    Nice photo, just from the distance and machine around it I am guessing the self loading scraper is a 762? Thanks for sharing. Trbo

    tscacadt, we do a few things but compaction specs and the like have made it next to impossible to move any large quantity of dirt when it stays cold for extended periods. gd10r ill work on a few pics of the pans thanks for the interest

    We always faced the same thing X, large projects were alot harder if not impossible to complete during the winter months, open it up and get snow or lots of rain and you have a mess til spring. Grandpa has kept track of every starting date for almost 60 years(earth moving, not the rock crushing) and for us it averages out to around the first week in April. Some years a guy was going before, other years it was mid April before we were able to move dirt. Trbo

    Nice pic, thanks for sharing these with us. I would also be interested in some working pics, what else is in your fleet at work, or is that everything?
