Drove these in 93-94 and they were still in production at the time under that model name, we had one that was almost new when I started working there.
No, I'm not that old but old enough.  |
Ya I know. Was just bustin ya balls a lil. I remember they were still making "new" 777C models not too many years ago. Now it is what... D model? Here in the coal industry bigger means newer though. When CAT makes a newer bigger model the smaller ones are old news. There are some areas that still run 773/777 trucks just because of the size of the job. Anything smaller than 773 the cool thing to use is swivel trucks now. Heck a D9R/D10R are too small and for reclamation now. Its either D11R's or Komatsu 575's for the pits.
