And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
Actually, the excavator is normal size. That's a photo of the All Cameroon Pygmy Miniature excavator crew. They are only two feet tall. Steve_in_Ottawa
Ran a 988 loader performing clean up and other tasks around one, they never shut one down completely, even if there is no work, they hook it up to 19,000 kvg lines, so it remains fully functional, got a 24-7 maintenance team who stay on all the time the shovel, they mostly are used in the surface coal mining, comes in behind a drag-line, getting what the drag can't scrape up.
Cat 988s are still the preferred machines for unloading log trucks at sawmills and have been for 50 years. I've got a picture of my truck being unloaded by one in 1977. It was a 988B model.
How many yard in that bucket? 50, more?
ReplyDeleteIt looks like it's just over 62 cubic yards.
DeleteWow.
I'd be pooped by the time I got done climbing those stairs to reach the cab.

ReplyDeleteI’ve seen them in Florida, used for mining Phosphate, big machines for sure.
ReplyDeleteThat's a big machine. Imagine how big the machine is that made that BUCKET!!!
ReplyDeleteThe bucket looks like it's fabricated out of steel plate, but the lip, teeth, and wear shrouds would be castings.
Deletei wonder how much hydraulic fluid it holds?
ReplyDeleteThat's for digging back yard swimming pools with just one scoop.
