N Great video Paul, Nigel & I were very lucky to see the prototype high-drive 766 when we were out in Telfs in 2019, although at the time, Liebherr were like. - "no, that's not a 766!, Nothing to see here, please move on" caught me just as I was about to sneak into the cab.... Fantastic machine, where's this one working?

Thank you! I had the same experience with the TA230 truck...... This was the first Rental machine that went out into Calverton in Nottingham. Pretty easy going for it in the sand and gravel. Old school operator said it was better than the D9T he came off. Pushed and ripped better and far more comfortable and used 12% less fuel doing the same job.

That's a nice looking dozer 👍👍👍 A worthy adversary for the D9 or 275 perhaps???

[@RPAMEDIA]

Certainly is Craig. The operator on this machine has 50 years of dozer experience and reckoned that his was far better than the D9 it replaced in terms comfort, pushing and ripping ability.

[@craigsibley8161]

Wow far better than a D9... With 50 years on dozers i think we can take his word on it.

@@RPAMEDIA Maybe if the D9 it "replaced" was a D9K, lol.

Have you got any images of this D9K, I've never seen one.......

@@RPAMEDIA Only the bean counters will ever know how good it is, because it comes down to, down time, availability,, and parts back up, and put 20,000hrs on it and see how good it is then, that will be the proof in the pudding.
