Underdog Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 Took a long trip with Killer dragging dozer out on big giant large oversized ranch yesterday to repair a remote, and I mean REMOTE lake dam. I swear if im lying, Im dying, Killer left highway, turned into pasture, and i bet we went 5 miles over grass, opening and closing 46 gates, crossing small washes, scattering coyotes, etc. what a trip! randyp musta drove by 35 dried up ponds too.Sounds to me like one of them thar Gov't Stimulus make work projects.... Why you gotta repair the dam when there ain't no WATER ?!?Gregg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sides all that, i dont question paying customers, i just follow orders, and head for the bank with their money. Hopefully, drought will end. randyp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

other dog Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 He had directions from the rancher."....then ya turn left at the dead cow, pass 34 dried up ponds, at the 35th dried up pond turn left again, then yer gunna go straight fer a stretch 'til ya see a couple big coyotes under a tree, well you'll be wanting to shoot at them coyotes, but don't do it, their all that's keepin' the wild hogs at bay. Just after ya see them coyotes you turn left again and pass through 'bout 40 gates, then your gonna turn left again at the wash...". 1 Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999.

rhasler Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 Tom, Randy turned me on to that site, so I figger he was thinkin' 'bout buyin' it, but he must've decided it was too small for his needs. There's a lot of varmints in Texas. Quote "Mebbe I'm too ugly and stupid to give up!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 Komatsu actually makes the largest dozer in the world. It is a 24 cylinder behemoth working in New Zealand at a coal mine.
