Figure if I let the missus man the "50" to keep the rabbits out of her garden, she'd let me have it?? You could always build the unforgettable redneck version...

Locally there is a fellow that absolutely worships him. I did some dozer work for him and the “striped whistlers” (old fellows at the diner) saw the dozer there at his place and thought that he had started to go sideways. I was glad to get my dozer back from there!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

larv71 Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 It's a plow, started out with a Buckeye half track wheel machine to do my own tile projects. My boy got interested and started doing small jobs for neighbors, then upgraded to a Buckeye Super D. Got busier and purchased the plow for system tile projects and use a DynaPac 2400 trencher instead of Super D . Started this 9 years ago and now evolved into a full time business.

Quite the blade for a 6. FIL hauled into the local landfill for a while with a rolloff truck, got to know the guys working. They ran something like a D6, they called it the "Maggot Masher." It had the wide tracks and brush blade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
660 driver Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 One of tge last dinosaurs my company has left. The d8r left last spring. That 9n is our old landfill dozer. Was replaced by a newer d8. Now it goes to jobsites to rip frost and some heavy hogging on firm ground. 9's are not for mud! I ran the old cat for a day on a 10million yard job for a costco distribution center outside owatonna,MN. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have always been amazed at how different terminology evolves regionally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigequip Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 I have only known them as Arches here in the West. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
int 504 Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 As a follow up. Sulky is its given name from Hyster. Hyster called the larger ones arches. I may be the only one around here who calls it a sulky, for that matter it is probably the only one in captivity in this area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
