Those look similar to machines that I saw at PCS Phosphate in aurora NC. They are f'n huge. The bucket looks like it came off a dragliner, which PCS has three of. They are about $100,000,000 each, and the oldest one is something like 50 years old.

Big muskie there has actually been dismantled except for the bucket. We still sell quite a few of the 495 Marion Drag lines, they run 140M-200M depending on options. We sold 3 to china last year. Though I'm sure they're trying their asses off to copy it for themselves.
