Cat D8K classic comes to the rescue

The action here takes place at a veteran machine dig day in Holland, with a number of classic machines in action in the background including Poclain and O&K excavators. The Cat D8K is owned by Dutch machinery dealers HPA Ploegmakers, and is by all accounts an Ex-US Army machine, which is described on their website as in as new condition with very low hours and 95% good undercarriage. Could there be a better example of the model anywhere in the world? I very much doubt it.
