Great shots. Thanks for posting.

The Pusher tractor looks like a Faun Elefant - ALE have three of them in South Africa.

I thought I had seen it before, Redredred sent through this picture a while back, pretty impressive machine. By the way, what is that load?

The load is the base for a new Stacker Reclaimer at the NCIG site. in these pics they were going to use it to help tow the Volvo down the dirt track, but it turned out they didnt need it but im not sure about inside the site itself. Were back down there again on Saturday night for the next 2 peices.

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.

Rex Andrews big Faun with 20 axle lines and Sandvick stacker reclaimer boom load

Most of the loads are what I would call tape measure intense!! Its one thing to measure and say yea you can make 47 feet 3.75 inches wide and we will clear it by 2 inches on either side, its another to make and realize how small 2 inches is!!!! Awesome pictures!
