Welcome back to Mighty Machines! In today’s video, we will be looking at the top 5 largest excavators in the world.

 I love watching excavator and dozer at work and I never lie. Great fun video to watch.  I have loved draglines and excavators, since I was a toddler, over 65 years ago.  These machines are products of great engineering.  I can't help but think of the old cable and winch operated draglines and shovels, which were great engineering accomplishments, in their own rights.  The Big Muskie dragline had a 225 yard bucket, and would make these machines look like toys.  Sadly, it was scrapped decades ago.  I used to work at a mine in Minnesota that had one of those komatsu’s the video doesn’t do it justice! These things are insane! I can’t imagine those other ones!
 As if, watching this video noticed the North American sticker on the terex. I work on sites partnered with them specifically nanjv(North American nuna joint venture). We have many of their shovels but nothing that big on our current site… hitachi 2500 is our current biggest which is owned by North American.
