    wow, thats a trench, how do you level the pipe bed under the crossing utilities, drive a d-3 sized dozer into the trench?

    Nice pics Reddot! That's a nice, neat trench. In the second pic I see you have a digging line painted on the ground. Is it offset to the side or on the center?

    bucket head: thats a inside trackline..when i ran the ol 235's i used a outside trackline but it seems about 10 or 15 yrs ago they moved the cabs farther back so you can't see an outside track line very well. for some reason i can't dig very well using a center line
