A few pics I snapped from a small lake we are digging.:drinkup
Nice Pics. Looks like a nice non-congested job site. Does your dog ride with you while your working? :usa
good pics, looks like your copilot was telling you to get back to work.
Heres my pooch on the job, she's a little too big for a dozer ride but she does like the dump truck loader and backhoe!!
She will ride the dozer all day long. Good looking pooch you have there.
hwimberley is that a blue heeler, I have one that will ride on the dozer all day long and lean out and watch everything the dozer is doing.
Looks like you're doing a nice job and that red clay hard material should be good for sealing the bottom.
hope to be finished this week, ready to head back home, yes sir blue heeler best dog i have ever had goes everywhere with me, have not found a truck or tractor she wont ride:usa
Nice I'm guessing you work for a small outfit? Man if brought a dog on site I would get reamed at most of the places I've worked for.
Here is my chocolate lab Jax. When he was a pup he sat on the floor of my excavator, now he's a little to big at 100lbs!
Hey Tonka, I see your from Jersey, where abouts??
Why dig a small lake with dozers?
I'm in Voorhees, just moved here in aug from out west.
On digging small lakes with dozers. Hi, Bobcat Ron. Might I enquire how else you would excavate a small lake if you have TWO DOZERS and NOTHING else? I certainly wouldn't put excavators into a job like that without trucks AND a blade-equipped compactor. And I have this sneaking suspicion that it might take a just a little while with a skid-steer/Bobcat. Dozers do have the benefits of doing their own loading, hauling, spreading and 'sorta' compacting. Excavators are a bit like an udder on a chook outisde their own working radius 'cos they hafta keep RE-handling the material to get it to where it needs to go if that is beyond their reach. And they are a bit on the useless side too when it comes to compacting their work as they go. Elevating scrapers are great - - - IF you happen to have them. Not everybody does. Trucks are about as much use as a hip pocket in a singlet unless you have something at the 'source' to shovel the **** on them and something else at the delivery end to spread and compact it. Track and 4wd loaders work in similar fashion to dozers in long push situations, although not as economically for the size of the machine. Nice photos, Hwimberley. Thanks for sharing.
Chook = chicken if you guys from the US don't know.
if it ain't a cat its a dog
But a dog is more dependable than a cat
That dog does a good job of carrying a full blade of dirt.
wow chicken udders! i just got that. who milks chickens? "sfc But a dog is more dependable than a cat " dogs are lazy though.. well at least mine is. And he licks his own butt, which imo any animal who licks anybody's butt can't be trusted.
Heres a picture of my to dogs, one is a jack russell you can just see in the back window who also licks its bits, the other is not the most reliable komatsu. I dont need security because the dog wont let anybody within 10feet of the cab so a dog is more reliable than a cat
would you rather it walk around with clinkers or drags its arse across your seat sfc i too have two jack russells the best security system to have well put across deas as usual cheers graham
sfc, Good Lord! What are all of those numbers for? Regulatory requirements or what?
numbers one is a mobile number the other is a landline number
