Clark Michigan 675 wheel loader

[@burtvincent1278]

I was a field engineer for Clark during the 675 developement. Just as the last bug was removed from the machine the executives canceled its production. I have learned in the interim that this is normal operation.

Doors open , no ac , no insulation. Just sweat and breathe dust and listen to engines screaming all day.

Времена, когда о комфорте, эргономике и безопасности труда ещё не думали (вплоть до 70х). На механических экскаваторах (кранах) машинист просто находился в углу кузова-сарая вместе с двигателем и механизмами. За спиной орёт "Детройт" или танковый дизель, под боком вращаются шестерни и канатные барабаны. Перед тобой лес рычагов и орган педалей механического управления, такого, что никакого фитнеса не надо.

SUPER SUPER SUPER BIG

[@kamalpolo2478]

Michigan is big

[@generationll]

How ironic that as big as the 675 was only about 15-20 were sold so it seems like the demand was n t really there after all.How ,many of these 675s still exist today?Caterrpillar did not make the same mistake when they introduced the huge 994 in1990

[@anthonylucibello67]

They only sold 6 to my knowledge and none are left.

[@davefleming1117]

The CAT 992C changed the whole industry. This was a decent machine but just could not compete against CAT... everything changed with the 992C

[@beerdeddi1]

The 675 was too big for the standards at the time. That was beyond inefficient. The engines ran under constant full load and were still far too weak. From today's perspective, load and carry would be the most unproductive thing of all.
