Re: New drivers CPC

I totally agree with all the above comments, its all a load of BO**OCKS, i'm sure there are plenty of people who are out of work or trying to earn a crust who are put off going into trucking or heavy equipment operating because of the expense and red tape! What a surprise to find out the rest of eur...

Re: Caterpillar 950

Excellent find, there cannot be many of them kicking about i the UK.
It would make a nice little project restoring it back to its former glory.

Re: Caterpillar's purchase of Bucyrus

I'm looking forward to seeing photos of the ex bucyrus machines in cat colours, i dont think the photoshopped images on the cat website do them justice. I agree with SRB and Gavin84w about the 5000 series machines, when you browse through various forums and they all spout the same information about ...

Re: Safety gone mad

I hate the slogans "where there's blame there's a claim" and "no win no fee" no wonder our insurance premiums are going through the roof. To me there should be a common sense law applied to all of these cases and if it was deemed common sense was applied then the case should be t...

Re: UK Coal RH120-C & RH20-E

Excellent photos L.Kezz :thumbup:

There is nothing better than turning up to a site with your camera to find machines working close to the boundary with the sun shining on them!

Re: Wardles D10T?

Sweet photos Stu :thumbup: Its the first time i've seen mesh fitted to a dozer which looks smart, though i dont like the handrails near the cab, it seems to be a big H&S thing at the moment, its sprouting up on Excavators and other machines which i think spoils the appearance! Regards Mike D550 ...

Re: New TR100's dogging on

Excellent photos Stu :thumbup: What do the operators think of them?

Was there any particular reason for buying Terex as opposed to Cat or Komatsu Haulers?

Re: How many left?

I was at Shotton only a couple of months ago and saw some of their 631/637's parked up. I had a conversation to one of the site supervisors about them and he said they would probably not get put to work again! Sad news as i watched these machines strip the top soil for the Fox Covert and Shotton sit...
