  12. A lot smaller but similar to the early Vredo.s - they were about 250 hp but hydrostatic. latest 450 / 500 and load platform bigger.
  13. Will be interesting to se how the tool carrier concept takes off in the USA - has to be the way forward... Terra Variant, Vredo, Xerion etc.. Now CCI http://www.customchassisinc.com/platform_features.htm
  14. It Has three cameras, one in the front frille and one on wacu rear fender overlooking the hitch. They are includred in the stylized grille badge . light clusters. (Big article in Profi and 3' x 2' poster)
  15. Yes the Imants is a rotary plough, but closest thing visually to a crusher. here is the Golding Vid from 2007:
  16. Having worked on cruise ships - go! They have a Doc and all the facilities so don't worry about that - indeed when I was a cadet in the 70's we used to get folks coming back again and again - their intention was to party on to the end , and a few did!!
  17. Britains did them for JCB about five years back, still available in certain places.
  18. The sales aids are for charterers and marketing - if you are trying to get someone to pay ?12,000 to ?50,000 per day, even ?100,00 for a service than 'leaflets' matter. In fact they extend to folders, helicopter rides, marketing, cocktail parties et all. One of the very best at Marketing are Swire Pacific Offshore - I worked for them for five years and excellent marketing and managers. Check their site at http://www.swire.com.sg/home.aspx click on the main pictures, gallery etc
  19. this machine is a lot cleverer than it looks: Full suspension and blade motion control, with the speed, meanse feectively it is a three in one vehicle: Medium to light dozing The ability to finish grade negating the use of a grader high speed scraper power unit. Here's one I did earlier... Also note that the legendary James Nagorcka - Waltanna Tractor, Waltanna FW 35, Marshall TM200 is credited - he consults on most rubber track technologies. http://patents.ic.gc.ca/cipo/cpd/en/patent/2527888/summary.html#view_or_download_images http://patents.ic.gc.ca/cipo/cpd/en/patent/2527888/page/2527888_20060528_drawings.pdf
  20. The need for speed, Dial up - dont bother.... otherwise, enjoy http://www.deere.com/en_US/cfd/construction/deere_const/docs1/jdcfc_homepage.html?location=jdhome&tm=corp&link=const_img
  21. And I quoteth.... As a bricks and mortar example of the portability of engine manufacturing, Perkins Engines has dedicated a new production facility in Curitiba, Brazil. The official opening of Curitiba marks the first Perkins-owned engine production facility outside of the U.K., but definitely not the last. In fact, 2003 has seen a marked change in production strategy for the Peterborough, U.K.-headquartered engine manufacturer. The Curitiba plant was purchased in February to build its 1100 series diesels. This was followed in September by the announcement of a production facility for its 400 series diesels in Griffin, Ga. "Curitiba is a model for what we can do in other parts of the world," said Mike Baunton, president of Perkins Engines. "As the markets go global and our customers go global, we have to follow them. We are actively looking at other markets for operations similar to Curitiba and Griffin." With the two new operations, Perkins now is able to dual source both its 400 and 1100 series diesels, the heart of its line, from multiple locations. The 400 series diesels are built in Peterborough, next year in Griffin and in Japan by Shibaura Machinery Co. The 1100 series diesels are now being built in Peterborough and Curitiba. The plant was officially dedicated on October 10th by Baunton and Roberto Requiao, governor of Parana, the state in which Curitiba is located, in a ceremony attended by more than 100 customers and suppliers The 33,000 sq.ft. Perkins Motores do Brasil Ltda. facility is producing 4 and 6 L 1100 series diesels with an initial volume of 5000 engines, ramping up to an expected 20,000 units. Employment is currently 55 people. The plant will be an integrated part of Perkins' manufacturing strategy in addition to supplying Brazil. Primary applications for the engines are construction and agricultural equipment, as well as gen-sets. Like the Griffin facility, Curitiba is built around a simple, flexible manufacturing process that fin& 'all components arriving at the facility fully machined for assembly, test and painting, said Jose Neto, general manager of the facility. The Brazilian operation currently includes a single U-shaped assembly line, feeding four production test cells and one durability test cell. The plant also includes a full painting operation. A training facility is located adjacent to the main plant. There is room for expansion both with the currant facility as well as on the site in which the plant is located. Local content of the Curitiba-built diesels is currently about 20 percent, a number that should be at 60 percent within two years, Nero said. Some industry observers will remember the Curitiba plant, which Perkins bought from DaimlerChrysler in February 2003, as a Detroit Diesel facility that built the VM diesels used in Brazilian-built Dodge Dakota pickup trucks. "We have always been interested in coming to Brazil in one way or another," Baunton said. "The opportunity came along to purchase this facility, which was doing similar work for DaimlerChrysler, and allowed us to hit the ground running and begin production almost immediately." The first Curitiba-built engine came off the line in July, a Perkins 1004.42 diesel that was destined to power a Caterpillar model 416D backhoe loader built in Piracicaba, Brazil. The Cat plant in Piracicaba is expected to be a major consumer of the Curitiba-built diesels. The facility manufactures track-type tractors, motor graders, wheel-type loaders and scrapers and bas recently expanded into smaller horsepower equipment such as backhoe loaders. Another of the key customers, according to Howard Beeken, director of sales & marketing for Perkins' Sao Paulo regiorM office, in Brazil is AGCO, which has production facilities in Canoas for Massey Ferguson branded tractors as well as a combine harvester plant in Santa Rosa. AGCO's purchase of the Maxion agricultural equipment business in 1996 and its decision to close its Banner Lane facility in 2002, relocating production to Brazil and France provided the "critical mass" Baunton said to open production in Brazil. Further, JCB has a backhoe loader plant in Sorocaba, Sao Paulo, Brazil, and Beeken said, them are a number of engine generator set manufacturers such as EG. Wilson, Stemac, SDMO and Leon Heimer with operations in Brazil using the Perkins diesels and new entrants such as Atlas Copco starting production. According to Richard Case, managing director industrial power systems, one of the keys to the Curitiba facility, is flexibility. "There simply is a greater velocity of" new product introductions in both engines and equipment. We now have the capacity and ability to build whatever is required to meet the demands of the specific markets we serve. "Not everyone wants the latest generation engine," Case said. "Not every market and every region has the same emissions standards to meet, so we can build the engine suitable for the market and the application." The Curitiba area is becoming an engine manufacturing hub for the Mercosur markets. Besides the Perkins plant, Tecunseh opened a new plant in October to produce air-cooled gasoline engines and transmissions for the lawn and garden market. On the automotive side, Renault and the TriTech build automotive engines in Curitiba.
  22. Enjoy.... http://www.holmer-maschinenbau.com/deverses/film-terravariant-500-600-all-languages.zip
