    Most recent addition to the fleet 345CL ME

    I know we (LANE) were working on the I-95/I-495 interchange, not sure if that is all finished or what. We just got phase VIII of it (they call it the Springfield interchange) and that's about to start this spring. Wish we had an all CAT fleet, but our JD Dozers work really well compared to...

    Deere 1050J pictures

    nice machine, i would take one any day over a cat. i'm sure the hydrostat is a little more maintenance intensive, but the productivity gains make up for it and the price/warranty package is a bit better.

    Volume question

    Oh you guys are out of Emporium. I love that area, do a lot of fishing and bear hunting up along Sinnemahoning. I know a guy who used to be number 2 at Clearwater when they were under another name, we didn't get along, I worked with him at PJDick/Trumbull, he was pretty cocky. If you ever...

    Volume question

    Reuben: Nah, the company I work for only does transportation, just was wondering, figured only mining companies or heavy/highway guys would have the iron available to do a big reclamation job.

    Komatsu Dozers in England

    ran a d65 a little this past summer, i liked it, but it loved to overheat. almost brand new and the thing was overheating all the time. real nice to operate, felt really stable and powerful, i'd say it gives the d6r a run for its money

    Bridge Building/Concrete Work

    Oh wow, 15, you're sure gonna have some knowledge some day. You going to go to college or join a union or what? I was busy screwing off when I was 15. Piles can be done many ways. Bridge work most always has h-piles, whether they're driven or drilled. Sometimes they'll drill (auger drill...

    Coal Mine Overburden Stripping

    I knew of a lot of work going on in Kentucky that was contracted. I know of one smaller stripping company that was stripping 30-50 acre tracts so fast they couldn't stop to reclaim, so they had contracted work for the reclaiming their mines. It seemed like it was a supply/demand thing, when...

    California big dirt scraper operators

    KBR no longer is tied to any oil companies, they're a contractor much like fluor or bechtel. i can't believe the stuff that goes on in California, here in PA we're lucky to see a highway job with a 385 and a D8T doing the cut/fill, grading isn't even a vocab term used in construction here...

    Bridge Building/Concrete Work

    are you referring to h-piles when you say steel beams into the ground? there are stringent requirements for bridge work, it's not just like moving dirt. the deck pour has to be carefully planned and isn't like pouring a slab on grade. even the smallest bridge is a highly engineered structure...
