…who’s digging at the excavation site so late… The introduction of the Weimar T174 mobile excavator (VEB Weimar Werk) began in 1965. Constant design changes led to the type designations T 174.1, T 174.2 and T 174.2A. However, there was only one really significant change. With the series introduction of the T 174.2 in 1974, additional hydraulic supports were installed after the undercarriage had been revised. Even today, the excavators are still used in agriculture, construction and other industries.
