I visited the quarry last week to finalise the arrangements for the Chapter 2 working weekend.
The quarry team were busy preparing the demonstration area ready for the event.
In addition to the new fleet of new WA900's, HD785's & PC800's on display, I'm pleased to report that we will have a few of Merrman's Cat's in action: 385, 775's & D9R. As Merriman have won a 2 year contract to remove the overburden from the new quarry extension.
Also new this year, will be a landrover display area, which will alternate between the earthmoving displays every 30 minutes. Our antique Cat's will be able to operate continously, in our dedicated exhibition areas.
So far I'm expecting the following tractors from Chapter 2 members:

D8 2U
D6 9U
977 53A
D4D 63J & Box
D4C 24A
