WAR.....what is it good for?

Burnout · May 15, 2010

Backfilling.... thats what its good for.

So we have started a new subdivision.... 340 lots, 2 crews and lots of iron. Here's my little dirt warzone.

I bet ya'll didn't know Mario Andretti drives a 966F in his spare time did ya?

Burnout · May 15, 2010

So we have buried the main lines... in one trench we have already put in water, storm and sanitary and then backfilled 1ft above the water. Now we're going around the subdivision and digging the services from the main lines to property lines. This is war for me. They dig 340 seperate little trenches with the 385's... and we backfill em all.

Myself in the 63...a Dynascrap packer and Deere 710G and sometimes the 430E

Burnout · May 15, 2010

The crackhoes... and Dynascraps working together. I say Dynascrap because we have been having issues with the packer that stays with me. The fuel pump took a dump on it so it died in the hole this morning where it sat for 3hrs.

War huh, Hopefully these will not be your last pictures...

PS tell the guy in the 330 to dig with the other end of the machine.

oriden · May 17, 2010

excav8r · May 17, 2010

what happened to all your youtube vids. i mean don\t get me wrong i love jeeps but i liked your vids

928G Boy · May 20, 2010

I'll be in Edmonton tomorrow, Burnout. If I wasn't in such a hurry to get on a damn aeroplane I'd have to swing by your jobsite to show you how it's done. LOL jk keep up the fine work.

I've been working up in Northern Alberta for the past couple weeks, but I'm getting shipped back up to Northern Manitoba because a couple guys on another crew quit... so I guess I better be making twice as much money since I'm getting sent there to replace both of them? LOL

928G Boy · May 20, 2010

oh yeah and what's with the guy in the 966F crusin around everywhere with the bucket way up in the air? I'm guessing he's either a Newfie or a crack head?

Why settle for just one or the other?

that's the very first thing I noticed too.. and I'm not exactly a veteran like some of the experts here either

I suspect in the next set of pics we may see that loader on its side or on its nose. well done that man!

Burnout · May 25, 2010

Actually he is a veteran loader operator. Is it by the book? No. Does he do it? Yes.

He has been running loader a long time, and he is one of the best I have seen. Its un orthodox but it works. It keeps dust from coming up in front of the cab and the loader rides a little better,

EarthwurmJurm · May 26, 2010

I stand corrected then.. I would like to see a vid of that if ya get a chance

Cat is ALL · Jun 13, 2010

I'll put everything I own saying it is wrong to travel with your bucket in the air simply to be dust from coming up in front of the cab and for a better ride. I know thats not you, but no way is it right. I would be pretty growly if that was someone on my site.

Nice pics though.

So would you be upset with a high drive dozer operator that travels around the site in R to avoid all the dust that gets thrown up when tracking forward in high gear?
