What a great looking bunch!

That bucket is a little large for my needs right now. I think it's good where it sits.

I thought you guys wanted to see the size of the bucket, but I guess I was wrong. I'll see what I can find in the photo album. ;D

I had to have one of Tammy's brownies!  It came with the Pro-Sawyer Mary special cant hook (in YELLOWESHRED) you can see under Helper Brooke's chin.

I've been showing those hooks to everyone that comes to the mill that handles logs on a regular basis.  All are impressed.

The mill special would make a great "stocking stuffer" for Christmas. ;)

Looks to be the bucket of the famed "Big Muskie" the largest walking dragline ever constructed.

You got it, Scott. That Big Muskie was really something, they used it for I think 6 years and shut it down. Later on they scrapped the whole thing out except the bucket.

Just got out the ref. materials...  
The bucket capacity is 220 yards! Mounted on a 310 ft. boom.  A totaling of 28,000 hp for all the machine functions.

Muskie started work in 1969 and was shut down in 1991 due to dimishing markets for the high sulfer coal it uncovered.  Went under the torch in '99.  

I'm such a machinery dork... :D :D

I guess I was way off on the tears it worked. Maybe I was thinking about how long I been sawing. ;D
