Remco,
Our company is Cider Mill Services Inc. based in the Philadelphia, Pennsylvania market.
We run two EX300 Hitachi 70' UHD machines, we transport them in one piece with a grapple or attachment on the machine. Our mobilization cost are about the same as our 9050 Case Excavators.
The reason I do not see the new machines as practical in our area is the high mobilization cost and support.

Kevin,
What company do you work for? And what kind of HRD excavators do they use?
About the SK3500D; 2 years ago everyone said the 40/50mtr. machines were also not considered practical. Now 2005, some 70 40mtr machines and 12 50mtr machines are sold . And the industry is asking for even higher machines. Early 2006 we will see another 60mtr+ HRD machine. Also higher options are being calculated at this moment.
Everyone thinks the problem of these big machines is transport, but how many big cranes are transported. If a crane can get there, so does this SK3500D. In Europe and Japan the cities are a lot more difficult then in most parts of the US. And companies there (Europe and Asia) transport 50/60m machines as if they were 20tonne machines.
If one is sold in the US, others will follow (the US is still far behind on HRD use)

I don't know Chris. Waiting until almost the beginning of November to ask Santa for such a big ticket item might be tough. Maybe if you were minding your P's and Q's earlier in the year you might have stood a chance. Looks like another lump of coal for you this year.
LOL, It's not my fault that Kobelco released this machine so late in the year. Plus last year I got the lump of coal.

I would hate to get a hydraulic leak in that one.

I was looking around the web for some additional pictures of this machine and stumbled across this website:

Check out the photo gallery. That one that toppled over must have been a real bitch to get sorted out.

Heres a picture and some additional specs:

I might have to ask Santa for one of these

[font=Verdana][font=Verdana][color=#333333][font=Verdana][size=3]Looks like this will be available only in [/size][/font][font=Verdana][size=3]Japan.[/size][/font][/font]

[font=Verdana][size=3]Some more specs:[/size][/font]
[/font][/color]
[font=Verdana]1. World's highest working range of 65.03 meters
A three-piece boom and 4-piece attachment gives the SK3500D the world's highest working range of 65.03 meters.
The SK3500D can directly dismantle a 21-story building from the ground.
2. Ultralarge 12-ton crusher can be attached
An ultra-large 12-ton crusher, with a maximum reach of 41 meters, can be used in place of the three-piece attachment.
Other attachments developed are the ultra-large concrete crusher KR1600TPR and steel beam cutter KS1300TPR.
These attachments, used with the SK3500D, can efficiently dismantle low-rise and medium-height buildings.
3. Attachment assembly & disassembly are easy and safe
Using a built-in hydraulic "quick-hitch" developed by Kobelco (and under patent application), the attachment can be taken apart into six components. Assembly and disassembly are easy and safe.
Quick couplers are used to efficiently connect the hoses.
4. Easy disassembly and transport at the work site
Disassembly and assembly of the base machine is made easy through a crawler frame disassembly system using hydraulic cylinders and translifters.
The swinging and tilting cab clears width limitations of the machine during transportation.
The base machine can be disassembled into over 17 components to fit the carrying capacity of the trailers.
5. Safety features for high-rise operations
Anti-drift Boom and Arm Holding Valves prevent the boom from suddenly dropping if the hydraulic lines malfunction. All cylinders are equipped with counterbalance valves. The Inclination Alarm alerts the operator when the base machine angles too steeply. The Tip-over Alarm automatically monitors the position of the arm to warn the operator before the machine tips over.
A camera on the boom enables the operator to view attachment operations. A rear-view camera on the back of the SK3500D enables the operator to monitor activity behind the machine. Both come as standard equipment.
6. Noise and dust reduction
In addition to low-noise design, the SK3500D has a water hose running from the base machine to the arm tip. Water is sprayed during dismantling operations to reduce dust.
