Excellent Pics!! Where was this?
Dump on the edges, the middle will take care of itself.
Never look down on ANYONE! Unless it is to lift them up.

Ive heard rumor of Komatsu scrapers, but have never seen a picture of one till now. Cool pics. Do you think you could get some close up shots?
Are you an enviromentist, or do you work for a living?

Nice shots, some interesting machinery in there. Is it a dealer, storage or scrap yard? That 575 looks like it's been sitting there for a while and is ready to be parted out. Didn't know about Komatus scrapers either? Rowan.

The coal company near me used to use some Komatsu scrapers back in the 80's. They look just like Cat till you get closer. They probably cut them up years ago when they were cutting up one of their Page draglines. At a mine on my friends property, The first D575 was being tested there 1993.

I would think it's not very likely, since they have a market there where no one else can compete with them. But then again, are they getting any sales, and is it worth while to keep the model alive?
