    Grouser OTT Tracks

    I ran a set of loegering trail blazers on my s-175. Absolutely a must have in your bag of tricks. I got myself into trouble a couple of times when I had to go get my tracks and drag them over a hill side to get my self back out. Having the tracks allowed me to take on projects I would...

    Auger advice

    Hi Joe, JUST ADD WATER ! On getting that loose stuff out of the bottom, just add water. Usually not a problem with the clay we have around here. I did a pole building last fall and it was loose stuff. I asked the customer if his garden hose would reach out to the site. He got it out...

    Tax time

    Hi Joe, I always did my own till I start owning equipment to depreciate. My CPA has been in business a long time, and is really good. She knows how to squeeze the TAX code for every penny. She is not cheap, but worth the price not to throw any flags down at the IRS. I am hustling to get...

    Landslide

    Joe, I'll join you with my little 1-ton and S-175 :) All that blasting they did back in April. That's nothing but shale over there, and now it's like sand ! It's all going to come down. Now they are saying weeks to clear and my wife is livid. She has to travel that route quite often...

    Largest dragline left may become a park centerpiece

    Cool ! See that massive extension cord on the Silver Spade ? I'll have to check out that Brownsville Show. For many years, I have had a standing date where I would meet up with my father at the Pioneer Steam & Gas Engine show up in Crawford County (Meadville)...

    Need help with Heavy equipment training

    Hi Rui ! Getting training on an excavator is hopefully more then just learning the controls. I hope they teach a lot more, like safety, proper trenching, benching, locating, etc... So when you finally get on a machine, you need to learn the feel of that machine, but you will know enough to...

    I try to stay out of the North Hills area. Robinson Twp guys leave us alone, I did have Moon Twp stop me once just to look me over. Ohio Twp stopped me on Neville Island and harrased me. Asking me where I was working. Where I was dumping my debris. How long I was going to be running back...

    Advertising Your Business

    Right now my only steady ad is the weekly in the local 12 zones of the "PennySaver". As my primary ad, it pays off. As Squizzy246B mentioned, I get tons of tire kickers. I always take the opportunity to run spots in the local school programs and sports boosters. I did the Yellow pages for...

    work pics

    The site is starting to come around. I have to install drainage for the foot of the hill, and cut some diversion trenches up top. Then I'll run a power rake over it all to finish it. For someone killing time, all the photos are here. more photos
