The Digger Picture Thread

The little'un (the 8025) tracks really well, id take her anywhere, this 8052 (the 5 tonner) doesn't feel as sure footed, could be I'm not used to her yet

It takes over an hour to track the Liebherr to the other side of the farm. Its only 120 acres!

Our Volvo EC 210 its had a hard 13,000hr life and is quite scruffy as a result but mechanically is good just needs cosmetic tidying up, its unusual to see anything under 20t here.

Our 8 tonner

Anyone considering getting a thumb...... DO IT!

Don't bother with a manual one, go straight for hydraulic, proper worth
(It folds back tight to the arm)


Many a acre of gorse &bramble wiped from the face of the earth with this beaut

 

[KennyO]

Come and try the Liebherr then Bryn! Your 8025 will seem like an F1 car after that

Or my old YUMBO!!

Digging rotten rock for new silage pit

This is why I don't get round bale enthusiasts who say silage clamps are cripplingly expensive to build? Concrete floor and a dwarf wall on 3 sides. Slot drain across the front and a catch pit and it's done.

Can any of you digger experts explain to me the differences in using either of the two different ram holes at the top of dipper? presumably different geometry and more/less power and reach depending which hole is used but which one?

Been looking at quite a few machines and most of them seem to be in the further away hole as per the above photo but odd one's seem to be in the other hole.

The back hole is for transport to get the dipper folded in closer not many do this though

I see, nice simple answer, thanks.

So forgive me for moving this off farm diggers for a moment , but this just came up on my you tube feed im sure most of you here will enjoy this 16min video of cat fleet 657 scapers and A D10 moving a mountain. (We can all dream a little) This guy does not post videos that often but when he does they are good .
No cometary or music just how I like it, so get a cup of tea , turn the volume and dont worry about the fuel bill

I've watched quite a few of his videos. Those scraper drivers go over some silly steep hills, using the blade as brakes.

It must save a few quid though as when you see them being pushed by 2 x cat 10's to load on the flat the running cost in fuel and track wear must go up considerbaly, but they do look like they get a buzz from being on the edge of that steep stuff .

While we're talking earthmovers. I think the 3rd one over at about 1.20

What ton is that

 

[Shovelhands]

What ton is that

20 tonner, wouldn't know what it 'actually' weighs, a good 20t +

Full size tubular model of a 20tonner part of the jcb exhibition on the factory tour yesterday, a full working machine would be too heavy to sit on the upper floor of the building
