This isn't a saftey issue in the same way that not ending up in the hospital before the day is over might be, but in the long term, I think this is the appropriate forum to discuss it.
Has this profession taken it's toll on you physically?
Obviously the younger you are, the less wear and tear you'll have experienced. Those of us with a few more miles on us will probably be able to give a whole laundry list of complaints.
I'm curious too, as to which type of equipment is hardest on the operator over the long haul. For example, I've never run a Pan, but I've watched them. It looks like it'd really tear you up. Hydraulic Excavators, in most applications, are pretty "operator friendly".
I'm not sure either, how many of my daily aches and pains are from all those hours in the operator's seat, as opposed to all those other hours I've spent laboring.
Anybody else feeling beat up?
