I live in Delta Utah, I have worked in the Utility industry for the past 25 yrs, I guess I,ve had an addiction to heavy equipment from when I was a kid working with My Father, at this time I own a Case 1749 skidsteer, Cat 226 skidsteer, and a massey backhoe mdl 30, at the moment I just picked up the cat 226, it has a hole in the block and i"m looking for a replacement engine. or may shoehorn the engine out of my 1740 case into it,case has good motor but the drives are old and used up.

Hello there! I am a hobbyist mostly. My family comes from an agricultural community in southern Greece where we have been been farming mostly olive trees for generations.

My immediate family in the states is perusing many projects around the 26 acre property in North Jersey. We recently got an IH 2400B to help out with those projects, but am having some problems here or there getting everything going with it. Since my house is in PA and my work is freelance, I am able to come back often so I can do some father and son projects taming the land here.

Hi

I've been surfing this site for awhile now and I must say this is a very informative site. I hope to continue to learn more and share some of my experiences.

I have been a heavy equiptment operator for 20+ years working in the oil patch in New Mexico. Mostly dozers, currently I run a D8T but as of late I've been bouncing between equipment.

Look forward to getting to know everyone, thanks!
:usa :thumbsup

Hi

Hi Everybody!
I'm new here...just acquired a Wabco 777B motor grader that is a derilect...and am trying to make her go again.
I'm a farmer for a living..and been around machinery all my life.
I'm enjoying the challenge of making this grader run..and maybe even trying to use it a little.

Hi Stock,
I'm a sod buster farmer (major crops are corn and beans), and we do some ranching here as well...as cow/calf producers.
I run older stuff here..some green Steigers with CAT power, and John Deere row crop tractors.
Not a lot of new paint around my farm, unless I get a chance to rebuild it..and then I like to spiff it up a bit
Thanks for making me feel welcome, I really like this site.

Stock is no stranger to farming. He has a brother that continues the farm craft in Ireland, hence his interest in what type of farming that you do. And, as he requested, do post some pics of South Dakota farming.

Hi Atcoequip,
Thanks for the warm welcome and making me feel "at home"
Yep..I'll always be a farmer first...but machines and wrenching are a big part of what I call fun.
I'll get some pictures together..and with your help..I'll try to post them.
Thanks again

I used to operate a series 4 Steiger with a 250 HP 3306 cat, good solid machine except for the electricals. However then JD came along with a proper 4wd tractor............
