What is your dream piece of heavy equipment?

[Anonymous Poster]

I am new to this forum and thought I would throw this question out to get the hydraulic fluid pumping in this forum again.

If you could have any make/model/type of heavy equipment every made what would it be and why would you want it?

I think I would go with the biggest baddest trackhoe or dozer ever made, most likely made by Cat or John Deere.

Oh man why just ONE? I would have to agree with you with getting the biggest baddest dozer or excavator and then maybe dig and bury some towns in a couple hours. /w3tcompact/icons/laugh.gif /w3tcompact/icons/grin.gif

Darin, I was thinking the same thing. As long we're limited to one free toy I'd like a Komatsu PC160LC. Why? Because it will fit on the driveway. <A target="_blank" HREF=http://www.equipmentcentral.com/north_america/new_equipment/machine_data.cfm?cfid=946250&cftoken=95427215&prdt_id=769>http://www.equipmentcentral.com/north_america/new_equipment/machine_data.cfm?cfid=946250&cftoken=95427215&prdt_id=769</A>

a Letourneau L-2350 wheel loader <A target="_blank" HREF=http://www.letourneau-inc.com/pdf/equipment/mining/L-2350.pdf>http://www.letourneau-inc.com/pdf/equipment/mining/L-2350.pdf</A> with 2300 horse power, 500gpm hydraulic pump, 53 cubic yard bucket, and 289000 lbs. of break out force. Just imagine if you could put a backhoe on it. /w3tcompact/icons/love.gif Now that would be sweet.
you could upgrade the brush-hog for a tree-hog. /w3tcompact/icons/laugh.gif/w3tcompact/icons/laugh.gif/w3tcompact/icons/laugh.gif

Hi Darren youd really enjoy a 160-7. The company i work for part time as an operator and mechanic has a new pc160-7lc and a new 300 rented. The owners swore theyd not buy any thing non Cat but the price and value of the Komatsu is excellent. We have 30,000 yards of material to move and have 2 Moxy Haul trucks and and some ten wheelers. Also 3 TS14 Terex Scrapers running and a D5B abd 2 D8L's spreading and finishing. Its about a 3 week job.

D8L... that would due... mmmmmmmm....

Hell, I'd settle for a skidsteer or somthing if they were handing it out... /w3tcompact/icons/laugh.gif
