This video outlines my history with the Liebherr 9800, one of the world's largest hydraulic excavators.

We start in Colmar, France, the birthplace of each Liebherr Mining excavator. Liebherr was nice enough to have us for a tour years ago, my first glimpse at one of these monster machines.

But then, to see one at work, we had to travel down under to Australia, where nearly every 9800 made lives.

We take you through operations with Pembroke, Thiess, National Group, MacKellar, and Bravus, visiting five different 9800s working on three sites. Yes, I know I'm spoiled!!

    Hey Aaron, it would be cool if you could dedicate a video properly explaining double benching, single benching and top loading. A lot of people probably don't understand. For diggers in Australia, these are the only three methods used for digging dirt.

    It's incredible to see the sheer size and power of the Liebherr 9800 in action! The engineering behind these machines is truly impressive... 💪
  • @Harry_Gersack
    I really appreciate you giving us the technical data like that! Also the overall quality of this video was top notch, keep it up👌🏼

    Aaron - Greetings from Texas. I love watching your videos. I appreciate all that you do to travel to all these different places and produce this stuff! As an old dude, I love seeing young dudes, like you, willing to jump in, take some risks (like not knowing all of the tech specs) and just do it! I feel like a kid when I see all of the giant machines and projects that you present in your videos. Keep 'em coming!

    One scoop from that 9800 would probably double my lifetime total for digging and hauling. The scale of these machines is unbelievable!

    Another killer video. Thank you, Aaron. I love different videos of equipment working. Thanks for the hard work you and your crew do to get us these different machinery. Thanks for sharing and have a great weekend!!

    Absolutely incredible! It must be funny driving that dozer in the background, D10 or D11 looking like a smart car. 😂
  • @UncleManuel
    Liebherr: "How big should the new excevator be?" Mining company: "Yes." 😁😁😁😁😁😁

    The grease glob falling while you were in the bucket shot is hilarious. Splat and all. @7:52.
  • @NSPOOL
    I appreciate the extra data on the things.
  • @hauckcecilia
    I can not find a word to say how fascinated I am after seeing this!!

    Howdy from New Zealand, love your content bro! cheers!

    I'd hate to be the first one that uses the rear of the counterweight as a dozer blade. Excavator operators know what im talking about. Some companies will can you if you do. 😂 EDIT.... no matter the size of the machine.... sitting and doing nothing but loading trucks gets very boring after awhile. Especially when you do it for years. Im very impressed with mans capability to build such big machines and the power of hydraulics.

    This is truely one of the most impressive machines ever made, gave me a humbling experience building it in Lego
