Looks great Stuart.
Have Fiining been givern any classic machines to overhaul?
Finning Llantrisant did an engine repair on a 941 loader a few years back,
Did not get to the depot in time to photograph it.It is owned by a contractor from Bristol.

Hello Martyn,

We've rebuilt a R2 here in Cannock, and there is a 933 i think in Winsford but not sure who's it is.

A few pics of the monitoring system in the D10, which tells you some of the machine totals:

Hi Stuart, Do you have any details of the R2 rebuild ? I've recently bought one myself, and it needs quite a bit of work doing on it.....

Great topic Stuart, who's having the machine?

The D10 is off to Scotland for Scottish coal, machine and blade back together as one, a few pics to show the HID lighting...

Well the D10 is out of the shop, quick wash off and then on to a low loader and away North up the M6, next time we see the D10 hope to have knocked the paint off those tracks and a bit of a shine on the blade.
Parked next to a D6N to show the size difference.....

Great pictures, Stuart. The comparison with the D6 is interesting, the blade on the D10 looks only marginally wider than the D6 one, and maybe 2 - 3 times taller, not such a big difference as I would have expected.

Hi John,

Specs of the 2 blades as follows:

D6N LGP - VPAT Straight blade, 13'5" wide and a capacity of 4.13 yd3, weight of 2950kg.
D10T - SU blade, 15'11" wide with a capacity of 24.2 yd3, weight of 10229kg.

The spec tells more than the picture !!
Thanks, Stuart.
