I was hogging with this komatsu a while back. Put it's first shift on it, alright machine if you're a civil contractor, but if you actually want to get something done, not a machine I'd ever buy.

Big cat, I've run ones in different configurations that I liked, however this one either was always sinking or trying to fall over. One bucket and a dump truck was at legal weight.

I also get bored of my yard alot. And dig holes there or for my neighbors/cousins with this.

If I could have my choice I'd properly just spend most of my time on Cats. Theres just something about cutting a finish grade that a grader can come check and still find perfect.

Something new i've been doing.

doesnt russia have massive amounts of forrest? or am i dreaming that?

Yep, they supply more wood to china then we do or the same amount. The real sad thing is most of the forests are in places were it's too cold for forests to regenerate naturally, and no one replants..

is going big on a bike the only way to get you stoked on the sport? what happened to riding with your bros, travelling, and riding unique places, to get people stoked on riding?

fines are useless. there needs to be more punches to the throat.

up on the san juan ridge here trees are ancient. that makes me a little sad when they cut them down seeing how they take hundred of years to grow up there compared to further down. oh well.

If I ever had to run a machine for any period of time id run a volvo.

Ha Ha! Made you look.

australia was actually founded by criminals and its original purpose was for england to send over its criminals so the brits wouldnt have to deal with them in England, minding this was over 100 yrs ago.
