Great pictures, Robert. It seems to me to be almost a crime to have a brand spanking new machine working in all that salt water !!

Excellent pictures
Looks like an extra counter weight mounted above the hitch on the dozer in the second picture?
What would that be for extra traction? I suppose there is no weight transfered from the box to aid grip as it fills?

No direct or downwards force on the drawbar but by putting the crawler's drawbar higher than the scraper it will pull the back-end of it down - better this way than than the other
