how do they know exactly where to dig on every scoop?

@cnote4461 They have a computer display that shows how the machine and the bucket are positioned. I think there's a certain amount of feel involved, too. If you look around I think there is a video that shows the inside of the cab and the display.

i got a dumb question. what are the digging there for?

[trackhoe23]

@24dodgecummins1 They were deepening the river channel so bigger ships can get in without hitting bottom.

Haha, thanks! Always got somethin new on my channel.  It's nice to see a good quality video of one of these beats working. I especially liked how you showed the bardge moving.
