2:52 woot

[Arabhacks]

I got banned from HEF, noted for writing in Spanish and am pro-union!

Other than that, and the fact that I feel the most of the rednecks are morons? that an playing with the NCIC system? nothing like an operator that hand you your entire criminal history, while on a quick safety meeting break from a pocket computer!

[Hobgoblin1975]

go to the pet store, buy 1500 hamsters , then get 40 rolls of duct tape and some 200 balls of yarn . Tape one end of the yarn to the hamsters the other to the stuck equipment, then throw out a piece of cheese.

[chavesbra]

Don't you hate photo presentations/power points? I do.

[D5NCAT]

hahahaha this where you ask your self as an operator how the hell did i get my self in this problem...... iv had one or to situations like this when i was a green horn operator

[realfacts]

This video brings back some unhappy memories. An operator called me about having gotten one of our old D8's (46A-model) into a 'predicament'. When I arrived barely an hour later only the top 2 feet of the canopy were visible. We got a 60 foot piece of 1" cable attached to a lifting eye on the top of the canopy and a day later had a 100 tonne crane struggle to inch the machine back up. What a nightmare. Recovery and repair cost more than the machine was really worth....

[uberstinky09]

ahh those are just minor accidents lol

[YaterSpoon86]

You've either gotten stuck or will be. It happens to us GOLDEN OPERATORS who get it done. The guys the boss calls on to get it done. No skirts boys. Iron is iron and as long as no one is hurt you gotta push the edge or you'll be that guy driving the boss's wife to get her hair done. You gotta take your skirt off every once in a while or how will you know what you and your machine can take? Just do it where the iron is the only sacrifice. Use your head but leave your vagina home.

[pickelmandy]

@Deere4400 LOL I have not been on there in a long time, I just go to see the pictures now and then.

[rjman159]

@ 2:45.....HOW?

[cheeptorque]

I THINK....that dragline pic (and the dumpers in the next one) was from a open cut coal mine in queensland australia..they got like a monsoonal storm (?) and the pit filled too quickly with rain water to get the equipment out.. & took literally months to pump out the water...it was on our local nightly news(TV)

[cheeptorque]

@3:00..the driver fell asleep

I know that because I know the guy who took the picture.

[HitachiZaxis450LC]

Do you know that for shure or is that a guess?

[cheeptorque]

@HitachiZaxis450LC ,,,I said I think... but seens ya asked.. I googled it.

21 January 2008 QUEENSLAND coal producer Ensham Resources has used helicopters to evacuate employees stranded at the flooded central Queensland mine.

Massive floodwaters cut through the mine on the weekend, with water engulfing one of the mines draglines.

(taken from the australian mining website which has that exact pic you see in this video)
