Found this little guy about two blocks from my house. While it didnt carry the same interest level as the 140M or 627H or the 740B machines that I have run across it is a field follow none the less and a pretty cool looking little loader.
They are re-developing a property that went into foreclosure. Now slated for townhomes and one million dollar house on about 5 acres.
Looks bigger than the 938G that it is next to. These are the primary basement digging machines in this market.

Well... Definitely not the prettiest loader from the K series. I'm curious to know the advantages of this new boom design though Think

I'm not sure I like the right side of the cab, not as much visibility as the H's, or it sure doesn't look like it. Other than that looks like it could be a good loader. As a side note, interesting that wheeled loaders are used in your area to dig basements. here it's either a trackhoe or a trackloader.

regards,
Jim

Yea its kind of interesting that they went back to the older style of cab with the door only on the left side & windows on the right. As far as visibility goes, I don't think you really lose anything by eliminating glass below the console. I know I've never looked down there.
