Lima 2400 Dredge Paddling + Digging Closeup

Watch the mud splash! 2.5 minutes of wide shot, then zooms in for details. Lima 2400's are like pro athletes. They have normal proportions, and you don't realize how big they are until you get close. The 2400 is claimed to be a bit bigger than a Manitowoc 4600. Digging until 19:00, then pulls the spuds and the jonboat starts towing both barges(!), with the crane paddling. Nice sequence of the tug returning an empty mud scow toward the end. Operator does a nice job of staying over the load, pretty important when you're perched on a tippy barge with a lot of stick.
