    A new bunker for silage, 6x8 posts will be holding concrete panels together, a footing trench would not have worked on this job, pics 3 and 4, you can see the height of the bunker, those are the pre-cast panels, but these ones will be 2 high laid horizontally.

    Yup, about 90% of it, the rest is some weekend warrior stuff and commercial, but I love the Dairy Farmers, they got deep pockets!

    They have deep pockets because my family drinks milk nonstop! Twice as much if you count the chocolate milk dad and I pick up on the way to work.

    How do you like the Cat? Bobcat controls the market in New England so I don't see too many other brands.

    I love the Cat, much higher hydraulic power, I wasn't even using 1/2 throttle on this job, fuel tank size is small though, I thought it was just a pump sucker, but the T190 I had before had a 28 gallon tank, this Cat has 17 gallons, so 8 hours on a tank is good enough. I did a nice side by side comparison between the two machines on ********, the loaders are much stronger on the Cat's versus Bobcat, and this is a smaller machine compared to the Bobcat.
