>>28796433>redlines at 118 rpms
>>2879648290 full away
>>28796361I only come to /o/ briefly to check if there are tractor or Excavator threads going. Then I just see a bunch of car threads and I leave
>>28796369A 15 ton Clark ForkliftSlow as fuck but built like a tank
>>28797024>16 ton forklift at work has no brakes>they put a notice up on the board>"if there is a mechanical fault with the forklifts please adjust your driving style"lol
Hyundai 520LX any other excavators in here?>>28796433Fellow marinefag. Where u heading?
>how does one avoid getting fatIm only digging for about 2 hours at most until the barge is full then i get out and help out with the ropes which seems to keel the calories burning.
>>28797230Hitachi 350LC here
>>28797424looks like fun cleaning those tracks out
>>28796361I always labored enough in between operating that I never got fat. Plus exercising outside of work and a generally active lifestyleNow I am in management so I usually have time to workout at lunch or at the end of the day.
>>28796369Cat 349 Excavator. Once while drunk Connexpo I started up a gigantic Komatsu haul truck inside the convention center with a spare komatsu key I kept in my wallet and was promptly kicked out
>>28797476>Plus exercising outside of workI'd too lazy to exercise at home so I wear 50lb of weights at work.
>>28796369i drove one of these once at an old jobi just drive a forklift now
>>28797471Please, my jimmies can only take so much rustling.
>>28796927based there were some models like that with a new holland color scheme, right? i forgot the specifics but they look cool i miss ford
>>28797479>drunk>conexpoAre you going this year?My boss won't let me go because I yelled at one of our equipment suppliers for making shit equipment and that person I yelled at is higher up in that particular company and we just bought 4 more of their units. I printed out a full page of complaints with the most recent units we bought and asked him to give it to the salesman/manager dude.
>>28797993Yeah. Fiat bought ford new holland and the last 90 series were under the new holland brand with blue paint. They were called new holland tradition. They stopped selling them in 2003 I thinkI love the old ford tractors too. I miss them both
>>28797479>>28798098You guys are allowed to go to expos?We have like 2 foremen go and the rest of us stay at work and wait to see what surprise crap they bought us.
>>28797031Lol, typical that. The brakes on the Clark started failing at one point, but the boss actually got it fixed. I think because I told the boss and he had a go, almost crashing into a roller door, he decided it was worth the fix.
>>28797230Link Belt 2800Been a great machine
>>28796369Hitachi zw550
>>28797230Great Lakes and near coastal US/Canada east coast.
>>28796369Pic related, but only in the parking lot to make way.I drove one of this twice >>28796419, but with a sikhammer at rhe back. I didnt know the wheels have 2 mods of turning and the first time I was not understanding why it was not going where I wanted. It was night and I had to walk backwards, no space to turn and I could not see the back wheels were also turning with my front. And damn, their front part is so heavy, even when empty. Lifting it too fast raises my butt like a overloaded forklift.>>28797492 I worked with one of these for a full day, one size smaller tho. Had no overhead and both wheels were metal. Shaked my ass like crazy, but fun. First time in my life I saw a soil plot so shiny and flat.While I usually drive a 3.5t forklift, I had to download a few cars with a forklift maybe twice that weight for somebody once. The pallets were actually not bigger than my usual, but they only had that one forklift. It was sooo sloooooow, but indeed also felt like a tank.>>28797031Fuck you. It has been years, and I did not need to remember that.
>>28796419It's weird how a machine like this can be considered small
>>28796451>fuck you” money…Yeah and you have to be at sea for months without seeing your family and getting robbed by pirates
>>28802832The real question is what /o/ considers fuck you money.
>>28796361Hell yeah heavy equipment thread! I’ve got about 50 heavily wooded acres and every so often I take a look at old Cat high track dozers like the D4H and D5H. I know an excavator is much more versatile in the woods but damnit I want a Cat dozer. It would be mega overkill but a D6R LGP would be my dream machine to fuck around with.
>>28801451Looks small till you notice the 44 gallon drum to the left
>>28802813it weighs 20 tonnes, just barely enough to qualify as class 1 loader in my country
>>28796361i've never rolled anything but in december I snapped the driveshaft in one of work's International straight trucks and it shredded the air brake lines too. our mobile mechanic hated me that week
>>28802911at least 10k/mo
>>28802923>has 50 acresWhat
>>28796433I kneel
>>28802970Being North American based with a good union we don’t make third world pay. As an Engineering officer I can gross over $20k/month with minimal overtime. Most time sailing is feet up shitposting. Real work is when something breaks or winter maintenance.
