Good old caterpillars used to love my 245 a real bulk muckshifting digger .A credit to the owner good to see the older cats still being used
Just love the older cats. Maybe they didnt have all the comforts of today's machines but they would dig and dig usually without a problem. Ran everyone from the 215 225 231d 235c and the 245 c all would do ae hat you asked them to do. I really enjoy seeing company's still using these older models
Nice looking old cat.
Thank you to the owner that restored it.
Bellissimo video c'è ne vorrebbero di più con questo bellissimo escavatore complimenti.🎉🎉🎉
They were hellish things to run compared to the new gear today but I would jump on one in a heartbeat given the chance!!..spent many hours in the seat of a 235 back in the day!..
I love seeing these old work horses still earning their keep. Completely unrelated, I think im going to Ireland.
This cat is truly something to never forget,these made Caterpillar there brand..
This 245 ME is a escort mk1 rs2000 in car terms lol 😮..
Well done to those that restored it..
245 is a Heck of a Machine, you could get a lot done in a day with one...and that engine surely running like a CAT engine should, it knuckles in the power as needed.
Very nice restored machines, they are worked like they are brand new!
I drove one of these 245s on the M50 motorway in Dublin Ireland 32yrs ago.Not as fast as a Poclain 220 at the same time,
but it could sure as hell dig.Great to see one restored to working order.3306 engine too
I think.Where is this
machine?
Andrew Brady it’s in Ballycoolin
Christ! It's only a few miles from home.
Gonna see it in the flesh this weekend.
Thanks for the feedback.
Andrew was that Martin Kennellys 245 you were driving?
3406
It has a 3406 engine not a 3306 the 235 used the 3306.
Better than new Cat
My dad was an operator for over 30 years. I have a few photos of him with this type of excavator.
A cat 245 ME will out dig alot of machines I ran a D series and that thing dug rock
Nothing will out dig a healthy 235 or a 245 in the same weight class ,nothing , these machines are built for high production tough digging . With the right operator in the cab they are untouchable , especially. the D series
@@albertemanuello7471 , the 225D LC was a great rig too.
@@albertemanuello7471 345 b will give it a run for its money
@@lukemason9204 a 345b is under 50 ton. . a 235D at 54 ton will eat a 345B and spit out let alone an 85 ton cat 245D heavy lift trencher arrangement , what drugs are you on boy. i say i say i say boy. I have these machines and see it every day boy. 345b. ha ha little pistons we let the rookies run that mistubisheee dog
Should not be digging on top of the drive motors
Awesome machine ...
I think you can use the machine even if it's not as good as that operator 😉
Good looking unit for sure 👍
That's not a unit it's a cat
Fantastic machine. Cool to see in Ireland.👍
Looks mint
Old cat...very powerfull...compare to most new stuff...
Moving big scoops of material
We never seen this excavator
Awesome video Awesome
Went to look at this machine today, but got chased by security.
Couldn't even stand on footpath and take a look.Any help from you to get some time on site would be great.
2 years on Andrew did you get to see this 245ME
Ein Traum 😍👌🏼👍🏻
Maden ocağı mı?
good shape.
first saw them in Yukon gold an tv show
Is that Danny Lendich driving that digger?
😂😂There would be an explicit content warning if it was! 😂😂
REAL NICE
Where in Ireland are these would love to see them in the flesh 👌👌
Ballycoolin
Who owns these can u tell me please
@@robbiekennedy1029 I actually don’t know the name of the company but not hard to call in with them behind the Maxol garage at Ballycoolin
@@AwesomeEarthmovers yes I no the area tanks for that....must call up some day to see her in d flesh awesome machine the 245......
@@robbiekennedy1029 Most of them have been moved just across the road to dig the basement for a new office block. They’ll be there for a while now
Danmm you driver
Not bad for a video game lol
Awesome. Like
bella macchina ma lui non vale un cax
I like this Job
I need a chance please
To work
Old girl was slow when it was new. Guess a good refurb is 1/4 the cost of new
245s are not slow open the throttle and go , i don't think you know shit about backhoes thats what think boy.
The operator don’t have experience
😎👍👍💎
Doing rock get a Liebherr.
Nothing in that weight class will out dig a healthy 245 nothing Liebherr are good machines but they can't hold a candle to a real CAT. I have seen these machines with 58,000 hrs in a iron ore mine in Minn. digging like a bastard. ,. like a bastard , get it boy , i say, i say , i say boy.
@@albertemanuello7471 All the mines I know use Leibherr. Its the quality of the materials they use. A Leibherr would be barely run in when a CAT is ready for the scrap yard.
Mining is very intensive on machinery.
