Hi to all.

Yep the last few pics definately a 580D but fitted with an old 580/580B dipper stick wow interesting (well to sad geeks like me).



More Hymac pics please, yes I said more.

Thank you

Nice pics cool 8-) Anyway what do you mean you wouldnt like to pic up the repair bill? Seen your insurance premiums lately :dizzy: Lets see do insurance companies exist to make a loss :?: Err I guess thats a big NO NO then. Guess somebody on board wasnt very adept at strapping large loads down then ...

Hi John & Nick, Well I know that Hymac offered a face shovel configuration on the following models; :ugeek: 580, 580B, 580BT, 580C, 610, 610C, 880, 880C, 890, 1080 and 1290. I have no reason to believe that they did not offer this on the 590 and 590C either. Im sure that JCB also offered likewis...

Yes and Yes again!

I will post just a few pics here but if you want more then if you e-mail me I will send them to you. :!: I have pics of Hymac, Poclain, Case, F...

Heres an old Liebherr 900 rubber duck. This machine is pre-litronic era but appears to be in good condition, how long that will last I dont know because the waste transfer site that its operating on has already gone through a Poclain 90 and two Daewoo machines.

Here are a couple of pics of a Hymac 590C equiped with an electro magnet for scrap handling applications. My thanks to the owner Mr Jason Hughes who kindly had the machine started and operated so I could take these pictures :thumbs_up: This machine is one of two such machines the other now being use...
