They might have nearly shaken the "moth" title with that model Ross!!!

Good to see you over here Tim, it is an excellent forum and none of that silly stuff that goes on elsewhere.

That 994 Caterpillar makes the Komatsu WA 800 Which i used to work with look tiny!! Keep the pictures coming

Gizzy, was the WA800 in the China Clay pits. Tim, do you mind if I ask how tall you are to give it some perspective. These are some sweet set of pics. Hows the mine drying out in Australia after that Biblical flood, are thay back to full operation yet.

Hi Geraint. The wheel loader in the clay pits at Imerys Lee Moor used to be a WA 600 but is no longer there as imerys has finished. I have worked beside a WA800 and even though it was big it only weighed a 100 ton. The Cat 994 weighs in at a massive 200 tons!
