Wow!! That critter could bury a pipe well below the frost line in this part of the country anyway.

wow!

Needs an engine rebuild.

Hi, ROME K/G.
There's a pretty good chance that it has done a few more hours of work than your average chain saw does too.

Oh, I'm sure!

they had that up at a mine near me a few years ago do a 100' foot deep slurry wall of clay so the potash didn't leave. I made a lifting hook to go on the boom end of a 349 (i think ) . they took the stick off and was using for lifting to build it. i think they said it was D10 rails is what the chain is.

Hi, Mog5858.
Just looking at it, I could believe the D10 track rails bit. With the right digging bits on the chain, i reckon that jigger would take some stopping.

That's a Trencor 1860HD....Worlds largest rock trencher 230-250 tons working weight.....Power is a 3512 at 1250 hp for digging chain and a 3306 for travel.....The digging chain rails are four D10 sized track chains. There were only about eight or ten of them built. They are all still around. I had the pleasure of spending time around one on a huge water supply project in Texas and also some other massive trenchers and "road miners".....Here is a link to my video of the 1860 I was on in Texas. The digging chain is and boom can be made up in many configurations.....The one I was on is much wider but digging depth is about 10 feet. It was owned by TekRock trenching. The one above with the long boom is working on a cut off wall in the Florida Everglades and is owned by H.L. Chapman construction company......H.L. Chapman is the largest rock trenching contractor in the world and owns many dozens of very large trenchers  

Hi, TimT.
Welcome back. Thanks for the input and the video, The rig in your video is sure spitting out some material. What sort of distance would it excavate per day at that depth?
