My New Rig - Burnin21 - 07-11-2007
Hey guys,

That there is 126,000lbs of pure steel loaded with A/C, 50 foot reach, a magnet strong enough to lift just about anything and a Cat Acert Technology C13 pushing 345hp and over 500ft/lbs of torque under the hood ;). Boo yeah, top speed is a whooping 6mph too ;)
I was just assigned this machine this week and had the need to express :lol:
Any other heavy equipment junkies on this site?

Sandvik Tamrock Jumbo Drills

Sure is cool to see how big these suckers are in person.

I like big toys like that.
I'd like to try the magnet on track thing.. that must be cool to swing stuff around...

Yeah, I get to operate some cool stuff in the military, but nothing like that...looks like fun :)
My New Rig - Burnin21 - 07-12-2007
The 345 is a blast I must say. You know whats funny? Sandvik Tamrock is right around the corner from my work and we receive TONNES of scrap from them. I've had a tour of their plant, its pretty cool actually :)
With this thing you can toss stuff every where, a 4000lb Pickup doesnt even make the hydralics flinch.
