Antique buncher on private land. Has not moved in at least 8 years but can't get better pictures of it from the highway.

Will see what other buncher photos I can get this fall as harvesting is starting to pick up again.

My 300 Kobelco with 2 speed drums each will hold 1400 feet of 5/8. We shotgun mostly with it but have done some downhill high lead. One of a kind option on this shovel, we had Jewell convert the lower section of the boom into a fuel tank and plumbed it into the main fuel tank. It holds over 200 gallons....:D

Thinking about selling but it may be on the rental market soon if somebody needs one badly enough.:cool:

What do you think of the 330s? Looks like a C or maybe a D?

Both C's. And the only reason we have two is because one is always broken. They're a nice platform, like a ME excavator only up higher. Makes feeding a jaw or placing things into a trucks box nice. But I don't see why real yellow or orange wouldn't of been the better purchase. That being said I haven't put alot of hours on either, I've listened to what they guys who run them say though.


We've had a new D series 324 for a little bit now, loaded out just a 1000 cubes today, It's a refined C series I guess, but not an improvement.

Newish Cat shovel

I followed an empty truck up this road the other day and spoted this newish machine. Went back up there today with permission from the machine's owner to have a closer look. What a BEAST!
