M'gosh. High lift is right!

almost 6x bigger bucket than the 12 yard Hough eye operated. That building floor, that don't have no re-compaction and steel r'nuthin'....
Imagine the size of the shop and equipment needed to work on it.
Takes 2 days to change a tire!
We had a couple of scrapers at the shop waiting to get picked up for a few weeks. Guy comes to pick one up and drops a tire off the edge of the trailer, cutting the sidewall and blowing it out. Next day, the tire shop came out to replace it. It took the one guy only about an hour to get it changed out.

Used tire was only 4k.
Damn! Dock that chink a days pay for stupid!
I'm sure that little screw up ate up their profits for that haul.
Stuff happens in a jiffy.... cray cray screw
We even asked him if he wanted help backing it up on the trailer, he said "I've got it". Machine even has cameras on the back and sides.
Without blood, it doesn't count!

Just like other heavy equipment, the cost of it would mean you'd be doing certified rebuilds on it probably 4-6 times. Any engine, trans, hydro system work would have to go in to a shop. Contamination control would require that much.

Just talked to a dude travels to China and Japan for work frequently

Compared to the tech in Japan (now using 16K), we are Tech circa 1995. The bewildering array of things they use daily and not offered overseas would bend your mind.

Downtime is the killer on such rolling stock... repair at all costs in field if possible sparing shop time/delays.

Remember? An American in Saudi Arabia phoned the late brother, asked to buy his entire 12 yard Hough Payloader (we got it out of the Berkley Pit after they closed, also got the small 9 yard rock bucket)
just to ship the ENGINE to Arabia to install in one blown there.

Eye took photos of it, cannot find them anywhere, there are NONE on the internet, was a bit bigger than a Cat 990 with longer engine compartment and twin stacks

Anyone investing that much coin into a machine it most likely going to have a facility built on-site to handle it. Arranging that for hauling would be a nightmare. I'm sure with the cost of that machine, they'll have contract maintenance tacked onto the bill.

Imagine the size of the shop and equipment needed to work on it.
I could be wrong but I bet that particular piece of equipment only sees the shop once per lifetime.
Just like other heavy equipment, the cost of it would mean you'd be doing certified rebuilds on it probably 4-6 times. Any engine, trans, hydro system work would have to go in to a shop. Contamination control would require that much.
Downtime is the killer on such rolling stock... repair at all costs in field if possible sparing shop time/delays.

Remember? An American in Saudi Arabia phoned the late brother, asked to buy his entire 12 yard Hough Payloader (we got it out of the Berkley Pit after they closed, also got the small 9 yard rock bucket)
just to ship the ENGINE to Arabia to install in one blown there.

Eye took photos of it, cannot find them anywhere, there are NONE on the internet, was a bit bigger than a Cat 990 with longer engine compartment and twin stacks

Anyone investing that much coin into a machine it most likely going to have a facility built on-site to handle it. Arranging that for hauling would be a nightmare. I'm sure with the cost of that machine, they'll have contract maintenance tacked onto the bill.
Just an engine replacement would take many days/weeks
Probably not too bad to do an engine swap. Our senior guy can have an engine out of a compactor (basically a loader converted to steel wheels and a dozer blade) in a day. If a new one was on hand, I'll bet it could be turned around in 3 days.
Without blood, it doesn't count!

They had an epic used gun dept. Got a NIB 1970's Walter PPK from them in addition to the 375 HH,
$2000 seemed like a lot for an unused 1974 rifle when 25 years old but Belgian in that condition are scarce and FIL Gene had just passed, was "Gene's Gun" homage.

45 years old, still unused.
This one is dinged and nicked to death, ours perfect in the rice wrapper with all tags, manual, etc. No trigger lock neither.

375 Holland remains a superb all purpose cartridge with substantial stopping power, a rimmed rarity

55,000 died per day in World War II

or 1,650,000 per month for 6 years

Our 15 year Vietnam dead total every day...
