Not every day you see a Cat dealer normally stock mining equipment like that 24 motor grader in the yard. But I got to say, Australia has really cool ways of doing things including how they mine. Westrac is probably one of the biggest Caterpillar dealers in the world if I'm not mistaken. Thank you for showing this Aaron.

The market here in Australia is a bit odd, customers will quite literally buy what is int he lot, you need some 150-ton trucks, no worries we got that.....🤣
@dan_28462 ай бұрын
There are quite a few big mines within a few hour radius of Tomago (where this Cat dealer is) so availability is everything. As an Aussie I would love to see a U.S Cat dealer to compare, super interesting.

I could be wrong but I believe Finning is the biggest Cat dealer

Consider taking your channel to CAT's Decatur, IL facility where the mining trucks are built. Also consider CAT's large bulldozer (D6 D7 D9 D10 D11)assembly facility Building SS in East Peoria, IL. D8s are assembled in Brazil where Brazil kicks back $25k for each D8 built.
