• Scam Alert. Members are reminded to NOT send money to buy anything. Don't buy things remote and have it shipped - go get it yourself, pay in person, and take your equipment with you. Scammers have burned people on this forum. Urgency, secrecy, excuses, selling for friend, newish members, FUD, are RED FLAGS. A video conference call is not adequate assurance. Face to face interactions are required. Please report suspicions to the forum admins. Stay Safe - anyone can get scammed.
  • Several Regions have held meetups already, but others are being planned or are evaluating the interest. The Ontario GTA West area meetup is planned for Saturday April 26th at Greasemonkeys shop in Aylmer Ontario. If you are interested and haven’t signed up yet, click here! Arbutus has also explored interest in a Fraser Valley meetup but it seems members either missed his thread or had other plans. Let him know if you are interested in a meetup later in the year by posting here! Slowpoke is trying to pull together an Ottawa area meetup later this summer. No date has been selected yet, so let him know if you are interested here! We are not aware of any other meetups being planned this year. If you are interested in doing something in your area, let everyone know and make it happen! Meetups are a great way to make new machining friends and get hands on help in your area. Don’t be shy, sign up and come, or plan your own meetup!

You’ll never believe me.....

Those double drop's are an awesome trailer for heavy equipment...take it from someone that rode a Komatsu 155 dozer off the side of a conventional low-boy...it ain't fun. I was just a kid, first job out of high-school and probably only 2nd or thrd time loading a cat. Me and that 80,000 lb cat hit the ground on our side with only the ROPS frame holding that machine from crushing me. I walked out of er with a small bruise on my arm and an extremely black face from the summers topsoil dust that fell out of the belly pan into the fan blast...I was a steadfast BLM supporter for that short period in my life. LOL.
