Impressive machine...Leibherr 9600. I was lucky to see the first one built in the flesh at the factory.

Absolutly humungus...

2 x Cummins QSK60 Cummins about 1500 hp each (Guess)

Top of the tracks were about 3 m above the ground...

Nice find! I wouldn't be so keen to stay inside for that drive-in carwash. Long time no post Mack!

Well spotted that man!
Actually I think this is the R9800, 2x 1492kw 16 cylinder V engines(if the source I found was correct)
either way, bloody big bit of kit!

How big you ask?
try 42 cubic metres! or around 11,600 gallons, or roughly 42,000 Ltr.
quite a lot really.

That's wicked! Wouldn't want to take my showers that way.

What would you use such a large digger for? Mining?

Yeh mining....we use them for loading overburden, and the 5130Cats for loading the ore. Size the loader to the truck size....x number of buckets to fill a truck.

You could rent it out for weekends as a mobile swimming pool - the problem is it would be winter again before it got to the next house...
