let me guess... this would be a non smoking area
:ban Seriously though, with that much firepower stockpiled, do you guys have to have an armed guard or have it locked into a bunker?Looks like the 385 is missin a door, opps. Great photos as always,

Is that old 950 straight frame?
I used to run a 966C, the thing was a beast. It could do some interesting things like climb out of some decent sized (straight walled) sub cuts
Cat Loaders earned that good reputation, they are the best in the business. I've tried Volvo and Deere and they just didn't feel right...
I'm not really biased to Cat with everything, only loaders.
For hoes, I've run Deere, Komatsu and Cat and I think they're all great in different ways.
For Rock trucks I like the Volvos.
I also tried out a John Deere 750 dozer this summer and thought it was great...

yeah ive run volvo loader i found them great when they are running but when they break hahaha its always something big. the loader had power to go in to the pile but the hydro was weak i think it would only need a tune up. anyways that loader just hops around when they need it they have a new loaders. but when they need a fill in she gets the job
