Four to pull and two for added braking I believe. Impressive!

Wonder if it came from a closed mine in the States. Paul

Can someone explain how the front 4 rigs work? If it were a train, there would be multiple unit controls in the leading unit that controlled the functions of all the other locomotives in consist. How do these rigs coordinate their power?

Hah- go to OD's first picture. Think those tie down chains on that bucket are anything but decorations? :)

On another note I wonder how many hydraulic pumps these things have? I imagine one for each function?? Biggest thing I've ever run is a PC 300-can't imagine sensation of curling the bucket on this thing-then again, you are not worried about "feeling" for a buried conduit! :D

Possibly - and they would have to be big at that. Think of the gallons per minute it would take to operate those cylinders.
