  • Nice Vid Mate, Is it an 8050?? Cheers thanks for posting LOZ

  • @lozarok

    Yes, it is an 8050. They also have a 2550, and 8200 mining phosphate rock.

  • dont you have to take down the suspension ropes from the boom back to the mast?

  • @jezuscwh

    No, if you did that the boom would fall. The drag ropes are taken off the boom, and restrung from the drag drum to a sheave arrangement at the back of the rear suspension tower. The back support legs of the rear suspension tower are then unpinned, and at that point the rear tower and the boom are hanging on the drag ropes. The boom is lowered using the drag contol. Once the boom is down , the suspension ropes can then be removed and changed if needed.
