Trip to Hudson Breaker
Duengeon Master and I drove up to the Hudson Anthracite Breaker today. Had to get some Nut. Nice little road trip, the weather cooperated. I got about 2 minutes of video while there. It only took the loader about 2 seconds to fill the truck....

He used to just about fill my 5 ton lift with same loader. If the truck box was as wide as the scoop he could easily fill it.

Nice piece of video. We all like the movies. I can see from the size of that loader,one false move on that set of levers and you would be replacing two blowouts!!!! Yikes. How much/ton are they charging now at Hudson? Mike

Makes sense to me, anyone who has been to a coal breaker knows there is never any excess coal laying around anywhere...

You would be surprised How many owners & operators in the coal industry don't burn coal for heating in there homes or
businesses Nothing new . I guess some feel being they work with it 6 days a week they don't want to mess with it when
they come home from a 8 to 12 hr day .

He Definitely knew how to operate the bucket. I was amazed at the size of it, and how close he could get it to Duengeon master's truck. He knew exactly how much to put in it.Richard S. wrote:He used to just about fill my 5 ton lift with same loader. If the truck box was as wide as the scoop he could easily fill it.
