NKTM Â Â Posted October 17, 2005 I bet sucks on single track, though. And the DRZ is faster. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DaveI Â Â Posted October 17, 2005 What the hell is that thing? That's one of those digging machines they use at coal fields and such.... I saw them on a TV special a while back...That round head that looks like a saw blade is actually very large "buckets" to scoop the coal/dirt and there's a belt that carries it away along the supporting structure... I saw one of the biggest one's being used in Germany in a coal strip mine... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MutualBill   Posted October 17, 2005 Yeah...I saw that show on the discovery channel too. I think it was "Mega Machines". It is the quick way to eat a mountain down to a mole hill. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Neil Claydon   My Ride Posted October 17, 2005 I bet sucks on single track, though. And the DRZ is faster. Two feet of liquid mud and clay, topped with three feet of water and silt, and it goes straight through it, flat in 3rd, and carrying 10 ton's of clay🤣 My DRZ won't, will yours:p And it pulls good wheelie's, I'll try and get my mate to get a picture tomorrow, with the front wheels 3 foot off the ground. Neil. 🤣🤣 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
xXDr_Z250Xx   Posted October 17, 2005 yeah that thing moves at like 1/3 a mile an hour, and they got a D9 dozer stuck in the excavating wheel, just to give you an idea of the size! i have a whole powerpoint show on that thing, too.... i just don't have powerpoint so i can't extract the pics Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
