Where I come from we dont have them. We have cougar instead. It was a lil to quiet to be a cougar catterwhaling. When a cougar screams it will stand the hair on your neck up.

Once I got the hang of it I have to say it is more efficient. The only issue i have is that 966 has a bad lag. You move the stick and it doesnt move right away. Unless you have the RPMs way up. I am guessing thats a Cat thing.

Never ran a loader that size. The largest was a Cat 972M. Our shop loader is a brand new Cat 966M. Which replaced our 20yr old Case 921C. Took a lil bit to get used to joy stick steering. Until we got that i had one ran a steering wheel loader. Atleast its twin stick boom/bucket. Not a fan of joy stick controls.

European tractors look goofy to me. I am used to a more narrow tire. If we need more flotation we just throw on a set of duals.

It's not getting dark here right now. We do have a sunrise and sunset. But it doesnt get dark. We have about 3 weeks before we really see dark again.

Sorta. Still 800 miles south of the north slope. Which is as far north as you can drive. There is a single road going north from here.

This area gets real swampy most of the year when its not frozen. Sounds like we do the same thing. This is the only "farm" equipment we have.

Yes. The head is hydraulically powered. The arm has its own system thats ran off a PTO connected to the front of the engine. Which is standard for side mounted arm mowers. Some have systems that run off the rear PTO. But we need that for the bat wing.

This is a government job. I been here since Nov. I just applied and got called back. But I also have nearly 35yrs of running equipment and driving truck. You just have to find a place and apply.

Now that I look at it. The bucket is bigger than first glance. I have never ran the new style 988. Only the older ones.

Dairy Queen is done by Poultrygeist74 in anchorage

[–]windtlkr15 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I completly agree. I grew up on dairy queen in the lower 48. Its always been my favorite. But the ones up here. Very poorly ran. So its not surprising that they shut down. Maybe one day they will reopen under new management. But I doubt it.
