Merc,
I've attached a photo that was taken in 2002 of myself attempting to help the Contractor build our livestock pond. (I'll operate the dozer and he operates the scraper). As mentioned by others earlier, a dozer is a great piece of equipment when in the right hands. I might also add that in the wrong hands (myself), it can be a dangerous and an expensive lesson. This D-6 was easily removed by a competent operator, but at the time it scared me!
My friendly Operator was a "magician" with heavy equipment and informed me in a polite way that he charged $85 per hour for his services or, $185 per hour if I helped!
Anymore I stick to operating farm tractors, lawn mowers and hand scisors.
