Nice pic Paul
Here's a pic of a Cat 345C that I took a few days back now but haven't had the chance to post yet.
This machine is being used on the same site as the Cat 972 wheel loader that I posted pics of last week. Thanks John345me.

Looks like the guy on that 345 youve posted jeremy isnt very good! Muck over the track and on to the accsess step on the side and just look at the amount of muck on the panel on the cab side! I hate to think what the counterweight looks like!

Joe

i know what you mean joe its my dads mate who owns this 345 and 972 and a d6r its a tip they are working on but looks more like a bog he lets his young son drive it hes only 14 that why it looks like it does

Not the best thing to do with what would be a very expensive mistake if anything goes wrong! If i had machines like that theres no way in gods earth id ever let my son or daughter anywhere near them if they made them look like that!

Joe

if you look at the dipper arm covered in oil thats were he hit the top pipes on the back of the dumper i cant think what he was doing with the arm to do that

Well I'm glad my dad let me drive when I was 8 onwards!! In all honesty it's the best time to learn!!

Nick

snap i used to go with my dad when i was young to but never got in to a mess like these do on that job

same here lads, my dad let me drive after i shoveled the coal in boiller digger so old had a thatched roof

I wish my dad was in the industry....i was 19 when i first drove a machine unless you count the 2 or 3 times id been to diggerland in devon.
