    EDGE&TA Best Of The West Show.

    EDGE&TA show Hi, Deas. Gee Deas, thanks for posting that. It looks like it will be a good show. I think I'll make an effort to attend. Digger242j, your response is an example of why I don't post here much these days. I come here to let the members know about an upcoming show...

    Different worlds Hi, Randy Kreig. Great photos of very interesting content, as always. Posts such as yours help me to begin to understand some of the shifts I would have make in my thinking to cope with living in the environment shown in your photos. Thank you.

    Watching the beasts at feeding time. Hi, ShaunR. I faintly suspect that where two of them work pretty regularly is subject to some level of security. Another site where they work from time to time is subject to low-level security, i.e., you need a reason and a name of a person...

    Who's to blame? Hi, AusDave. Thank you for your views on the issues being discussed here - although I personally think that this thread would be more appropriately placed in the TGIF forum as it does not specifically apply to dozers as such. Just my 0.02 on this tiny minor...

    Links. Hi, Dozer575. Thank you for posting that link. I found it interesting that Al Gore was inciting the youth of not just the U.S.A. but the whole world to ignore their parents and get on his bandwagon. I also found it interesting that Glen Beck compared Al Gore's call...

    McAninch pull type scrapers

    Yer entitled. Hi, $Maker. I'd be interested to hear what it tells you up front when someone confuses a 'scraper' with a 'pan'. Please feel free to share. I've got a pretty thick skin. Let's not get into semantics here. Local names regardless, a SCRAPER is a...

    The book. Hi, Alan627B. Not much progress in that area lately - too busy gallivanting around the countryside, taking photos of old machinery, sniffing the 'backsides' of Cat 660's with a D9G blade and meeting long-time 'net acquaintances. Getting addicted to all the above too...

    Me a genius? Hi, Randy. Me a genius? No, M8. I didn't take the time and trouble to put that stuff together. Other people did that. I just happen to know where to find that particular site. I'd bet that a Google search would turn up a lot more of it too. Yes, I have seen the...

    Different type of scraper?

    Wottizzitt? Hi, Folks. Nisha-Menck, Menck-Frutiger and one or two other names, commonly called a scrape-dozer, it has a 7-8 cu, yd scraper bowl between the tracks and the blade on the front. In good conditions, it can take a full bowl plus about 5-6 cu. yds in front of the blade...

    McAninch pull type scrapers

    On Using Scrapers. Hi, $Maker. In case you hadn't noticed, those strange box-like thingies on wheels behind the D11's ARE scrapers. They just happen to be drawn or towed scrapers, which require a separate tractor to pull them and control them, instead of having the prime...

    Fashion Police. Hi, CMark. Yep, it's 'G'-bucks paying for it, $A4.2 billion worth of 'em on a 3 1/2 year design and construct job. Wanna bet that won't be blown out a bit by the end of the job? And, at 3 1/2 years, if I last till the end, I think this one might see me out. Too...
