Pretty clean!
We have a big Deere dealer network here but it sure seems like all the NEW equipment I'm seeing in the fields is red.
My grandfather was a fan of Blue himself.

This was the last bit of iron of any size I got to drive. A guy could spend all day playing with equipment. I even thought of buying land and equipment to rent out. Giant adult sand box for guys who never grew up.

Giant adult sand box for guys who never grew up. Not a bad idea especially if they could bring their youngish kids or grandkids. Relative used to run a Pettybone lift and when working overtime on weekends would sometimes let his grandkids ride in the cab with him. (Ssshhh, you didn't hear that, right?)

I learned sitting on the fender of a 53 Jubilee Ford Tractor and then in a Pettibone etc. Others could too. Just fun to dig holes, move dirt etc.
Get some mid sized dozers, back hoe, graders etc. Look like an Operating Engineer's training center but let people just play.

Giant adult sand box for guys who never grew up. Operating equipment seems like it would fun until you do it for a living. I spent years on Case 580’s, digging ditches and covering them up. I’m thankful to never get on another!!!

It's that "play" thing that makes it fun.............................. they certainly aren't much fun when you have to fuel, grease, and repair the dang things frequently.

When I was operating that CAT and a smaller Dresser for a living - the dealer took care of maintenance as it was brand new but fueling that bastard every shift took forever. I'd not want to do it now. I used it to load limestone into a kiln. If you did it right - you could get the hopper so full you had a good 45 minutes to go do nothing.

Ha, if true..................................your company needed a bigger kiln! Can't have any lollygaggin' around ya' know. Was my job to constantly scrape these piles to keep the 2 kilns fed. Back shot of the kilns. Lime goes into the pre-heater, 1800 degrees and then trickles down the kilns as they rotate - cooking it. It's essentially a controlled coal explosion down the kiln. Very hot. Shut the flame off, open both ends and its a good 7-10 days before it was cool enough to go inside and even then, soles would melt....
