So guys, what would be your absolute dream model (It doesnt already have to be made). Mine would be a link belt 235x3 with guarding, hydraulic thumb, quick coupler, cleanup bucket, heavy duty digging bucket, tilt grading bucket, mulcher, and xw tracks with tall track cleats.

Nothing runs like a deere with a cat on its back but the link belt ate both of them

Well the 31000 is already being made, but I would love to see a 2250, 21000, and 14000 made! Also would like to see some link belt crawlers made in 1/50 as well!

The Kroll K10000 Tower Crane.

Nothing like being able to pick 100 tons at 100 meters and having a full size tower crane built in as a support crane. (You listening TWH?)

There are a few models I would like to see re-produced. The CAT 375 excavator, the Komatsu D575A-3SD dozer, the O&K RH400.. sorry, the Bucyrus... sorry, the CAT 6090.

As an original model, I would love to see a Hitachi EX750-5 or a Komatsu PC1000.



And my 'Never will happen but would be nice model' would be a Hopto 1900

That's the point. It's the 18000 of tower cranes

Since model releases tend to be resigned into to categories; Modern/(currently produced machines), and vintage (30 years or more old) Here are mine from each group:

Modern: Brokk 800S W/ interchangeable attachments (for those unfamiliar with Brokks, the remote control 800 weighs as much as a Cat 312, but hits like a 330. since it's electric, it's basically a giant hydraulic pump on tracks)



Vintage, Cat 977L w/ Peterson Demolition bucket

I can't really think of one. I'd like to see more logging equipment of all types. I bet a Cat 568 by CCM would be amazing! They could even make a couple different variants.
