By Ben the Flagman – Dig this everybody, at lunchtime today I took delivery of more than just my usual deep dish pizza – that’s right folks, today I took delivery on an item I ordered up over 3 weeks ago (not 30 minutes ago), my fully loaded super-sweet Skid Steer!! Yippeeeee!! It’s so brand new it doesn’t even have a speck of mud on it yet, but I’m sure that will all change soon.
The dealer talked me into most of the options – heavy duty hydraulic arms, reinforced roll cage and of course the extra capacity scoop bucket (with monster teeth). This Skid Steer definitely has rugged written all over it. Whether it’s moving mounds of dirt or leveling out areas for landscaping, this is one tool that will definitely come in handy at the construction site.
After checking all the fluids and giving the engine the once over, I played around a bit with the in-cab fingertip controls. All-in-all very intuitive, I think all that’s left is to let her grip into the earth and say goodbye to the mud free paint job. The least I could do was take some pictures of that glossy orange paint before I went playing in the dirt (ain’t she purdy). Catch you fellas later, my pizzas getting cold.
