com - I’ve never had the opportunity to get the privilege of getting to operate a Liebherr dozer of any kind because I live in the US and the only machines that size here that I know of are either Cats,Komatsu’s that have Dozer’s that big. D-10/D-11 or Komatsu 475 Super Dozer. The D9 was the only one that I got to run for any length of time and that was about 7 1/2 years and then I got the first D-10 and I fell I love with that Dozer, it had everything right at your finger tips, I had a radio that played music that was bad ass it sounded like the one that I had in my truck. And then it just had unbelievable things that I’d never before seen in any other Dozer that I had operated, that damn thing had more bells and whistles that I didn’t have a fucking clue what they were on how to turn them off. But after about three weeks if you would’ve come up to me and asked me what everything did I could tell you what everything and how it worked the whole nine yards. The people I worked for were the best you have ever worked for and I asked for some time to get used to it and they told me to take off a away I went and after about 16 hours was all it took and I was ready for the frying pan. But that’s what I miss about being a Heavy Equipment for 38 1/2 years, it’s like the bike story, once you learn you’ll never forget how to operate a piece of equipment. And if I could go back to work tomorrow morning I’d be there ready to start another chapter in my life, I’m turning 60 in a few months and I’ve got another 25-30 more years of operating either a Excavator or BullDozer!!! I know that I’ve probably bored y’all to death with my insites about my life but it’s a profession that I truly love.!!!!!
