lets talk looks

[JaredV]

Always liked the looks of most of the friction and cable cranes and shovels of the '40s on up. Link-Belt, Bucyrus Erie, Northwest with the orange sides and black rounded roof. Unit, very trim and compact looking. Almost any dozer/crawler that has a hood wider in the front than the back just says power. Some of the old 2wd Dynahoes looked like muscle.

Any thing that
1 makes money
2 has good parts and support available
3 has a warm or cooled cab that's quiet.
4 that I'm getting payed to repair.
Looks good to me

For me it has to be a BBX series 953C trackloader.



Room for your best buddy to ride along as well.

I like the styling of older Cat machines from the late 60's and 70's. More rounded profiles and more compact. The kind of rails along the back sides of the 953C and some other Cat machines take away from the overall esthetics.

Some sharp looking equipment here, flow through ventilation and all the dirt you can eat.
*Notice the front one the roof in back is tipped up--air foil.

Aerodynamic bulldozers. The wing on top must add incredible downforce to make it stick to the ground.

Always liked the looks of Forestry Excavators/Loaders/Processors, Particularly Deere, Hitachi and Link Belt. Just something about the shape of the cab and a high walker undercarriage.

Also got to say that the Paint Scheme on a Northwest crane in my eyes is really sharp, Black, Orange and the writing on nameplate in white.

For me it has to be a sunbelt green kubota skidsteer. As soon as you place your ass down in the wet seat you know it’s gonna be a good day! It’s not just the looks it’s the smell too a blend of manure dust and yup dried blood and tears!

But any of the big hydraulic mining excavators covered in filth as they should be

For me I'd have to say the Allis-Chalmers HD-11 Series B, or Fiat-Allis 11-B tractor with open ROPS. Same tractor under the decals. Why? Because this one is mine and I just kind of like it:

I have always had a soft spot for 977H's I spent a good part of my 20's on one and it was just a fun decade in general

That's actually some pretty bad ass fabrication skills.

 

[nicky 68a]

If I didn’t like the look of D8H and D8K tractors, I wouldn’t have had as many as I did lol

 

[KSSS]

Those are some impressive Fab skills, if he had only taken into consideration the need to keep the big beast cool, he would have gotten even farther.

I think it fell into a basement with one track.It did appear to be getting hot though.

Nut Job.

Always thought the Cat 416 and 420’s were the sexiest backhoes made.
