A new High Drive dozer maker!
BTW. I find it strange when I read the press release description of the machine, that they don´t mention one word abut it having a high drive configuration. Or suspended roller boogies. As if that´s some hush hush issue for them...... Maybe to disguise the fact that the track roller frames... -

A new High Drive dozer maker!
Until recently the bigger John Deere dozers were just rebadged Liebherr. I think the same goes for the track loaders. The latest big Deere dozers LOOK like they´re all Deere made, but question is weather the drive train is still Liebherr. -

A new High Drive dozer maker!
Question is whether operator comfort is all that better on a machine like that. For me a part of operator comfort is feeling the machine and hearing the engine rev u p or down. On a machine like that the engine would be running at a fairly constant speed, making operation - well - boring.... But... -

Liebherr has obviously joined the high drive club with this this new machine, obviously a D10 contender w, hydrostatic drive. Does any of you guys have any experience with the bigger Liebherrs? -

My Grandfather Skidding Logs in 1957 With D7 Cat
That must have been in 1967 rather than 1957 my friend, these D7Es didn´t come out until the early sixties- Hjolli

Stretch D8's in Antarctica
I get very curious when I see these pictures about the engine: was it the original Cat D8 engine, maybe with a turbo added or was it a newer Cat engine? And is it the only dozer model that was ever stretched like this? And what about steering/transmission? -

The Ultimate Loader??
Without having any particular suggestions myself I've just read a very interesting article about the latest Cat 966k XE. http://www.uk.cat.com/cda/files/3467460/7/AEXQ0696-00.pdf. What I think is particularly interesting is the transmission which is continuously variable and energy saving by...- Hjolli

International/Rolls Royce combo?
Massive dozer? CATlover, I live in Iceland and I think I know what machine you are talking about. There´s an old BTD20 sitting on the beach in southern Iceland, down on a rocky shore. So it´s not more massive than being an 18 ton tractor. But it´s rusty and abandoned and the last thing... -

Do you doze in first or second?
It seems that most dozer videos feature operators dozing in second gear (or at least trying to). It often seems that they have a hard time controlling the blade, making an even grade. And very often the load seems too heavy for high speed, the machine slowing more down than it would in first... -

Old Bucyrus Erie crane
Yes this seems to be a rare model, I have been doing several searches on Google and not finding anything yet that looks like it. I think they bought it brand new in 1964. I recall the owner wasn´t very satisfied with it and replaced it with a P&H of similar size -

Old Bucyrus Erie crane
I think this was a 15 ton model and yes, it was manual control and manual outriggers. This time I was able to upload a slightly larger picture... -

Old Bucyrus Erie crane
Hello These pics are from 1967 from a concrete pouring job in my old hometown. I would like to know if anybody out there could tell which Bucyrus Erie model this is. I´m unable to see any model tags on the crane and have not been able to find a similar model on the net. Btw the concrete...
