shouldn't have dubbed music over as much of the live audio as you did

This is amazing! Even if it's hooked up to a diesel generator it will still be way better.

Who holds the extension plug when you move to a different location? I see some operator running the cord over!

[glenrichards]

Don't run over the extension cord

[AB-twxb]

What size diesel generator is required to power this machine?

[Nudnik]

We had these in America in 1950s?
Electric Shovels.
Marion, PH, Bucyrue Erie, Lima all had Electrical drives...
Nice machine you made.

Isn't that dangerous to have the cable on the ground?!

[karlmonig]

Its a pitty that you did not include more parts where we could listen to the actual sounds of the machine without this annoying soundtrack :(

[joeylabourdonnais]

So u need to have a 👀👀👀 banksman or driver mate all the time just to keep moving the cable...👎👎

Come on Liebherr? Model collectors now have the new TA 230 in 1:50 scale so give us a R 976-E to go with it???

würde ich mit meiner Mulde über solche steine fahren, wäre ich schneller meinen job los als ich gucken könnte..^^ Ist ja echt wunderbar spektakulär was ihr da filmt, aber ferner vom realistischen alltag geht ja kaum noch...

So, how long does it take to charge it up, a year? How long will it operate for, a full 24hrs? And what environmental damage is done to make the batteries? What is the life exepctancy of the batteries? Can the batteries be recycled? What is the carbon footprint of each of these machines? And what is the cost? All the above questions are to be considered and compared against a regular fossil fuelled machine.
Putting aside the "green army brigade" arguments for the machine. The logistics, the charging, the overall ownership costs, environmental costs and relying on the infrastructure just to charge it up make this machine a waste of time and effort.
Fossil fuel emmissions have never been cleaner and for me the Greta gang need to accept that the world is not doomed by man burning diesel in diggers and vehicles but more at risk from super volcano extinction events, asteroid extinction events and nuclear war extinction events.

So ein Schwachsinn, Großbaumaschinen mit Strom Kabel 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂 Greta lässt grüßen.
