Wheel loader working in coal mining az8vb

Finally an operator on this channel that can get a full bucket of material.I 'be been moving coal most of my life & I would say that bucket is lifting 23 to 25 tonnes of coal per bucket depending on density & moisture content, Good job.It may look slow but the fewer moves the old Cat has to make the faster the job gets done. This is an ancient Cat. The newer ones have smaller bucket levers so your hand doesn’t have to actually come off the other lever. Almost can be used by your fingers. This one here is an old girl but will run for years. I used to run a Komatsu, 3 lever with the 3rd as a side dump for the bucket for tight spaces, and more accurate material dumping. Great vid though
