Hi Wiggy.I am abit dyslexic myself at times so I just want to clarify if she's getting you a rubber dick for Christmas or a wheeled excavator?.
Had a Cat 214 years ago.It was a handy tool but you need a good pilot on them.

Can never have enough machinery, have you thought of trading in the wife against a duck? :lol:

My first experience was on a Liebherr 902. Had a blade on one end, although regular driver rarely used it, did rock about a bit but you got used to it and learned to drive the machine accordingly. The boss promoted a 3C driver onto the 902, and gave the 902 driver a 912. The 912, the driver said you had to watch, as it would fall over a lot more easily! :o

I stuck with the 805B, least I couldnt get a puncture with that. :D

Few women understand the finer points of a good machine. Perhaps you could be looking after a duck for a mate? ;)
