super pics!! that Komatsu is one mean loader
Why is "phonetically" spelt with a "ph"?
... It's better to be silent and thought a fool, then to speak up and remove all doubt
The complex of Newgrange was originally built between c. 3100 and 2900 BC,[2] meaning that it's aproximately 5,000 years old. According to Carbon-14 dates,[3] it is more than 500 years older than the Great Pyramid of Giza in Egypt, and predates Stonehenge by about 1,000 years.

Sweet pics, nice to have a person who operates them to give an honest opinion. Do you have a picture of the controls of the Komatsu.

Nice equipment.
But dude, where's the steering wheel?????? ROFLMAO
That's what I first thought then it dawned on me they went to joy sticks on these!!!!!
How long before the smaller ones do away with the wheel???
Dain
I'm a kid at heart, so I will play with any model construction vehicle from 1:87 scale to 1:1 scale!!!!
Age is a state of time NOT a state of mind!!

Nice pics there mate, later model dash 3 Rio Tinto spec. It would have all the mod cons. Does it have a tranny cooler at the rear of the right hand battery box? I think there’s close to 60 WA1200's across Australia at the moment. renaultman wrote:Sweet pics, nice to have a person who operates them to give an honest opinion.

I think that number may be a bit inflated mate, 3 years ago there was only 50 994,s in AU and they have a big headstart on sales into both AU and the world.
I would say more like 20 units

Hi !
Both machine looks great ! no Letourneau in your mines ?? thank you for sharing !!
I love the tyres protections mesh , my only question about this is why buy tyres with threads
and put a protective mesh on it ?? my guess is that a groved tyres cost more ( only a guess ) .

Late -3 models with the tranny cooler near the battery box. WA1200s must be almost due for an update. -5 or -7 or something

The Frenchman, Depending on setup, good operations practice sees the rotation of tyres to maximise the wear that can be got out of them. Having different tires on each end minimises the ability to rotate tires. From my own experience the fronts would wear faster on a wheeled loader than the rears, so when 2/3rd worn on the front the fronts would go on the back cross cornered and the rears onto the front. Then when the replacement "fronts" were worn out, so were the backs and it got a complete new set of boots.

I would say more like 20 units Gav, when I was at the condition monitoring centre in Brisbane in June of last year, I asked the question to the guy who was responsible for the WA1200 oil analysis and WebCARE monitoring, and back then it was in the 40's. The majority of them are in QLD and WA. Maybe 60 was a bit off, but I just looked back on my HEF post and it's more like 50 if you include Moolarben.
