4.0 out of 5 stars A must read for anyone who owns or operates "eucs"., October 26, 1999
By A Customer
I've thoroughly enjoyed reading Orlemann's book. As both a user and a fan of "green iron", I'm glad someone went through all the work to research the subject. Although it reads a bit on the dry side, the detailed technical data is appreciated. The most pressing questions I had, such as what happened to the Terex line and why, are sufficiently addressed by Orlemann. He also covers the transformation of Euclid from a family owned and operated company to GM's heavy equipment division. To top it all off, there is a chapter on prototypes that never made it to production, including 92 series trackloaders and an 82-30C.

5.0 out of 5 stars Euclid as you have never seen it, January 6, 2001
By Jeff Solley (New Galilee, PA USA) - See all my reviews
This book does a very fine job of chronicling the history of Euc and Terex from the start of the companies to the last round of buyouts and mergers. Although it doesn't do a complete job bringing the equipment into present day, it had to stop somewhere. It does however mention the present day incarnations of these machines.

Any fan of the "Green Weenies" will love all the data presented here. There is a complete description of the Euclid numbering system. Pictures of experimental models that will make you wonder "What were they thinking?" Some of the old pictures that have been found in the Euc archives probably didn't reproduce the color as well as one would have hoped. However they are pictures of machines that you will probably never see again. Well worth the effort to produce what was done. Newer color pictures are of the high standard that one would expect from this author.

I have used this book as reference guide so many times that it has become indespensible.

Another fine job by Eric C Orlemann

4.0 out of 5 stars A must read book for any owner of Euclid/Terex equipment, December 29, 1998
By A Customer
I found this book to be quite informative from the beginnings of Euclid to the present day Terex.With a heavy emphasis on such machines as the 82-80 Super Dozer,the famous Titan as well as a definitive account of the entire scraper line,this book was easy reading for any earthmoving enthusiast.The book did tend to bog down a little with product id numbers I also wish it would have explored the competitions role of how euclid evolved into a major player on the heavy equipment marketplace. The pictures were as good as it gets with many action shots as well as great factory pics. As someone who owns mostly caterpillar equipment but no Terex,I still found this book to be very concise and most facinating.I highly recomend this book for anyone with interest in this subject matter.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful BOOK on EUCLID and Terex-GM the good old days.
It is sad that Terex and Euclid are no longer part of GM, much due thanks to the government at the time, and also GM's lack of interest later on. Read more

3.0 out of 5 stars Excellent book as far as it went, very poor color pictures
The book covered what it did very well. It mainly concentrated on bulldozers and scrapers and left mining trucks somewhat glossed over. Read more
