Hi, Folks.
Here is a link to a video of a D8H that's a V8 and a SERIOUS grinder - NOT a job for speed freaks.

Just my 0.02.

You have a wonderful day. Best wishes. Deas Plant.

Looks like a Deutz V8 with a hydrostatic drive.

Hi, ROME K/G.
Similar thoughts occurred to me. I thought it would need to have either hydrostatic drive or a danged good master clutch on a direct drive with a busy left arm. Hydrostatic would make more sense - pretty much set-n-ferget. Looks like a good job to teach a scraper operator some patience - - - - or send him to the rubber ranch.

Just my 0.02.

You have a wonderful day. Best wishes. Deas Plant.

What are they doing? Are they recovering land, or getting some sort of quarry material, or something else altogether?

It looks like the grinder might twin power units too.
