  2. Digging in the Shadow of NEMO

    This part of Oosterdokseiland was a building site back in 2011, and I rather enjoyed picking my way around the fencing. NEMO's great green copper hull sits across the water like a ship that has run aground on purpose and this afternoon it had a proper foil in the foreground: a battered Caterpillar 385B from Oudtzwanenburg's demolition crew, parked on a churned slab of rubble and looking entirely unbothered by the architecture behind it. Fifteen years on, and the island is all glass and […]

  3. China excavator upgrade: Hinges and latches for the rear door.

    Because in order to get to the engine you had to unbolt four big bolts, two of them from underneath, then lift off the door. Then lift it back on and fiddle in the bolts. Made it super annoying to check the oil level or hook up a battery booster in winter.

    I ordered these parts just after getting the machine last year and finally got around to installing them.

    Fits nicely, the door swings open wide and can be lifted off the hinges if need be.

    Now the oil can be checked as often as it should. And it saves precious time.

  8. Next job: Removing the concrete pylons that formed a foundation for a greenhouse that must've collapsed some time ago.

    We want our kitchen garden in that area (the soil is great), but a bit further from the big spruce as its roots compete with anything we tried to grow there last year.

    The huge concrete beam is a little on the heavy side for my machines. You can see the excavator at tipping point there, but just about lifting it and I did wheelies on the tractor but managed to drag it out the back gate with some tricks.

    One more to go.

  12. This was a great photo trip, I was leaning over the fence at an old opencast site to photo The Ace Of Spades, a giant walking dragline excavator, which was being decommissioned and destined for a Indiana mine. The boss saw me and came over and invited me in for a proper look round it. Fab bloke, and a fab experience. I like the photo of the cab as it was and after being rebuilt in Indiana. #Excavator #Dragline #Coal #Opencast #Industry #Stobswood #AceOfSpades

  17. Since our nightly visitor didn't want to do it, I had to clear the driveway myself. Put the grading bucket on and practiced a bit in the yard. Not great, but works better than the dozer blade using arm swings, but not really the right tool.

    Great for pushing those snow mountains further out though, as they're getting too high to throw over with the shovel.

    Cleared the bulk with the machine, taking shoveling breaks to warm up.

    We can leave by car again if we want to.

    Cut off from the barn in the meadow with the old firewood though. The path is just over the hill and the snow drift is too deep for the tractor trailer. Almost got it stuck there and turning was a struggle.

    No big deal, the new firewood is ready with a bit of cubby drying.

  21. VOD is up from this morning’s #EuroTruckSimulator2 run: Östersund → Tornio → Kuusamo. Hauled a 15-ton wheel loader on a lowboy into Tornio (with a quick repair stop after the truck kept screaming about empty air tanks), then grabbed an excavator and rolled through Rovaniemi on the way to Kuusamo. Also featured: speed-limit whiplash and the GPS trying to take me on side quests. Watch: twitch.tv/adventureadjacent

  22. When you're sweaty and tired from potato digging by hand and you've got the excavator out anyways...

    It worked, of course, but I'd need an assistant to pick up the potatoes. Hopping on and off all the time is very inefficient.

    Also easy to miss a few when you have such a big shovel of dirt.

    Much less sweaty though 🤔

  23. Interesting machine in the water.
    They're de-silting the #pond in the park to improve the flow of the water through it. The #amphibious #excavator looks like fun, a bit like something from #Thunderbirds 🙂

  25. Scavengers and Excavators: What’s the Difference?

    A one page article on how ruin exploring excavators, also called ‘diggers’ are team based, get -rich-quick minded operators, while scavs tend to be loners, and survive off low grade salvaging at the outskirts of ruin areas.
