[MyYamahayz]

[atsekjoker]

yeah ok, i´ll take two of them. (chevron´s best friend)

[ls1killa]

that mother fucker is ridiculously big! MY GOD.......

[pacrimcat]

How much would those tire chains cost? Anyone know?

[IRuiNx]

@pacrimcat We have a CAT 993K where I work which isn't quite as big as this loader but its in the ballpark. the chains for it were around 60k for only the front two tires.

[alco424]

@IRuiNx Sorry bud, but the 993K isn't really in the same ballpark as the L2350. The L2350 is actually twice the size of the 993K.

[IRuiNx]

@alco424 It may be twice the size but its still worthy of comparing seeing that there isn't a wide selection of loaders in this size. Also keep in mind that the only purpose of my comment was to give an idea of how much the chains cost, the only thing you did was point out something that I, and anyone with half a brain already knows. Congrats on being an overcritical cunt

[alco424]

@IRuiNx Get your facts straight, and it won't be an issue, now will it? What's the matter, did daddy not hug you enough when you were little, or too much?

[IRuiNx]

@alco424 There was no "fact" to be proven wrong, I said "in the ballpark" which is clearly influenced by one's opinion. You seem awful butthurt over something that doesn't matter....just sayin

[alco424]

@IRuiNx Opinion or not, you're not even close.  Try to help a guy understand and he craps on you....nice. If I'm the one who's "butthurt", why are you the one lashing out?

[IRuiNx]

@alco424 "lashing out"? I think you have it backwards pal...think about it, i'm merely defending myself from your nagging. I was never confused about the size of the letourneau or anything else so I dont know where your going with that. Just forget this conversation ever happened and continue to search the comments for errors...whatever floats your boat.

[alco424]

@IRuiNx Yep, lashing out. I simply pointed out that the two are not really in the same ballpark for the benefit of you, and anyone else who doesn't already know. You responded by resorting to name calling and throwing a little tantrum.

Feel free to think what you'd like, but my original comment was meant to be helpful to those who don't know. Now I am beginning to believe I am dealing with a 9 year old.

Have fun.

[IRuiNx]

@alco424 You just don't get it, do you? I'm done here.

[alco424]

@IRuiNx Good for you!

[Gadulaksinjan]

[MrJamessproule]

@allistairc123 ill cheack it out see how i get on thanks man! :))

[coykilla73]

@allistairc123 hey what site are you guys goin on in aus i am just about to start at Christmas Creek and just come off Koolan Island

[Bondidog]

@allistairc123 R G LeTourneau, the founder of the company, was born in Richford Vermont which makes him genuine American. His life story is very interesting indeed and he is responsible for the invention of a considerable number of very large machines.

[allistairc123]

@Bondidog yeah, great book, mover of men and mountains. he was an energetic man. do you know some of his younger releations have fantastic black and white footage of his prototype machines working in jungles etc on youtube? r.g himself is featured!!

[truffles41]

@Bondidog he was 50 yrs ahead of his time

[jmecrg]

@MrJamessproule in fact they are made in east tx

[MechanicEngineer78]

@MrJamessproule LeTourneau was American. There is a LeTourneau University in Longview Texas. The factory is also there. I'm from Ireland, living in Texas now. I go to a lot of these quarries as I work with mobile screening and crushing equipment. Some huge machines but most places won't let you take pictures.

[mastersduhgree]

@MrJamessproule Oh yeah....It looks like it would be capable of lifting an even larger bucket too.

[krisstofff87]

ciekawe jak w zimę odpala:D

pewnie trzeba ognisko pod nim palić/;0

[krisstofff87]

ciekawe jak w zimę odpala:D

[periesicsd]

hmm, that looks dumb...

[MrMrtiki]

There`s one of these sitting in Edmonton Go by it all the time---big bugger alright

[alco424]

@MrMrtiki There is definitely not one of these in Edmonton. There is an older, much smaller LeTourneau loader, but not an L2350.

[MrMrtiki]

@alco424 this one is a white one says Le tourneau but it`s a massive loader about

18' x 30' in size looks identical

[alco424]

@MrMrtiki Is that the one in Acheson? Or the one in St Albert at ProEx?

[MrMrtiki]

@alco424 Do you know where Princess auto is go out the south entrance by work ware turn right go to the rental place on corner accross rd from there is a D2 cat then just 1/2 block west of there heading to 170th one more building west can`t miss it giant loader 10-12 ft tires sitting paralell with road

[alco424]

@MrMrtiki Ah, that's the one at Wajax. I forgot about that one. I think it's an L1000 or L1100.

[MrMrtiki]

@alco424 Yes thats the place

[georgiewilliam]

Whats the volume on the bucket??

[sglenna]

@georgiewilliam standard 53 yard bucket

[evadvalcourt]

well it's a little bigger than my john deere 624J haha 

[fishproet]

push the metor away from earth WE'LL ALL BE SAVED!!!!!!

[johnnie420420420420]

le tourneau is wut my last name shoulda been but my ancestors changed it from that to turner originaly french i thought that was pretty kool too bad i dont get a small chunk or profits from that company lmao

[whiteroadboss]

i live in south queensland and ive been in a cat wheel loader the shifiting capacity of those beats are astounding its amazing wat man can build from scratch thats for sure

[literbikedoc]

Pity the poor bastard doing heel plates!!

Hate to have one of those chains roll over and take out a brake line too!! WA700 plenty bad enough!!

Nice pics.

[gilbertrodrigues208]

[samuel10039]

está maquina dá gosto em operar. letourneau l2350.

[generationll]

LeTournea was just bought for 1.1 billion by Joy Global-P&H

[Bloodgod40]

This machine will be great to have around when the zombie apocalypse comes.

[Schmanelame]

The real question here is: Will it blend?

[billy2rivers1]

Thats one big ass shovel.

[purestrlvl56]

dear santa..

[spark300c]

leTourneau tech factory is very near leTourneau university which is where I attending. I believe they build those machines in big domes. They build other large machines there too.

[drisdrisdrisdris]

I sure as hell like this video.

[AwayFromSunshine]

Its sooo big O__o

[ruthlessbadboy]

eletric drive tho i like tha komatsu better

[alexmiles2]

are these bigger than the Komatsu wa1200?

[allistairc123]

@alexmiles2 wayy bigger

[boardingpass04]

@alexmiles2 thats what she said

[2v1l]

the bucket looks small

[scagish]

stole that car...nobody will notice it

[shadeaths]

letourneau is a great machine but to me did not have the retro look of the clark michigan 675 kitted right out with the larger tyes and larger rock bucket looked like it was put together with thought however that12350 is awesome!

[14infieles]

hhahahaha small.

[14infieles]

ahhahahaha small.

[JordanianPride80]

why not use an ordinary loader...for sure the running cost of this vihicle is so high

[allistairc123]

@JordanianPride80 what is an ordinairy loader?

[DerKameltreiber]

@JordanianPride80

if you would have a small penis like the owner of the loader maybe you would buy such a loader too :D that is like with expensive cars :D

[peepeevagi]

Why is it so low to the ground?

[allistairc123]

@peepeevagi because when the bucket is raised high up in the air the arms and load would probably weigh 130 ton, so the centre of gravity needs to be as low as possable for stability.

[MrJparente]

@peepeevagi It's also low to the ground for underground purposes

[peepeevagi]

One of these? UNDERGROUND? that's not safe lol.

[Ready2Run1]

@peepeevagi anyway- its still got about 1.5 feet of ground clearance at the lowest point (my approximation - correct me if i'm wrong.)

[websurfer79]

sino iron ore mine in western australia

[davida41200]

is that in mt isa mines? i used to work there and it looks like one of huddys workshops.

[cromboldWVU]

@togreektown The chains on the front are probably to protect the tires from ground debris.

[NorcoRules]

Im not afraid of it . If you can keep it running long enough to do anything your lucky lol . Its a Letourneau nough said.

[dragonriversteel]

@togreektown , Four wheel drive now and very expensive to replace a drive motor. Fuel consumption has gotten better over the year as has the power plants for these loaders . Faster cycle time than trying to move a shovel in time of need or just use the loader. I dunno which is better. Shovel or L2350 ?

Would be interesting to find out in regards to which operators prefer.

[HELBHERR]

eso sies grande a conparacion de cat 62 b

[coriander2]

The bloke who did my driveway used one of these ;-) lol

[Dodgeram591]

huge

[diegolopol]

Impresionante! Amo ver estas maquinas. Saludos de un ingeniero mecanico desde Argentina.

[NALRAMOREG]

Amazing!!

[lennyb1b1]

@togreektown

The chains are to protect the rubber from rock cuts - very expensive tires. The unit is 4 wheel drive.

[RAM11223]

awsome thats fuckin huge lol
