It would take 7 or 8 passes with that 3 yd. bucket, with coal. I loaded triaxles and trailers last with a 988H with a 15yd coal bucket. The larger beds could be loaded with 2 passes, but most required 3 corner buckets to even out the load .

Your videos always stoke the urge at the back of my head to play around with heavy machinery at construction sites. Too bad I’m not qualified!

What a monster of a machine, 2 flights of stairs to get into it. If this particular machine was made a year later, it would be a tru 94 lol.

No offense. I love some of Cat's heavy machinery. I first got fascinated with Cat’s heavy machinery in high school. But ever since I saw the LeTourneau L-2350 loader, I absolutely loved it. Truthfully speaking the 994 is significantly smaller and about 60-70 tons lighter than the L-2350. All Cat has to do is build a loader equal in size to the L-2350 and maybe call it the 996.

This is awesome! Where do i buy one?

It makes me kinda sad they scrapped the last clark michigan 675 before you had a chance to film it. Such a game changer legendary loader scrapped for as much money as one of it wheels costed. Preety sure the 675 had more torque and was bigger in size overall with huge wheels (15ft if im right) , only the rock buckets were a little undersized.

Can you imagine the amount spent on steel plate? And they obviously didn't skimp on the steel.

That was unit count built and sold until the 994D came out in 1998. The cab had air conditioning added. The seat and dashboard improved. This is for mines. Steel mills use 992 to move taconite from dockside storage to furnace feed belt. The 994D was originally built in Joliet, Illinois along with 24H Motor Grader, 5230B mining shovel. All Caterpillar hydraulics were designed and machined in Joliet in that time frame. Joliet closed. Hydraulics machining and assembly are in Mexico. John Deere also moved their hydraulics to Mexico the following year and laid off 250 employees. Cat mining is now headquartered in Tucson. The rest of Cat will be moving there from Peoria, Illinois and leave another rust belt city behind.
