"Earth Eater" bucket used at Freedom Mine

- The Coteau Properties Company, which operates at the Freedom Mine near Beulah, ND, has a new bucket in rotation.
Earth Eater is the name the manufacturer gives this particular bucket, but its the style of the bucket that matters to Operations Manager Justin Burggraff. Burggraff said the placement of the chains, on the outside of the bucket rather than the inside, and the weight of the material used to make the bucket, are what should heighten productivity. When the chains are on the inside, they made it harder to carry the bucket. You had to pull it in closer to the machine to pick it up and carry it. And in addition, when the bucket dumped, the chains on the inside would only allow the bucket to go near vertical, but not vertical, Burggraff said. Every bit of reach that the dragline can gain helps us. If the dragline cannot reach the dirt into the spoil pile and build the correct spoil pile, they move less dirt than what they are projected to move, which means another piece of equipment has to pick that up. So, its important to us that the dragline is able to attain its maximum reach.
Burggraff said the buckets performance will be closely monitored to compare it with other buckets.
The Coteau Properties Company has five dragline buckets in rotation, two of which are this style.

Awesome video! That bucket is really a smooth operating bucket! I have never seen a bucket cycle as smooth as that one!!! WOW!! I know that replacing the "teeth" on buckets can always be a "fun" job for the poor welders. Every minute the dragline isn't digging, that's money the mine isn't making so you can imagine. Having extra buckets is always nice to have around. Great video again & that dragline is really nice looking!!
@brocparsons Without a doubt that plays a big part in it. Just as big a part, almost, as the material they are digging in and how well it has been shot. But, the bucket is a smooth bucket and one that I know many enjoy using.
Chains on the Inside . . . NEVER Heard of it...!!
And IF I never heard of it at 68, (started running Draglines in 1971) it Must NOT be...✅👍😎

With the exception of video, I’ve never even seen a dragline and I was wondering the same thing.
Ive never seen a bucket with the chains on the inside....ever!
Good old production Buckets in their day
Ya don't reckon the bloke behind the sticks might be why its so smooth bud?
nice video!!!
So I wonder if this ‘new’ style bucket is strong enough to have all the rest built like it?
good stuff!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Never seen a drag bucket with the chains on the inside? Bucyrus Erie HPS buckets. Chains on the inside. Check out this other youtube video. The very first slide show on on Ursa Major a 2570WS in Wyoming.
These Buckets Are Built Not Far from where I live, Capella Queensland Australia. GO Aussie Oi Oi Oi!!!
Forgot the link. Can't seem to get the link to post. Just search Bucyrus Erie Ursa Major.
you can out run it on forward and reverse, it doesn't run on tracks and the the boom can swing at speeds of 200km/h on 360 rotation
Llke them bid shovel I use work on the big one that Peabody coal for .years it great job 3850 BE.
Can I run it?
wish i had one too. lemme weld it forya.
its big like the Big Muskie
It's a big one, but Muskie was still significantly bigger.
Like those hard hats will save you from that bucket if it falls on your head???
It's so we know they're construction workers.
What do u want them to put on?Fedoras??sun hats??
Yup , that bucket will bounce right off the hard hat 👍
Showing your stupidity, they are for falling debris,tools etc.
