By only in England, I assume you're telling me that is the only place gravity kicks people's ass? ?????


I've run small Caterpillar excavators. It takes a few tries to get the foot and hand controls no doubt.

I'm very impressed when I can watch someone grade dead on with the laser level's depths.

Good shit. Saved a lot of shoveling by hand.

What kind of machine/industry you running on for?

But seriosly, tractors are cool as shit aswell. I've driven a Ford, Case, John Deere, and a Masey Ferguson.

Heavy machinery is pretty dope man.

Sage, this one is for you:

Guy has skills.

I've operated Hydrema Dumpers, the biggest one being the 922c. Also a few excavators, Hitachi, Volvo, Takeuchi, the biggest being around.. 8 tonnes..? So small time.. Also a ton of front loaders, and whatchamacallit, steam rollers? Not on steam.. I Dunno what they are called in english. I am from Denmark you know.

Nice.....

While I think it's bunk to tear apart a dam... or try to with the war with a beaver's will to dam things.... I think that turned out better than I expected.

I'm not exactly zealous about the enviroment, but I think about it. These machines run on diesel, and they just gulp like i dunno what. I dunno if there's a theme. In my time absent I've developed a healthy admireation for this type of equipment..

Awe/boner comes close dude. 13,500 tonnes of power. Im a sucker for big machines, and the B288 is king.

It's hard to even find a photo that puts its scale into perspective properly.

Fossil fuels to do a days work in an hour...?
Or
Fossil fuels to run a tractor and the works that grows and delivers the food for a crew of hard working people to dig the same hole or the like...?

I support the workers, which means some days it's just easier and quicker to use the macheen.

Second question, for bonus points:

"What kind of big jobs?"

(REALLY is not an acceptable answer)
