These new front loading lowboy trailers have made loading big heavy equipment so much easier and safer with slick conditions.

One of these days there will be a knock on your door. When you open you will find a nice looking gentleman who, with a heavy Swedish accent and a no nonsense manner will simply say "Give me all of your Volvo tee shirts and caps you Cat driving, Hitachi owning, Yanmar loving, John Deere dating Benedict Arnold. No more cruises to Korea for you."

Our 2017 320 can barely grab a full scoop without bogging down. Cat came out and said there is nothing wrong with it, they did turn it up some but, that didn’t help. I love the volvo’s and deere’s, though the new cat’s are getting pretty nice.

Alex Williamson's blind adventures dude, I get it that some people need different sensory alarms. But to assume that Chris doesn’t care about you is pretty reckless. I don’t think he would let blind folks roam about on his job site to get smashed by his 250 because he doesn’t care. It’s more for the video quality.
