BrianHay · Mar 27, 2009

Owner?Operator, Operator, surveyor, engineer, municipal/government position, laborer, soils tester ....maybe sumthin else or just undecided/maybe someday (a fan of).

I was going to start a poll cuz I'm curious but I ether don't know how to do it or don't have permission too start polls on this site cuz I see nothin to click on to do it.

So no poll but post your replies anyways with your position....and better yet how you got it.

Farmer.........lots of work, for little money!!!

Squizzy246B · Mar 27, 2009

Brian, when you click on new thread in the options down the page is a box to tick for "yes, post a poll with this thread"...after that its so easy even a spider hoe operator could do it..

I'll see if I can set it up for you....after I cook dinner

Hi Brian, hope you being around doesnt mean your short of work

EZ TRBO · Mar 27, 2009

Dang you beat me to it Brian, was just thinking this the other day, well kinda along the same lines. I'm the earth moving and utility foreman for a large concrete and rock products company. I take care of all the quarry stripping, road building, land clearning, etc. I'm kinda a go to man for filling in as well. I can and will work in the crushing, do shop work, welding, driving truck, and pretty much anything else that needs to be done.

cps · Mar 27, 2009

I'm in the real dirty end of the dirt game!! I'm a Heavy equipment mechanic!! (Plant fitter). I run my own business doing service and repairs to a wide range of machinery, specializing in Line boring!

youngoperator · Mar 27, 2009

i'm in the forstry biz but not one of them fancy spider operators lol skidder operator and cutter

wrenchbender · Mar 27, 2009

I'm also in the down and dirty end of the bizz sorta like cps said, but I don't specialize in any type or brand! Just wrenching and welding or whatever puts the food on the table today!!

crane operator · Mar 27, 2009

Well I'm mostly a crane op, but somehow that always transforms into running anything around with keys and a engine. Also in equipment I think everyone becomes a mechanic, welder, hydraulic specialist, and electrician. If none of that fixes it, get a bigger hammer.

special tool · Mar 27, 2009

Owner operator.
Also....."big dummy"

Have been complimented once or twice too.

Red Bank · Mar 27, 2009

I am a mechanic for a utility company that does sewer work, mainly pipe bursting and slip lining, but I own my own dump truck company (1 truck!), have a 955K track loader, part owner in the family's horse farm, which all together can be summed up that I like to make money and I like to spend money!

cummins05 · Mar 27, 2009

I own a consulting company here in Alberta working for impy oil most of the time.

I also still own part of a mid sized earth moving company but am being slowly bought out by the new owners

ddigger, hey i have a 330L also. My suggestion to go with it would be a D5 size bulldozer. I bought one last fall, to bad the motor and torque convertor had to be rebuilt already. That stinks.

Owner-operator, 330L, D9G, 16G, 637C, and a D5H that should be out of the operating room in the next week or so.
The 16G is my main ride doing ag work, when it's dry enough and there aren't crops in the fields.
