I had operated a Wa 380 Komatsu loader loading dump trucks and a 375 Ax Komatsu bulldozer for 43 years and wish I would have had videos like these in my earlier years I am now retired from working in a phosphate mine

I always thought it would be awesome to see you guys cover mines equipment and here is a perfect start, would love to see some ex8000 excavator video or something around that size.
Keep up the good work
Watching from Australia 👌

I haven't run one for over twenty years and if I was to crawl on one it would be serious distress. I can say that as they get newer that they seem a lot safer. I ran a 988 and the 966 but other than that was a fiat chalmers, sorry about the spelling, that needs a ton of work and I'm 72 so don't put much on that happening. That is very impressive machine... I have worked in mines running drills and they had a loading system where it filled the dock then the dock dumped the stuff in carts on the fly so it was very quick but not very sanitary system.. impressive video

It's very amazing, this model doesn't have steering wheel, this huge wheel loader is controlled by a joystick, Bravo Komatsu

[stromghouls]

this is just a Komatsu by name. everything on this machine is letourneau through and through. nobody can build a loader like this exept letourneau in texas. there is no other loaders like this.i respect Komatsu, but this ain't no Komatsu. only in name.

I operate a 994, would love to see you guys do something with a 994K

[neevillefarm]

If you close/crowd forward quickly with a full bucket will it drop with the weight quickly too? Or is there some sort of safety mode on these large loaders?.

Please update this video with the showing of switches, instead of only taking about them. Thank You.

I think the teacher said thus is actually a LeTourneau 1850. Does Komatsu sell them?
