    Yeah ive heard something similar myself. The thing about bad crib horses that I hated was replacing all the top rails on the corral fences every few years.

    3 feet shorter than the operator would like... At least that's how I always felt running excavator. Didnt matter how big or small the machine was, I always ended up wanting 3 more feet of swing boom at some point.

    Saw one of these for the first time last week.

    Guy that loaded me said he won't drive one. Apparently they can do almost as well as the turret lifts.

    They did... Some of it has melted or blown someplace else. But there are still many spots where you can see 3 to 5 foot deep plow cuts. Was through there twice yesterday on my run to Boise and Wilder

    If someone will hold my beer, and I dont have to stick around for the recovery process... I might be willing to give it a whirl.

    They do it out of boredom. I had a few vets tell me other things too but I didn’t believe them. I read an article that said they get addicted to it LOL. I’m going to start doing that on the coffee table and when someone says something I will tell them to back off, I have an addiction.

    We had a small Morooka in the oilfield. Used it to pull poly water lines through the hills. The parking brake handle was placed just so that if you weren’t careful it was instant castration. I asked them to move it multiple times but I’m stupid and they were lazy.
