Pretty cool. I could be completely wrong, but I believe Hvy 1ton in Kansas has a machine similar to that one.

I wish I had those LGP pads.

Figured all the Priestman's had been cut up for scrap and shipped off to China to make cheap steel.

I ran one briefly in the mid 80's in NJ. It was a different animal. Don't think they sold too many in the US.

Im pretty sure there aren't to many around any more. The first thing that caught my eye was the tracks

For myself, in the 80's I remember there were several rental companys who owned such a machine in Holland to make dikes and slopes. Also for ditchcleaning they were popular. After the development of the long-reach or long front machines, Priestman VC 20 were sold.

Cat328,

First of all, thanks for your always interesting posts both gere and on DHS's website.

Where is this VC20 parked? Just curious to know, as we were one time a Preistman dealer in the late 80's-early 90's. May be one of ours...

Thanks,
Tony
