I saw that and was wondering too, my guess is they help serve as a visual cue for when the bucket is about to hit the ground. Could be way off.
That's what I'm going with too... or to more easily see the angle of the boom.
Hmm is it just one operator? Is there a pisser in there? Downtime is money!
looks like one operator and no pisser. Sure is roomy in there though: https://www.hitachicm.us/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/Hitachi-EX8000-Mining-Excavator-Brochure.pdf
Something tells me there's piss bottles. Maybe an emergency bucket.
Piss off the catwalk like everyone else does.
