Newer 988 vs 70's? Model

Reddit - Heavy Equipment 1 min read

About this article

The size difference in these different decades of the same machine is crazy! The 988 these days is an absolute monster, over 120,000lbs while this other one is likely around 60,000 lbs. Can anyone confirm the year of this older machine? I will say the older model is a little below grade in the picture because of some snow pack, but these pictures are taken at the same angle and similar distance from the cab of a 980. submitted by /u/chopkins47947 [link] [comments]
