Unfortunately it's in German, so I'm can't follow the narration, but you get the idea from the images.

No earthmovers were harmed in the production of this movie  I've got a Volvo EC25 which is between the size of the wheeled one which looks like a 35 and the adolescent ec15. It's amazing what that little machine will do.

Yup, your right, 4 or 5 excavators and 1 loader in that vid. In your picture, that's a open bowl scraper being helped by a dozer. D8 or 9 But they all move earth.  And they're all cool  Ever since I saw a Feller Buncher, I've wanted one just cause.

And they're all cool  Ever since I saw a Feller Buncher, I've wanted one just cause. Yep, I operated one for about 6 years. Awesome machines, they are push pull. The big bell on the front lowers down onto a hook on the back of the other. The rear scraper pushes the front one and when he is full the rear picks up where he stopped and gets pulled through until he is loaded. Sometimes in tight spaces a dozer will push you through to get quick loads.

Although not the biggest in the world, this is the biggest Wheel Loader made by Caterpillar. It's the 994. We make it at our plant in Aurora, Illinois. I've only seen one all put together once-for our 55th Anniversary Open House. It takes 8 Semi trucks to ship one unit. They're then put together at the customers site. I think the cost is between 3 and 4 mil/apiece. Now THIS is an Earthmover!!!
