pretty nice (and big) machine!</p>

<p>Dozers are really amazing! I had worked on the tank on my
place several years ago using a 5' box blade on the back of
my Farmall M. I was able to make a little headway getting
rid of a ridge that created a shallow end and smoothed it
out enough that I was satisfied. Took me two weeks working
on it after work till dark.</p>
<p>Enter my neighbor that leased my pasture. The drought had
the tank down to a puddle about 20'X8' and maybe a foot
deep. He hired a man with a dozer who went to work making
the tank deeper and scooping out the shallow end so it
matched the deep end. This more than doubled the capacity
and also got rid of all the willows that surrounded the tank
and sucked up water like a sponge. Took him about 3 hours. I
was flabbergasted! George wouldn't tell me how much it cost,
but I am guessing it was $2,500. Amazingly, 3 days after the
work was finished we got a huge rain and it filled the tank.
Talk about luck!</p>

Took delivery of a Cat D6D yesterday. My early Father's Day
present. It has a cab, but w/ an air conditioner that is
gonna need a lot of work... My old dozer was a D6 8U
series about 1952 model... This is like the difference
between a 4020 and a TO-30!! Our old red clay is a pain to
try to move with anything, but this machine can move a bunch
of it. I have been busy with building crossings over the
creeks. the cows use them more than I do. It is so wet
here that cattle go down to their knees when within 6 feet
of the water. Worked about 5 hours today with the D6D and
the 944 loader and built a crossing about 4 ft above the
creek and 100 ft long with a 24in pipe. I dug fill out of a
100 yr old railroad embankment with the dozer and hauled it
with the 944... I love Cat equipment, its the gift that
keeps on giving!!!!<br>
