He does underground work so I hope so lol. My brother just bought a little Takuchi (sp?) and that thing is fun, the guy he was building a house for decided he wanted a longer garage after the footings were all poured so I got to take em out with that little monster good times. Good luck to you all I'm looking forward to a nice leisurely spring thaw up here.

STiSchucky

(almost) every Wednesday

Anyway, my outlook changed. Let it flood.
$80 covers me for $12,000 in contents at the apartment. Figured what the hell. Probably drag out the motorcycle, toolbox and computers out and call it good.

i was on a road crew setting pipe for a couple summers, and they had a 220 and 300... a 400 would be a big machine

what kind of permit does it take to get it down the highway?, that thing has to be 90-100k lbs by itself

About 100,000 I just hook up the gooseneck and pull it down the road with my pick/up. What are the permits for???

Bp-08

400 defiantly makes laying pipe nice, that is if the operator isnt a retard. Bring that thing over to my house I want a swimming pool lol.

Rexwagon

so the NWS says its a 96% chance of major flood level. and a 70% chance of going past 37 ft.

dubbsy

and 20% of 41'+

Rexwagon

and the amount its going to actually flood will be dependent on how much percipitation we get in march and so on just like last year. so get ur flood pants on.

Sandbagging efforts start march 1st fyi

As long as road limits aren't on (frost) permits aren't too bad. A couple hundred for a trip permit. I haven't looked in a while but it was 40 to haul combined weight of 120000. Once the emergency is called pretty much anything goes. You should have seen the stuff being moved last year. 24/7.

We had a big Railroad project with 5 400's in Fridley, MN (Northwest Twin Cities). Its a crazy amount of dirt moving there...

I'm moving to Houston... while your sandbagging I'll be looking for my sun screen. haha

edit just looked at some old pics and they were 345s... 400s must run on baby tears. dam.
