Update for Ian....

[JD450A]

It's not exactly a difficult beast to get in tight sadly. I was watching the Groundworkers Block grab packs of blocks and Crane them up to 3rd story scaffold with the Cat 315L today... now that's skill.

Hopefully the next site won't be a site as such, site's hopefully :D

But yea, Just hope I'm still as good on Diggers as I thought I was. I think If I get another telehandler job I'll be hanging me self from it...

Made any progress on the Drott Rory ?

[JD450A]

not yet, waiting for paycheque and then I figure I shall purchase a container and make a shed to start the stripdown. Need time and most importantly money... .hopefully the new job will appear and that will give me the time.

Rory , If you got that big lump in there in the first photo without knocking scaffolding or building down ,There s nothing wrong with your operating abilitys .

I couldnt have put that any better and Ive been in some tight spots

so is it a Cat, bobcat or a drott? hopefully the latter so it can be burnt.........................

[ianoz]

I think the idea of the shit load of names is to ,bring it up in more searches . So It is a cat , And what we refer to as a drott ,But not an international So you can put the matches down .

Why would you want something you have to climb out of the cab and onto the back acor to operate...

Small update. Same story. Waiting on one job, Thinking of applying for a Linesmans job which I've been sent, and doing other madness.

Got a little Jack russel dog now. and this weekend trying to finish a langer rover. been operating the cat 315L a wee bit aswell :D
