Nice pics Oz :drinkup
Thats when you find out who's a real mate. ? whos got a camera Great pics :thumbsup
Looked like you took good care of your equipment!!! Was the dozer backing down into an old pond or something.Tracks was going the other direction like he was backing down the slope.Looked dry everywhere else. Can't say the same here on my jobs. Thanks for sharing the pic:usa
what i didnt take a photo of was my 615 bogged just in front of his blade,went down door side and i couldnt get out. we were fixing a dam that was leaking through the bank. and he backed into a nice patch of wet sand. and yeah he did take good care of his gear come winter time each machine would be fixed from front to back and painted if need be, he now has a very nice fleet of modern gear. the only things that were damaged a lot were the timber machines but you come to expect that a bit
Yeah tree clearing is hard on equipment.Hard to believe wood is harder then steel !!!!!!! We have hedge trees here and they can sure make a believer out of you.My dozers have cabs so sometimes it is hard to get back to the base of a big wolly hedge tree to uproot it,without losing a little paint . Have a good day:usa
a few more my old 27b, some clown put a brass bush in the horizontal hitch points, some clown bogged in a dry paddock and a nice size load
few more ten minutes after that i was bogged in that blue mud, boss said just hit it in second gear youll be right, nose first filled engine bay with soup
