Getting some new gear around, good to see. A few hours of hands on and you’ll be operating her like a pro, good rig for tight spots. I always enjoy the ole bulldogs working, it’s good to see the ole iron still kicking. Say hi to your pops for me. Kudos from NEWFOUNDLAND, as far east as you can go, take her easy.👍

Thanks! yep it’s going to be great for yard work. I’ve been able to operate it on a few jobs and it works slick

Just came across you guys on my recommended page and now I see you’re local (I’m on the Appomattox side of Buckingham). Hawkins Graves is a great dealer and those Takeuchi skid steers are great machines!

@@charleskirby9190 Nice. This is the first machine we’ve bought from them in a long while. Our Komatsu equipment was bought used from the previous company Virginia Track.

I hope the new machine is as reliable as the old rusty iron has been for you. A tracked skid steer is one of the most useful tools to own.

Cool vid with the Mack R and the old Dm600 the DM is rough looking but it still going ain't it and I was curious if the r mack had Jake brakes

Ol yeller is a little ragged but he don’t complain. Yes the red Mack has a jack brake, it’s quieter than some of the other trucks

I love R models. I worked for Mack for 30 years and the first truck I drove there was an R model. Then a U model. After those a couple experimentals and finally a good ol'e CH. I liked the R model better than any of them. Your trucks are running great. Does the R model have a 300 or 350? It pulled that scraper like it was nothing.
@AppalachianRustАй бұрын
Nice. The R model has a 300. It’s just a five speed but it has been a really good truck.
