Awesome pics! that hill looks very sketchy, especially if it's a warmer day. What is that concrete structure you are traveling through? It has a lot of jogs on the right hand side!

What can you register a tandem for out there?

I hear you on the wifey thing. Mine texts me about 20 times a day, usually wants to know what time I'll be home. I tell her its tough to text back most of the time.

I think if had to do it all over with the dump truck I might stay away from the overweight permit. Just register it for 54K and haul 14-15 ton, let the big tri-axle guys do the heavy hauling. that way you stay away from the 2290 tax, can cross posted bridges and dont get so much crap from DOT.

1 more of the loader

this loader i bought brand new in 99 and it sure works, always starts. is small enough we can plow snow with it. just big enough to work a decent sized dirt job, we have been at one forever. move about 3500 yards by now, only some export 40 loads.

I have been watching this thread since the beginning and love the pictures! My family and I have been going skiing at Snowmass since we were kids and believe it or not the condo might be next door to some of your pictures. I live in Fort Collins now at Colorado State doing Construction Management and hope to have a company like yours one day. Keep up the great pics!

 

[WColtharp]

Is that a wa180? My former employer had one and it ran like a champ till the day I left. It looked just like yours.

I have been following this thread Colorado, so keep the pics coming. It is interesting to see other contractors around the world working and coming from a warm climate, I would find it very hard to work in the cold conditions that you and a lot of others over there work in. There are a quite a few members here similar to me I think, they do a lot of reading, but are a bit slack when it comes to replying.

I am not surprised that you are happy with the Komatsu loader, we have three 380's and can not fault them. We purchased them secondhand from an outside source and I don't think the Komatsu dealer even knows who we are, because we hardly ever contact them.
