@modernhumble Yes almost hydraulic excavators can be switched over to a backhoe. It's what you call the machines configuration- as a Backhoe or Shovel

Excellent vid, love the Komatsu shovels, I'm looking at least 5-7 years before I can get on an O&K here with my company in the oilsands. When I'm getting loaded I notice that they seem almost too fast for there size, and I mean any video of the RH400 on YouTube does not do it justice. At aurora we run 9 electrics and 2 hydraulics.

excelent footage, mate! I wish I had the money to get on the training course! -First thing I would be doing with my lottery money if I won! Its a bit quicker than the rope shovel, only load about half as much but some companys are going for the bigger faster option now!

Fantastic vid Justin, shame its inly 5 mins long. I could watch all day. Think the second dumper driver was caught not paying attention and the shovel had to wait. How many passes to fill the 785s? I would guess at 4

[PAmining]

Thanks! Nope, shovel operator was just busting his balls (he's good at it) lol. 3 passes in soft material. 4 in hard material.

Great camera angle! Was the driver of that second truck hung over from a hard weekend or something?

[PAmining]

Thanks! Haha, no they were just busting each others balls

[ToonandBBfan]

thanks for another great video

looks a good machine does it have the break out force to dig unshot rock?

[PAmining]

Your welcome! Its all German engineering.  No machine can dig through unshot rock lol. That's why you blast

[doZerrpowerr564]

what do you prefer cat or komatsu?

[PAmining]

In hydraulic shovels? Komatsu. These are German (Demag) designed machines, top knotch

[LamborghiniRulez]
