My dad had 2 977L models with the 'peterson clam' demo bucket. We leveled the whole bay area with those loaders. With the right operator, nothin could stop a 977

Finally, a video of an operator that ain't afraid to put a full load on a truck.

My father had two 977 L in his firm. In the summer holidays of my third year of university I have used this loader for 2 months digging a tunnel on a autoroute. I remember a perfect loader . 10 minutes after blast mines I was on the front , loading trucks, revolving in a reduced area. Albert Emanuello say the truth, Cat was the best loader maker in 70" - 80" years

There's one of these rusting away at an old abandoned cement factory near me. It probably has some parts missing but I'd love to see it run. It belonged to a demo company and has 2 arched bars running from the hood to the cab

Pretty smooth operating with that powershift. Alot better than I can do . Good tough old tractors but different learning curve than hydrostats for sure. Powershift are harder to operate smoothly. This guy is good.

I have proved it time after time, I can load a dump truck quicker with my 955 than a 200 class excavator, i have been on a955 L most of my life,these new so called operators we have today have no clue how to run one, they just sit a spin on an excavator with a radio in there ear and a I phone in the other,the man that taught me how to operate a 55 is dead now and I'll never forget how he could make 55 talk,he was something else on that loader, RIP James Lett

the new ones my ass that L model is cats ass they can not afford to build a CAT like a real CAT anymore this machine has enough steel to build four of the new type light weight crap they call a CAT i remember back in seventies eighties and early nineties if you owned CAT equipment it was like being pristine you felt proud better than the others you owned the best the best resale, the best parts program the best sales program the best design the best quality the best steel the best dealer the best service manual the best parts books the best looking the life cycle need i say more now can you say all this with confidence nowadays. they still have a good parts program the dealers are not as friendly the machines are mistubishee half breeds and they root out in a couple of years in the elements. it just ain't the same is it was they wouldn't even sell you a machine unless you were a half decent outfit.
