I understand neither won! The building was pillar/pad and it beat them up:)
I was told they were a little bit behind schedule.

This video was posted on three other forums with a pretty good debate back and forth with much diversified opinions.

It wasn't really to pin the ball against the high reach but rather to show two different methods on the same site.

I think the best comment I fielded so far came from So Cal from a forum member on Heavy Equipment Forums that goes by the name jdofmemi.

"I like the way the comparison was made. Goes to show both ways are able to get the job done.
To ask which is better is a matter of perspective.

Operators perspective: Komatsu is much more comfortable and less effort to run.
Has to operate with a great deal of care to not damage the machine. Link belt is a workout to do this work with, but is pretty forgiving with minor mistakes.

Company owners perspective: Link Belt, paid for many times over, could be replaced inexpensively, but why, it was built to last.
Komatsu, probably a $2 million investment, and it would be a surprise to see it in use productively 39 years from now."
