I used to hate rain until I worked a job in Whittier one fall. It snowed over 10' on us. We shoveled our barge off probably 30 times. Now I like the rain. Its a beautiful thing. It shovels itself.
Heres your picture.

The tractor is a low hour 1981 that was in Kuwait helping put out Sadams oil fires in the early 90's. I bought it 4 years ago in Washington state. It has a 8S dozer that is like new, clean original face never plated. Had to put a track recoil spring on one side and just put a set of Berco bottom rollers in the 3000 + hours I've run it. The scraper is about 1958 or 9 Cat 463 cable operated I drug out of the weeds near Stockton Ca. I bought a new conversion kit and changed it over to hydraulic. Thanks for the kind words. DP

Yaa nothing like that ever happens to me.
One of my Crane Operators and I have really nice Leathermans with Lincoln Logos on them from an embarrassed Lincoln Rep at Con Expo in Vegas. We stopped at their booth and he started telling us all about his relatives in Arkansas and how he'd been there, after he went on for about 5 minutes he asked where Kodiak was. I told him I thought it was about 5000 miles from his relatives house.
ointhead He turned red, went to his briefcase and got them and asked if he could swipe our cards. We got a pretty good snicker out of it.

DPete,
Have you used that in sand at all? If so how does it work. Im stock piling sand out of the Kings River and a self propelled won't make it. I know a staight pan without a dolly works but it seems as if the dolly wheels would just drag through the sand.
Thanks
Ryan

Pure sand is hard for any machine if it's dry. I can laod about 3/4 as with any open bowl it wants to go around rather than in the scraper. Push load with another D8 sometimes. No trouble getting around with the load though. Have loaded over the top with an excavator. Bulldoze sand where distance permits. DP
