I figured I would go ahead and post my introduction here, seeing as this is the spot where I will be spending most of my time. I have been an excavator owner operator since 1989 and an operator for many yrs before that. I am currently using a cat 330l with a bucket and thumb that I purchased new in 95, at my next service It will have just over 18.000 hrs and still going strong. Very pleased to have found this site, and am looking forward to sharing.
nice to hear from you. i too am from calif...the mid central valley and have been digging almost 30 yrs.
