You know, this is the one instance in which your racist worldview is logical. If we had engaged in more racial profiling, the muslim terrorist attacks of September 11th could've been avoided.
I have an employee who could break that in an hour if it meant spending the rest of the day putzing around "fixing" it
Just send him out with a manual grease gun and a pallet of grease. When I worked at the mine it would take a while to do all the excavators

I'm going to say 750 million dollars. Speaking of big machines....on a bandsaw forum they were talking about blade welders. The blad is clamped at both ends and gets electrified and pretty much melts together. One guy chimed in that he works for a railroad and they have a welder that does that to railroad track. I think he said it was 440 volts 800 amps and weighed 75 tons.
Talking about trains reminds me of a story that I'll make a new post on. Look for the wild night pauline pulled a train.
Bucket Wheel Excavator............about 78 million U.S.
I watched that and when the captions said it was the largest land vehicle, I read it as the fastest land vehicle. Had to go back and check that.
Did you see the part where it had to drive 14 miles once? It took 3 weeks...lol

Sounds like the time sweet sweet Connie was doing her act. She had the whole show and that's a natural fact.

How much you figure one of these bad-boys costs?
Is that a mining excavator?
It’s an ice cream scoop for your mom.

Last year they delivered new engines for the power plant here. They had to counterweight the ship on one side to unload on the other. To deliver the engines they brought a truck that was driven by a handheld remote control by a guy walking along side it.
