I work for Caterpillar and get to work at the Rock Quarries and stuff which has similar sized equipment. We dont have alot of mines around here so I cant say one way or the other but I can say heavy equipment is a DIRTY JOB

 

[malibu795]

:rofl:

I have worked on the same stuff Travis for a Caterpillar dealer and I have worked in "rock quarries". Both weren't bad. The thing with mining is they are generally heavy union so NOTHING gets done quickly! All day to remove a wheel from a 797 Rock Truck!

 

[malibu795]
