@boostontap Yeh thats right , this one and MTWs are the only 2 still operating today. This one went into production around 1981-82 and mt thorleys around 1991-92.
Cant any of the dumper drivers back properly, man that used to piss me off parking to close, after you "bag load" them a few times they get the message. I had one guy near every time, i even got out once and showed him how to back his truck but would keep parking to close so I dropped load near into his cab. He thought I the bucket must have been hanging from a sky hook.
Thanks very much for posting, after knowing of this shovel for many years and the same for the family owned group it was great to finally see it in the iron a couple of weeks ago but you went one better and got to see it doing it,s thing. Good to see truck 10 still doing it,s thing as it was at another mine i worked at for a number of years.
the only other 5700 i know of is at MTW
