I finally reached it.... 973 posts. So now can Steve make sure it stays at 973? I know it can be done. Now chop chop with it chief. So what have you all been up to for the last couple weeks. I have been working my undercarriage off... or at least thats what I am gonna let you think. Here are some new pics of the adventures in oil land. And yes.... every picture in post 973 will include a 973.
Well that didn't last long.... post 974... Steve get on er buddy.
Number 975....
I guess these pics should have been in post 657. And to explain the first picture.... yes a 657E makes a great tow truck.
And here is it... I switched sites finally over to a big dirt crew job. mmmm rock trucks. I remember the days.
Rock trucks... who knew we had em....
More rock trucks... and that little hoe we use for diggin stuff up. Anyone losing interest?
More rock trucks.
Who likes off roading? Well around here we do it with 740's
Well they finally floated the 385 over to the next site. But there was a little problem with the float tractor so they ended up havin to bring in a pinch hitter float tractor. The last 2 pics I managed to catch the top secret super tractor running around north america.
And now for videos.... because I think we all know I like taking videos now more than pictures. Moving pictures if you will. Caterpillar 345BL Doing some backfilling. A real hack of an operator though YouTube - Caterpillar 345BL John Deere 624J just moving some crap around. YouTube - John Deere 624J The Caterpillar 973C Chase scene.....

Do you guys run a lot of those ejector trucks?
Not trying to answer for him, But they seem to be more popular up here than their counterparts. I think its mainly a saftey thing with less chance of a rollover.
The reason I ask is the company I work for has rented one for a while. It seems OK in some ways and problems in others. The no rollover thing is nice, but I could see some problems with more moving parts.
Yeah we seem to like them, they have about 40-50 of em now?
Sweet photos man... never get tired of 'em When you have 40-50 ejectors I bet they do work well... I still think the ejector plate is waaaay too slow to be productive imo.
Nice shots!
I guess if we'd been quick enough we could've banned you at 973. :ban Outside of that, I think the only option is to go and delete one of your posts for each new one you make. We wouldn't want to do that though, would we? :cool2 Just keep going and shoot for 9,730...
It seems like the ejector truck that we have rented dumps about as fast as our regular 740's. They just won't buy the ejectors because they don't think it would be a good idea to haul shot rock in them.
Hey diggs..... do you really want me to shoot for 9730 posts? As for the ban at 973 posts... I could deal with that. I'd just create a new account... Mr. 973. I mean umm......John Smith.. yes thats it.
Post Count....973: "Hey diggs"... that's great Bur... I mean John. lol Dang, I probably shouldn't do that... :ban Sorry, digger242j... and I apologize to the forum, as well... OCR... :duh
Is that hammer powered by a perpetual motion machine? :cool2 :tong Nah. That'd be a Sureway to burnout your computer. (And probably the server too....) :bash
Just your server Diggs..... I just bought a new computer which makes 3 in here. And I have tons of room for pics now. Krissy got me 2 1TB hard drives and I have a new camera. I also nominate you change your name to Diggs.
Like the old saying goes, "You can call me anything you want to, just don't call me late to dinner..."
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha I said that once, and was astonished at the names that came out of such a pretty girls mouth. And none of those names were very pretty. Although me and the girlfriend are working on a new drink for adults.....For any who watch the Simpsons... who remembers the Flaming Moe/Homer drink? We are thinking one up called the Flaming Alex. And I promise its not just me running around in a pink shirt with a purse screaming.... Hey girlfriend :cool2
Now that is good ... :lmao :thumbsup Sorry, Burnout... lol Probably... it'll no doubt beat on me forever... OCR
