This is a brand new Hitachi EH 1100-5. Only two in existence! One at ConExpo and One here!
Pretty, but it needs some white trim and/or stripes. Too much orange, lol.
lol the orange is catching on here.
Is that a 50 tonner? How is it liked so far?
Its a sixty ton truck. Seems very popular with the operators.
The first 2 EH 1700-3s went into Ontario in 2007. Do you know what is different with the dash 5s? Tier 4 Im guessing? Looks like a Miller quarry.. Thanks for posting
Would happen to be at millers east of brechin ?
Not that it matters, but they are actually a 70 ton truck. I really like that they have finally recognized that the inside of the cab should be nice to spend time in, not just a tin box. Here's hoping the -5s are a bit more reliable than their predecessors.
What model loader is that that is loading it?
Surprisingly it is not tier four! It has a 790 horsepower cummins in it. Anything over certain horsepower doesn't have to be tier four yet. The product support rep told me it is only meeting tier two requirements. It is at Millers!
No sorry I don't know. That picture was text to me by an operator.
The loader is a Volvo L 350 F
