    Mr Smith, your car wash is ready.

    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?
    It is preferential to refrain from the utilisation of grandiose verbiage in the circumstance that your intellectualisation can be expressed using comparatively simplistic lexicological entities. (...such as the word fuck.)

    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...
