Any operators here?
I grew up on a farm, so I'm familiar with most forms of the dirt diggers. I work in a factory now operating a 20-TON overhead crane. It has two hoists, each rated to lift 10-TONS and it's operated off a radio control box I wear on my belt. If it wasn't a job, it would be like the world's coolest RC toy!
Critter looks like this, except no operator cab:

I started operating yellow iron when I was 10yrs old. I ran finish grade crew for a EPA sub for 6 yrs. Ran the excavation crew for 3yrs. I spent 2yrs on a D10R high track at the lake Ft. Smith dam project. To many years operating a track hoe to count. I have ran every thing from the small bobcat termite hoes up to the Cat 375 hoe loading off road trucks. I had my own zone here in the county maintaining roads with a 12G cat Then I got a new JD 670C. Had about 100miles of road that were in my zone. Did that up till a year ago when I got burnt out on it so I now run the Right of way crew. We keep all the ditches mowed in the county. I Also co. owned and operated a 2000 acre farm with my dad up until about 8 yrs ago when he decided to retire so we sold it. Here are a few pics of what I do now.
