Plus, we get firsthand feedback from the operators who were behind the controls, offering insights into what makes the PR776 such a unique and powerful machine.

    Due to the event’s success and the overwhelming demand from the Northern Nevada mining community, we’re excited to announce that Mining Minds and Liebherr Mining will be hosting the PR776 Dozer Rodeo once again in the 775 (Northern Nevada)! Mark your calendars for November 20th, 21st, and 22nd, when operators will once again have the chance to get behind the controls of the Liebherr PR776 dozer. On Friday, November 22nd, maintenance professionals will also have the opportunity to experience the ease of maintenance on these powerful machines during a scheduled PM session.
