Dragline Question

[Uncle]

I am still looking for a dragline close to Arkansas and I have been seeing a unit on Ebay that is close.
It's a 22B Bucyrus Erie with 55 ft of boom.
It has been listed numerous times at $7500.
This looks high to me. Can anyone give me some info on this unit and some ideas on what it's worth?

You could look on Machinery Trader and see if there are more BE machines listed. 22B's are probably the most popular BE machine ever made. Dave

I have two b-10s never paid more than a grand for either one.. that was with the extra attachments.. the market for cable machines is soft with the hydraulic excavators around.. the
22b I believe is a half yard machine but depending on the material you can load the drag bucket up to a yard. works good for ponds.. don't get it stuck close to 20 tons. if it has been for sale for a long time cut the price in half make an offer..
