Holy shite.
But I think thats a D8R

9 out of 10 hippies prefer the D9 over all other dozers.

Wow! I hope the operator got out ok.

Yes it is a D8R.

You can see it on the rear panel.

What happened?
Did the dozer try to disrupt the movement of the digger?
Or was it an accident?

D8N and a bucket wheel excavator. That isn't gonna buff out.

That had to make a hell of a sound. I bet it sounded like satan passing a kidney stone.

How much does that digging thing:

Weigh
Cost to buy
Cost to operate
Men needed to man it.

How do they move it?

They use them in Europe to strip mine......something I cannot recall what it is.

They move the whole thing as a unit.

They have to pile sand and timbers on the roads when they cross so they do not destroy the road.

well at the mine i used to work summers at, their shovels (not event relevant in size comparison) could drive on their tracks ant like .5MPH, I be this is the same thing.

Que pasó allí?

It is (or was) used in Germany to mine coal IIRC.

I'm thinking that could make a HELL of an underground range?!?!?!?!?!

Would have been an interesting ride for a short time!

Who would win in a fight? That thing or Optimus Prime?

A care bear took down Optimus Prime and Abraham Lincoln at the same time. That thing would surely win over OP.

Holy jesus, that looks like something out of some dystopian version of Star Wars! WTF is it?

What's the story?

I have seen the pics of the machine before but not while it was eating a dozer.

I wrench on 4 D8Ks at work- ours weigh 85-95000 lbs, depending how they are equipped.
That stripminer is badass.

I wouldn't have an idea how to operate it... BUT I MUST HAVE ONE
