Liebherr R9250 Cutting Into a Lift

[liveevilliveevil1]

thats not a backhoe

[PAmining]

@liveevilliveevil1 Now before you go saying that have you any fact to back that statement up. Have you even looked on Liebherr's website and viewed the 9250's product brochure??? Because right on the machine's brochure it clearly says "Backhoe attachment" "Front shovel attachment". Secondly, most people who actually WORK in the mining industry often have different names for heavy equipment than people who don't know what their talking about.

Poor performance by managment if you have to dig like that all day.

[Tristan729]

Quite the amazing the view Justin! Great work as always :)

[ozzypartridge]

a poor performance the operator can not fill the bucket he is sending the trucks away half loaded he has the machine set up wrong you should not be swinging 180 degrees

[PAmining]

@ozzypartridge It's not the operator, it's managment who want the setup and trucks loaded like this...screwed up and in-efficient.

[jimbo10003]

it looks weird with the upside down cilinders on the boom, some of the blokes i spoke to dont like these so much and prefer the komatsus or hitatchis

[PAmining]

Upside down? Are you blind because that's how almost all mass excavators have the boom cylinders setup. Every operator or company has a different opinion about a brand machine

[tarheellax92]

Is all of that background noise from the backhoe?

[PAmining]

No that's actually from the big drills working near it.

[Bauzaunvideos]

!!!!AWESOME!!!!

[jrand33]

whats with the slats on all the windows wouldn't that impeed visibility?

[PAmining]

Those are sun guards to block the glare on the operator, and no those don't really affect visibility.

[cottonkid26]

Just wondering, how much does one of those cost new?

[PAmining]

$3.5 million dollars for a 9250.

[farmboy26ful]

Very cool, is that a ME stick??? lol

[PAmining]

Thanks. That's a standard backhoe/ME configuration for the 9250

[Bomaz727]

Awesome machine! What size haul trucks was he loading.

[PAmining]

85 and 90 tonners. The Cat is 85, the Euc is 90.

[alco424]

Looks pretty slow, and is he afraid of actually filling up the trucks?

[PAmining]

I figured you'd make a comment about that. I agree about the trucks, but that's how the boss wants it. Second, speed isn't everything. Being smooth and not banging the machine means alot for production.

[THETRASHKING1]

is that a new machine to replace the old demags



[PAmining]

Yes, replaced a 1986 Demag.

[tarheellax92]

Whatever mine owns that sure did make a good investment

[Bobtrucker123]

Awesome video.

Thanks.

Are the controls on the larger mining excavators like this one the same as smaller machines, and what douse it take to become an operator for one of these??

[redheadedduckhunter]

@casecx700 From what I have seen they are, but you add a manual slew brake into the mix whereas in the smaller excavators (ie cat 320) the slew brake is automatically applied.

[PAmining]

Basically yes. Years of experience. A machine this size isn't what you start a first time operator out on. There's a lot you need to know when operating a mining excavator and it's not just how to run the machine.

[casecx700]

@PAmining thank you
