If I remember right I think it was 6 weeks from the day the parts arrived to start up don't hold me to the time line

Gday Zed nice pics! Just by chance there wouldnt be a bloke there in his early sixties called Gary Cooper would there?
Gav, I think you mean Terex milked the O&K line. Bucyrus didn't have it long enough to drag them down like you mentioned.
I'm afraid you were told incorrect information. The deal was far more complicated by that, and Cat had no influence on the deal between Bucyrus and Terex Mining. This is supported by the fact that Cat was developing their own line of hydraulic shovels with the cooperation of another manufacturer when the opportunity arose for them to buy out Bucyrus. The other deal was promptly cancelled, and the Bucyrus acquisition was pursued. It would have been easier for Cat to buy out Terex Mining right off the bat, as smaller transactions would have been easier to get past regulators than one large transaction.
Also, Bucyrus did pour money into the O&K line, more in fact than most people realize.
I think you may be mistaken. I have no doubt you have a new shovel from O&K/Terex/Bucyrus/Cat, but I would put money on the fact that it's smaller than the RH400/6090. I think you are referring to the RH200 that All American Asphalt runs at it's gravel pit/quarry.

Great pics Zed!!! I have been searching for images of this unit on the net for months now and have come up empty handed.....until now! i assume that this is the first one of AKT's 6090's? How many are due this year?Are you based in Indo or just over there working on the assembly?
Please post some more of it loading/digging.....I have always had a bit of a "soft spot" for this shovel!!

Yes mate this is the first one for AKT, the next one is on the river right now and should be at the port within a day or 2. I did hear some news that the river is too high so maybe there will be a delay there. Not sure when #017 will arrive it is still in the U.S. So 2nd half of the year maybe for #017 and # 018.
And yes I am based in Indo for this job, a little birdy also told me there may be a 6090 electric coming our way soon, at a different mine.:drinkup
