I have some pictures of one of these working East of Dallas on my camera phone.

Aint no way I'm posting them though.

I couldn't believe the machine is stickered up, CAT , D7E and all. Normally these type of machines run under cover for awhile. Anybody close want's to see it it's on a Austin bridge job at the edge of Lake Ray Hubbard on I-30.

There's really not much reason to try to hide something that can be seen on a public website and has been featured in trade magazines for a few months. Even if it's running without markings anybody with a keen eye is going to notice it is different.

Lousiana Machinery put one together in their shop for a demo machine. they called me to come take a look at it, run it, and take to the engineers. It is a very impressive machine in the area of control, very smooth, visibility and quiet. I couldnt hear it run with the doors closed, which is something i dont like especially when it doesnt have a decelarator, just a brake. The engineers told me they are targeting this machine to all areas of work with emphisis on gps grading and 24hr mining work.

Why would you not post them?

Are you thinking that Cat's counter-intelligent secret agents will sneak into your bedroom and put bamboo shoots under your fingernails?
