lmao
2006-03-07 19:35:26
 
Lol, wtf.
2006-03-07 19:36:56
 
Just plain weird. Good job!
2006-03-07 19:38:43
 
f*ck Me, that thing is real ! I'm assuming for strip/shear mining.
2006-03-07 19:42:24
 
Sweetness! Is that thing real? If it is, wtf would we do with it? *Shock of fear* ...build...the...DEATHSTAR! Or we could save Ginnyweapons from the giant robots. :)
2006-03-07 19:43:58
 
Been a while I have'nt heard of this big thing, specially on ytmnd. I think it was used in germany to rebuild broken landscapes or something.
2006-03-07 19:45:29
 
Its not a saw.
2006-03-07 19:46:45
 
The saw doesn't rebuild anything. Boomaga is right in that its used for mining. Doesn't go very far though, only goes less than 1 mph.
2006-03-07 19:46:59
 
Congrats, you have found strip mining equipment!
2006-03-07 19:47:19
 
its a feature?
2006-03-07 19:49:44
 
Ahaha. O_O Awesome.
2006-03-07 19:50:11
 
wow, whatever that is, it rules.

2006-03-07 19:58:15
 
O NOESSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!
2006-03-07 20:00:10
 
I need to change my pants...
2006-03-07 20:01:28
 
What purpose does a saw serve on mining equipment?
2006-03-07 23:34:42
 
It's not a saw. It's a space station.
2006-03-07 23:35:54
 
wtf? WTF???!!? So this is what those jews have been up to in their underground secret labs!!! oh dear lord jesus in heaven , help us!!!
2006-03-07 23:36:30
 
I have never before been so scared in my life.
2006-03-07 23:38:20
 
wtf
2006-03-07 23:39:19
 
-2 because I was gonna do this :( And yes, it is for mining.
2006-03-07 23:39:50
 
just... holy jesus titty f*cking christ. sources for the love of god please
2006-03-07 23:42:31
 
haha! someone should make a ytmnd of that becoming like a death machine and going out of control instead of some lame, slow-moving mining equipment
2006-03-07 23:42:53
 
For everyone who was wondering, it only looks like a saw from the side. What look like the saw's teeth are actually scoops. It spins and scoops dirt really fast.
2006-03-07 23:43:09
 
I think that's what they used to circumcise Shaq...
2006-03-07 23:50:51
 
2006-03-07 23:53:15
 
not a saw, buncha scoops. Look at how theyre faced. The aggregate is dropped onto the conveyor system that goes throughout the chassis of the crane. And yes, it's for strip mining, most likely of just aggregate for road construction, building constructi
2006-03-08 00:02:12
 
Bah! I was gonna make a YTMND with that pic! It was gonna be like "So thats what the germans have been up to", Its German btw, called the kone

2006-03-08 01:44:31
 
whoa! holy sh*t! is that a real thing? what do you use that for?
2006-03-08 01:51:25
 
That picture is older than construction equipment itself.
2006-03-08 02:11:41
 
the german designed BUCKET WHEEL EXCAVATOR! the germans ARE the equivalent of the Empire. DEUTSCHLAND UBER ALLES!
2006-03-08 02:13:46
 
Inkdrinker, that was just retarded. I know you think your clever and everything, but that was stupid of you to say that.
2006-03-08 02:13:53
 
just google "Bucket wheel excavator" - that thing is in the 2005 guiness book of world records, heaviest self propelled structure i think.
2006-03-08 02:33:39
 
LOL! Holy sh*t!! Haha! Oh man, it's gonna TEAR US APPART!!
2006-03-08 02:56:38
 
Not for mining, giant people shredder from Dane Cook's 100 foot tall native americans. Good game, America.
2006-03-08 03:54:04
 
It's a digger, and it's old news. It also kills bulldozers.
2006-03-08 04:04:51
 
logged in to say this is lame
2006-03-08 04:06:57
 
That thing is the inspiration for nightmare/backlash; the coolest Battlebots ever. :D:D:D:D
2006-03-08 04:15:49
 
You know you should probably watch the history channel once in a while... it's a circular giant bucket loader. The world's largest.
2006-03-08 04:36:55
 
That's no saw. It's a lumber mill!
2006-03-08 04:40:04
 
meh
2006-03-08 05:17:15
 
Bah! misinformation! This isn't the predesesor to the deathstar, it's what the ATAT evolved from. Duh! :P
2006-03-08 05:29:22
 
coolness. I'd sacrifice my virginity to operate something like that.
2006-03-08 06:15:29
 
"The saw doesn't rebuild anything." Neither does the death star... :O
2006-03-08 06:49:35
 
That's a big f*cking saw.
2006-03-08 07:10:49
 
KNEEL. KNEEL AND BOW.
2006-03-08 07:20:13
 
Jesus raping Christ that bitch is huge!

2006-03-08 09:13:58
 
I assume that im not the only one here that would like to get behind the wheel of that thing and plow into a hillary duff concert with it?
2006-03-08 09:30:16
 
its metal gear not starwars ! >:(! jackarse
2006-03-08 09:39:24
 
Correct term is actually a "bucket excavator" more commonly known as a bucketwheel...and fyi, thats not even close to the biggest one in operation, the one featured is from germany, the largest one's are in Alberta, Canada
2006-03-08 09:45:09
 
Look at the size of that thing!
2006-03-08 09:55:58
 
LOL

2006-03-08 10:22:12
 
Dude, that thing is AWESOME.
2006-03-08 10:44:04
 
There's something unusually funny about the phrase "giant saw".
2006-03-08 11:07:26
 
Downvoters: Not everyone has seen every f*cking picture on the internet. Get used to it.
2006-03-08 11:10:17
 
I think I remember that image from a Fark PS contest. The huge machine definitely looks familiar.
2006-03-08 11:17:03
 
but Alderaan is peaceful!
2006-03-08 11:28:01
 
Don't be too proud of this technological terror you have constructed.
2006-03-08 11:41:09
 
Funny pic, but I don't get the Star Wars reference
2006-03-08 11:41:53
 
I think I saw that thing in modern science or something my swedish to english is'nt that good.

That thing is scary.
2006-03-08 12:09:57
 
aids.
2006-03-08 12:32:51
 
Another good sound to use, I think, would've been "That's a huge bitch!"
2006-03-08 12:35:19

Close up image of the bucket, with a bulldozer stuck in it. at excavator.ytmnd.com/
2006-03-08 13:05:05
 
Damn, that's one big saw.
2006-03-08 13:17:36
 
Correction, this is AFTER the Death Star because this picture was probably taken during this decade.
2006-03-08 13:32:51
 
That's not really a saw, people. It's just a wheel of scoops/buckets.
2006-03-08 13:37:33
 
Whoa, a big mining thing...
2006-03-08 13:53:05

Adrnshw6 ever heard of a circular saw? idiot
2006-03-08 14:12:50
 
This thing or a thing that looks exactly like it can be found in GoogleEarth. I don't remember exactly, but it was somewhere in western Germany in the area of Ruhr Valley.
2006-03-08 14:57:58
 
We know have the Ultimate Earth Mover in the Universe.
2006-03-08 15:09:20

2006-03-08 15:46:55
 
For those wondering its called RB293 bucket wheel exavator, its weighs 31.3 million lbs O_o
2006-03-08 15:49:41
 
FTW
2006-03-08 15:49:49
 
Ah, the giant excavator. It's not a saw, just so you know. It's a wheel of buckets. It scooped up a 'dozer once.
2006-03-08 15:53:05
 
Old.

2006-03-08 18:01:32
 
WHAT THE f*ck IS THAT? No... really. What the hell is that thing?
2006-03-08 18:03:12
 
Old. Very old.
2006-03-08 18:07:39
 
All I know about this giant instrument of death is that... I NEED ONE RIGHT NOW! How much does one of these cost?!
2006-03-08 18:10:11
 
METAL GEAR?!?!
2006-03-08 18:12:50
 
I saw this thing on the History Channel, it's used for strip mining of coal in Germany. The coal there is soft so it can be scooped easy. It would fail in the USA.
2006-03-08 18:52:12
 
Ive seen shows about it on discovery, its cool.
2006-03-08 19:03:37
 
Saw a couple out in Wyoming while working on the railroad at the coalmines, f*cking awesome. I want one.
