We had a heavy snow over night here in Ont & I was pushing back some snow piles & this is when I was just finishing up. We haul the snow from our main yard to this storage compound & shove it back into piles. Was too soft to get the dump truck back where we wanted too, so had to push it further today. We have had a couple weeks of warmer weather up here before the snow came over night & it is pretty soggy under foot! https://1drv.ms/v/s!AlJeXIKywrAm6SYhkxPN7g8nPvft
Very nice looking dozer. That shiny hood is an attention getter !
What part of Ont? You guys don't seem to have much snow.
I am SOOO Jealous!! And you operate it like a pro. Watched a 'Contractor' on a neighbors place last week, guy either was a BAD operator and could not hold a company position long or never got the memos from Cat on how to shift a power shift. Had a D7e Power Shift never decel'd just slammed from F-R. I expect the trans he had replaced last year(I asked how the machine ran) will not make it two. Has been open just four years as a pond/local grade contractor. Flashy dump truck, flashier NEW haul truck and fairly new drop neck lowboy. I saw lots of red flag I have to stay working fast jobs dollar signs!! Pond he set needs the levee straightened up, bottom looked like crap, ALL rough as a cob, not dressed or seeded where the neighbor said he does it some cheaper than the big guys and he doesn't do finish grade to keep the price down. Neighbor has a mess to deal with.
That's a nice machine you have there. Kind of funny how it sounds almost exactly like my D8H when you are running it.
I'm surprised no one commented that he was going to die and go to hell for mounting a cup holder to the roll cage
You mean that's not factory
At least is bolted not welded on!! And is a ROPS, not a roll cage.
Actually it is a fire extinguisher holder not a cup holder- the fire extinguisher I just noticed it missing a couple of days ago..........perhaps someone needed worse than I! The shiny hood that was mentioned a few posts back was just redone about a month ago; shoulda seen it before then, all dented up, some holes in it etc. & then our painter got a hold of it, patched up the holes, some bondo, some sanding & made it look like new again! Almost seems to run a bit better with a shiny new hood on it.........funny how that works!
