Some info about the excavator.

The new Liebherr mining excavator: driven by two 1,492 kW/2,000 PS 16-cylinder V-engines, the Liebherr R 9800 boasts a 42 m³ bucket capacity. In conjunction with rapid loading cycles and tremendous ripper and breakout forces, the R 9800 offers high loading capacity and is the perfect loader for 220-t, 290-t and 360-t mining trucks.

Operating weight
1,748,266 - 1,772,517 lb
Engine output
2984 kW/4000 HP
(SAE J1349)
Backhoe bucket capacity
54.90 yd³ @ 3,000 lb/yd³

Shovel capacity
54.90 yd³ @ 3,000 lb/yd³

54 cubic yards is the shovel capacity, so if my conversions are correct that is 54 cubic yard = 10, 906.597 403 gallon [US, liquid]


How cool would that be to be able to play with equipment like that. I'm happy when I get to mess with small trackhoes, backhoes, skidloaders.

I don't think I'll be trying that with the Busa anytime soon.

I'd like to see if you get wet with the Aerostitch suit in that type of situation.

Thats one big mother. It would be fun to operate for a bit but that wouldn't last all that long. Running the small gear can be more fun a times. Digging out a foundation to repair leaks can be more of a challenge. One wrong move could cave in the foundation or wall, take down a tree, take out a passerby, or you could roll the equipment into a hole (that can happen in the be stuff as well) plus for the most part the small gear will move faster.

I also like running big gear and its cool to load a tandem in minutes but sometimes the small gear just adds to the challenge.
