For anyone interested in the history of this great company check out the Book. Warner & Swasey Construction equipment Author= James H. Grant. There is an attachment that can make a DIPPER Like a regular Excavator you can add to the boom. The company made Fire Engine chassis also as a part of company. They had a regular Hoe. A (1900) biggest Hoe in the 70s. Twin (8V-71 DD) it dug down 36 feet 200.000 ponds. 4 yard bucket standard. The problem back then they were competitive with Koehring 1266 monster (air control) and BUCYRUS-ERIE (500-H) a monster for the time. The Koehring had push button control on two main Levers. B.E. had function on top of main lever ( left & Right) So both Koehring and B.E. you did not have to use your foot for function
great job on operating
I operate one of the rear engine 4100's. Kind of like it better than the new ones.
I see this machine has outriggers. Is that a new option or was this a custom add-on by the company?

the electronic is way slower then the old two engine graddalls but the old ones they killed on your back by the end of the day.
Very slow operator and why the hell does it have outriggers?
