    Spent a couple of months on a 30 tonner with a similar head to that one a few years ago, doing railways and catchement board stuff. Forever fixing the bastard, I was glad to get back on the dozer.
    For a man is a slave to whatever has mastered him. Keep an open mind, just dont let your brains fall out.

    I really like pushing in tracks in steep country with the dozer, or hauling logs. But I am over pulling in pipe for dairy farmers, fuck it is getting really boring. May have to bring my TD9 back from the coast and get back into a bit of hill clearing.

    Diff has gone once, transmission twice. Last time was on this hill in behind roxburgh. Joystick are a good machine when running right, but a pain in the arse when things go wrong.

    Ha, yup. I may only be aspiring to manliness but I don't buy into "she'll be right" & "chicks dig scars". I don't do nuthin risky until I learn the correct way to do it.
