Sand excavator has a Hitachi 450 crawwler/excavator with a 5 cubic yard bucket. Getting prices and want to ask how many yards of sand should this machine be able to excavate in an hour. Operating in Caribbean virgin land sand site no obsticals Thank you Ken
That's a question with a lot of variables to it. Loading trucks? Bailing to the side? What are you doing with it ? If your loading trucks depends on how many trucks u have and how far of a run cycle.
Its all about the operators skill on the machine. 2 different operators, 1 might get 200 bitesx5 cubes another might get 260 bitesx5 cubes.
I would say average a full bucket every 15 seconds with a good operator if the hoe isn't tired. I would say 1200 yards per hour as a rough estimate
