big A$$ tracks

[dds]

I wouldn't consider any of these snow cats but they are some impressive tracked vehicles also one pic make you tractor collectors drool and for anny of the railroad buffs check out these motors the galloping goose wasn't the only one that still survives

the first one is a custom built drill rig the nodwell is the support vehicle they've been drilling a lot of wells lately they can punch a hole trhough 400 feet of bedrock in just a couple days the drillers also do mineral exploration the drill carrier has a series 60 detroit whic should be about 425 hp which makes it one powerful drill.

don,do you give tours??

[dds]

looks like you are getting one on line if anyone from the forums wanted to see the country side should they come up here i would gladly run them around if they didn't mind helping out fuel

[dds]

i talked to the guy who built the big drill he is going to do core samples for a mine down by councle he has build like 5 rigs like that one and has shipped them all over he even took 3 to siberia on one project.

You must be getting this suff in by ships now. Does your fuel price drop in the summer?

yes the first 2 barges made it in with freight but fuel will be late this year as of jan 1 we now have to sell ulsd for motor fuel so the tanks had to be drained and cleaned befoore the new ulsd product can be put back in. because of the ulsd change we are expecting a price increace for motor fuel.

made a trip up the road yeserday too deliver some fuel the rain has started too turn stuff green so i snapped some pics of the country side of the same areas i was in in the winter so the summer and winter differences can be seen also we loaded the fuel on to a morooko tracked vehicle and a nodwell trailer for the trip into the mine looking at that rig i thaught it would be the ideal krusty recovery vehicle.

will try the pics again they didn't take
