Re: Amphibious excavator
Learning to swim eh Clive? Heking? should that not be 'SeaKing' Nice one mate
Joe I'd imagine that Heking is most likely from China so I guess that puts a whole new slant on things.

Re: Amphibious excavator
Correct Jeremy its from China! Made me cringe to when the idea came up. I did loads of research which involved about 4 months of emails etc, phone calls to Canada and brainstorming with the lads. To be honest everytime I came up with a reason not to buy it and posed it to the manufacturer they came up with a good reason why they did something that way. The Canadians had 5 of them and each time they proposed an improvement the Chinese took it on board. For example the machine tracks and turns really well because they put a slight curve on the underside of the pontoons which the other companies had n't done (they may have now). As for the rest the proof will be on the maiden voyage............
The build quality looks good to. There are a few little things and they are cosmetic, but nothing to right home about. Overall I'm very pleased.
I'll keep you posted.................
