Our front end loader blew up shortly after having the headgasket done.Whilst it is back getting repaired again the dealer has leant us this monster.
Its a Doosan Mega 400V.A 22tonne loader,a tad bigger than our 10tonne loader!!!!!

MMMMMM...... nice. looks similar to the Komatsu I used to drive. It had a 5 metre bucket which equated to about 6 tonne of sand depending on moisture content. Boy, they can push dirt can't they.

Great to get off the grader for the day and play with a big toy:cool::cool::cool::cool:

On one job me and another guy had to move 220,000 cubic metres of topsoil and sand, mix it and then screen it. 6 weeks straight of moving, heaping it up as the trucks would dump it, then mix it in equal portions using the scales and then running the lot through a screen. After 6 weeks I was looking forward to getting back on the road in the truck, and then I was looking forward to getting back in the Komatsu just to break things up a bit. I always went for the Komatsu over the smaller CAT or Hanamag loaders though. BIG is always better :twisted::twisted::twisted:.
I used to take one look in the graders and say no way, too confusing, too many levers
