Weekend Steam II: Steam Shovel Action!

You will see some familiar machines in this video, because part of it was made at Rollag. We never get enough of steam shovels! Thanks to Merle for the link!

  1. Nice video and a good variety of machines.

    I wonder how long it took to get really good at operating it, and I'm also sure that none of the controls were placed in an ergonomic way.

  2. John, You build big arms running these pre-hydraulic machines! When I was working my oilfield job, the spudders and pulling units mostly used jaw clutches, manual gear shifts through long shafts and levers, and brakes that were strictly man-powered. Big arms!
