Unit Cable Hoe

Nice work Scott. I see you went to chain drive on the slewing ring. How come you didn't go with a gear like your dragline?

Thanks Steve. When running the cable hoe you can run the side of the bucket into a truck or dirt pile and put a lot of stress on the rotate mechanism so, I wanted it to be very strong and reliable. The setup on the dragline works great but, it only has to move the boom back and forth and never gets struck or jolted hard.
