Nice job you got going there, I know the city engineer for your project pretty well, should be a scottish guy Bob, correct? If its not him then I think it may be big Vinny. This is down on Wharburton right?

in the pictures why are the idlers to the front of the machine?..i was always taught idlers to the back for 2 reasons...1 if it slips your first reaction would be to push the track pedals forward and not try to push your toes down on the back of the pedals which is very differcult to do in a reaction situation.2 the idlers are where your track adjustment is so digging over the idlers puts pressure on those seals...only my opinion if you guys think different let me know

I'm a third generation operator and all my uncles and most of my friends operate to and the first thing your taught is idlers forward especially in the street any boss or foreman I've had will judge you by that
