how is this excavator powered is it diesel or electric it sounds like a diesel im not sure though the sound of the cylinders going down is cool you can hear it clear as day hydraulics on it must be awesome

@rotortilttt - its a lot bigger - 996 is not quite 600t with most combinations although just tips that with a long reach. BA1100 is meant to be about 1100t I believe although this will also varu with different combinations. Examples of the 996 as BHD's are New Your (Great Lakes), Pinocchio (Deme - formerly Toshka), Turacava (sank when first purchased by Boskalis some years back)

@supershy13079 - no - its a bucket wheel excavator!

@Nemonicks - agreed, but Liebher of Demag do not us an angled boom for maximum dig depth - they are the same as a land machine - a cut on land is exactly the same as one underwater - the angles or parameters do not change. Liebherr add a 'P' to the number on excavators mounted to Pontoons but in actual fact there is no differnce at all. Demag (Komatsu) use the name Aquadigger but these are also the same e.g. Demag 285 Aquadigger is a rebadged PC3000. Dipper dredger is different to a BHD

@dozerdriver1962 - stick is always short on a mining excavator - this is the shortest combination you will get

[rotortilttt]

this one as big as the liebhrerr 996?

the D8R is a dozer.
