Sk 850
Thanks for the invite Mr. Country Boy. We all need to dig dirt.
Mr. ben46a No, I would love to say it is mine, but I got the chance to run one in California and actually talk to one of the design engineeers.
It was designed specifically to take on the 385, but be easier to move and break down. California is one of the worst to move heavy equipment. 175,000# is max on a trailer without pulling ctwt and more. That picture with it on the low boy is LEGAL Load and only no bucket and it outlifts the 385. You cannot believe the ctwt to do that.
Digging pictures are in Texas...We like them big here!!
The new picture, I got from the engineer, that is the shorter arm at 7 cubic yards in dirt. Engine is TierIII Komatsu...Bet they like that one, but Kobelco dealers can support it due to negotiations in Japan. Others use Isuzu...besides Chevy...Ha Ha, but it could not produce enough power to take on Cat nor could Cummins unless a very large Cummins.
Digging forces are among the best there is. One good thing about coming late, is you can check out everyone else.
Sk 350 H&W?? Just wait until you try that for stability..No basic limit.
Have fun!!
