Oh yeah.... and the 375 broke down again this morning. The quick attach wouldn't lock so we couldn't put the bucket back on this morning. So I traded it in for something a little better.... a 312. Went and worked for some lady foreman.... she's HOT!

We need pictures now! And I ain't talkin' about the ho!:D

Yeah I didn't take any of those pictures. I figured that might seem a bit creepy. But I can give a description.... she's about 5'1, not too skinny, a nice front bumper, nice tailgate and a nice brown roof rack.

I had a nice conversation with her and the stick girl in the truck at lunch and started hitting on em. Then I was told that apparently my exploits of last season are known to them and that they have also heard my 3 rules of women I date. She denied me on one of those requirements.... but the really really fun one... she was in for. And what made it a bit worse for me....she caught me checkin her out big time. Go figure, she's bent over to prime the water pump and I just happened to be sitting in a way where I could watch.

And Corey...... you have a wife, what do you need pictures for?

I use to be with Thompson Brothers

Thought about going back out west, Headhunted by Sureway about 4 years ago. I worked for for Thompson Brothers for about 5 years. are they still on the go. I use to alway end up in the middle of nowhere. Aww the good old days, Rainbow Lake, Zama, High Prairie, Concland, Red Earth, :rolleyes: Can't figure out why I am not interested in going back.

Sorry for hi-jacking the tread, But have any of you tried the Lincoln rechargeable 14volt grease gun. I have one and its the best thing since sliced bread, Pumps 12 tubes of grease on full charge and I havent seen a manual gun that can keep up with it. Its kinda high, about $350 if I remember correct. BUT WORTH EVERY PENNY!

amen but don't let the mexicans get a hold of it. *sitting here wondering where the other half of the case of grease went* my truck seat?

Don't feel bad, I put my grease gun in the tool box oneday and somehow it bounced around and landed on the trigger pumping an entire tube of grease all over my tools and crap.

:eek:Whatta ya' mean?:beatsme I was referring to the 312.:D

I was talkin about the 312....I didn't want you to get in trouble buying more iron. You thought I meant girly pictures?...... I would never think or do such things.

You know that's right!:cool2

Around the home now a days, if I say I am thinking of buying a piece of yellow iron, it better have ERTL on the box.:D:rolleyes:

Seriously, how do you like the 312, of course considering it's size? I rented one several years ago, a B model and it was jumpy. I have 2 house demo's and some small site prep projects coming up and I need to rent a 312-315-160 size machine. Reason for that size hoe is I can move it myself. My 325D is still on a job down south for a few more months.

I am considering RPO'ing this machine so my initial choice is important, I may end up keeping it if the work is there. I owned a 315 a few years ago and it was a nice little machine, put 2K hours on it.

Nice photos burnout!

How'd that 120" bucket work out for you, or is that the reason the 375 went down? Got any photos?:notworthy

Well Corey... the 312 seemed like quite the weapon compared to that 375. She was a fast little unit, the hydraulics were nice on her, lots of grunt for what I was doing with it. I would say its a quality machine, but I think if you compared it to a 120 Deere the deere would be a little nicer. We only have 2 312's a B and C, the B is an absolute dog, but it's been rode hard and put away wet. I will have to get the pic of the unit I was running up.... you'll be amazed at how poor a condition it's in for only being 2 years old and having 4700hrs on her. This thing looks worse than the retarded 312B my old man bought a few years back. And I use that word literally on that one... she fell off a trailer and had computer problems among other things. But we got a 312B with 900hrs on it for 6000 dollars, put about 8 gallons of bondo in her, cleaned it up a bit and sold it for 40 000 a year later.

Well my 120" bucket is sitting on site right now, but the 375 is down again. Apparently someone went to move it on thursday morning and after that the mechanic noticed a big puddle under a final drive so she is gonna be sitting still for some time. Now they floated in one of the other operators and a PC400 to finish the job up, and I got sent to my new sewer and water crew.....
