Man, Finning seem to have done pretty well selling 777F,s, seems like quite a few sites have fleets of them.

What do the guys think of the 385C?

I couldnt tell you what they think of the 385C but i for one wouldnt mind having a play in it! Looks an awesome bit of kit....and that wierd for me to say as i normally cant stand the cat's haha

They love the 385 at Lodge House. It's quite happy loading 777's all day and just as quick as the RH120s

Hi joe great pics of lodge house is uk coal got any more new sites starting soon .I have been to stobswood and maidenshall the the staff at uk coal are really decent guys.Keep up the good work regards rh120.

[Joes1989]

If i remember rightly the 385 was loading the 777's in 8-10 passes.....it looks really quick for a 90+ tonne machine. When i was taking the pics it really hit home how much i want to get in the saddle of something that size.....

Ive not heard anything about any new UK Coal sites but im pretty sure that L.Kezz (forum member and my mate) mentioned something about a site near ilkeston.......

Cheers

Joe

P.S i should be going back down on saturday morning soo check back soon incase of new pics!

Thanks for the replies gents, good to hear they like the 385, i have a customer with 2 CLME machines loading 775E/F and it is perfect for them. 8-10 passes is a bit slow really as 777,s don,t make money stopped getting loaded.

Lots of new kit in UK Coal at the moment it seems, everyone has to turn the lights and heaters on.
