I was told about this forum a couple months ago and started reading it pretty regularly. I like what I see. The people here seem helpful and knowledgable.
I really enjoy looking at photos of other jobsites and equipment from all over the country and world. It seems there's a lot more ways to move dirt than just the way we do it here in Southern OR.

I don't have a lot of job pictures, but will put up some when I get a chance.

I say welcome to you, catskinner 10. And, once you guys have finished sussing out the forums, your comments are more than appreciated. But, I say: 'I say' so as not to get the p*** from the more senior members.

I have no idea what Bellboy meant in the post above. Maybe he could enlighten us.

But no, you haven't pissed anyone off. :)

Hi all,

I too have been lurking here for about 3 weeks, thought I better join in as I need some help with my skid loader. I am a Sports Lighting contractor in Texas. I go all over the Southwest US installing Lighting at baseball, football, soccer (etc.) fields. Been in business now for about 10 years.

I have a 2000 New Holland LX565 (bought used) and a 2001 New Holland TND-70D Tractor with a loader and a Bradco 3509 back hoe (bought new) that I use in my business.

I have already gotten a lot out of this forum, thanks for all your interesting and informative posts.

Tim
