What's the story with this one? This the one you had to cut down trees to get it out? or am I confused with another dozer?

Ok....I know every body wants pictures of this beast...including us. Rick and I talked once before about this picture thing and he struggled with it. So I got him to send these to me so I could make it happen. Rick is so much more cooperative than the Shameless Dude on these pictures.




 NICE SPECIMEN !! Rick say serial no. is HD21GS 15206 (2nd to last before B series) S is for steel mill special.

The largest Cat loader I have been around was a 983. Obnoxiously slow and awkward machine intended for mine service, absolutely HUGE 275hp 72,000 pounds almost 5 yard heaped bucket, just under 23 feet long and 9 1/2 feet wide.

Thanks Mel for posting them pictures the 21g is pretty comparable to a cat 983 nine and a half feet wide 23 long and 82000 lb with the optional counterweight group rated at 298 horsepower and a whopping $48,000 lb lift capacity

These are pics of Rickv57 HD21 G that he has right to be very proud of. Rick sent me pics to my cell phone and I told him I would put on the site. Only doing one first to be sure I sized it correctly.
