This machine was a beast, basically a big, extra heavy duty TLB(tractor-loader-backhoe). A very rugged, tough machine, quite a bit bigger and heavier than the Others, JD's, Case's, etc. They came in 2 wheel drive and 4WD. Last forever, with those never-say-die GM Detroit, Clark (I think) drive trains, etc. Bucyrus-Erie (the greatest name in big power shovels) sold these machines for a while after they bought the Hy-Dynamic company that first made the Dynahoe. The 290 has got to be really big since the Dynahoe 190/200 spec sheet that i have shows the 200 to be the biggest TLB in the world. ARe you sure the one you are looking at isnt a 190? Dig to 20 feet(with the 200) break out 17,000 lbs with the loader. You didn't see a lot of these on your average construction sites since they were so big and not as handy to move around, but the town highway department where I live has had one practically forever, and it serves them well, they don't need an excavator since this out digs some excavators. I don't know if Dynahoe's are still being made. They might be, sincee Bucyrus-Erie sold Dynahoe to Terex, which makes and sells cranes and loaders. You could probably get parts and service at a Terex dealer, check the net A bit big for personal use, but then I like big and heavy. I'd snap it up if the price is halfway reasonable and you have a way to get it home. excuse the long post just got long winded. My $0.02, hope it helps. .
