Yes, there are 2 at Burton Downs. There is also one at Downer EDI on contract work for FMG in the Pilbara and at least one more at KPC. All backhoes to my knowledge.

Yes; what happened to the front shovel that was photographed in the Colmar yard, and appears in the brochure?

Is the shovel attachment in storage awaiting an order, or is it working somewhere that none of us have learned of yet?

I was surprised to read in the VDMA "Best of Germany 2012" that there are already eight R9400 in operation. Does anybody know how all of these machines are configured?

There is another 9800 into Fortescue for EDI.

They also have 4 R9400 and there are 2 in the Hunter Valley, one of them is at Liddells. All backhoes to my knowledge.
