Cat = Hitachi

When I just bought the Hitahi E60urg thair was this big Cat right next to it and someone came by and said that his Hitahi was the same right down to the tin.

Nope, the Hitachi is a Deere or Hitachi Makes for Deere is correct. Cat is a Mitsubishi or part of Shin Caterpillar Mitsubishi..not to be confused with Mitsubishi Caterpillar Forklift America. Is ANY ONE keeping score???.........Never mind...would be out of date tomorrow.

Terex/IR/Bobcat?

Does anyone know if Terex made the IR ZX125, and if so has anyone ran one? Does anyone have any info on the Terex mid size? Just wondering, I was thinking of buying the IR ZX125 but IR doesnt have any website for them anymore, guess because they arent in production. Any info would be very helpful!!!!!
Thanks,
Tri-Star

Ok,,got your score card out?
The Ingersoll Rand 12.5 ton and 7 ton were made by the German company Schaff...Who made the mini excavators for New Holland until Kobelco came in the picture and makes the mini's for Case and New Holland...and yes, Kobelco.
Deep breath...Ingersol Rand is now owned, at least the big part, by Volvo..and Schaff is now owned by Terex..Who sells Doosan Excavators and Wheel loaders.
Have a good day.

Hi All,:)

Here in England you can buy Hyundai Excavators and also a range of Excavators made buy Hyundai but badged by the South African ADT maker Bell, exactly the same machines just with slightly different paint job, not sure how they compare on price??

:notworthy

Nick.

As far as I know, Kato makes Bell excavators, but I don't know anything of Hyundai and Bell sleeping in the same bed. I will try to find out though.

My Cat dealer told me as we were looking at a 385D that Cat has or is going to buy Buycyrus to start making mining shovels and the like... anyone else heard of this?

Cat developed it's own excavator line, orginaly. The 200 series was all Cat, started with the 225 in 1972 I think. The E and 300 series came from the Cat-Mitsubushi joint venture.

Interesting. Case and Terex in this country are run by the same people.

Now what about Doosan / Bobcat.:stirthepot
