just a few pics of sum of the tackle we use in tyne dock coal terminal

Some serious coal blades!

Are they custom made or from a larger dozer?

Hi Andy,
Excellent photos , do you still have the D8 up there? I managed to get a site visit there a couple of years ago and got some nice photos of the 155.

The 155 blades are original blades modified by mst Dah but the 2 d8s are original cat coal blades as is the blade on the 764 its a cat d9t coal blade adapted to fit that tractor ill post sum more pics soon as I get sum ill check the plate on the big blade im sure its summit like 60 yrds !! & yes mike we still have the old d8r ( best tractor on the dock we reckon ) & also now a lemon of a d8t its either getting fixed or waiting for bits to get fixed ha ha.

I bet visibility is a bit of a nightmare isn't it?!

On the plus side I doubt there's much trimming up!

its a bit like looking at the side of a 20ft site container all day ya right big kit just keep it tidy enough so your not bouncing out the seat when your running back ,coal job gone dead now so be out on hire on whatever for a bit now I reckon.
