@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

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