Been a long time

I figgered out how to run it. No help needed. Have you ran any blades into Lompoc, Ca?

 

no - I was supposed to run that Top tower section from Wisconsin to the jawbone canyon project loosely near Tehachapi but the redirected it to the crane yard in Vegas.

I was glad when I heard it was taking the last mile contractors a day and half to get it to the pad site from where they turned off the pavement. Guess they hard to pull them like 6 places with a dozer and a motor grader. That would been the ultimate crap show

 

interesting — they ship some of those outta rocky mount / Battleboro NC . Used to pick up elevator parts right across the street at my previous job

haven’t seen one in the wild yet. How you like it?

 

@stwik Well, I only have 20 hrs on it but it seems to work ok for the price. I dont care much for the hydrostatic drive as its very weak in the push/pulling dept. The hoe detaches in 15 minutes and I have a 3 pt hitch auger that attaches pretty quick too. I added a manual thumb to the hoe and that helps alot. With the hoe it weighs about 3200 lbs and is 4' wide so it gets around this old guys 5 acres pretty easy. These are made for a guy with lots of time on their hands as it doesnt move dirt very quick.....ALSO, it only has 1 cup holder........

 

Stepped out of the big truck. Went into a belly truck. Getting a little old to throw chains. Finish out last two years doing something easy. Still have the respect from the owners and drivers. Hard to give up that #1 driver position though.
