A 1963 Dragline excavator Built in borå in FINLAND We Did'nt have eany luck today with battery's emty and wires jumping outside of the rims . stuff like that...
WoW! That motor it tight! That machine is very impressive, for being so old. ( Almost sixty years old). Evidently, they make good stuff over there. I noticed one thing, though. The only digging depth, comes from the gravity weight of the bucket, whereas, on a hydraulic machine, the depth cab be operator controlled. Still. Was fun to watch. Operator sure knows that machine. Thanks.
First, that's not a "dragline". It's just a cable operated excavator. And as such, this type of excavator is really a genious design: with just two cables, you get a digging motion that works very well in the hands of a skilled operator (this generation of excavator was very common when I was a kid, many years ago, and i loved watching them dig). After some years of this the first improvement was adding a hydraulic cylinder to move the bucket, which was a major improvement when loading trucks and lasted quite a few years. After that the fully hydraulic machines came.
Clearly an elderly and well-worn machine. Interesting, nevertheless, to see him trying to make it work. And finding out that you can't push cable . . .
My Old man could run a cable machine and make it look easy. Whatever attachment was hooked to a Bucyus Erie. Or whatever brand. We got spoiled with hydraulics. Imagine running one of those all day. They were iron men.
Some days are like that. I never ran a cable hoe but did a lot of clamshell and drag bucket work. 99% of all the machines were like that one, straight manual. No air assist so I know that clanks and clunks of going between swing and propel and turning too. That one walks a LOT faster in the high side than the ones I ran. Nice old machine and the operator is VERY good! I also saw you waving. You had the EASY job! Nothing easy about wrassling one of the old manual rigs around.
I ran a drop ball in a quarry off and on till they got a hydraulic hammer. The clam bucket had to be set up right as far as cable length on the drums so one line didn't outrun the other. Took some practice in getting it all working together but it was very interesting after that.
Not only does the operator not know what he is doing. The machine is in very poor condition with the sheath keepers missing and the winch brakes either not working or not being used by the operator. Clearly the slew break is not working at all while the tracks refuse to lock. Time for a major service.
for many years I operated a 305 Koehring dragline. It was a machine that could do a lot or work, Great for sloping banks, driving pile for small bridges and also had a clamshell attachment. The machine he is running here is so much outdated. Not worth the effort.
Maybe this is some sort of parody? Finnish people are well known for their dry humor....! ^ ^ But interesting to watch though,because *old equipment is always cool..*
You see this a lot with older machines, take a worn out machine, give it little or no servicing and then beat the c%^p out of it trying to do something it was never capable of and then when you've broke it flog it for scrap. Another good machine being wrecked by incompetence.
I thought a roll over for sure, but bad day apparently was a reference to this guy getting out of bed. Like Sienfeld, this was a video about nothing, unless we were to laugh at the guy's stupidity while operating an antique shovel. Total waste of our time.

the depth " can be".

Very large showels are using electric motors and ropes to move their buckets like Marion 8500, P&H models and many others.

Thanx ! clamshell sound's like fun !? Did you try wrecking ball ?

Sweet !
this has to an instructional video on the operations and capabilities of the Jussi-474...wow!, look at all that material that got pushed around...
you can't figure out what he is doing because he dosn't know what he's doing
Captain Calamity had the right idea in the end, drive it into the forest & leave it there!

Can't pull the skin off a rice pudding.
8:30 steady up ! He just revs the guts out of it with no mechanical sympathy at all
At first I thought he was trying to dig tree roots out, but then I realized he was really just trying to show off to the girls walking down the road.

Looks like an Åkerman!
Indeed, a Finnish licensed manufacture. Even decades after that excavator was made, the Finnish import-service company was named Oy Jussi-Åkerman Ab.
Thats not a Jussi its a Åkerman 😞😞😞😞😞😞 or did they build them on licens in Finland ????
Engineer's top product!
Que calvario
digging a familí house basement = 1 year
Grymma grejer! Lite bläst och lack och den är som ny!:)

But interesting to watch though,because *old equipment is always cool..*
I can't figure out what he is trying to do ... !?
Puzzling indeed.
Nitramrec digging out a stump
looking for his wife
Thank God for hydraulics
Byggdes dom på licens i Finland för den ser ut som en Åkerman 475?
Precis! Firman Aug.Eklöf i Borgå.
Ja i Borgå av August Eslöv.
Life may just be a little easier if he licked the tracks. On the ones that I worked on this was an automatic function.
wonder how much is will bring at the scrap yard
One thing is for shure, it will not go to Polen! They take only new machines! :)

it lives!!
That's a nice old machine, But It would be so frustrating to run.
Man I'm so lost I don't know what to say
Finn = drunk
Any days a bad day for that guy....
I would scrap that thing so fast
thanks for commenting now i don’t have to suffer
If he was a Finn in America he'd just use 50 sticks of DYNAMITE
looking for sasqutch eggs,
...he was just moving it.
Hes digging a hole is that so hard yo see?
A Finnish Dragline.. can you drift it?
That was painful to watch.
I could have done more with a shovel in my hand
A kid with a wooden spoon could do more
Thats painful to watch,,,,i got half way through.
bad day for viewers
Time to drive that over a cliff.

William Reuter That's Finland for you in a nutshell...
Nice film! Looks very similar as a Swedish Åkerman from the mid 1950?
Licenstillverkad Åkerman. Heter Jussi i Finland.
did u say 1850
its sore to watch
A small hole on the roadside, eehh?
how to fill a hole that wasn't dug
Är det samma maskin än med linggrävare boom?

This is a test to use fuel without any sense

you think this is cool....wait til you see the Jussi 555....way before its time with modern innovative thinking....like coffee cup holders
