    Who here owns or runs a limestone quarry? need help with start up

    Yes it has an updated fuel system. But as it has to reach Tier 4 interim that hasnt always to be good. And I'm not talking about 10 or 20 % more of the 988 in our test. It was more like at least 50 % more. But one and a half tank per shift sounds really bad. We used less than one tank on a 12...

    Who here owns or runs a limestone quarry? need help with start up

    Im sorry if I got you wrong. English isn't my native language, so it's sometimes a little hard for me to understand everything. We just tested a 988 H against a 980 K loading two Komatsu HD 405 and have a totally different experience with the fuel consumption. The 988 needed by far more fuel...

    Who here owns or runs a limestone quarry? need help with start up

    Just for my understanding. You have 3 dumpers, one 773 and two 769 and you want to buy more than one 988 to load them, addidtional to a 375 L? Isnt that a little overpowered? One 988 should be able to load all that dumpers. How is the fuel consumption of your 980s compared to the 988?

    Amazing,the top 5 biggest hydraulic excavator in the world

    Bucyrus doesnt build the RH 400 anymore. Caterpillar bought the production-line and produces it under new name Cat 6090. Anyway it wasn't a real Bucyrus, it was developed and built by German Company O&K, so it's not (America) but Germany. ;)

    Catepillar 966, 980 and 988 old generation (1960-1970) dependability comparison

    Catepillar 966, 980 and 988 old generation (1960-1970) dependability comparison

    We have older 988, 980 and 966 running in Nigeria. You can be sure that its much more expensive to run a machine like that than to run a 20-ton-dump-truck. And ours were far more expensive than 20.000 $. I wouldnt think thats a good idea.
