    What Model Is This Galion Grader?

    I think this one might have a switch, its all hydraulic, even the saddle lock, I thought it might need some elbow grease to get the pin out, but this has definitly got a hydraulic pin. I think it might be the non-descript toggle switch on top of the pedestal, coz I haven't found any other...

    Cat K series Motorgraders

    The K series is sort of a rerun of the H, but between the H and the K something went missing. Quality. The K series does not match up the H (can't speak for an M), but it really is not smooth on the shifting, the brakes are shoddy, I'm running a 20 year old galion that is better than a 5 month...

    What Model Is This Galion Grader?

    While we're on the topic of old galions, I have a quick question... How does one operate the saddle locking pin? The model I'm on is a T500D, loving the gradomatic crashbox, but i just can't figure out how to operate the saddle pin. Any help please guys?

    Rookie mover

    Elementary my dear Watson, but it takes some experience to teach us wannabes a thing or two! I really like that chain setup you've got there Birken Vogt, would have taken me a while to think about it like that!

    How do you operate a skidder?

    Interesting... It seems you do selective felling (terminology?) of natural forests (concept?), whereas down here we grow genii like pine, eucalyptus and acacia for our commercial timber needs; pine for saw-logs (mostly), eucs for pulp and paper, acacia for bark and timber (timber is crooked...

    uMngeni Water Pipeline

    Don't get bored now... The 1st pic doesn't just show trees. There's something beyond them... Tell me what is there... The next few show the 'jacking' that was performed some time ago, to allow the pipeline to go under the road without digging across it. They are now in the process of...

    I couldn't get any pics of the two Volvo TLB's or the EC210B, as they were working on the trenches, But I did my best to get as much of the equipment as possible.

    uMngeni Water Pipeline

    As promised, some pics of the going's on for the uMngeni water pipeline here in Pietermaritzburg.

    Some basic information about Excavator in China

    True, that pipeline got some huge pipes, but here in PMB along the old Howick road where they are working at the moment, they are using just a Doosan Solar225LCV and a VolvoEC210B... I'll see if I can't get you some pics of them
