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.
