitachi Construction Truck Manufacturing on January 1, 2004, and the famous Euclid green was replaced with white and Hitachi orange. The Euclid name was phased out by the end of the same year.

ex1900 seems to have very short tracks

I have a ex160!! I really enjoyed this thanks. and check out the ex8000!!! 👍

Hitachi, Only way to go !

ماشینهای بسیار زیبا و قدرتمند

5500's are good diggers for reliability, but they are pricks to drive. So rough!!! You need a foot on the windscreen to keep you in the seat.

muy fresco estas máquinas

Really nice video dude.... I'll order the last one... EX 5500

Some pretty nice angles you captured there. A little choppy but, I like the shots you got. I guess I can imagine the voice-over - narrative steering the video around from shot to shot. Nice job in that respect

INCREDIBILEEE!!!!!

bela maquina, gostaria de operar uma dessas um dia, hyundai 160 lc é fóda.

Hi mate, I love this clip myself, let me tell you I was standing REALLY close when I was filming it, ha-ha-ha!

as Cool and Awesome these Excavators Sound and look like. But another Fact is that this Video is Desctruction of Mother Earth at its Finest...I always ask myself what happens to Humanity one day.

Great Piece of Machinery' a little side note; although I have no answer as to why, although I would like to think I know why but don't" John Deere makes the vary same copy hoe as the Hitachi; Now that was some many years back John Deere had an arrangement with Hitachi; I seen the John Deere, a few of the Deere hoes; From what I knew they where spec' out as being the same machine: But Deere just didn't put the money in to it: ether way it doesn't matter to me: No idea what came of it: I'm retired now so it really makes no mind: I been pro cat all my years as a HDR/W - operator; at the same time as a HDR/W when it comes to Machinery I rather work what has shown it self to be a proven piece of equipment: There is way to much junk out there: I wont wast my time working on some machinery: It sort of rips my back side that Cat some odd many years back moved a lot of there division to Mexico: So any more now I'm not so hot on them as I once had been: There is a lot more to be said' like when Hitachi was told by some heavy hitters from cat on a job bid offers where cat pretty much ended up giving there new line of Shovels away to keep Hitachi out of it: Talk about having the balls to tell Hitachi that there was no way they were going to allow the Hitachi to push there big shovels in CA; there was no way that was going to happen; Understand I'm pro cat; but in no way do live with blinders on" Hitachi told told cat in my words now; We don't need to sell anything of ours here in the US; Were Global bone heads; if we never sold an other machine in the USA it wouldn't make any difference to us: We only came to offer a top proven machine; they got up & left: Now look, Hitachi is every where; why because it is great hoe: ****** They invented, reinvented the way the hydraulics needed to be; For years these big shovels hoes by other company's just never could get them to function smoothly; Mitso makes a good shovel: it was doing it way before Hitachi got it's act together; fast machine back in the day; wasn't much to look at:
