Ladies and gents, I believe it's time to update my photos.
-Deere 350 that our farmer neighbor is using to clear out the rest of his field.
-one of their three 8450's sitting on the edge of the field with a plow, same day. My Kawi is sitting in front of it for perspective.
-Look who was working a few days later...
-Manafort's 330, Cat backhoe and the rear end of a Michigan sitting on the Rt. 72 extension.
-Same day as the Testa visit (workign behind the building facade in the left background), this Manitowoc was working on the St. Francis hospital addition.

Hartford...now time for more pics!
-The Case and the Deere belong to the Cape Cod Central/Bay Colony Railroads and are stored at the Yarmouth Wye shops on the Cape.
-I just had to get that Autocar...
-This Western Star and 966 belong to Hartwell & Sons of Acton, MA, although these machines are working in Taunton.
-Don't know the size of the excavators or the skid, just know that's a D5 in the middle.

-The next couple are from one of the neighboring houses being built on our subdivision. and belong to Bergeron Excavating. The dozer looked like a Cat D5-sized machine from a distance, but when I got closer, it bore a strange new number: TD-12. Never heard of it. :beatsme
-At least I've heard of a 312.
-And now, my office when I'm in class. Well, I mean I went in one day to help out a bit, so I got to drive my baby, the 870 loader, for a while aerating the fields.
-The elder 870 running with an overseeder. Everyone likes to pop it in a high gear and pull a wheelie, but I frown upon it.
-Meanwhile, work continues down the street. They've eliminated the cul-de-sac, extended the lawns and driveways to the new road, and are putting in sidewalk with one of the loaders and EC160. I'd imagine they'll get to paving later this week or next.

-The next two are from Stamford Wrecking taking down the old Cheney Tech shops. This one's a 311, and the next is a 330. they also had the 973 and another excavator.
-If you look hard enough, you can find equipment anywhere. Here's a boatlift at a marina in Clinton, where we are apparently the new owners of a sailboat...
-Same marina, couldn't find a manufacturer on this one.
-I'm a Ford man, so I had to snap one of this over at Ali's Nursery.
I've got some more, but I gotta start a new thread for them.

Hi Koehringman, I will mark those on my calendar. I saw your machine work at the National Convention there two years back, I must say it ran very smoothly for the short time I was there. :notworthy

Yeah, Just got it there the May prior to the show. It was more brown than orange then, & she needed some repairs. One of those being the bucket cylinder which had a blown rod seal. Show came before I could really fix it. For the amount of oil it leaked it was an hour on Saturday and another on Sunday morning. Too bad you missed the Zagray summer show! This year , I was loading trucks & people were trying it out. It's great having a 33 ton Tonka!
I have a 466D it right now is off rte. 149 Westchester rd. in Colchester.
P.S. The next H.C.E.A. convention is August 2010! Go to nerockbusters.weebly.com

I didn't notice any problems it had at the show. It just kept on digging while I was there!
Dad and I have already made plans to be at the National Convention too. It's nice to have it back in New England.
The Farigrounds will surely be a great place to have it...plenty of space!

Hey, Cat 980. Come up to Ct. for one of the shows. Dates are listed a few blocks above. I'll let you run the Koehring. We have other operating machines here and a sawmill too.
