I just read Cat have discontinued production of the 613G citing 0 orders over an extended period, the downturn in the markets they are most utilised and a rampant used machine market. That makes the 23 the only eggbeater in the line now.
I heard about that from the local dealer last week. Cat did not give any notice either. The local dealer, Johnson, is very good, and smart too. They bought the last 6 available from the factory. Now if anyone needs one, they will get the sale.
One positive to come out this, small elevator scrapers on the secondhand market will/should increase in saleability
Don't they still build the 633's? Or is that an after market add on?
I think Megacorp make an elevating scraper that is the 633 but it is not Caterpillar branded.
More jobs lost, hopefully only temporary.
Aww cant be too bad, norsoct built a few thousand in 1:50 scale. Its too bad to see them can things so quickly. G
