Caterpillar:

That big boy Cat shown above can be a land developers best friend when rough grading unfriendly topography. With a ripper on the back of a dozer, an operator can do some serious additional damage to stumps and root balls as well.

A guys first truck:

Ok - let’s be straight up honest: How many of you guys started your dirt moving dreams by playing with a truck like the one shown above? There should be a lot of “yes” answers out there - at least from the guys telling the truth!

Backhoe:

It’s amazing what this machine can do when controlled by a skilled operator. Trenching, shaping, backfilling, pulling stumps when grubbing, stacking up burn piles - just to name a few of many capabilities.

Same machine, different configuration. Turn the bucket around and now you have a shovel.

Mini machines:

Don’t kid yourself. Dirt moving iron doesn’t have to be massive to do a ton of meaningful work, especially in tight places.
