komatsu 8tonner!

Post #1 by tone_rmz250 » Thu Jan 24, 2008 7:38 pm

Today i have been driving a 1year old komatsu 8ton machine,
i hired it off a friend of mine sam daw he has a selection of machines starting at 1ton up to a 21ton-6 komatsu
also a 13ton-7 komatsu which he has only recently taken delivery of.
i notice that on the a*se end of this machine someone has taken the paint off the counter weight, which is fairly clever as its a zero tail swing model! anyway the chap that did it ended up with the sack for his troubles! :thumbs_up:

Nice little machine Tone :thumbs_up:

I would expect that is very similar to operate to the PC138 that I was operating back along for BCL Plant.

Sad to see the damage to the back end :cry: You have to be a special kind of "Numpty" to such damage to a machine :dizzy:

yeah you do mate! its very nice to operate, i found it was a bit on the "sluggish" side although it has plenty of power. and it seem to have less space in the cab than that little yanmar i posted earlier this week
