bucket yardage?

[eh3500acII]

Hi Marcus,

According to the most recent 1850's brochure:

Bucket Capacity: 40 yd3 or 30.58 m3, high lift: 37 yd3 or 28.29 m3

Breakout Force: 276281 lb or 1228 kN, high lift: 280672 lb or 1248 kN

Operating Weight: 535000 lb or 242672 kg, high lift: 543000 lb or 246370 kg

I was curious how the operator and/or the machine keeps the tires from slipping while running at full throttle? Is there some sort of traction control built in to the wheel motors?

[eh3500acII]

Hi Qlfarting,

This is what I've found in LT's product brochure:

''The loader is controlled and monitored by the LeTourneau Intergrated Network Control System (LINCS). This provides useful operational information such as maintenance, diagnostics, shovel weights and measure capacity, cycle times and other management information which includes the control of hydraulics, TRACTION CONTROL, engine revolutions and limiters through the interactions of the master control module (MCM)."

Cheers mate!

Whats its weight? see it stands 45 tons but that cant be right hehe

[eh3500acII]

Hi, 45 tons is 1850's operating payload, weight is around 230 tons.

Have a look at LeTourneau's product section with brochures:

Great video!!! It's funny that monster still has a backing up alarm... like "Oh, glad I heard that alarm because there was no way I could see it coming (...)"

wanna see that awesome turbo...better the open engine.... great

[oBseSsIoNPC]

Haha, that cab on the loader looks like the zit on a elephants arse. Too funny. I love lots of steel moving like this. Great video!

[Clawedbackster]

It seems that as the loaders get larger, the payload gets smaller in relation to the size of the machine. I know a Cat 988G can lift around 60,000 pounds, and I believe it only weighs about 130,000 pounds.
