I,m making a site for a feed pad on a dairy farm. After stripping back topsoil and mucking around I'm now down to aprox 2 minutes per load, gotta love the short cart!

Yeah I have owned up to 6 of them at once all 613A models we use them on our own farms to build tracks, fit a laser to do building sites, clean up muddy cow races stuff like that, you can pick them up so cheap compared to getting a contractor in and then its always there when you need it.

They are great machines i prefer to use our 613a instead of our 613b, there is just something about them, unless if it is a 100 degree day then i will let her sit and jump on the 613b.

Another scraper, another job.

This is the scraper I have been getting acquainted with this week #588, doesn't look much but besides the paint it's actually quite tidy the old beast.

Been doing a house site and cleaning up some tracks on this guys farm.

I used to do a lot of that sort of work up around Tauranga and Matamata before I moved over to Oz. TD 15C & IH 412 and D6D & 613B, was good straight forward dirt moving mostly done by the eye ometry, no plans etc basic seat of the pants stuff. Some where on HEF are some pics of a couple of jobs I did way back then. Cheers RDG.
