Re: Traxcavators On Demolition
Nice pic of the IH Crawler.That bloke doesn't have much vision....it would be a long day inside that little space.
I suppose even the ugly cabs were well liked when the weather got bad.
I'm one of those idiots who likes open ROPS canopies,where you can feel & see everything going on.Nothing like going home after a day on the D8H ,wearing 2 yards of topsoil on your face.
CD players,pilot controls & heaters are just extra fluff to me....& don't even mention airconditioning.
We in Australia are lucky to have such good,temperate weather.

Re: Traxcavators On Demolition

Yes I've been into the website a few times Craig-we did some muckaway for them a couple of years back-there's a pic of them loading my Scania in" Highways and Infrastructure" -Picture 4

Re: Traxcavators On Demolition
Still finding the odd gem like the first pic , was going to keep it for my forthcoming 'Bedford Tippers at Work' eggstravaganza but it fits this topic more ........

Re: Traxcavators On Demolition
Great pics there again Craig!
What's the machine in the first pic? - looks like the wrong loader arm/ram setup for a cat I think.
The cab is a Winsam, very popular (and deafening) on agricultural machines of the time.

Never seen a Winsam on a tracked loader before.
