Finally, the perfect machine for my ex. Now she can even digging up more old dirt and bringing up crap from the past.

Wonder if Parker will buy it.

About $12M depending on the configuration, if you’re wondering. Then factor in roughly 10-15% of that per year on maintenance costs.

That is very interesting, indeed. How is that behemoth transported to sites? Particularly remote, mining sites?

So more or less the CAT D-11 equivalent of excavators.

Jesus. I never realized how huge those things can be.
I know they aren’t all THAT big, but that is just massive.

Fantastic! Ya know, let’s put it on the roof!

I don’t know why I expected the cab area to be proportional as if a very large human would run it, but the sliver of cab on top as it panned over kinda threw me for a loop

TL;DR: This bad boy can load about 80t in a truck per swing, and I happily operated one (albeit as an emergency course)
I worked in a mine in Zambia, and the expats were supposed to be able to run the mine as a skeleton crew in case of a local strike or some emergency. Of course I took full advantage and got to operate this bad boy, the big drills and the hauling trucks (400t loads). Boy working there was an absolute blast. Its like being a kid at christmas all over again. Funnily enough this excavator is surprisingly easy to operate; you just have 4 controls on the arm and basicaly 3 more (left track, right track, and rotating the body) for other movement. The arm is like an actual arm but imagine a weird position with the elbow pointing upwards. You can move it up and down (like the shoulder), back and forth (like the elbow), and the bucket can go up and down (like a wrist) and open and close (like a hand). Granted my Zambian colleagues found my analogies pretty dumb but it really helps getting familiar with this type of equipment. Also Zambians in general are some of the kindest and most genuine people I’ve ever met. All around I had an absolute blast.
