The cab on the wrong side on that 996 or is there a reason for it being on the right?

They're in austrailia, they drive on the opposite side of the road

They're in austrailia, they drive upside down on the opposite side of the road

fixed...

And it takes a lot of skill to do it but we got bucket loads of that

An Aussie guy told me the toilet water spins the other way? is this true ha ha ha.

Iam sure Liebherr would stick the cab on the boom if the price was right.

also holds true for draining bath water...

while theoretically yes, practically no as other influences are stronger than the coriolis effect.

how good are we down here? just ask us

Why do you say that mate?

 

[Gavin84w]

If you know 996,s this machine is one and they have photoshopped the 9800 designation on the back and when the pic had come out there were no 9800 face shovels built at that time as the backhoe was just being announced by the factory.

You are 100% correct. I just looked at the photo and said to myself R996 from the Veladero mine site, and didn’t even look at the numbers on the counter weight.

That looks like fun for about a day then I think i would have to worry about falling asleep. Never have been a fan of loading trucks all day but it would be cool playing with that big iron.
