hi sorry if I open the discussion, on the net I saw some photos of the mythical Euclid. in addition to the dumpers and scrapers, I saw some crawlers and some loaders. I have seen a large buldozer with 2 motors, one to transmit the movement, I believe to each track, if I have not misunderstood, I believe that the size was larger than the D10 caterpillar I think about 48 tons of tonnage, I have seen some wheel loaders, crawler loaders I think some Euclid terex L600 or L 500 if I'm not mistaken. what could you tell me about this prestigious historical brand like caterpillar and the other survivors. I believe now absorbed by Hitachi if I'm not mistaken. thank you, maybe the chronological time sequence with the succession of construction of the various models, which I believe adopted the green color of the Italian type Hydromac as a livery. thanks sorry for the inconvenience.
Euclid TC12 bulldozer which is nicknamed “The Jolly Green Giant” in action.
The Euclid TC12 entered the dozer market back in 1955 and featured a somewhat unusual design it featured twin GM 6-71 engines which were mounted on each side of a split frame they produced a combined total of 402- 425hp depending on year of manufacture
At the time of its launch the TC12 was the largest and at 40 tons in weight by far the heaviest dozer on the market
