LOL.... No wussing out here, Brad!! I was sore for a couple days, but I'm all good now. I was working out pretty hard back a few months, so the soreness was over pretty quick. Highly recommend the program!!
It is a good program,and it will kick your *** I mean butt(I know JL might be reading this).I was doing this with my wife and working overtime,there was no way I could do it and keep up with work.I was dead on my feet from the workout.Yes I know I wussed out.

your guns."

Only one CAT piece. A 236B skid. She's a beautiful machine though. Full cab, heat/AC, hydraulic quick tach, ride control, etc. and just a bit over 400 hours.

One Deere piece. A 490E.

The majority of our equipment is, unfortunately, Dresser.

4 Dresser machines. 2 530 loaders (3 yard loaders) a TD25G (73,000 lb dozer. Approx D8 equivalent) and a TD7H (D3 or D4 equivalent)

CAT is my preferred brand. Deere is a close second. If we're talking excavators then Hitachi and Deere are tied since they're the same. Maybe Hitachi would be a hair above Deere for the better fuel economy.

Nick: That is absolutely hillarious. That guy has WAY too much free time on his hands though.

They're driving a pink Volvo because if they were driving a pink Prius they wouldn't have any contestants left alive after the first hundred miles.

236B are sweet!ran one at my last job.

As far as excavators I like komat'su 350 or 400.There quick,smooth and good on fuel.Just not as tough as cat or Johndeer.

Good deal, Nick. Robotics are just cool. But I'm a tech-geek, what do I know?? LMAO!

On the '06, that is very close to what I want as my next truck. F350, check. 4x4, check. Low miles, check. But I want a King Ranch, if I can find one...

On another note, I just caught up on the last several pages... Good stuff.

Yea. We don't run equipment that large. We don't have the need for it.

Biggest machines we need are in the 70,000-80,000lb range.

We're working on trying to save up for a D6 in the future. It'll be like $125,000 for an 04 or 05 with 3,000 hours on it. We want one with a 6 way blade since it is easier to achieve a final grade with a 6 way than with a semi-U.

We're trying to get a job hauling material from the dredging of a town reservoir. If all goes as planned it could be a 1,000,000$ job.

I've got dad convinced that if we get it we will need to lease a new D6LGP since the material will be wet and sloppy.

Here's the kitty.
