That's a great looking rig right there with your dad. My dad is my best friend so I know where you are coming from, wouldn't trade him for anything:thumbsup Seems like your whole family has something to do with construction.
thanks guys, its funny how all of our clients are used to the oh you cant make it that day and they know im going to send my uncle and he does the same for me when we are to busy. i love when i can go work with old man though it still amazes me how smooth he is on the machine and how he always teaches me something new
Moving cubes with a backhoe with forks would suck big time. Talk about working blindfolded. I am down by Sun City was riding my motorcycle yesterday. Enjoying the great weather, if I would of been around I sure would of been your ground man for a while. I sure enjoy watching those big B E draglines digging out phosphate that are around here.
I know what you mean every time i go to the qaurry i see every from the big haul trucks to train cars being loaded the drag line pulling tons of material at a time but yea i get the call to dig the footers and the cube of block where in the way, who ever bright idea it was to put 10 cubes in the middle of where the house was going needs to slapped back handed pimp style

I feel your pain on both issues.
No telling how many concrete blocks I loaded as youngster onto pallets and then moved with a skid that were leftover in new basements. The forks we had for the skid were normal forks, needed the 4 skinny tined type to move the cubes - never delivered on pallets. Then there was the footing dirt inside the basement to deal with as well. My task was to prep the basement slab for concrete.
Have a 420DIT with forks, great for moving pre-cast boxes and pipe but sucks terribly trying to unload pallets from a truck as you can't see the tines from the seat.
i was subbed out by a local landscaper to do some landscaping at our local Indian casino animal exhibit it was a fun job and i do these pretty often allot of local landscapers call me because i have experience putting in large trees is difficult areas although i will admit this one was pretty easy imo

pictures did not come out in order but basically had to bring down our lovely limestone area around this home almost 2 ft and piled it up and hauled it around 3 blocks away to spread and compacted on a later date for another home this guys are building
