Looks like it will be a Komatsu PC8000-6 instead of the PC-8000. www.doncampbellmodels.com

Hi Don

At present there are no PC 8000-6 units in operation in backhoe configuration,although there could be on order.There were 3 at Cerrejon Coal{#3 pictured on your site} in Columbia but they have since been converted to front shovels.Komatsu Mining Germany has released new specifications for the backhoe which now has a standard bucket capacity of 42m2 @1,8 tonne/m2.

Here is the latest spec sheet.

The PC range of mining excavators has also been updated.

Cheers
Brian C
