Great pictures, thanks for sharing! If possible, it would be great to see more pictures of the RH400 as it is built up. Thanks again.

Terex Mining are really kicking some goals with sales up there with both FMG and now Sino running modern fleets and i am sure they have ARH,s mine right next door to Sino in there sights. These mines are big time iron ore shows and ARH, Balmoral South mine will be about the same size.Throw in Molly Mines Spinifex ridge and that just about covers the greenfield sites plus everything else going on, it never stops

NICE,
reminds me of my past work in limestone quarries, although the equipment then was much smaller by comparison.

Thanks for sharing

How long is it going top take to get the bugs out of these 30 MT6300s?.They have not been around for a decade like a 930E,797 and T282 have.They have no track record like the 3 haulers here mentioned.Howw many of these MT6300 are headed to the tar sands area in Alberta,Canada?

None of those trucks had track record when they were newly introduced either. And as of now, there are no MT6300s headed to the tar sands. There is one here testing, and that is all.

I sure do like that LeTourneau L-2350 because I was invited to Texas two times to see the only two L-2350 's roll out of the factory. Both times it did not work out. Dang !! Plus I built the monster model of it so thanks for sharing those pics.
