JD 800C pics

[greywynd]

They just opened anew hospital here in town, and the old one (next door) is being demo'd. I didn't know they were in the process already, until driving by one day last week. I grabbed a couple pics out the window.

The first two pics are a JD 800C, high reach, with a closer pic of the shear.

3rd and fourth pics are other machines on teh same site, but I couldn't see model numbers....but I'm willing to bet there are those on here that will be able to identify them for us.

Wow, those are good looking Hitachis....:D

Im impressed someone knows enough to put something other than a Universal processor on an hrd machine. They just dont have the cutting power that a shear has

Looks like a 450DLC and 2- 450CLC. Guessing the cat is a 963C. But thanxs for the pics :thumbsup

Nice pics !...I always enjoy seeing Murray's at work, they are top drawer !
I'm with 'Deereman' on this....two 450CLC's and a 450D LC. (They make-up majority of Murray's fleet) Too bad they don't have their 850D LC on-site there, it's a beauty.
I would also guess the loader is a CAT963C....I'm still not used to seeing CAT machines on a Murray site, but I guess they're using Thomson's CAT's after they bought them out. Almost suprising, seeing as though Murray Demolition's owner isn't a CAT guy, and is 100% DEERE.

leverpuller,
you are correct in a way but, its not all hitachi. Its a joint venture. Alot of ppl think hitachi does all the work but deere has their standards. And if it wasn't for alot of the deere dealers it would be a whole lot harder to get parts for big orange. Just a rumor from a time ago that deere and hitachi just about had a falling out and was in the market for another hoe company to go in with or buy. And daewoo was throwed in there :beatsme. I hated when deere went with the isuzu motors in the 450D. I wish the 6135 motor was in all three 4,6, and 850D. :IMO

Deereman,

I was starting to think I was losing it:crazy, because I have always understood that it wasn't really a Hitachi in Deere clothes (or vise versa) either. I have to agree that Deere does put a lot more than just paint and an engine into the design of the excavators, I don't work for deere so I wouldn't know how much, but isn't that what "joint venture" means... working together?:beatsme

PS: Nice photos, please feel free to post lots more:popcorn

JB42, your correct but the way most ppl talk about it is like its all hitachi. I guess it really doesn't matter but I just want deere to have a little cred when it comes to productiing a good hoe'.:D
