This is how my parents' basement was dug in 1947. I remember the tall front of the machine, with the 2 masts. It was beat up, not as spiffy as this one. Note that the masts can fold down for transport.
This cable Traxcavator has a clever geometry which hoists only the front end of the arms until the bucket is effectively curled to retain the load, then the entire arms and bucket assembly are raised together, to keep the effective curl angle. Note that the operator is getting his money's worth on every pass. The littlest CAT can produce.
Note that the D2 has a long 5 roller track frame, to support the weight of the loader frame and load. The constant pivoting of the loader cycle will tend to wear out the undercarriage, giving the advantage to wheel loaders. This is why Cletracs often had overshot loaders, to reduce wear on their less robust undercarriages.
It looks like the D2 would fit inside the 992's bucket?
