hey pete ,,i was a plant operator for 21yrs,,,,that kobelco cheap piece of shit try these for size,,,i only like cats

Cats are for Pussies. If it doesn't have a Cummins engine in it it is not worth driving.

oooh where's the popcorn??

Cummins. they only make stationary engines

What do you drive and which engine is in it??? I would think that the new Signature is better than the Cat C15 at the moment. The C 15 does not even meet the new emmissions that is why they are pulling out of automotive engines. The Excert did not meet their expectations.

At the moment, I got a shitty little ISC in an Iveco agitator

Here's a pic of the old rig carting a new boom arm off a Hitatchi 850 tonne excavator....... FH16... 580hp.. 110 tonne rated....

If your ISC has the caps fuel system then I would agree with you. The common rail is a far better engine.

I havn't got one of this exact machine but here's a similar 800 tonner ... Note the person standing alongside the track.

I picked up the Boom Arm from Brisbane Wharf last year along with about 8 - 10 other low loaders carting various bits. We took it all to a mine at Gunnedah NSW, where it was to be assembled and put into digging some serious holes..........

Thanks guys, awsome pieces of gear

of course you have to become a good operator of these things and then to watch them altering the landscape , minig etc..at least for me it's a great enjoyment to watch.

On the other hand , hand me the keys of one of these and I'll look like a meachanical Steady Eddy ..
