I ran heavy equipment in southeast Kentucky from 1982-1992. Cat and Komastu. Went to work in a manufacturing plant for 26 yrs. Now getting back to what I loved- running equipment and playing in the dirt. I have an old Cat D4C, Kubota SVL-75 and a old GMC K8500. I'll be getting a mini-excavator in the near future. I'm stating my own Excavating business. Hope to get lots of info and help from you senior guys that been at it a long time. Have a GREAT day!!
