some link belt action

Digger- No the chains are not the "pewag" brand but are similar. They run about $650.00 for a pair.

Dgodgr-Yes, I know Ron, buy all my teeth and edges from him. I have always used DM wire and rope or "delta" for chains and slings. It has been impossible to get what I want. I think I am just going to run "h" pattern and see how that does.

We pay $75.00 per load to the local landfill that is already a ripoff.

That's what I thought as $75 per load to haul it seemed way too low. Wow, $75 a load to dump a load of frozen water, wish I had a landfill in Aspen.

Not a bad day here in Colorado, actually unbelievable.

Hope no one charged you admission for that great view...

How much frost are you finding?

 

[Colorado Digger]

The frost is about 3' thick. It all depends, in areas that have not been impacted and have snow you will find very little, maybe 8" to 1'. Underneath a dirt road that we have been driving on all winter it will be thick. The temps. have come way up in the last 3 weeks so the frost is coming out of the ground quickly. 2 weeks ago I had 2 feet of snow in my yard and now it is gone.

Its really freaking cold here right now, everyone is ready for spring. Hopefully by the end of the month!

 

[Colorado Digger]

It was 64 here on Wednesday, and has been in the 50's most of the time. A small front came through and it cooled down a little bit, but nothing major.

The Midwest where I live has had lots of water and sewer lines frozen this winter. Many more than normal with frost at 42" or more in lots of places, the last I heard. Lots of cold weather and lots of snow with hardly any weather above freezing all winter long.

I am not missing it at all since I am in Florida with the 70's and 80's weather.

Here is this debris flow structure we have been backfilling. it has been a real pain but the guys are doing a great job. the t650 is a loaner until I get the new t770. it is just being built to my spec's up in North Dakota.:usa

Looking good bud! Hows your weather? Looks like we are going to be seeing some warmer weather by the end of the week! You will love the track skid!

 

[CM1995]

Good looking job as usual. What are the spec's on the T770? I am considering a new CTL purchase.

 

[Colorado Digger]

Thanks guys! The weather is typical rocky mountain spring.. one day 60 degrees and sunny and the next, blowing and snowing. We are having trouble on another job getting some footers to pass compaction. It is in clay and the weather isn't letting us do our thing. I think we are going to over ex. everything 2' and try pounding 2' of pit run back in.
The t770 is coming fully loaded with joystick controls and high flow. I think it is the a91 package but would have to check with my dealer. I also have an e55 on the way. Hopefully, we will see it next Monday.
I'll let you guys know how the fishing is down in Mexico, headed down the 27th through the 1st. It is mostly jigging for yellowtail at the moment but the pelagics are moving in.

p.s they sure are proud of the Bobcat Ctl's...I have bought a 210 for less.

 

[CM1995]

Have fun fishing! Yellowtail is good eating.

I hear ya' on that. The cost of new equipment is ridiculous.

"Have fun fishing! Yellowtail is good eating I hear ya' on that. The cost of new equipment is ridiculous."

The cost of used is even worse. my dealer found a LB 135, no push blade, plain jane 5000 hours and he was asking for 50k out of it.

Great thread! I started going backwards from this page...got to page 36...then started at the beginning and got to page 15. My wife's like...what are you so interested in?

Funny...I had a photo of some guys fueling off of a Ford flatbed on my computer, but didn't know where it came from. After reading your thread I remembered that the truck had a Terrascape logo on it.

Headed for the sack. Looking forward to more posts!

Thanks for the comments, I have noticed quite a few of the photos off this thread get poached and end up on the net. I guess by posting pictures you have to accept that they will be public knowledge.

I know what you are saying!!! I've posted many pics and videos of our New Holland TV 145 bi directional tractor with the Pronovost Pxpl snowblower and like you, they are all over net now....
Could be worse though, for you it's construction equipment pics and us snow removal. Imaging other peoples problems from posting the wrong type of pictures!
Thanks for posting, I enjoy following the thread.
