Well, I haven't operated a lot of machines, but I have gone on a Bell L2306C, Cat Skidsteer, Cukurova 883 TLB, and a Cat Roller, not sure what model and a Terramite. I really wish I had more of an opportunity to operate them, but I've been driven in Merc Benz trucks, combine harvesters, TLBs, grader, tractors, most stuff we got here, but not really operated them.:mad:

A massive list Pretty much damn near everything under 45 tons in the construction category sold in the US in the last 15 years.

when times were booming i made a killing shuffling equipment around at night. With 3 hour minimum charge and most if not all trips under 45 miles and good ways around most scale houses there was a fair amount of money to be made.

my favorites were always scrapers and graders by CAT

My least favorite were anything involved in a paving spread!
