Gold Rush D10

Tony had a 16g in one episode. He loads with a 245 too.

I didn't see the 16G, but I definitely saw the 245. That thing is a legend!

They were pulling with it when they were taking the dredge apart. Can't remember what it was tho. Spent a lot of time in a 245 with a shear they are beast for sure.

Now I remember, yeah, that was something like a 16G, but I don't remember the number.

As for the 2-Series, yeah, I stood next to one a few weeks ago, and it is so solid, it's pretty incredible. It's really amazing that they even still work, and yet they work well!

The show is the show. I catch it on youtube when I remember around Tuesday or Wednesday. This type of show is always better before everyone goes all 'hollywood'.
I'm getting awful sick of watching tony rig and lift every-ting with fgukcing transport chain. That **** will get someone killed.

Secretly hoping todd hoffman makes a serious comeback. Packers doing well just not a hugh fan of his cockyness. Love tony beets but skip through his dredge bs atm as its boring.

Wonder if they added the pickup wreck after everyone started noticing the different grilles??

I'm hoping Todd get bit by a rabid dog and then contracts ebola. Did you see the little fit he threw when the truck drivers wanted to complain about the unsafe road? The same guys he made wade in the piraña creek last year while he sat nice and dry with his fat ass on the shore. The guys a douche

Just watched another episode last night. Tonys poor dozer, that thing looks beat on. Grouser pads broken off and crap.

Guys have to understand the price for any kind of equipment up there is tenfold of what it is in the lower 48. Even old equipment. I'm not saying im no expert, but when people are commenting on the old equipment, hey, it gets the job done still. I find the show very interesting myself, last year not so much when they were down in south america. Never cared to even watch that half of the episodes.

Anyone have any rough idea/ guess what it Costs Per yard to shift overburdened like in Todds mine a mile with two a40s and a 700 loading?

Well, direct costs or overall? If that was a bid job for me, I'd probably look for $5/yd³?? So, would probably try and move it for no more than $2? Rough enough?

Not sure I could afford ya.

 

[rmllarue91]

Yes thanks shimmy so I guess that haul isn't that bad if the ground had more gold lol

 

[rmllarue91]

Okay on two dollars a yard I figure there operating costs about 10 to 11 thousand a day operating costs. That sound about right?

If they are reading this I hope I'm at least close. I just kind if ballparked it, between the hoe and the trucks they're burning probably 60 gal/hr of fuel, throw in a set of teeth for the hoe per week, add 50% for the Canada factor, you have about $7000 per day direct cost. I was figuring 3500 yds per day. Wasn't figuring anything else because I have zero experience with a hoe of that size or wiggle wagons.
Just kind of assumed $3/yd³ should be acceptable for overhead costs and profit taking. Like I said, you asked for rough, and nobody else is stepping up.

 

[rmllarue91]

Thanks shimmy I'm just curious as to the whole process and any input is good. I'm just wonder what is considered the break even point per yard. To figure out if it's cheaper to move the plant or truck it. Also I wonder what it costs to run the loader wash plant and pump. When I seen the new pickups and now the ground isn't what they were hoping for its got me curious as to if they will even break even for this season.

 

[Shimmy1]

Well, I'm going to make a call here, probably WAY out in space, but I would not be surprised if they go back to the slop hole Dave was working on a month back. It's had time to thaw, they might just be able to pump the water out, and go to work. The whole drama thing, Dave is not stupid, I don't believe he would have wasted that time, energy, and $$$MONEY$$$ for nothing. Also, what if they have been losing gold like parker was? I saw a sliver of a clip that showed another, longer, single sluice running down the side of the main sluice. Wonder what that's about??

 

[clintm]

don't forget in all the brain storming that drama sell's. they did say something about 300yd per hr to the wash plant but who know's if that's just drama talk
