Hey Gang,

Got the crew headed to San Leandro Peterson this morning. They will load the Siamese Twin D8 as constructed. This afternoon it will be in the Peterson Shop located in Santa Rosa, Ca. It measures 13'-11" wide with the trunion balls installed.

Fantastic Glen. Make sure they take pictures of how it sits on the low boy. That is going to be one spectacular tractor when your team is done with it.

Hi, Glen.
Great stuff. I'm pleased that I took myself down to San Leandro to see it before I came home. Like Tom said, it is going to be one spectacular tractor when it's done. It's pretty impressive even now..

Just my 0.02.

You have a wonderful day. Best wishes. Deas Plant.

Hi, Glen.
Good stuff. Yep, you DO have two of the best there. It was a real pleasure to work with both of them before, during and after the show.

Just my 0.02.

You have a wonderful day. Best wishes. Deas Plant.

Hi Glen, looking at those drawbars, would operators ever have used them? Wondering if there was a unified drawbar offered?
As everyone else has written, looks awesome!

Cheers,

Hey Neil,

Duane Doyle had his staff fabricate a piece that ties both draw bars together and uses one pin to tow with. I want to pull two scrapers together in the future. Here is a picture. Only one draw bar was attached, but it will give you the idea.
