I see the new fuel-efficient grader is out on field trials too Deas.

Hi, OZPHIL.
That 'test unit' has been out on 'trial' for 5 years or more now, must have some bugs that they haven't ironed out yet, maybe a little 'under-powered'.
Just my 0.02.
[quote="Deas Plant."]Hi, Folks.
Apparently, Cat is trialling a new 'powered wheelbarrow'.

Hi, Tad Wicks.
I could be wrong but I think a man with one of those could possibly beat the heck out of several wheelbarrows, especially if he had a similar sized shovel with which to load it.
That is one of the two main issues with building bigger trucks, having machines to load them economically, in 3 to 4 passes. The other big issue seems to be tires to carry the load.

Hey Deas, I guess it was a bit of an inside joke, buddy of mine had a D2 with a blade that he just fell in love with, but his running joke was the D2 with a blade was about as close as you could come to running a square point shovel with a Wisconsin engine mounted on the handle.😆😆😆 Tad

Yer kin hear an angry buzzin' sound and yer moving without movin' yer feet but yer gotta look DOWN to see what yer settin'on.
And then there's these jiggers - standin' room only:

Deas, one thing is for certain, all of them beat the heck out of using a pick and shovel:nod: Tad

"I also joined a year ago. had been on here a couple of times as a non-member and found the info very helpful so I got a one year subscription (not very expensive at all) to try it out. I really like all the resources on here so I just got a three year. I think its a very small price for what you can get out of this site."
