- dmoy 6y agoThat is bagger288, it weighs over 10Gg and it's like 100m tall or something
- TwoHeadedBeast 6y agoI love the metric system and all that, but perhaps 10,000 tonnes might be a better way of expressing the mass of the digger.

- Someone 6y agoWhat’s more, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bucket-wheel_excavator https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bucket-wheel_excavator has the same photo, and says “Note the 90-ton CAT front loader at lower left for size comparison” ⇒ chances are a normal-sized bulldozer is half the height of that one.
