up here in Canada we still use the original mucking machine system in most small scale mining jobs as most larger modern muckers can t get in to the tiny ore workings
lol roof bolting = most dangerous... i run a dual headed fletcher stick bolter in pa's swickley seam... ive never seen a mucker..thats what scoupes are for. lol
16 ft cable bolts + 8ft super twist bolts..run 300ft per day with a half face miner and pin 310+ bolts per shift... i agree with smellis4 i work on the return side of the section.. air has to be 30,000 cfm in pa across the last open.. but its full dust..
As far as wearing a dust mask, i work on a super section with joy 15-14 miners and narco 21 buggys. We run on average 450-500 foot a day, anyone who knows anything about mining our air is no where near right. So all i am saying is if you want to talk about dust take a look at a miner section not a conventional section.

What a Pussy! I guess these kinds of shows are supposed to be funny for people who live in cities and work on computers or havent had a job at all. (Like my son).
I learned how to operate a less modern one of those ( You had to swing it by the handles manually from side to side).
It bucked. It bronked. It could pin you to the wall on the inside if you dug in the bucket and pulled the machine over on top of yourself.
So buddy focuses on his jaw. What a putts. Sure beats shovelling.
i think this is the most dangerous job, not only can u explode urself, get trapped or lost, mountain can crumble down, toxic gas but also u can get ran over by the massive wagon
It can't be good for your ears either. The loud sounds of the dynamite and the mucker are channelled within the tunnels, which can permanently damage your ears.
name is spelled Rothermel. we dont bolt the roof or ribs because we are in some of the hardest rock in the world. we dont use cutters in the coal. drill and blast is the only way that works on our scale. keep in mind that only 5 persons underground at this mine. we dont where dust masks but we use one hell of a lot of water on the rock
I lived pretty much around the corner from this coal mine. The water tastes like coal. The sides of the road has coal. I think my blood has coal in it. Hell, I was born in Coaldale.
Look into taking a coal mine tour in Ashland, PA. You can take a mine car ride into a mine to learn how mining was done.
I have ran a mucker before, one that you sit on, this looks like a mucker that a tard could run. For the record yes they do mine like this, shaft/slope.
i live in NE pa and the mine was closed by MSHA for a while but its backopen now and its only done by machines in bituminous coal mines where the pitch of the coal is flat...where as a anthercite coal mine its at very steep angles thats why they have to climb and let the coal slide down the chute into the car

The mucker is from the 40's and was replaced by more safe and effective methods in most mines in the 70's. Strange they are still using it..
