Digger Man Blog returns to see Cat super show in Malaga

My last trip to Malaga was back in September 2011, when I was very privileged to attend the Reveal 2011 event, where we were introduced to the K series wheeled loaders, E  series excavators, G series off-highway trucks and the D8T track type tractor. Details of this trip have not been disclosed so far, but I expect to be seeing the new C series articulated dumptruck’s and possibly other new products, which I hope to be reporting on for the blog and Earthmovers Magazine. So plenty of action for our readers to look forward to in the coming weeks! One thing that I guarantee I will be witnessing is the world famous Malaga push, where five Caterpillar dozers, ranging from the D6 right up to the mighty D11, perform an awesome display of dozing power in front of the grand stand. High on my wish list for this visit is to get some seat time in the big D11 dozer, not sure if it’s a goer, but I will be trying my best to make it happen. If it does I will be writing about my experience on the blog. In the meantime here is some footage of this well-rehearsed performance.
During my last visit, I got to fulfil my schoolboy dream and operate a motor scraper, you can read about that by clicking on this link.
