These are old dinosaurs, nobody wants them any more. But yeah, there is some money there. Cost 700.00 just to change the tire on the loader last week (just the changing part, we used our own spare)

Kind of an open pit mine, the crystals are in holes in the dolomitic limestone.

Interesting..you have a geology background?

[herkhorse]

Took some geology in college.

How do you know so much about big toys?

[Mortimer]

I was in construction. We did specialty work ;chemical and cement pressure grouting for cut off curtains and soil stabilization as well as lifting settled things. Did bentonite slurry walls ,too.Was always around the big stuff doing what we did.

We also did erosion control work using 4x8 limestone in gabions...which were loaded a lot by Gradealls.



And I spread dolomite for better soil health.
