I love how the broken one that was left sitting a year was looking nice and clean with slick wheels on the back and said 988B clearly on the front loader part and then the one they startup was rusted and beat to heck- and as she was driving away (in the alleged only working loader) the other with slick back wheels and clear 988B was still sitting there- lol talk about whoever dose continuity on that show missed that- lol

[@Thinkle911]

And who would simply forget a rather fine loader with a little engine problem for several years in the woods? And who would push-pull a loader for several miles with a dozer down the road, if he just could have pushed it onto the flat bed? When the D10 fits onto the flatbed, the loader will fit, too. And why wouldn't they bring a service truck to the loader and fix it in place (just some valves were stuck, which is the first and most common problem, if all hydraulic systems in the loader are not working fine.) instead of wasting time money and material on building this tow bar and hauling it to the site? All of it sounds a little bit too much like TV drama content.

Gold is worth so much and equipment is not, untill you run it all into the ground.

[@mfranzusan3014]

I hear you. The mentality of prospectors is completely different. When gold gives you enough capital to buy a house every day, maintenance is an obstacle you can't stop for and that's really a shame because as much as that equipment makes you money, it needs to pay for itself first, and if there's no time or budget to keep it up, it's because you're regarding the operation as a series of events. One piece drops out, nothing makes money. They put thousands of hours on new equipment every season because stopping after 2 weeks to change the engine oil is a hindrance. They prove their mentality with math saying cost of basic maintenance, manpower, parts and repair become so costly because of down time for the whole facility and being where they are that it's cheaper to run that excavator into the ground and buy a new one next year
