slpwlker Posted July 21, 2013 Share Posted July 21, 2013 Saw this Link Belt on Friday. Somebody smashed the side access panel real good.Seen a 330 that had damage like that from bothsides. When it went in the drink they decided wrap cables in front of the counterweight and drag the bastard out. It wasn't pretty Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/30819-excavators/page/6/#findComment-195087 Share on other sites More sharing options...

PeterMack Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 Here's a good wrecked one I know you guys will enjoy. No operator error here though. This was a trucker fail. Guy had thisloaded to high on his trailer and slammed into a bridge with it. I'm assuming he had it on a flatbed as this is a small machineand the bridge he hit is about 14ft high, but I didn't get to see it at the scene, just the aftermath. Bent the boom, knocked itoff the trailer and into the median, knocked the track off. Was a new machine, whoops! 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/30819-excavators/page/6/#findComment-195366 Share on other sites More sharing options...

PeterMack Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 This is a tree stumper we had at the land clearing company I used to work for. I think the machine was a Kobelco butI can't remember for sure.The stumper was run off its own motor in the box on the front. Neat little machine.

PeterMack Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 Here is a 345 I took a picture of at the CAT booth out at the Con-Expo in Vegas back in 05. Also got the CATAmerican Choppers bike that was in the back of a dump truck. Cool show. I am planning on going next spring.If your into construction equipment this is definitely a show you need to get to at least once. Only comes aroundevery three years and takes at least 2 full days to see. 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/30819-excavators/page/6/#findComment-200197 Share on other sites More sharing options...

slpwlker Posted September 15, 2013 Share Posted September 15, 2013 Nothing like walking off the road and sinking and doing everything you can to save it and still sinking none the less.
