Haha, thank you for the support all these years! There will be a new short series coming out soon that I'm excited about, stay tuned!

I basically grew up with this channel, found his videos around 2010 ish, back when his channel name was different, am now in my mid 20s, and work in the marine industry around heavy equipment! still check in from time to time, glad to see him still going.

And he is younger looking than I thought.

Agreed, I love the high-lite green color of these trucks. Even the "look" of a Euclid is just mean and badass looking. Sadly today everything is yellow or orange. Oh, and I will be featuring the R190 in the future!

@@PAmining I’m definitely looking forward to your video doc. of the R-190.

I think in recent years the diesel electric is definitely making a big come back in loaders and dozers. And congrats buddy, hats off to all those years of experience!

Haha! Glad you enjoyed it!

Good idea, I’d watch.

Yeah, I always thought Euclid ended up with Terex?!

@@ahabeger Euclid spun off to White. Terex was what was left with GM. They developed competing lines of off-road haulers. My dad managed a Euclid/Terex/DD dealer at the time, and it was sure confusing.

That's an interesting request! I feel I wouldn't nail it as well as some people who make historical videos do on here just because of the lack of historical footage and copyright

Haha, awesome 😎

Thanks so much! I'm glad you enjoy the videos, there will always be new ones :)

385s a great machine! We have one at work to load 150 ton cat trucks with. The big iron is cool! I try my best to capture the sheet size of this equipment in my videos, but it doesn't always do it justice

@@PAmining to load 150 ton trucks? 😯 I'm loading 3 komatsu HM400, and a cat D400. 3 buckets in the cat truck, 4 buckets in the komatsu

Glad you enjoyed it :)

Thank you, glad you enjoyed it :)

Well thank you!

Cool, and thank you! Glad you liked it

My pleasure! 😁

You're welcome!

Thank you! Cheers!

I believe they have one R260 left running

Haha! Yeah she's big old girl! Thanks!

Haha thank you!

All my documentary's are scripted before hand so I get the wording right but they are filmed live. Occasionally I will do a voice over to correct something I messed up while filming. I also plan the whole walk-through before hand so I know what and what not to show and the route I want to take throughout the machine. Thanks!

White motor company, killing good company’s since 1900

It's awesome isn't it!

@imdavid28 One big advantage to the diesel electric system is that it eliminates the mechanical transmission. No torque converter, transfer case, differential, etc. This adds up to a substantial weight savings. The diesel electric system should be more fuel efficient due to a lower empty truck weight. Of course there are other factors involved. Maintenance of the diesel electric haul truck should be less expensive also. The downside is that to do the maintenance you will need mechanics as well as electrical technicians. Traditional mechanical drive haul trucks are still being built and in some applications they are preferred. To give you an example, Caterpillar has many of their giant 797 haul trucks operating around the world. Also we can refer to the legendary Caterpillar 793 haul trucks in the 240 - 255 tons class. So yes mechanical drive still has a strong presence in the mining industry, especially with the models available from Caterpillar. The battle between these two drive systems has been going on for decades. I’m pretty sure that as of 2024 the diesel electric drive for haul trucks holds a fairly comfortable lead in market share. Take Care.

@@williamhall9204thank you very much for explanation!

Essentially it's the foot brake on the floor, just activated by a lever. The purpose is to hold the truck in position while being loaded so the driver doesn't have to hold the brake pedal

Lmao 🤣🤣
