A few shots of the 657G's at a new mineral sands project in Northern Victoria.
Extremely abrasive materials - check out the wear on the edge that was replaced.

More great pictures, Gary, Thanks for sharing them with us. I would imaging the mineral sand wears the running gear of the pushers unless you don't use them at this site. Does it cause very high wear rates on the tyres as well as the earth contact parts ?

The cabs on the 657G's sure have come a long way since the old "B" series. No more exhaust fumes in the cab, heat or noise.
Adjustable steering columns, "sports steering wheels", one lever implement control - almost too good.
A couple of units are fitted with GPS systems - see the screen above the control lever in the first picture.

Great pictures - what's the big red button - fire suppression or kill everything?

Great pictures, Stinger, looks like a sizeable hole they've dug there.

Congratulations, beautiful images, how you got there 657G in this work?, Plus photos algus you have videos of them at work? I plan to mount a 657G in 1:10 scale, already did a TS-14F, so I'm looking for the maximum of information from the 657G.
