American legend and an Italian classic

This big dozer video is currently doing the rounds on the machinery forum circuit and features a Caterpillar D11R and an ageing Fiat-Allis FD50 that are working together in a coal mine in America.

The Fiat-Allis FD50 is quite a rare beast these days having been introduced in the early 1980's as a replacement for the 70 ton, 524hp 41B.

It's great to see old dozers like this still hard at work earning their keep alongside the more modern kit.

Talking of machinery from Italy look out for my review of the New Holland Grand Prix 2009 (Turin) coming to the pages of Digger this weekend!
