    Take your kid to work

    I like reading stories and seeing the pics of kids working with their parents and learning what their parents do and some being able to do things most their age can't. Gives me some hope for the future that there will still be working folks.

    Come on Spring

    It's just got finished raining all night here, Its been 70's during the day and 50's at night, not bad weather. It never got terribly cold, I think 3 weeks of heavy jackets. I'm just glad we didn't get snow like last year. I kind of like the cold weather, no grass to cut and no misquotes, also...

    Here's a sure way to kill your career

    Sad to see these things happen to people who didn't deserve them, also sad to see a person that wants to work but can't find it. Nowadays pretty much anything government related is trash, people that need help can't get it, but the ones that don't need it can get it really easy for some reason...

    BC logging equipment left to rust

    I have all ways hated see machines rot away like that. Some of them look like they could work after you replaced the hoses, oil, filters, and maybe a seal or two.

    Glad I live in the south we only get snow about once every 7 years, sometimes a little more often than that. I also stay home when it snows because people can't drive when the weather is good so i know they can't when its bad

    Why track loaders?

    My dad has a old John Deere 555A with a clam shell bucket (don't know if it is considered a 4in1) that was bought by his boss many years ago. They used it for a lot of things like clearing and digging basements and ponds. We used it to move some debris around a few years ago. We haven't used it...

    VMAC Multi-function Power System And Vanair Air-N-Arc

    I hope this in the right section if not please move. I was looking at a thread somewhere and come across the Vmac system. It seems to be similar to the Vanair air n arc. Both seem to be very useful and would be lighter than having the different things (Welder,air compressor) separate. It would...

    Rest In Peace Burt

    A lot of my child hood was spent watching smokey and the bandit 1 and 2 I didn't like the 3rd. I like the w9 and the general they used from 1 and 2. Kind of like the pete Jerry drove in the 3rd. My love for for semis came from watching smokey and the bandit.

    John Deere 160C LC Available With Dozer Blade?

    That looks a lot like the blade on that machine probably is. But I don't need the hydraulic swivel. This route is cheaper than a new machine though. Thanks for the help

    John Deere 160C LC Available With Dozer Blade?

    I was looking at the specs for a 160c on Richie Specs and the images it has for the machine show it with a dozer blade. I then read a brochure for the 120c and 160c and it said the 120c only come with the blade. So did the 160c actually come with the blade? Link to Richie Specs...
