I believe this 2nd half also extends out to allow farther reach for the excavator bucket.

@theluthier Is there an official thread to this livestream?

@dostovel I’ve been drafting the forum post for the past hour! Still not done..but expect it tomorrow. There’s a lot to outline to avoid confusion as it turns out. But I LOVE what I’m seeing in this thread so far! Your logo design is 💯

@blanchsb What good luck that you have a backhoe at your disposal for pictures! How unlucky that it’s not the same model I chose 😣 BUT your pics will no doubt be helpful for filling in gaps. Thanks for taking the time to snap the pics and post them here 🙇

On that note I was driving down the highway last week and noticed a CATERPILLAR facility 100 yards off the road. I may have to call them and see if A) they have a 434E backhoe on site and B) if I can take pics of it.

Yeah @theluthier I know it is not the same model but figured it is close enough to get details from.

If we want something specific off of it I can try to get some more detailed pics.

That being said: I can remove these if they are cluttering up this post.

@dostovel @blanchsb @spikeyxxx @shanr @ritag @pfbourassa I think that’s everyone in here…Official thread is finally posted! 🙂

A few months ago there was a road repair and that was on my road It was very difficult to buy things because they blocked the road

so I had to go near the train tracks but lucky for me no train came. The reason they blocked the road to pour tar and now it is starting to melt from the sun.
