Glad to see you back posting pics. If you get bored you can come down and do a patio for me:D

How do you like your Case? That is a great idea using bedliner on the Bobcat bottom. It will be interesting to see how it holds up.

What size Case excavator is yours? I have a CX 130 like it real well. Just purchased a Caterpillar CR 305 getting rid of my New Holland backhoe. Only done a little clean up of some trees so far with the Cat, seems to be ok.

I guess the patio is a hit! The case is a good machine its a CX130 definitely a step up from our old PC 120 its smooth has decent power and speed and best of all a radio and ac. The work keeps coming and we keep going just wish I had a little more work for the case. I have 2 decent foundation digs coming up for another contractor in the next two months so that will be good.

That patio was nice but this one has always been my favorite that we constructed. All blue stone with stone walls and a 40' ****** going into a coy pond.

It's aluminum. Love the truck but I feel like I'm out growing it. I need a tandem and a zero turn 15 ton excavator but we all need what we don't have right.

That is a sharp little truck. Yeah you always need just one more machine or attachment until you get it then you need something else:(

That was a very nice patio. Its funny how we all want another machine and another job. I was just thinking about moving up from a 953 to a 963. After sitting on the 53 for 5 days, 50 dump truck loads later, stilling needing another 50 loads of dirt and now another builder ready for me to start another 500 k house 60 miles from my shop, with a full basement and site needed to be cleared. My wife telling me not to go and not to do it that it takes too much away from the family. Anyway nice machines It seems like that truck is loaded up pretty good with them.

One of the guys I bought my 53 from used a single axle truck to move it around. Said he did it when no one was watching :). I keep wondering if it I could get away with moving a 320 with my tandem...

Running what I brung and taking what I win
I've moved a 321CLR on my tandem tag with a tandem pulling. I sincerely made a deal with Lord about 1/2 through that if I could just make it 2 miles to the destination I would NEVER, EVER do it again. Made it safe - I have and will for the rest of my life, uphold my end of the bargain.:cool:

Now with a tri-axle tag trailer behind a tai-axle dump - maybe? Those 2 extra axles make a world of difference in carrying and stopping.
