@@brunogregurec4560 As and I operated a Liebherr, but they aren't as popular and parts are hard to get . I'm talking more of mainstream heavy equipment.
@@ericcarabetta1161 John Deere construction equipment is pretty close as I had a 330 and 450 excavator both brand new and had major problems. And they just aren't built as tough. That's my opinion.
I feel like this is the detail people want in a video, maybe even more, people like myself who only have minimal knowledge yet massive curiosity about heavy machinery/ earth moving equipment really enjoy all the details down to the type of steel used to rebuild ageing pieces.
Yes yes yes exactly. This stuff is soo cool but I haven't half a notion about any of it lmao. Would love a bit more in depth breakdown of machinery we see.
Regarding the efficiencies of diesel-electric drive, this is something the railroads figured out 70 years ago when they put steam locomotives out of business ... just spin a motor to generate 600vdc (or 480vac), and use it wherever it's needed. (Interestingly enough Caterpillar now owns EMD Diesel - one of the premiere locomotive manufacturers- via its Progress Rail subsidiary)
The blade on front of grader is very common in Canada for winter. Rather then push the front wheels into ditches to get snow to ditch you use the front blade…. Not often you see a grader without one here in winter
Yeah, our graders have the front blade, but ours are small graders, Leeboy 685's. 1st time I've seen a large frame grader with one. Certainly makes sense as truck drivers are always leaving piles 🤣
In North Dakota, lately a lot of the snow removal companyies have switched to the mini loaders rather than a skid steer. They can travel down the road (rather than on a trailer). They also put a arctic snow pusher on them and a mini loader does a much better job pushing a snow pusher. Now most landscape and concrete companies us skidsteers still for dirt work and fine grading.
I live in the north of Sweden, and yeah, I've never seen a skid steer on the road. Snow removal is almost exclusively done with loaders in cities and graders.on highways.
I can't believe how amazed he was with having a built in refueling pump. I don't think I've ever seen a machine over 10 ton class without one, hell I've driven old priestmans that were fitted with manual ones.
Yeh Hitachi excavators had on board fuelling on machine in Australia that worked on air vacuum that sucked fuel from a 44gal drums about 35year ago lol And most Volvo excavators have electric fuel pumps for years aswell 😏
23:14 I use to work for H.O.Penn in NY and I worked on a 992 that had no cab and it was driven into the shop without it. Granted it was moved into the shop really slow.
Hi Aron here in Sweden we needs tilt/ rotators to have work for oar excavators from 1,5 tons up to 40 tons. Indexator, Steelwrist or Encon and automatik hydralik funktions when changes buckets or grips or wibrators we dosent need to leeve the cab atall.
The one thing I continue to hear is how much cold weather reduces the efficiency of batteries. I would be curious to know if that’s taken into account with operating hours.
A little bit more is good, in austria there are 95% small wheel loaders and 5% Skid steers, skid steers are used in Demolition and sometimes landscaping for gardens and such but not much in Earthworks or civil works Because the tend to destroy fine grading, or stone paving that is not compactet or sanded they canot pull an air compressor or a fuel bowser on the public road and they dont have a good visibility when working in areas where kids and pedestrains are arround. We use these wheelloaders not so much as an earthwork tool but more to carry arround chippings, or bedding material, everything that is on pallets, use sweepers and such. But we also have many that have a swing function like Paus, or Atlas or Mecalac offer. It makes it a lot easier to dump bedding or sand on a pipe in a trench. How are excavators refuled in the usa? I think every excavator from 5 to 100tons have an on board fuel pump at least in austria, but mostly they are on the front right side of the machine.
It's fine to reuse some clips from the previous video. But this is just too much. In the overall video you talked about how the videos about the individual booths would be more in depth. But it's the same, just that it's only about cat?
In Poland there is a lot of skid steers, and these small loaders are not that popular. Usually these are bobcats, and it is more common to see wheeled version than tracked.
I start my new job at cat in a few weeks , coming from sunbelt I have some experience with heavy equipment. But cat has so many different types an now electric ⚡️ so I have a lot to learn 😮
17:24 No, if a raildigger dosnt have the option for hydrostatic drive in traintiers we either have rubbertiers against the tracks or fully lifted so railtiers pressing against rubberwheels for driving on tracks. Is perferd to be fullt lifted to clear railinfra. I mean the more you know.
World leaders - think about using these machines to break down mountainous areas and leveling out the lands. This will open up new areas for habitation but also on the ecological side of solving the distribution of the weight of populations, which will put less stress on the earth's inner core and rotation.
As an operator of a railway excavator in Poland, I will just give you a hint that of the three railway excavators, CAT is the worst, Liebherr and Atlas are much better suited to work on the railway. With the chassis system used in CAT, you will not pull a rail 120 meters long, much less 360 m, it is too weak for work with a sleeper changer, working under the catenary in CAT is extremely strenuous, not only is the machine placed high, but also it has a standard boom from a wheeled excavator, which makes it easy to get caught in the catenary, When it comes to rapid wear of railway tires this is nonsense, all tires are often damaged by scrap, which is plentiful in the railway ballast and you will puncture these tires rather than wipe them by driving on rails and the short radius is not used for "tight urban space, but for making trains able to pas you when you are working turned 90 degrees away from track (that is hudge + actually), additionally, because this machine is based only on railway bogies, you cannot use the stabilizer (located on front steering axle) so it is quite unstable this machine is only suitable for digging with a clamshel bucket, for the rest of the railway applications Atlas/Terex 1604 ZW and Liebherr 922 Rail will be much better. Other than that, fantastic video about Bauma, greetings from Poland
Yeah, I've also heard professionals complain about the poor ergonomics of CAT machines. As a railfan, I Ialso find your points about the specifics of lifting rail and sleepers interesting.
14:30 the german guy is talking about number 1 .... (salesman) ... 6.1 million euros and 26 machines. If that's the best salesman of only that day, then they are making a shit ton of money.
CAT using Chinese parts and dealer must scan equipment now . I have a CAT ET scanner won't scan clear codes etc . I went to Komatsu Japan made Bette r quality self scanning. Rip off CAT now Was the best not anymore.
@@D.c.0 Ok My Komatsu now I can scan trouble codes . Can you ? Only my older 325 I am able to fix ECM scan with CAT ET pre emissions model. But 3126 already heui burned a ECM . My 2016 308 sat dead on job site for a week no start DPF clogged 3500 hours .. CAT charge $7k to fix POS. Then sold me parts made in China! No more for me I am switching to Komatsu Japan. I think many are SANY China painted line cats. I had older CAT the best but not now. Deere also terrible. Only the" Stealer" can scan trouble codes. No thank
