A buddy sent me an email about this And I thought someone may be interested http://www.constructionequipmentguide.com/Kawasaki--Announces-Loader-Legend-Contest/14978/newsletter/ Kawasaki Announces ‘Loader Legend Contest’ Kawasaki Announces ‘Loader Legend Contest’ KCMA Corporation, formerly known as Kawasaki Construction Machinery Corp. of America, is conducting a “Loader Legend Contest”. The contest was announced Sept. 1 and will run through Jan. 15, 2011. Kawasaki is looking for older, operational Kawasaki wheel loaders that have become a legend in their own right. What makes a Kawasaki loader a Legend? The performance, the challenging environment, its age, number of hours, or extraordinary application. Perhaps the loader participated in a historic event. Every loader has a story, and Kawasaki is interested in hearing all about it. Based on the submitted entries Kawasaki will select five of the most legendary stories as semi-finalists. Each storyteller, and wheel loader owner, will win $100 gift cards for the Kawasaki online store. Each of the semi-finalists will be interviewed for the Loader Legends issue of FOCUS Magazine, and from them a winner will be determined. The owner, and the storyteller of the most legendary Kawasaki wheel loader, will each win $1,000. For more information, visit www.kawasakiloaders.com/LoaderLegendsContest .
Around here Kawasaki loaders went away a long time ago. No support basically killed the line in the Northwest and no company here will trust ever having one around again.
We have a new ZV115 down here in New Zealand. Never ever get one again. At 6000hrs No 4th gear Broken tilt rams and the list can go on We also have 2 WA600 with around 35000hrs on them which have had the odd problems because of there age but are still an all round better machine in every way.
