    MF 50E, what is this?

    It just sucks when you have 3 ft drifts of snow in your driveway and some stupid stuff like this happens to your tractor, then you get stuck in your driveway on the way to get your daughter unstuck. On the bright side, it wasn't anything major to fix. $35 for the switch.

    Anyone running blade in a mine?

    Motorgrader, interesting stuff just when I thought I've seen or heard it all with the blade. Got any pics of them? Not true in my instance. In the past in my mine, roads have went in with little regard for drainage. Where ever water collected they just dug a sump next to the road. We now...

    Anyone running blade in a mine?

    That post wasn't impatience but rather an after thought. Funny how big those trucks are and you can still miss seeing one.
