Dragline stood tall over his fellow inmate — bewildered at what had just transpired.
"Nothin'! A handful of nothin'! You stupid mullet head! He beat you with nothin'.", he quipped at Savannah as he eyed Luke. "Just like today when he kept comin' back at me — with nothin'."
As he popped open a beer Luke stared off and retorted, "Yeah, well — sometimes nothin' can be a real cool hand."
Dragline chuckled as he walked across the the room and towards Luke. "Move over. I wanna sit here next to my boy — Cool Hand Luke."

Dragline vs. Rope Shovel: Key Differences in Mining Machinery
In the realm of mining and excavation, heavy machinery is the backbone of efficiently extracting valuable resources from the earth. Two of the most prevalent types of machinery for this purpose are draglines and rope shovels. Though they share similar objectives, their designs, functionalities, and applications differ significantly. This blog is dedicated to illuminating the crucial distinctions between draglines and rope shovels, along with their respective advantages, limitations, and the specific scenarios where each excels.
Dragline: The Monumental Excavator
A dragline stands as a colossal excavation machine primarily employed in surface mining operations. Its nomenclature stems from the drag or dragline bucket it utilizes to eliminate overburden, rocks, and other materials concealing coal, ore, or minerals to be extracted. Draglines are celebrated for their immense proportions, with some towering over 300 feet and weighing several thousand tons. They are typically mounted on crawler tracks, enabling them to traverse mining sites.
Key Features of Draglines
Dragline Bucket: This gargantuan bucket is suspended from the boom through a hoist rope and drag rope system. Its colossal size permits it to scoop up substantial quantities of material in a single pass.
Boom: The boom is an elongated, rigid arm that supports the dragline bucket and affords the requisite reach for excavation.
Hoist Rope and Drag Rope: Working in tandem, these ropes govern the movement of the dragline bucket. The hoist rope raises and lowers the bucket, while the drag rope manages the bucket's angle and movement during excavation.
Walking Mechanism: The majority of draglines feature a walking mechanism, enabling them to migrate between mining areas. They can traverse on their crawler tracks without necessitating disassembly.
Advantages of Draglines
High Production Rate: Renowned for their exceptional digging capacity, draglines can move vast quantities of material in a brief period, rendering them exceedingly productive in large-scale mining operations.
Selective Mining: Thanks to the sizeable dragline bucket and boom, they offer precise control, facilitating selective mining and minimizing the removal of undesired materials.
Efficient Overburden Removal: Draglines excel in the removal of overburden from mining areas, consequently reducing the cost associated with waste removal.
Limitations of Draglines
High Capital Cost: The sheer enormity and intricacy of draglines contribute to their substantial capital cost, rendering them more suitable for sizable mining corporations with ample resources.
Limited Mobility: Although draglines can move to some extent, they are not as nimble as other mining equipment, which can pose limitations in specific mining environments.
Rope Shovel: The Adaptable Digger
A rope shovel, also known as a cable shovel, serves as another prominent mining equipment piece used in surface mining operations. In contrast to draglines, rope shovels boast a more compact design and are typically mounted on tracks or tires, granting them superior maneuverability.
Key Features of Rope Shovels
Dipper: Rope shovels employ a dipper, akin to a bucket, for excavation. The dipper is connected to the machinery via a hoist rope and crowd rope system.
Boom
: Similar to draglines, rope shovels feature a boom that supports the dipper and regulates its movement.
Hoist Rope and Crowd Rope: These ropes govern the dipper's movement. The hoist rope elevates and descends the dipper, while the crowd rope manages the dipper's angle and enables horizontal digging.
Mobility: Rope shovels are equipped with tracks or tires, affording them the capability to traverse mining sites with relative ease.
Advantages of Rope Shovels
Versatility: Rope shovels are remarkably versatile, serving a variety of mining purposes, including excavation, loading, and material dumping.
Lower Capital Cost: In comparison to draglines, rope shovels generally entail lower capital costs, making them a more accessible option for smaller mining enterprises.
Enhanced Mobility: The mobility of rope shovels allows them to operate in confined spaces and diverse terrains, rendering them suitable for mining locations with limited accessibility.
Limitations of Rope Shovels
Lower Production Capacity: Rope shovels have a smaller bucket capacity compared to draglines, leading to reduced production rates in large-scale mining operations.
Limited Selective Mining: Due to the smaller dipper size, rope shovels face limitations in performing selective mining efficiently.
Increased Overburden Removal: Rope shovels may require more time and effort for overburden removal due to their smaller bucket size.
Conclusion
In conclusion, both draglines and rope shovels stand as crucial machinery in surface mining operations. While draglines are behemoth earthmovers celebrated for their exceptional production capacity and selective mining capabilities, rope shovels offer greater versatility and superior mobility at a lower capital cost. The choice between the two hinges on the scale of the mining operation, the deposit's nature, and the available budget.
Large-scale mining ventures endowed with substantial resources and significant overburden can harness the high productivity and selective mining capabilities of draglines to their advantage. Conversely, smaller mining undertakings contending with diverse terrains and less overburden may find rope shovels a more pragmatic and cost-effective choice.

Big Brutus & More in Southeast Kansas!
I grew up in a mining community, Pawnee, Illinois. Peabody # 10 located between Pawnee and Kincaid when it was open, was one of the largest coal mines in the world. So, it makes sense that I am interested in mining history both locally and far away. On a hosted trip by Explore Crawford County, I found some amazing mining stories, equipment and sites!

Alat berat penggali tanah, seperti Excavator, Power Shovel, Dragline dan Clamsell diperuntukkan untuk menggali tanah yang disebut dengan alat gali. Pada pekerjaan konstruksi dibutuhkan alat supaya waktu pengerjaan lebih cepat. Diperlukan beberapa alat berat dengan kondisi baik dan dapat menyelesaikan pekerjaan dengan biaya yang relatif murah. Penggunaan alat berat menjadi solusi yang utama sebagai pengganti tenaga kerja manusia, terutama pada pekerjaan konstruksi, perkebunan, energi dan pertambangan.

do y’all think Web avatars ever get bored and have spiders write people spiderweb messages like in charlottes web? like imagine someone runs into a lamppost while looking down at their phone and texting, and then a bunch of spiders descend from the lamppost and rapidly weave a web which spells out “LOL”
#the magnus archives#tma#when you think about it this would be a good way for a Web avatar and an Eye avatar to tag team#like not only are there spiders but they are watching and judging you#this is inspired by the spider that fell out of a tree and landed on me bc it was fuckin wimdy#then i kept trying to set him down but he kept attaching draglines to me#so i’d try to set him on a bench and then find him just. dangling from my hair. stubborn little fella#there’s something i’m supposed to be doing rn but i can’t remember what it is. fuck.

cool hand luke time loop theory ^.^ if you will
#in the book it’s implied the events are regularly retold by dragline to the newer prisoners#it’s sort of hinted at at the end of the movie but it’s less noticeable#also the monotany of each day and luke’s attempts at breaking boundaries

Babydog stop hitting the end of the dragline at top speed challenge.
#dragline is rapidly becoming unworkable for both of us#he's now big enough and fast enough to hurt me#I'm on day 3 of ibu and icing my back#he was particularly wild and crazy this morning and I'm like.#please...

my only yandere dungeon meshi thought atm is dragon!Falin... keeping you safe and protected and all to herself, letting you snuggle up to her feathers, killing monsters (and maybe adventurers) and bringing them to you as trophies (and as food)...
no because there is a very specific manga panel i came across recently that just has me thinking about dragon!falin (falgon? draglin?) constantly. wait i think i can find it actually.
just,,, yeah. falin smother me with your titty feathers i won't complain if you kill me by accident (or on purpose) i promise.
