Hey Bellboy...
...we hijacked one of your machines for our new job!
But serisouly, I went to the dealer today looking for the 974 and an IH 175 track loader. No loaders in stock, had a 3-set of the 974 and 580 loader and a Volvo A40D truck so I got that, and a nice little two-tone blue Mack R dump too. I wanted to get a few jobs in before we go to winter mode, so here they are, working with the 3-way crusher (only 2 products for here) and EC240 on a job making rock for the Forest Service. We'll put in the road using up the rock next week.
-Overview, new A40D loaded and pulling away.
-The crusher, 580, and old A40D.
-Different view, really shows the kind of terrain we have to work with. Trust me, noone but me would take the 974 through that tight of a squeeze.
-240 knockin' the rock in, with the R standing by to take a few of the larger chunks to stockpile for retaining walls.
-View from the top.
And we ended up taking the FrankenGrader apart, the 16H is back on duty and the 627 cab/engine is back in the shop for a new project...:cool2
