🎉Thanks brother for helpful video🎉

[@DieselandIron]

Thanks for watching my man!

Nice job! That would have been an ideal job for the DL550.

[@DieselandIron]

Agreed Wayne! Rick and I were talking about that the day after we installed this drive. We had our skid onsite but opted for the dozer so we didn't chew through our tracks on the CTL. The DL550 would have let us cart the material around, grade it out and the steel tracks wouldn't have gotten shredded. I think Case needs to let us have one for a year to showcase this stuff....

After entering this line of work I'm honestly surprised by the lack of box blade like equipment/attachments that would be perfect for long narrow roads.

[@DieselandIron]

The problem is the lack of versatility that a box blade gives you. I can do a lot more with a dozer blade than I can a dedicated box blade. To run a box blade I either need to invest in a skip loader or get an additional attachment for my skid. If I put the box blade on my skid then it will only be useful for the 3 or so long driveways I do a year. Is it worth investing $5-8k for an attachment you will only use 3 times a year? These are the questions you ask yourself as a business owner.

@@DieselandIron That is a good point it's definitely a case by case basis, in your case you only have 1 truck driver so you have the time to work the material between loads and you have small equipment so the material stays mostly in the road. On the project I just finished we had about 7 miles of 12 ft wide string roads but our motor graders had 16 ft blades so you had to turn the blade till it almost hit your tire which made it really hard to carry material to the holes the truck drivers left since it would all just roll over to the side. I damn near went out and bought a box blade with my own money just to keep my sanity.

Good to know.

Thanks Shane! Hope life is going well for you brother! It's been awhile!
