AMPHIBIOUS EXCAVATORS OR SWAMP EXCAVATORS, SWAMP BUGGIES OR MARSH BUGGIES WITH EXCAVATORS WERE DESIGNED TO CROSS AND DIG IN MARSHLAND, SWAMPLAND, BAYOU(S) (BAYOU = MARSHY OR SLUGGISH WATERWAY), AND CANALS. IN THE EARLY 1990'S THESE UNITS STARTED TO REPLACE THE EARLIER LATTICE BOOM CABLE TYPE DRAGLINES PHOTOA(40K); PHOTOB(40K); PHOTOC(40K); IN DIGGING CANALS TO FLOAT IN SHALLOW WATER DRILLING RIGS, LAY PIPELINES, DO SEISMIC WORK AND LEVEE BUILDING. THEY ARE ALSO USED FOR RIGHT OF WAY MAINTENANCE WHEN CUTTERS ARE ATTACHED. THESE ARE MADE BY REPLACING THE UNDERCARRIAGE OF A NEW OR USED EXCAVATOR WITH A MARSH BUGGY BUOYANT TRACK SYSTEM.
SWAMPS ARE MORE INSHORE AND USUALLY ARE FRESH WATER FED AND HAVE TREES, FRESH WATER MARSHES WITH FEW OR NO TREES ARE NEXT IN LINE TOWARD THE SHORE AND SALT WATER MARSHES WITH DIFFERENT SMALL GRASSES AND PLANTS THAT CAN SURVIVE IN SALT WATER ARE AT THE COASTAL ZONE.
SWAMP BUGGIES ARE USUALLY MADE TO BE ABLE TO DRIVE OVER SMALL TREES AND USUALLY HAVE EXPANDED METAL CAGING TO PROTECT RIDERS FROM TREE BRANCHES. MARSHES HAVE MOSTLY MARSH GRASSES AND DO NOT REQUIRE AS MUCH RIDER PROTECTION AS SWAMP BUGGIES.
TOTALLY AMPHIBIOUS; DOES NOT FORD BUT FLOATS; TRACK MOVEMENT MOVES UNIT EVEN IN WATER, TURNS ARE MADE LIKE OTHER TRACK VEHICLES BY SLOWING OR STOPPING THE TRACK ON THE SIDE YOU WANT TO TURN TO; FIRMER SURFACE FASTER MOVEMENT POSSIBLE; WORKING CAPACITY WILL VARY WITH THE FIRMNESS OF THE MARSH YOU ARE WORKING ON; SOMETHING HAS TO RESIST YOUR MOVEMENT; NEWEST MACHINES CAN WORK IN DEEPER WATER BY ADDING EXTRA FLOATATION AND SPECIAL SPUDS;
THE FIRST MARSH BUGGIES WERE BUILT TO AID IN OIL FIELD DEVELOPMENT IN THE MARSH LANDS OF SOUTH LOUISIANA IN THE MID 1930'S USING BIG WHEELS WITH REAL IMPROVEMENTS IN TRACK SYSTEMS AND MASS PRODUCTION STARTING IN THE LATE 1950'S; EARLY 1950'S VINTAGE SWAMP BUGGY MOWER AA(20K); 1950'S VINTAGE SWAMP BUGGY MOWER CA(20K); UPDATED 20051216
5.19.10. BIG FLOAT MARSH EXCAVATOR, SWAMP EXCAVATOR; NEW GENERATION MACHINES THAT CAN PULL THEIR PONTOONS IN CLOSER TOGETHER FOR EASIER HAULING ON HIGHWAYS; PATENTED SYSTEM WITH SUPERIOR WORKMANSHIP, INNOVATIONS AND PARTS SUPPORT; IN 2 SIZES: 14 METRIC TON AND 21 METRIC TON; CUMMINS DIESEL ENGINE POWER; HYUNDAI EXCAVATORS ARE USED ON MOST UNITS BUT CAN BE ORDERED TO UTILIZE OTHER BRANDS AT HIGHER COST; PHOTO A(60K); PHOTO B(60K); PHOTO C(60K);
A NEW TYPE OF MACHINE FOR MARSHLANDS AND SHALLOW-WATER AREAS. TWO DIFFERENT SIZES WITH 14-TON AND 21-TON EXCAVATORS FOR: TECHNICAL WORK IN WATER AREAS, CONSTRUCTION AND MAINTENANCE OF WATERWAYS. RESTORATION AND TREATMENT OF RECREATIONAL AREAS AND SANCTUARIES. PREVENTION OF FLOOD DAMAGES. LANDSCAPING.
BASIC UNIT: THE WORKING UNIT OF THE BIG FLOAT IS A 21-OR 16-TON STANDARD TRACKED EXCAVATOR WITH OUTREACH OF 15.2 OR 1`2 METERS RESPECTIVELY. IT IS POSSIBLE TO EQUIP THE MACHINE WITH ALL THE CUSTOMARY WORK ATTACHMENTS OF AN EXCAVATOR. THE STANDARD BACKHOE BUCKET OF 800/500 LITERS HAS DRAIN HOLES FOR WATER.
THE STRUCTURE OF THE PONTOON UNDERCARRIAGE: THE TRACK UNITS OF THE BIG FLOAT COMPROMISE A SPROCKET, AND IDLER, TRACK ROLLERS AND STANDARD TRACK-CHAINS, WHICH ROLL AROUND THE TWO PONTOONS. THANKS TO THE UNIT'S NEW CONSTRUCTION, WHICH HAS BEEN PATENTED WORLDWIDE, THE DRIVER CAN USE THE HYDRAULIC CYLINDER TO PULL THE PONTOONS CLOSER TOGETHER FOR DRIVING ONTO A LOW-LOADER OR TRANSPORTING OVER PUBLIC ROADS. ON BIG FLOAT MACHINES IT IS POSSIBLE TO ATTACH ADDITIONAL PONTOONS AND HYDRAULICALLY OPERATED SUPPORT OUTRIGGERS TO THE SIDES OF THE PONTOONS. THESE ATTACHMENTS ARE PROVIDED AS AN OPTION.
EXCELLENT MANEUVERABILITY IN AREAS WHERE TRADITIONAL MACHINES CANNOT EVEN GO. THE BIG FLOAT TRAVELS FROM THE TRANSPORT PLATFORM TO THE WORK SITE ON ITS TRACKS - NO HOISTS ARE REQUIRED. THE PONTOONS ENSURE THE FLOATABILITY OF THE MACHINE IN THE WATER AND SAFE TRAVEL ON SOFT MARSHLANDS AND IN THE WATER. UNDER FAVORABLE CONDITIONS THE MACHINE CAN ALSO BE TRANSPORTED IN THE WATER BY TOWING.
THE WORKING DEPTH OF THE MACHINES WITHOUT OUTRIGGERS IS: BIG FLOAT 16.36/1.5 M (4.92 FEET); BIG FLOAT 12.24/2.0 M (6.56 FEET).
IF THE BIG FLOAT 16.36 MACHINE IS FITTED WITH APPROVED SIDE PONTOONS WITH SUPPORT OUTRIGGERS, THEN IT IS POSSIBLE TO WORK IN DEPTHS GREATER THAN THOSE GIVEN ABOVE. BOTH MACHINE TYPES HAVE BEEN INSPECTED AND APPROVED FOR WATERBORNE TRAFFIC IN FINLAND. THE BIG FLOAT 12.24 MUST BE EQUIPPED WITH AN ADDITIONAL PONTOON. SPUD ASSEMBLIES ARE AVAILABLE ALSO FOR OPERATION IN WATER DEEPER THAN THE PONTOONS CAN TOUCH BOTTOM. (MARSH EXCAVATORS NEED SOMETHING TO REACT AGAINST IN ORDER TO WORK WORKING CAPACITY WILL VARY WITH THE FIRMNESS OF THE MARSH YOU ARE WORKING ON; SOMETHING HAS TO RESIST YOUR MOVEMENT; NEWEST MACHINES CAN WORK IN DEEPER WATER WITHOUT TOUCHING BOTTOM BY ADDING EXTRA FLOATATION AND SPECIAL SPUDS SO THEY BECOME AMPHIBIOUS SPUD BARGES;)
EFFICIENT MACHINE WITH SUPERB OUTREACH THE BIG FLOAT CAN ALSO TRAVEL ACROSS OR WORK ON TOP OF EXCAVATED AND PILED SOIL.

BIG FLOAT 12.24: THE MACHINE IS DESIGNED TO WORK IN AREAS WHERE THE WATER DEPTH IS LESS THAN 2.0 METERS. THE OPTIONAL SIDE PONTOONS PROVIDE THE NECESSARY BUOYANCY FOR TRANSFER ON THE WATER AREAS. A SPECIAL INNOVATION HAS BEEN DEVELOPED TO CONTROL THE PONTOONS, WHICH PROVIDES THE MACHINE WITH SUITABLE TRANSPORT WIDTH DURING TRANSPORTATION AND STABLE SUPPORT WITHOUT SUPPORT OUTRIGGERS DURING WORK.
IN ADDITION TO THE STANDARD BUCKET, THE MACHINE COMES WITH A LONG-REACH BOOM OF 12 METERS OUTREACH AND A BUCKET SIZE OF 500-700 LITERS.
AS AN OPTION THE BIG FLOAT MACHINES CAN BE EQUIPPED WITH SPECIAL ATTACHMENTS FOR PILE DRIVING, SUCTION DREDGING AND REMOVAL OF AQUATIC VEGETATION.

USEFUL INFORMATION:
LIMITED WARRANTIES AND GUARANTIES: ALL ITEMS ARE SOLD AS IS WHERE IS. IT IS NOT PRACTICAL TO SHIP MOST ITEMS ESPECIALLY MACHINERY ITEMS GREAT DISTANCES EVEN BETWEEN STATES AND ESPECIALLY BETWEEN COUNTRIES BUT THESE STATEMENTS SHOW THAT THE ITEMS ARE BETTER QUALITY AND WILL PROBABLY BE REASONABLY TROUBLE FREE WHEN PROPERLY MAINTAINED.
EVEN IF WE BUY A CAR IN THE U.S. IT HAS TO BE DELIVERED BACK TO THE DEALER OR AN AUTHORIZED SERVICE PROVIDER WHERE A DETERMINATION CAN BE MADE THAT A PROBLEM IS DUE TO A DEFECT IN MATERIALS OR WORKMANSHIP AND IS NOT DUE TO LACK OF PROPER OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE. ITEMS USED FOR COMMERCIAL BUSINESS ARE SELDOM WARRANTED TO THE SAME STANDARD AND ARE, IN FACT, USUALLY EXCLUDED FROM WARRANTY. VERY FEW ITEMS HAVE A NATIONAL AUTHORIZED SERVICE NETWORK THAT IS PRACTICAL WHEN WE CONSIDER OUR "DOWN TIME" AND EVEN FEWER HAVE INTERNATIONAL NETWORKS. OUR BEST GUARANTEE IS TO PROPERLY OPERATE AND MAINTAIN WHAT WE BUY AND IT WILL BE CHEAPER OVER TIME AND IN MOST CASES MUCH OF OUR PROFIT MARGIN.
MOTIVATED RESPONSIBLE PERSONS ARE REQUIRED TO MAINTAIN EVERYTHING EVEN PERSONAL RELATIONSHIPS. THIS IS EVEN MORE IMPORTANT IN DEVELOPING COUNTRIES BECAUSE SPARE PARTS AND EXPERIENCED SERVICE ARE NOT AS AVAILABLE. MOST AMERICAN BUSINESSES BUY USED EQUIPMENT WHENEVER THEY CAN AND MAINTAIN IT THEMSELVES ESPECIALLY WHEN THEY ARE GROWING. THE NEW EQUIPMENT IS OFTEN TOO EXPENSIVE AND STILL HAS TO BE OPERATED AND MAINTAINED PROPERLY FROM THE FIRST DAY OR THE DOWN TIME PUTS US OUT OF PROFITABLE BUSINESS. IF WE DO NOT HAVE TIME TO "DO IT RIGHT" WHEN WILL WE FIND TIME "TO DO IT OVER".
AVERAGE WEIGHT OF MATERIAL PER YARD DIGGING COMPACTED FILL DIRT, SAND AND GRAVEL: 2700 LBS (1225 KG), PER CUBIC FOOT 100 LBS (45.36 KG); WET MATERIAL + 20%, ROCK AND ORES WILL USUALLY BE 30 TO 80% HEAVIER;
USEFUL INFORMATION:
BUOYANCY EQUALS 5.25 LBS PER SQUARE FOOT PER INCH OF DEPTH; USING 63 LBS PER CUBIC FOOT OF FRESH WATER (ACTUAL IS 62.4 FRESH WATER, 64.3 SALT WATER AT 68 DEGREES FAHRENHEIT [19.9 CELSIUS] )
DISPLACEMENT HULL SPEED FORMULA: 1.25 TIMES THE SQUARE ROOT OF THE WATER LINE LENGTH = HULL SPEED; EXAMPLES: 30 FOOT LENGTH SQUARE ROOT = 5.477 X 1.25 = 6.846 MILES PER HOUR; 20 FOOT LENGTH SQUARE ROOT = 4.477 X 1.25 = 5.59 MILES PER HOUR; IT TAKES MUCH MORE EXTRA POWER TO PUSH OR PULL FASTER THAN HULL SPEED THAN THE POWER REQUIRED TO GO HULL SPEED OR LESS.
FOR BARGE HULLS ARROW DYNAMICS OF A RAKED BOW HAS ALMOST NO POSITIVE AFFECT ON SPEED BELOW HULL SPEED SO IF A BARGE IS NOT GOING TO BE PUSHED FASTER THAN ABOUT 5 TO 6 MPH A RAKE IS NOT USEFUL, ADDS TO COST AND REDUCES BUOYANCY.

COMPLETE DETAILS ARE
REQUIRED FOR PARTS SEARCH AND THE REASONS ARE:
1
WE NEED THE TYPE OF MACHINE, BRAND NAME, MODEL NUMBER, SERIES NUMBERS, SPEC
NUMBERS (ALSO KNOWN AS PRODUCTION NUMBER IN SOME BRANDS), SERIAL NUMBERS AND
DESCRIPTION TO GET THE AVAILABILITY AND PRICES OF ANY PART OF ANY ITEM NEW AND
USED. THE MODEL NUMBER, SERIAL NUMBER, SPEC. OR PRODUCTION NUMBER
FOR BOTH THE ITEM AND ALL THE NUMBERS OF THE ITEM, MACHINE OR APPLIANCE IT IS
USED IN. THE REASON THIS IS NECESSARY IS BECAUSE OEM'S (ORIGINAL
EQUIPMENT MANUFACTURES) ARE
REMOVING THE MANUFACTURE'S DATA PLATE AND
ARE PUTTING THERE OWN STOCKING NUMBERS ON PARTS SO THAT OWNERS WANTING REPAIR
PARTS HAVE TO COME BACK TO THE MANUFACTURES SYSTEM TO GET THEM.
NUMBERS ARE CHANGED BY MANY COMPANIES AND
MANY COMPANIES ARE BOUGHT OUT BY OTHER COMPANIES AND THE NUMBERS ON ITEMS NOT
DELETED ARE MERGED INTO THE BIGGER SYSTEM.
THIS HELPS SUPPORT THE DEALER SYSTEM AND THE PARTS STOCKING SYSTEM.
PHOTOS NEEDED GRAPHIC A(115K);
THE PEOPLE IN THE WAREHOUSES CANNOT FIND THINGS WITHOUT HAVING ALL THE NUMBERS AND GENERALLY THE WAREHOUSE PEOPLE OF TODAY HAVE VERY LITTLE MECHANICAL APTITUDE AND/OR ACTUAL EXPERIENCE SO THEY HAVE LITTLE IDEA WHAT MOST PARTS DO. SEVERAL FACTORS THAT HAVE BEEN DEVELOPING IN THE PAST DECADE ARE SHOWING THE FUTURE. THERE IS INCREASINGLY RAPID INNOVATION AND IMPROVEMENT AND WORLD WIDE COMPETITION. SOME PEOPLE CALL THIS PLANNED OBSOLESCENCE BUT THIS IS DIFFERENT. EVEN THE FAMOUS VW BEATLE HAD DIFFERENT IMPROVED OR RESHAPED PARTS IN PROGRESSIVELY NEWER MODELS. THERE ARE DIFFERENCES IN THE SAME MODELS IN THE SAME YEAR. THIS IS WHY THE SERIAL NUMBER IS OFTEN NECESSARY TO GET A REPLACEMENT PART. IT SAVES US ALL TIME AND MONEY IF WE GET ALL THE NUMBERS AND PHOTOS RIGHT FROM THE START. SEND PHOTOS FOR REASONABLE LOCATION AND ESTIMATES.
2
IT IS GETTING HARDER TO GET PARTS FOR OLD MACHINERY AND ITEMS OF ALL TYPES OLDER
THAN 1980 EVEN FOR ONE OF THE BEST KNOWN BRANDS WORLD WIDE, THE CATERPILLAR
BRAND. WE HAVE SEEN THIS TREND MOVING TO ONLY 10 YEARS AND LESS PARTS
AVAILABILITY OVER THE NEXT DECADE. THE FUTURE WILL BE "THROW
AWAY" OR "RECYCLE" OR JUST IN TIME PARTS EVEN IN THE FIRST 10
YEARS AFTER MANUFACTURE. WE ARE SEEING AUTOMATED MASS PRODUCTION
CHEAPER THAN REPAIR LABOR AND SPARE PARTS WAREHOUSING COSTS FOR BIGGER
MACHINERY NOT JUST ELECTRONICS AND SMALLER HARD GOODS.
WE HAVE EVEN TRIED A FEW YARDS THAT HAD MANY OLD MACHINES AND THEY WANTED SO MUCH TO TAKE THE PARTS OFF THAT IT WAS NOT WORTH IT ESPECIALLY SINCE THE SAME PARTS ARE USUALLY BAD AND MOST MACHINES OF THE SAME MODELS AND YEARS.
3 MANY PARTS ARE NO LONGER AVAILABLE. THERE ARE JUST TOO MANY DIFFERENT MODELS AND NO ECONOMICALLY EFFICIENT WAY TO STORE PARTS FOR ALL OF THEM SO THE MANUFACTURE'S WAREHOUSING DEPARTMENTS ARE BEING PROMPTED BY THE COMPUTER PROGRAMS, BASED ON "EFFICIENCY" AND "RETURN ON INVESTMENT" STUDIES, TO CLEAR THE SHELVES OF PARTS THAT HAVE NOT MOVED IN SUFFICIENT QUANTITY OVER A VARYING PERIOD OF YEARS. TO DO THIS THEY GENERALLY HAVE "SCRAPERS" COME IN AND CLEAN UP. THERE WAS A GENERALLY FOLLOWED "LAW" THAT A MANUFACTURER HAD TO HAVE PARTS AND REPAIRS OR EXCHANGE FOR AT LEAST 10 YEARS. THIS IS NOT THE CASE WITH MOST MANUFACTURES AROUND THE WORLD NOW. IN THE U.S. THE STANDARD IS FOR 7 YEARS SUPPORT NOW. MANY ITEMS MADE IN CHINA ARE ONE RUN ONLY AND WILL NEVER BE MADE THE SAME.
THE "SCRAPERS" CANNOT AFFORD TO WAREHOUSE EVEN $3,000. CRANK SHAFTS AND OTHER EXPENSIVE MACHINED PARTS THAT MIGHT NOT MOVE FOR MANY YEARS IF EVER SO THE SCRAPERS SELL THEM FOR SCRAP METAL. THE METAL RECYCLERS ARE IN THE SAME SITUATION. EVEN THE BEST MATERIALS CANNOT SURVIVE IN SALABLE CONDITION WITHOUT PROPER CLIMATE CONTROLLED STORAGE AND A SYSTEM TO FIND THEM AGAIN. SEND PHOTOS FOR REASONABLE LOCATION AND ESTIMATES.
4 THE GLOBAL MARKET IS MOVING RAPIDLY TO A "MAKE AS NEEDED PARTS SYSTEM" USING COMPUTER CONTROLLED EQUIPMENT THE SAME AS ABOUT 50% OF THE ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT IS MANUFACTURED NOW. THIS WILL SAVE AN ESTIMATED 50% MINIMUM ON PARTS COST, MAKE IT POSSIBLE TO HAVE PARTS FOR MORE DIFFERENT MACHINES AND ACTUALLY REDUCE THE TIME TO FIND, AND SHIP PARTS WORLD WIDE.
MICROSOFT, WHOM MOST PEOPLE BELIEVE ARE ON THE LEADING EDGE OF CHANGE, PERIODICALLY STOP PROVIDING TECHNICAL SUPPORT FOR THEIR OLDER PRODUCTS. THE POLICY IS TO PROVIDE A MINIMUM OF 5 YEARS OF SUPPORT FOR BUSINESS OPERATING SYSTEMS. CUSTOMERS CAN BUY "EXTENDED SUPPORT" FOR ANOTHER 2 YEARS. MOST OTHER COMPANIES PRODUCING HARD GOODS HAVE OR WILL DO THE SAME IN THE NEAR FUTURE. THIS IS NOT THE 1950'S. THIS IS NOT EVEN THE 1970'S. WE ARE IN THE 21 ST CENTURY. SEND PHOTOS FOR REASONABLE LOCATION AND ESTIMATES.
5 HERE IS SOMETHING WE HAVE LEARNED THAT WILL SAVE ALL OF US TIME. IN THIS DAY AND AGE PHOTO INFORMATION IS ABOUT 10 TIMES AS POWERFUL AS TEXT AND ABOUT 5 TIMES AS POWERFUL AS VOICE COMMUNICATION. PHOTOS ARE INTERNATIONAL LANGUAGE. SEND PHOTOS IF AT ALL POSSIBLE. IF YOU CANNOT FIND THE NUMBERS SEND PHOTOS AND A TEXT DESCRIPTION WITH DIMENSIONS THE BEST THAT YOU CAN. WE HAVE HAD THE EXPERIENCE ON SOME MACHINES THAT DATA PLATES, IDENTITY TAGS AND NUMBERS ARE LOST OR CANNOT BE READ. WHEN YOU SEND PHOTOS WE CAN EMAIL THEM TO OUR NETWORK AND MANY MORE PEOPLE TAKE AN INTEREST AND FIND IT MUCH EASIER TO UNDERSTAND AND FORWARD TO OTHERS IN ATTEMPTS TO FIND PARTS FOR YOU. SEND PHOTOS FOR REASONABLE LOCATION AND ESTIMATES.
6 IN CASE YOU ARE WONDERING THIS IS NOT WORTH DOING FOR ONE OR TWO ORDERS. WE DO THIS TO TRY TO DEVELOP A LONG TERM GOOD WORKING RELATIONSHIP AND TRUST. WE HOPE TO BE ABLE DO OTHER BUSINESS TOGETHER IN THE FUTURE.
7 ALSO SEND SHIPPING INFORMATION INCLUDING ADDRESS WITH ZIP CODES, CONTACT INFORMATION AND PREFERRED METHOD AND CARRIER.
8 MANY MACHINE SHOPS CAN REPAIR OR REMAKE MANY PARTS IF THAT IS ALL THAT IS KEEPING AN OLD MACHINE FROM WORKING. WE HAVE EVEN HAD LOCAL REPRESENTATIVES OF MACHINE TOOL MANUFACTURERS TELL US THAT ON OLD LATHES IT WILL BE CHEAPER AND FASTER FOR THE CUSTOMER TO HAVE THE PART MADE LOCALLY. IT WOULD ALSO TAKE 6 TO 9 MONTHS TO HAVE THE PART MADE BECAUSE OF LEAD TIME AND SHIPPING. ANOTHER SLOW DOWN IS THAT MANUFACTURES WILL MOST OFTEN NOT SHIP DIRECT SO PARTS HAVE TO GO THROUGH THE NEAREST DISTRIBUTOR THEN THEY CAN BE EXPORT SHIPPED. SEND PHOTOS FOR REASONABLE LOCATION AND ESTIMATES.
9 YOU ARE CORRECT. PHOTOS ARE NECESSARY. SEND PHOTOS. WITHOUT PHOTOS WE BOTH WASTE TIME. YOU DO NOT BELIEVE HOW HARD AND TIME WASTING IT IS TO GET EVEN NEW PARTS WITHOUT PHOTOS ESPECIALLY WHEN WE ARE DEALING THROUGH OTHERS EACH ONE HAVING A DIFFERENT UNDERSTANDING OF WORDS. PHOTOS NEEDED GRAPHIC A(115K);
10 IF YOU FIND ANY SOURCES WOULD YOU PLEASE LET US KNOW AND WE WILL MARKET COPIES OF MANUALS AND SURPLUS AND SALVAGE PARTS WITH YOU.
