Popular Post 2stacksuperdog Posted May 13, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted May 13, 2014 We just kept them up here, we dont throw anything awayThats the truth. Go to any construction company thats been around a while and they usually have a bunch of old stuff as long as they didn't need money and scrap the stuff. Best example is Suzio York Hill. They have their quarry full of all their old equipment. B81s , Dm800s , Autocars as far as you can see. 3 Quote Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

j_martell Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 Pulled a few loads of ballast rock out of Paris today, thus thing could max me out (well almost, 33,000kg gvw) in a bucket and a half. Pit we used to go to had a smaller cat that needed 5 or 6 buckets......Truck seems big till a 980 is beside you...,Not a cat, but talking about feeling small.

41chevy Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 We had a few 980's when I worked for Horan Sand and Gravel , I was always impressed by them.My little Cat is in my Avatar, it holds my mail box and annoys the yuppies across the street.

hicrop10 Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 We had one of the first 983's here in PA.Wasn't the best loader we had,it was always overheating,and the ass end was a little light.We all heated the first one dd went out and traded it in on another one.The best track loader we had over the years were the Komatsu D155S,it had a 6 and half yard bucket and all the balls you needed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carlotpilot Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 A friend of mine took this pic of a CAT loader that was sitting a little to high on this step deck. I guess the driver only madeit down the road a couple miles before the first bridge made short work of this tractor.wonder how many teeth the driver lost in that mishap. who had to pay the bill?

rsb502 Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 its hard to beat a 980 for loading trucks, seems like they are the perfect size, that old 963 looks great, Ive seen 963C's in worse shape for sure Quote "Any Society that would give up a little LIBERTY to gain a little SECURITY will Deserve Neither and LOSE BOTH" -Benjamin Franklin"If your gonna be STUPID, you gotta be TOUGH" "You cant always get what you want, but if you try sometimes you get what you need" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
