Milaca Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 I was loaded by this old machine yesterday. It had a 6v detroit in it, more noise than power!I havent seen a GM Terex loader being used in nearly 20 years. The local gravel/concrete plant used one for decades which I believe they bought new back around 1976. They ran International trucks with Detroit diesel power exlusively for many years. They now use Caterpillar loaders and I think they mostly run Cummins diesels in their trucks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RFCDrum Posted March 29, 2013 Share Posted March 29, 2013 Stone industries in Jersey here will sometimes load you with the 988. He is usually feeding the asphalt drum plant. They have a newer one with the joystick controls and long loader arms on her. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slpwlker Posted March 29, 2013 Share Posted March 29, 2013 Most of the pits down here in Fl load you with 988's or equivlents. Sometimes 980's at the very minimum. 2 passes and gone. Never got to run anything that big but would of liked to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RFCDrum Posted March 29, 2013 Share Posted March 29, 2013 Makes me a little nervous when they load you with the 988. The truck is like a matchbox car next to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slpwlker Posted March 29, 2013 Share Posted March 29, 2013 When I was a kid we had our 950 out a job and there was a 988. the 988 operator tried loading trucks like we did and ripped the side of the body off. Really do not know how or why but it buckled the hell out of it. I know we could out load a 966 bucket for bucket. that little 950 was a great loader.

RFCDrum Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 You don't realize how big a 980 is until it is out of it's element. Blizzard of 96 I was working at IBM in Sterling Forest NY at night hauling snow and they brought in a 980 from Stone Industries from Ringwood NJ. That machine in those parking lots was gigantic but boy it would push snow. At night it would look like a spaceship in the trees. Kind of creepy working up there in the middle of the woods.

other dog Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 Makes me a little nervous when they load you with the 988. The truck is like a matchbox car next to it. Sometimes they would use a 988 to unload pulpwood at the paper mill in Covington instead of the FWD's. The operator couldn't see the forks so you had to guide him, and the one everybody called "cowboy" had been known to punch the forks right through the frame rails on a log trailer.

other dog Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 Thats no 988 thats a 992Cyes it is, I meant 992 and was thinking 988 unloading wood in Covington. This is the one I was talking about when I said it was way bigger than a Peterbilt several pages ago. Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999.

RFCDrum Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 I ran a 950 like this better pic this time in the CSX terminal in North Bergen NJ for three winters moving snow. The 938 is brand new I suspect. Cheers, Rob 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slpwlker Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 we had a 950 just like the 920 in the above pic. It was a loading sob. The new machines just do not have the attitude the older machines had. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
