Dave's Dams

John Deere 9570R and K-Tec 1233 retrofitted with custom rear hydraulic rippers moving clay, sand and bulldust to construct a 150ML dam to capture overland flow on the Atherton Tableland, Queensland. This project was undertaken by DOM's long time K-Tec customer and water storage construction specialist

The K-Tec is very reliable. The running costs are absolutely minimal. We just don’t touch it compared to other buckets. It’s a big, tough machine. We’ve put it in some really tough situations with rock and it just bounces back. That’s what we like about it. It’s tough. Pat was great to deal with, I found him extremely honest. So to me, I trusted him straight away, it was no drama. We just went ahead with the deal, worked out the price and we were done. The backup support has been great. Parts have generally been in stock or whatever we’ve needed. K-Tec cutting edges are dramatically cheaper than anything locally. That’s just the way it is.
