Kansas Construction equipment.

Well like I said in my other post, I hauled a load to a construction company. I got some pictures of some of their stuff that was in the yard. They mainly do dirt work and terraces.

I don't know what kind of mower this is. It hasn't moved for a long time.





This is a huge old Cat payloader they have sitting there in the yard. The story I heard is the engine went bad and it was going to cost a boat load to fix so they junked it. They said they didn't use it enough to justify the cost of the repair. Plus it is so big it was hard to move around. I believe the engine was a V-12. Here are some pics.



This pics kind of shows its size. It is sitting in front of a large tandem axle dump truck. I bet it would look really big with the cab on it and the engine and hood on. The cab is laying beside it.

Here is it's bucket.

Here is the engine.


Here are the other pics I took today. They don't really go with the topic but I am throwing them in anyway. This is our smallest elevator in our coop. I ran it for 2 wheat harvests and 2 fall harvests. It has 2 43,000 bushel bins, 1 21,000 and a 19000. Plus 4 2000 bushel overheads. It has a 3000 bph leg on a good day.
It is in Prairie View Kansas.

Here is my truck unloading some fuel into our cardtrol tanks in Prairie View.

I almost forgot this picture it is the same company pushing out some trees for a farmer west of town.

Questions and comments welcome.

I didnt know Bohls had that big loader. They've been over on the john deere road taking out trees for Beryliens with there big excavator. One of there elevating scarpers is still sitting over by the old Cole place in one of taylors fields, been sittin there for 3yrs now. I dont know why, or what went wrong with it.

I wondered whose scraper that was over there. It has been sitting there for 7 or 8 years. It was sitting there when I worked for Stuart and I have been at COOP for 6 years now. James has been out west taking out trees for Hanchetts with the dozer for a couple of days now. I forgot to post that pic I will have to edit my post and add it.

Looks like what my dad's operates at work but and old model of the 988 series. Newer models are Bigger today.

yeah your right, now that I think about it. They were doing some drainage work on that field of taylors the same year I rented that Goddard place, and it has been about 8 yrs now.

That mower looks like something that would be used to mow those hellishly steep ditches you see along the highway... :S
