Man, was it ever dusty after 4 days of running up and down the same trail hauling the excavated dirt out and then taking rocks down to the work area. It looked like a dust storm at times..........

Same here - combine dust when harvesting, grain dust when shipping grain.
I used to haul gravel - thats dusty!
I worked underground in a potash mine as a mining machine operator - thats dusty!
A friend of mine farms 20000 acres and has 6 big 8010 combines running and 6 semis hauling grain - we call his performance 'operation desert storm' when he moves in - imagine the dust on an evening when the wind dies down!

This is gravel dust, the trail is made of super fine crusher dust and after 300-400 Bobcat trips over this stuff I know exactly what crusher dust means.....

Masks suck, and are annoying, but the annoyance is always worth the extra added health ya get from it!

I used to not wear a mask when dealing with cement dust either, but thought better of that and always use a mask now.
