It looks like a 995 model excavator, I think. I used to operate a 994B and the one in the video looks a little bigger. It can't be bigger than a 995 as the 996 has the cab mounted on the opposite side of the machine. Soooo, if it's a 995, they come with a 26.5 cubic meter bucket (googled that), so 25 tonnes of water or thereabouts.

Cheers,
Dave.

Actually R9800. Liebherr's new model excavator, bigger than the 996.

38-40m3 bucket (~76t rock), 4000hp...

First one is meant to be coming to australia...no sure when.

Good stuff. Thought it looked way bigger than the 994B, bit hard to tell in dodgey videos though. Sounds like a beast.
