Cat 416D Backhoe Placer Mining Feeding a Small Trommel

Hi everybody We ended up getting a 2005 416D with only 1200 hours on it. It really seemed like the best machine available at the time. I was impressed with what we were able to do with it. One of the biggest problems we was the lack of traction. The chains we bought for the rear tires wouldn't clear the cab so we couldn't use them. The tires are foam filled and have been great, but I suspect they sink in the mud much
