I’m glad to see I’m not the only one that demands my equipment look brand new at 3 years down the road. My operators understand upfront what I expect. They understand it’s my money, my company, my equipment that pays their check. Usually an operator only gets one chance to put a scratch on one of my machines. End of story. If you don’t like it go buy your own stuff and do whatever you want with it.

It needed to be sand blasted and body filler put on it, that hard to do in the field.

It's not really "a lot of messing around". Some guys drop the counterweight every time they move the machine depending on the weight of the machine. They get the biggest machine possible that will be just 80,000lbs with the counterweight and bucket removed. That way they can run a 100,000lb machine but still be under 80k for transport

Going under the weight to rotate the resting blocks seems dangerous.

The real danger is standing next to it with the lift chains detached without first strapping it to the trailer. Bad move IMO

Why are you changing the counter weight? It looks the same, is the weight more or less?

I like my equipment to look nice, the operator usually doesn’t have a second chance to do it again.

People do not realize what this equipment costs. For what it costs you have to keep it nice. Also after one guy scratches it up it’s game over. The next guy will make it worse and so forth. Good job taking care of your equipment and taking pride in it.
