CAT 325B L w/ long reach boom Base Model: NZG CAT 325B L Scale: 1:50
Here is my custom built 325B L long reach excavator. You can see just how big the new boom is with that man standing beside it
The boom came from an M.E.C. resin kit and replced the original NZG 325B L boom. Here's a view from the front
It's long alright, here's a side view
Rear view
And pic of the far side
Hydraulic lines run from the carbody up the boom
The booms hydraulic lines and "MESA" co. decals
Stands tall...
...And can dig incrediably deep
Here's a comparison pic next to a standard 325B L
Side comparison shot
Length comparison pic
When it comes to digging depth there is no comparison
In the end I was very pleased how this model turned out and the only other thing I'd like to do in the future is add a quick coupler on the end along with a wide ditch cleaning bucket
Here's a shot of the long reach excavator in action restoring this channel side after last seasons heavy wash-out rains
Another shot from inside the channel looking up at the excavator as it scoops up that rock and silt
