Any operator that does not check the bucket has engaged with the hitch correctly and fitted the safety pin if one is fitted should be sent down the road and have any card or ticket taken off them. WHY you may ask? Well in my humble opinion if they cant get out the cab to check its on ok and risk som...

Yes pretty sure its a Cat 613 cwater bowser conversion.

Coal board ran 82-30B's when D8's stopped being made in the UK. If any operator ever saw under the seat of a B then they woudnt drive one, a dirty big fan to keep the rad cool or try too is under there. If it ever let go you could get a job in the soprano choir!

There is a few around but compared to Caterpillar,Ca...

Sounds like a Terex 82-30 or 40 to me. These machines did use nitrogen in the track adjusters.

A few of these Komatsu motorscrapers were or maybe still are working at Kilvington gypsum mine nr Newark Nottinghamshire. They belong to HCL i think but that may be incorrect. The Komatsu WS23S-2 had a Komatsu SA6D140E-1 engine( the dash 1 had a Cummins KT-1150-1A engine), a suspended front axle wit...
