[AT] OT Cat Excavator

[Cecil Bearden]

Yesterday I looked at a Cat E110B excavator and could not leave it to 
waste away on a lot.  It will be delivered tuesday.  A 90 model with 
3500 hrs, pretty rough sheet metal as it was sitting in a building that 
fell down on top of it.  It is one of the quietest and smoothest running 
and operating machines I ever operated.  I had more control over the 
bucket that I ever did on any other machine.    I had an excavation  
contractor friend look at it with me and he only has about 55 years of 
experience in the business.  He said if it was a abigger machine he 
would sure buy it.  It is a 26K machine so a little small for most 
contractors, but I can haul it if I have to on a gooseneck behind a 2 
ton.   I have a couple of hyd driven mowers and I am going to build a 
shear to put on in place of the bucket to clean fencerows.  It has a 
manual thumb and with a little practice you can pull up 10 inch cedar 
trees by the roots and shake the dirt off of them..  I am going to start 
doing some land improvements on  the place that have been needed for 
oaver 30 years.    Also picked up a cat generator with a 3306 turbo 
engine in it.  Don't know the KW rating because I cant read the tag.  
They were both repo machines.  If the generator will work, half of the 
excavator is paid for....
