Priestly has bought a Cat excavator "HMMMM" IAM imagining what happened that they decided to choose Cat in the fleet. This is a very interesting development and would like to know more on this development. The guys at Toromont were probably in shock when the purchase order came in with the company name on it lol!!!!

They got the two Cat 374F excavators, a high reach Hitachi and a few other machines from JMX Demolition. I heard it was at a good price as the other company had financial issues.

Thank you for the clarity on that as I knew it had to be a good offer that they adopted the machines into their fleet. For they are know for other brands besides Cat and we know they love their BIG RED known as Linkbelts. Was there in 2019 late October and witness the demolition of a bridge on 26/10/2019 These were the machines on site. if you recall the date your would know the location as the guy Matt was there that Saturday. I think it was Dundoff Lane.

Took these with an old camera at the time. Love the work and construction momentum in Canada while being there for a weekend.
