here is another machine i have dreamed of seeing. the worlds biggest wheel loader. i got to see this machine on same visit to mine as the rh400 visit. (see O&k rh400 post) thanks again to shaun for memorable day.




the length of this machine and the worlds largest tyres with chains blew me away!!. the frame construction of this machine was unreal with 120+ mm plate in places!
im over 6ft with boots and hard hat... this picture gives idea of scale!...

Another series of stunning pictures! I love the stance of the L2350, such a low slung machine with a lowered cab. Thanks for the post! Teeth

I've seen an RH400 up close but not a real L2350. It is big.

Wow !,
What a dream come true for sure !!
I was invited to Longview , Texas twice to see number one and number two L-2350 roll out of the factory. Both times we could not go , but have always regretted it. I built a model of it and even the model was amazing. Very cool pictures !!

Great pics ,
I saw 1 on a flat bed a few years ago, it was huge. There were no tires or anything else on it just the main body and that alone was huge. I have always wanted to drive out to Longview to see the yard, Who knows one of these days I might get out there

That is just...well...huge. Congats on your visit. Those tires are probably very expensive.
