Okay steve-now I get it-I saw the rocks but I didn't realize the dirt was wet. When I saw the bucket getting out of shape was probably when it was moving too fast (new operator in training
). Actually the model works a lot like the full-size machines. I notice they struggle working in rocks. One other thing I see when watching the real draglines is the buckets with-1-drag chain don't seem to be as stable as the buckets with double drag chains but that's just my opinion. Looking forward to seeing the house metal on.
