I would have quickly given my left testicle for this machine when I started my fabrication shop.
Looks to be around a 60 ton, the price is unheard of if the thing works but all parts should still be available. Mubea, the rolls royce of this type of machine
 
Someone put a lot of effort into that machine and got it all functional, all the little wheels and adjustment are there and not bent. When you get into the guts of these, it is interesting as to how they managed to multiply force. With the flywheel rolling my rig can chop a piece of 1/2 with the power off and still be turning when its done. I put a sliding stop on mine when I was doing ornamental fence work. You can't beat it for repeat exact length parts.
 
One shop I worked in had a pirahna 20 ton. I used it all the time. Other guys using grinders and chop saws. So quick and easy. Can cut and notch an angle frame in minutes. Loved using an iron worker. This one is magnitudes better.
 
This is the type of machine I had.
It was a Gairu suprema 13, a 60 ton machine (made in Spain) I dont have any pictures of it.
This similar machine shown in the picture is a suprema 16. I couldnt find any othet details or pics on google.

I could punch 1-1/8 thru 3/4" (very scary) 3/4"×6" in the shear station (like butter) and 6x6x3/8 angle (made a cool snapping sound)
We would make a lot of detail for structural steel, base plates, clips and so on.
I bought it from armstrong machine shop i think i paid ?4,500? and loaded it on my 1 ton. Idk how heavy it was but the suspension went down about 3". Slow drive back to Osoyoos but I was very happy
When I downsized i traded it, i got all the money back plus a much smaller peddinghaus 1/4"×6", 3"×3"×1/4" a real nice machine.
Its in ok shape needs a bit of work on the punch otberwise everything else is good. Maybe ill take a picture or two. Its the last large machine left from my fab shop after i downsized
