Love the shorts. Thanks for the memories.

[@raventuretv9812]

We will never see machines like that ever again 😢

[@miningshorts]

Very unlikely indeed!

You can still tour Big Brutus is West Mineral, KS. It's an 1850-B.

Would have loved to seen those amazing machines at work, and have operated them. The time of the greatest and biggest earthmovers ever made is gone!

[@leroyaultmon]

I love this historical shovel 😊

The immense scale of these machines is lost on the modern viewer. Each single bucket held 100+ tons of earth.

The flickering lights killed it I can't even look at the screen. Go easy on the special effects man

[@phillipgarrow2297]

What about big muskie

[@zaxisontherun]

It's a dragline,not a shovel

Thrash. No match for an O+K bucket wheel excavator.
