Old Excavator - Bucyrus-Erie

A Cable Excavator at Field Day of the Past in Goochland, Va. I don't remember exactly, but I am pretty sure this is a Bucyrus-Erie excavator. Not sure of the model. Takes a lot of skill to run this effectively.

Hard to say. The 25B is an upgraded 22B with air controls and bigger undercarriage and bucket. If we could see the controls that would probably tell us for sure. I think I can hear air hissing when it stops swinging. My guess is 25 B.

@trackhoe23 I can tell you that this one did have air controls.

Could still move a lot of dirt with the old girl.

could very well be a 30. great old machines Erie built.

I think it's a 30B

this looks like it could be a 22-b or even a 25.....looks like a 3/4 yard bucket . the tracks look longer then usual

Is that a 22-B?
