Where's the tow bar for the mechanic truck? I see the 600 has already assumed the position. Belly pans down, hood up ;)

I was talking to the op in the pub a few months back and he was saying that he was working for a firm on a 385C (from new) and this new Komatsu runs rings round it!

Not sure how they drive as i'm a Field Service Engineer and not a good operator !!! . Both the operators seem happy though ,one previously drove a Liebherr and the other a Hitatchi of the same class.

Yeah i work for Komatsu, the Hitatchi was hired in until they got their Pc800 delivered. Cant remember the exact model, the arm & bucket was off it to move it so i would say it was at least a Zaxis 670 size unit

Its the OLSS system . But now has a totally different hydraulic pump .a very large twin pump with fan pump,PTO pump on the side. It is EPC controlled and has no jet sensor hoses, now has sensors fitted that send electrical signals to the pump from the jet sensor valves on the block.
