it is a jarraff industries line clearing machine--they are so cool to operate, but you sure get one hell of a knot in youre neck. 4 hours is the longest i have ever been able to spend in one.

Dozerboy did you like running the terex hoe? I've been curious about them for quite sometime. I know for the larger ones cat recommends them now that the 5100 series is dead, just curious about the smaller ones. Small is kinda a funny word to use with 45 ton hoe but i guess its all relative.

 

[Dozerboy]

It was ok they use the same manufacture as the orange Daewoo. But I didn't really spend enough time on it to give a good review.

 

[Dozerboy]

These are old just getting caught up since I have time on my hands
First:Our underground guys screwing me over by opening up trenches all around the pad I'm building up.

Second: Putting in the the last of the Storm

Third: One of the several old tractors abandoned on those site. It was a Allis Chalmers IIRC, but I forgot the model.

Forth: Oops thats why you don't just reTQ the bolts on the master link. A few days later the planetaries blew out of this dozer.

Fifth:Oops you lost something there. The bolts that hole the wheel spacer broke. He was going down the 2:1 slope when the tire passed him he ended up running it over with the tractor and the pan. A few days later we cut us a road in and out of the ditch.

 

[Dozerboy]

First: Helping out the dozer hand finish up the ditch part of the pond.

Second: I had to do the toe.

Third:I milked the hoe work as long as I could. I became the Double Pan Man since we did have any more jobs. We run mostly Case 480HD and Ktec pans other then the double and one 450HD and 430HD

Forth: Not clear there put they made mud out of the haul road and we where slinging mud balls bigger then soft balls off our tires.

Fifth: 430 pulling out of the ditch

 

[Dozerboy]

First: The ponds 2/3s done the JD850 finishing and 330 cleaning up the back side of the damn.

Second: The other chew here "helping" us finish.

Third: Had a little time to kill so I was going to write another hands name in the grass with my pan as a joke to get him in trouble.

Forth:Sunrise the school going up. We have some of the best sunrises/sets IMO.

Fifth: Why you don't go 22.5MPH on a rough a$$ haul road. If the bushing hadn't gone out when it did that could of been ugly.

Well thats it hopefully soon we will have some more work so I can take some more pics.

Awesome pics, John. Keep 'em coming man.

 

[BobCatMan]

Great pics but I hate MUD LOL

 

[Dozerboy]

Mud is my middle name I think now. I just about only run track iron and even if I'm only just need it for 10 min the tracks will be packed full of mud. There are finely getting the other hands to help me clean the tracks. To fully clean them it can take up to 5 hrs. daily we just do the rollers good and that can take 1/2hr-1hr.

I was off for 3 weeks we did a small job and now have a bigger job. Its been slow we're not always getting our 40 and he low balled this job $100/$150K so we won't be doing any overtime.
Small Job
First: 480 in the cut we had a 4' remove and recompack.

Second: 480 and JD700 in the cut

Third:There was my job chase out all the pipe and concrete in the cut. Boy there was a lot.

Forth: Nice smooth cutointhead

Fifth:Starting the fill off the stock pile.

 

[Dozerboy]

First/Second: 480 and 700 in the fill me casting dirt off the stock pile for the 700 to place

Third: My 330 and a buried road we found after I piled it up

Forth: Some of my rubble pipes the general did the hauling I just loaded them. It was all hauled off on 30yd dumpsters at the most I would do 3 loads a day. Don't ask me the general was paying for my time the rest of the time I napped.

Fifth: Ran out of dirt started to import.

 

[Dozerboy]

First: Now we're getting somewhere.

Second: On this guys first load he yelled out the window his clutch wasn't working in half spanish and he couldn't stop. Then got stuck we left him there for a while. After we got him out and dumped he comes back with another load gets stuck again. We leave him there even longer. We weren't really doing to be mean we where just busy. Well we get him out and them he decides instead of going straight out of the fill and coming back around to dump. He is just going to come back around on one of our finished pads and decided to drive though the only wet spot with standing water. He is there for 15mins spinning his tires and eventually crawls his way out. He dumps and we wouldn't sign his ticket. He goes to the general and wines. That don't do any good, so he sits there all day. He gave his ticket to a few other drivers. They tell us "Oh you forgot to sign my ticket last round". We tell them BS and if that was that case that is you problem. Driver here give us a ticket every load and they like to try this trick so they get paid for more loads then they did. They do it on every job too I'm even had them try to add on 2 hrs. of drive time for getting to and from the job. Fing cheats

 

[Dozerboy]

Need to get current with my pics.

Did some clearing and had a bit of the dirt work on this job didn't have the pond though.

This is the other clearing contractor. Never seen them use blowers in a burn pit in person before. Thats a neat wagon they got there...

 

[D5G]

you would have to think using a regular artic would be easier, no? Its a cool idea but it seems like a waste to me. Great pics, keep em commin!

 

[Dozerboy]

First: This job was a swamp when we started every body was getting stuck even I did on the loader. JD 750 pulling and a KS 51 pushing out one of our 480s and a pan.

Second: JD850 pushing pans. We tore up our 6 ways pushing pan on this job our blades ain't reinforced to be pushing.

Third and Fourth: some friend I found cleaning that snapper wasn't happy he tired to get a piece of the hoe several times. I was just trying to get him to get out of the area.

Fifth: Our root rake on the loader it was to wet really got a lot of dirt in with the roots.

 

[Dozerboy]

First: Raking with our JD 544 loader

Second: Time of busy work since this is our only job. Picking roots out of the dirt from the rake. Yes I'm that good...:notworthy

Third: More of the same it took 2 weeks to do everything.

Forth: Same again but my hoe was down, so I did'er with the loader buck/rake.

Fifth: Play this cool game dozer baseball I lost couldn't find any stakes to kill.ointhead

Got more just need to upload them later.

Great pics Dozer Boy!

Good eye they have been kind of pissy with our weather lately.

 

[Dozerboy]

First: The clearing guys dozer nice. With all the clean we do I have no idea why we don't have a dozer with a rake and guards. Instead of just telling me to not break out a window A window got broken out of my hoe on the current clearning job I'm on I'll get to the pics latter.

Second: Don't see many scrapers around here its too soft let alone a old 613 waterpull. Take a long time to fill that thing up out of a hydrant. It take us 30mins just to do our tri-axle water truck.

Third: Here comes the pipe. Underground guys out here are nuts I don't think all 4 tires of there loader are ever on the ground at the sometime unless it parked. There is something wrong when a loader is passing our pans.

Forth: The underground guys with a load of stabilized sand getting dumped.

Fifth: The guys doing the pond. I wish we ran JDs to pull our pans
