Where is everyone #5

Well, it was right around 13’ even with worn corner bits.

Got it down to just under 12’ which is good….

 

Anything negative to watch out for around Marion, Illinois…..?

 

They just rebuilt both coops to the south on 57 a couple years back. They like to work late there.

 

Appreciate that. Customer just said out around Marion, must be a mine out in that area? Gotta quote load of new equipment to be delivered out there…..

 

That things gonna need a bottom. Dont know about the rails , but them pads are gone.

 

Today's work. New construction, this is the driveway.
51k inbound, rears in low & locked up, 3rd low on box, creeeeep up- touch the pedal wrong spin all the drives.
2 trucks, take turns in & out.
Coming out empty last load, switchback at the bottom, head back up, about 500' in.....Fuuuuuuuu!!! Gene what the!!!! He's coming down loaded!
He hits the binders, all 6 lock, hop hop hop.
I throw her in Retreat (low, low, low remember!) and commence backing with urgency.....he's gaining on me! Barely make the switchback, he whoas up and jumps out.
" That was some drivin' there partner! I ain't seen nothin like it! Youz the best backer I ever seen!"

 

Dont miss the setup on this one, you only get one chance.

 

So not a power angle tilt like ours. I was afraid those might be a little wider. Last dozer that had an angle blade like that that I ran was a 17A D7 cable dozer Showing my age again!

 

Kind of looks like some of the ground along Lolo Cr.
