That backhoe is about 20,000, +- 4000, I think.

The spec weight on that is between like 14,500 and 24k. I’m not sure how they came up with such a wide spread unless they’re considering the FEL lift capacity in the max weight. I really doubt that machine is over 16k.

Ritchie Brothers who provided the data site is an equipment auction house. I doubt they pulled the numbers out of their,,, hat. I am reasonably sure the low weight is with just enough fuel for it to run, no ballast in the tires etc. But even at 16k, it's loaded on what looks to be a 10k trailer that has a payload in the neighborhood of 7500#

Here is a copy of the weight specs from Cat. I would assume the low weight figure is 4x2, no cab or bucket, bare bones.

Operating Weight – Nominal 14,953 lbs
Operating Weight – Maximum 24,251 lbs
Cab, ROPS/FOPS 368 lbs
Air Conditioning 57 lbs
Four Wheel Drive 397 lbs
MP Bucket (0.96 m3/1.25 yd3) 1,642 lbs (no forks or teeth)
Extendible Stick 664 lb
Front Wheel Counterweights (Option 1) 255 lbs
Counterweights (Option 2) 530 lbs
Counterweights (Option 3) 1,015 lbs

I don’t see how they’re getting to 24k even if it has every option. That’s what a Deere 710 weighs and a cat 416 isn’t the machine a 710 is. My Deere 410 has an extend a hoe, an optional 1100 pound counter weight, and 4x4 and it’s not over 20k. That 416 probably isn’t even equal to a Deere 410 and definitely not a 710.

It’s no doubt way more than that trailer is rated for. But that’s not a 24,000 pound machine either.

So frequently I am on the phone on my way home - in-car bluetooth. Most evenings it's 15 minutes up to the full hour of the drive. I'm looking straight ahead at the road and talking to the air the whole time. Many times I have been a passenger, or been directly behind drivers who have not been on the phone, but instead been conversing with another passenger, and they often turn their head toward the person they are talking to. Based on my experience, carpooling is far less safe than hands free cell use.

Maybe the largest/heaviest attachment for the hoe and the front at the same time might equal the 24k??

Apparently the `110 year jail sentence was reduced.

Good. The driver is an idiot but murder wasn't his intent when he started out that day.

(A lifetime ban on a driver's license might be appropriate too).
