Hey Wulf i know you are not being a smarta$$ and i am all for the "KISS" principle but what you have to realise is that being on the cutting edge of engineering at Cat needs to be a bit more elaborate than just loseing counterweight, can you imagine an engineer presenting his new idea of loseing counterweight in the boardroom at Cat? i think not. Wulf you are spot on with your other quote, the engine in the 992K is a C-32 which is basically a 3412 block with your higher inj pressures, different materials and a couple of other tricks added. The 92K will be a true production loader with the 785 size truck now as it is getting a big jump in size from the G
The 991K for all intents will be based on the 992G. Currently a high lift version (longer boom) is available for the 992G but this will not be offered on the 991K -dont want to cut into the next size up machines category
With the closing of the 992 - 994 gap i think you can all guess the upsizeing the next generation 994 will get, my guess just a tad bigger than the other big mechanical loader.
