Re: First build ,cat D11
Cooper-I think that was 9W talking about blade geometry. Wasn't me. That's kinda over my head. The only thing I know about dozers is that I would like to build one but that probably won't happen. I...

Re: Found awesome excavator
Crash-that is a strange video :confused: I personally would be very afraid of a machine that is shown NOT working. Probably made from junk!! Just my opinion.

Re: 1/16 Bucyrus-Monighan Walking Dragline
