I love those mini trucks. There’s a couple running around here.
Would be fun to have one but, dang, the price!

There's a old small Cat grader coming up for auction here, smaller than a 12.
I'm sure I'll be modifying it after the first snow & bend a few things up. Made up a 2" receiver to the "frame" so if it starts a wiggling there I should feel it in the seat
$5k delivered to my place here, no way was I going to spend $18k+ on a UTV. Loading it up with cans tomorrow and going to the waste transfer- the little mini uses less fuel 15 mile round trip than the Superduty does starting.

I am on a gravel road for about 2 more years, and then it is city and pavement. I should not even ask, but it is how I am wired
@crane operator I told you I'd get pics when they showed up again.
Different outfit, 2 cranes now not one big mamma. the other one showed up between when I went down and came back- just in front of the white pickup in the last 2 pics can't really see it 4 axle AT.
The first prestressed section is sitting down the road- it's BIG, but short, sitting on a 4 axle truck & 3+3+3. Didn't get a pic of that, sorry.

Thanks crummy, looks like about a 180 ton demag. Glad he gets to set on those little plastic pads. They are nice to move around, but they don't give you a lot of support.
Going to drive the new bridge beam onto the new section of bridge, and just have a smaller crane on each side. The first time around they probably couldn't get anything across so had to make the full pick from one side/ one crane.

yes some steel sheets or crane mats actually do something.

Bad crane mats were what destroyed a Grove I had to cut the mast away on. That and arrogant Line Crewmen.
The Super Duty decided to not start, acted like the GPR wasn't working so I swapped out the one from the service truck to see- that was it. I got 200a units- might as well replace both. What a difference. The first thing I would do if I got another 7.3L is replace the GPR. White Rodgers 586-902
Got a "Help!" call yesterday.
Big pulley off the crusher. It moved and then stopped!!!! Now it won't budge!!!!
2 20 ton jacks held up with Mule tape, 3 people working out of the bucket of the 980, chained up to the 315.
"It's not moving"
It will
It did
