[QUOTE="Craig-TX, post: 97110, member: 39"] You’re right AZ, those excavators that carry a big load of dirt sure are nice. Around here the problem is rock. If you’re digging a new styled tank (not so wide but deep) you’ve just about got to have a decent sized dozer with a ripper on the back. Nothing else short of dynamite will bust through the layers. It is truly amazing that the old tanks (wide and shallow) were dug with a team and a slip. That is many a load when you consider a good team and a big slip would haul what, a quarter yard per trip? And that’s after plowing it as deep as they could to get everything loose enough that the slip could bite it. Those people knew how to work. [/QUOTE]
