[AT] 3Ph, etc. now ramble (born free taxed till death)

Mattias would fit in around the fire at Portland

Your 320 reminded me of one I bought in about 74 or so.  I bought it at the Catching Bros monthly Auction at Howe Tx.  It was complete with new rails, rollers, growsers,sprockets and front idler pully.  The machine had Magnolia Pipeline Co stenciled on it(Mobil Oil Co).  I paid for it and some other stuff and when I went to load they told me there was a hold on it.  It seems that the little pot metal ID tag was missing--I did not notice it gone when I looked at it earlier.  Auction owners said they would contact sellers and confirm was not stolen.  I called back mid week and they said they had mailed me a refund.  I often wondered if someone associated with the auction just wanted it more than I did.  I did later that year buy a JD 1010 with a bad injector pump and used it to clear brush and fence lines for several years.  Enjoy having a dozer--it and a skid loader are somewhat like a pocket knife--necessary.  We are using a Case 450 loader now, but I need to rebuild the #1 hole as it has  little compression--I bought it this way knowing that they had let water get in it.  I got it unstuck, but need to put a piston and sleve in #1.  

I am going to get the use of a older D4 Cat for as long as I need it to clean up over on the place we are going to build a new house for my son and his family.  I have to put a new/rebuilt track adjuster on one side of the D4 for using it.

    Mattias;
    I want you to know that I really appreciate your sense of
humor. You would be very comfortable in middle America, and I
hope you can someday come to visit with us.

    As a tractor reference, I have been cleaning trees from
property lines with my Case 320 bulldozer. I can't call them
fence lines, since the fences have long been gone.

                Gene

: Well that is really a hard question to answer. We pay for the
net on one
: bill and the electricity on one other. On the net bill we have
one yearly
: fee that varies depending on the size of the headfuse/s, up to
3 times
: 16A(standard) it's very small differences when you goes beyond
that it
: becomes expensive. We pay the netowner (E.off)121 USD a year
for 3X16A and
: then we pay them 2.85 cents/kWh. Then we pay our
elctricitydistributor 23
: USD/year, 3.74 cents/kWh for electricity, 3.29 cent/kWh
energytax and then
: we pay 0.36 cents/kWh as electricalcertifikatefee (fine word
for another
: tax).
: On all those fees we pay 25% VAT (incl. the taxes, at this
point I think
: I'll have to clarify that I'm not kidding!). This means that
we pay 180 USD
: a year (I believe that you could not even cut that in half if
you go to
: single phase 6A) and 12.80 cents/kWh (6.21 are taxes and VAT)
and we
: probably pay below average for swedish private customers.
: Earlier we had cheap electricity here but now with a
government in hands of
: the enviromentalparty we don't. This means that the only
industries (paper
: and metal) that have been reluctant to leave Sweden for low
sallery
: countries also are dissapearing now. Before we know we will be
in your third
: world gang ;-)
: Confused? Blame the Swedish government. I have no intention to
start a
: political conversation but I believe it would have been
impossible to answer
: your question without mentioning some politics. As tractor
referense I can
: tell you that since I don't use my David Brown other than on
the farm I
: don't have to pay tax for it :-) but I have to pay a yearly 5
USD
: registerkeepingfee (again not kidding).
: If this don't get to the list in a few hours (I had messages
undelivered
: for weeks lately) it's definetively the governments fault!

: First I was surprised that so few of you have 3phase. But on
the other hand
: it feels like some should not have electricity at all or at
least not try to
: do something with it. I thought we had a elctrical system from
the 19 th
: century but you guy's made me feel really modern. Here are
only small or old
: apatments that hav only 1ph.
