You are really good at finding pics, Pullpan! These ones certainly made my day. Do you take some pics yourself?
i do take some pics but most of them i find on the web. im hoping when i move to california in a couple weeks that i get a chance to take some col pix out there and pass them along. i cant wait to drive to the west coast i hope i see some coll stuff.....
What part of California are you going to and what brings you out here?
sacramento area im tired of the east tired of the bs with a certain company. im looking to run grader out in california and i like the area. cant wait!
You have a job lined up or are you just heading west with high hopes?
He will have no problem finding work out here, but personally I can't wait to get out of here.
i already have a friend out there and he ahs a job lined up for me at that company to run grader. like dozerboy said the is tons of work out there just gotta find it!
This picture was taken at The Black Thunder Mine out in the PRB.The dragline that is pulling the D11R is the BE2570WS called Ursa Major
Thats the one that got scooped up in that big open wheel miner.
No, that was a D8R in Germany, or was it Alberta? It was a D8, anyway.... CRS strikes me Frequently, these days.. Hope this helps, alan627b
The dozer that got scooped up is CRAZY..anyone know the back story on this?
Another D11 in distress The site where i did my apprenticeship had a nasty habit of breaking machines, heres a couple of D11R's in distress Cheers
yikes...i like your avatar too! poor little ford,...but back to my question...does anyone know how that dozer got caught up in that wheel excavator?
Wrong place right time as luck would have it ops
I'd imagine it was pushing in around the bucket wheel and just got a little too close for comfort - must be some torque in that bucket wheel to pick up a D8 like that! I'd reckon the seat might have wanted changing after that too!
The story I heard on another forum was that the operator took a break, and apparently left the D-8 in a blind spot. No one was in it when it got scooped up. Must have been a shock to the bucket wheel operator when the dozer showed up in his hopper!
X2 thats what I heard
More than likely! I'm just running on assumption! Either way it's pretty unreal! At least it sounds like no-one was hurt which is the main thing i suppose!:thumbsup
wow that truely is crazy..a d8 is a big hunk of steel to get grabbed up like that...
Bet whoever was operating it - was glad they were not in it...
