What the specifications mean
Use the straight-blade width to assess the working lane, then allow additional room for articulated steering and blade corners. Tire-to-tire width alone does not describe this machine’s envelope.
The exhaust stack stands above the cab in the published drawing. A cab-height-only transport check would miss the highest listed component.

A brochure configuration is not an individual marketplace machine. Serial/PIN and build information are required for exact verification.
Used 834 inspection priorities
- Inspect the straight blade, corner bits, push arms and tilt linkage as one load path; a larger replacement blade changes the reference basis.
- Check articulation pins and tire condition together. Uneven tire sizes or wear can affect driveline loading and the working stance.
Configuration-aware inspection: these checks are triggered by machine category, installed configuration and technology package. Brochure-listed technology must be physically present, active, licensed and calibrated on the used machine.
Hours, condition and ownership cost
Hours are context, not a condition grade. Duty cycle, idle time, maintenance evidence, wear-system measurements, structural repairs and installed technology should be evaluated together.
Cost drivers to model
- Budget for a complete matched tire strategy and blade wear parts rather than treating tire replacement as an isolated purchase.
- Confirm the loaded route and any removable components with the carrier; the published blade-on-ground length is a machine dimension, not a transport permit.
Configuration
Equipment and configuration
Match the installed equipment to the serial-specific build record and the measurement basis shown above.
Configuration details to confirm
- Blade arrangement
- Stockpile or mine application
- Tires
- Counterweight
A model specification does not establish compatibility with a particular attachment or option.
