Very impressive line up of equipment! Especially love all the nice wheel loaders! If you ever wanna get rid of that 980G let me know.

 

[D&GExcavating]

Thank you! That's not even all of it yet. There's still a couple old 950s, another 950g, and some 624Hs and then a bunch of other stuff. I don't think we'll ever get rid of that 980G, it's one of the nicest I've ever seen. It seems like they are all beat to hell if you're looking for one. Ours has 12,000 hours on it right now

Very nice, would like to see the rest. Trust me, I know about the 980G, we are looking to buy a couple this year and they all look good on the internet, but when you go out to see them, they have little things they forgot to mention that are wrong! What part of MN do you guys do your business?

 

[D&GExcavating]

Yeah it's ridiculous with some of them and the shape they're in. We're in southwest Minnesota. You know where Marshall is? Where are you located?

 

[Boss]

Can't say I've been through Marshall, but I know you're pretty far down there. We are about 50 miles north of Duluth, right in the middle of all the taconite mines.

 

[D&GExcavating]

Oh okay, yeah we're way down here. So are you into the mining or dirt work?

 

[Boss]

Mostly just involved with the taconite, crushing and screening, would eventually like to start a dirt work division though, lots of competition around here.

 

[D&GExcavating]

I see. Well there's probably 6 or so substantial companies around here including ourselves, but 2 of those mainly do road construction

This is a quick video I took of our Cat 3406B generator starting up. We use it for our JCI screening plant.

How long have you been in business? Lots of work lined up this year?

 

[D&GExcavating]

My grandpa started the company in 1979 and then my dad took over in 2008. Then hopefully I'll be next in line. We did have quite a bit lined up but with the mild winter we've been burning through it all because everyone wants it done. What about you?

 

[OldandWorn]

Nice equipment man! Someone knows how to run a successful business during hard times.

Thank you, my dad said he appreciates it! The last 5 years have been very trying on my parents. (I don't have anything to do with management yet)

Thanks for posting your pictures. It's great to see equipment that has been taken care of instead of being run into the ground or the scrap heap.
The hours that you have on your equipment shows that if you buy quality equipment you can get the hours out of it by taking care of it.
Keep the pictures and the stories coming about your operation.
