The 992 was known as the “Barn Queen” in two Nevada mines I used to visit due to their time spent in the shop for repairs.

26 yard bucket ,I ran a loader with a 3 yard bucket and could fill tri axles pretty quik ,I can't imagine this beast

[@brianw8963]

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 .

Wow, I forgot that the first gen 994 came with wheel steering at first.

[@PAmining]

Yes, basically a big 992 lol

[@staceyjaytowers2509]

Of course. The first generation of the 988, 992, and 994 wheel loaders use to have a steering wheel inside of their cabs, but later replaced with the "STIC" joystick steering (started on the 988F, 992D and 994D wheel loaders) so to increase legroom, visibility and comfort.

[@StephensCustomModels]

@@staceyjaytowers2509 Thanks for the info! I was doing a bit of research on the 988F since I'm building one, and Cat would still allow you to special order a 988F (I&II) with the wheel if you wanted. However the take rate on the STIC was so high that barely any with the wheel were sold. I've found a few on the used market, but they're rare.

[@milestone_achiever4634]

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.

[@jtoddjb]

[@mattj65816]

I don’t understand how he does this. It sounds smooth and scripted, but it also sounds like he’s reading it right into the camera as he shoots the video. Even with the subjects I know best, I could never rattle off a monologue and stay completely on point like this without reading from a script. Does he have three hands?

[@mattj65816]

@Payne Killer wow, I don’t think I’ve ever heard him shuffling cards around. He’s smooth. I have no connection to mining equipment but I love these videos. “And here you can see where it says... CATERPILLAR.” Great catch phrase.

[@NorfKhazad]

Even if he does use cards it's not easy to get through such a volume of technical information without errors in a single take while you're climbing around on heavy equipment and running a camera at the same time. It's very impressive, a one man documentary crew.

[@mattj65816]

@Tsunauticus III a neighbor allowed me to dig a garbage pit with his Case backhoe when I was like 12 years old. That's pretty much the extent of my experience with "heavy" equipment (unfortunately.) It was definitely one of the best days of my life! Take care!

[@The-Warm-voice1359]

i wonder why every wheel loader turn left and right like the snake why not turn from the front wheels like the car if anyone here have any idea about this thing i hope answer me thx all✋

[@lloydholt6511]

Making the front wheel turn can be done however, the life of the drive assemblies would be virtually nil. The amount of torque applied to the front wheels and or any axels used would result in frequent parts breakage. By making the axels stationary ,with no articulation, the hubs and axels are not subjected to so much torque and tend to last almost indefinitely. The articulated body sections are fitted with pivot pins and bushings and steering is controlled by two or more hydraulic rams.

[@The-Warm-voice1359]

@@lloydholt6511 thx 4 the answer bud but the wheel loader comes with the chassis 2 blocks and one suspenion on the rear axal yeah the ram clyinder who is control the steering left and right but if she have leaking from the ram cylinder she can not turn left or right well thx again dude ✋

[@S70AMG]

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.

[@Mentorcase]

Only 200 made, wow , they are rarer than rocking horse shid.

[@larselder874]

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.
