Digger Man Blog at Earthmovers

Hi Guys,

I just wanted to start a new thread where I can share the posts from my new blog home at Earthmovers magazine's website.

Its written in the same style as my previous blogs at Contract Journal, SED365, and Construction Index. As some of you may be aware the TCI blog is still being run by them using the brand name that I built up over a 4 year period, so I need all the help I can get at my new host to help re-establish the brand, please check out the Digger Man Blog on a regular basis.

Don't forget if you have any material you would like to share with me on the blog please get in touch.

This was one of the first posts at the new home ... Classic muckshifting photos of C. A. Blackwell kit in action

Cheers

Nick
