Cat Training Boost For Africa.

Hi, Folks.
I found this item in my wanderings around dark corners of the 'net tonight and thought it might give some insight into Cat's future plans.

And an update on the 14M3 grader.

Enjoy.

Just my 0.02.

Speaking of Africa, Marlin Perkins from Mutual of Omaha went on quite an adventure.

I remain totally amazed how those mid-west graders with tires mounted incorrectly on the steering axle, make their way into other parts of the country, in this case the world! (😊

As I watched, I thought if filmed now, an articulated front end loader would make a much better platform for chasing the hippos. The whole crew could in be in the bucket and above it all!

Also, the helo, jeep and grader were scaring the crap out of those herds. I doubt that would fly with the tree hugger bunch in modern times. I can just see the uproar that would be raised.
