Hi, Folks.
I can't help the feeling that these 2 push cat operators might have snuck out the back and practiced a bit before this clip was filmed.



Just my 0.02.

I tapped four DW21’s and two hydraulic pans with a D9G in Georgia in 1972. Obviously, I did not have the machines nor the skill of these operators! Last tap was in Santa Margarita on Peter Bloom’s tractors a few years ago. Done! Retired! Unless someone offers me a D10-11!!!

Hi, crookedwrench.
I 'ackshully' preferred the 8Hs and the 9Gs over the 8Ks and the 9Hs and even the "L" series machines 'coz they had smoother, more controllable steering. I learned to pick up a STOPPED scraper with the older 8s and 9s in 2nd gear full noise and NO bump. The next later machine that I could do that with was a 9N. Then they went diff steer and they don't turn fast enough to be able to do that.

I'm not sure yet whether I'm retired or retarded 'coz I'd still like to do a bit once inna while.
