a friend of mine had one , i spent about two months running it for him at a new school project he was working on . I have helped him on three major project over the years . He and i meet years back on a oil/gas well job. I was building the drilling location and he was doing the entrance way With installing the culvert and putting in the 150 foot long stone approach . I already had the drilling pad done and the pits dug and was working on the lease road when i noticed him just staring at me while i was cutting the road . They were nothing special just a 10 and a half foot wide path down to the clay . What fascinated him was the speed i was working at . I was running a new John Deere 750 and they are about like running a skid steer full out . I had my blade angel set to roll the top soil like rolling a carpet . Most guys don't know this trick of adjusting the blade for what your doing . It use to common practice with the old cable blades . Ya really can't do that with a six way but ya can on most straight blades . When i got to the stone i got off and readjusted the blade to skim the clay and smooth out the road back to the pad and took off at full travel cutting the road as smooth as a road grader could do went back turned around and came back out on the finial pass and up on the low boy and was chaining down when he came up to and said he had never seen anybody that could run a dozer like that before . we were building up to two locations a day as long as they were on somewhat level ground and i did not have bench out a hill side or have a 3000 ft lease road to build with obstickles like creek crossings under ground Cables of the U S government . That is a huge can of worms to open , other pipe lines , swamps . and do this with out any lazer or transit , no grademan . No real markings other then the one stake with and orange ribbon on it where the hole was to go . Build a 250 wide by 350 long flat pad on yellow dirt then depending on who's rig was going to do the hole decided on how many pits needed dug and how big and how deep.

Today's Featured Article - Usin Your Implements: Bucket Loader - by Curtis Von Fange. Introduction: Dad was raised during the depression years of the thirties. As a kid he worked part time on a farm in Kansas doing many of the manual chores. Some of the more successful farmers of that day had a new time saving device called a tractor. It increased the farm productivity and, in general, made life easier because more work could be done with this 'mechanical beast'. My dad dreamed that some day he would have his own tractor with every implement he could get. When he rea
