After talking with will he stated that a majority of wheelers work in the heavy equipment operation field. So im seeing if this theory holds true.

and i guess i do. I run a JD backhoe on a regular basis. and sometimes i play with a small JD excavator. but nothing over 20 min at a time or so unless its plowing the parking lot with a backhoe or skid steer.

Operating Engineers and i'm in the process of going for my NCCCO.
This was a 5 Million Dollar 135 Ton machine I was on for a long time. It's called a MT720 Roadheader by Sandvik in Austria. This machine has a diesel engine but it also runs on electric and we ran it on electric. Each drum has 180 Carbide Tips, cab is pressurized. Badass piece of equipment. In the pics I'm using the boom to load the rail carts we used to transport the machine into the tunnel where we would be using the machine. Working in a tunnel was quite an experience, sometimes they would blast with dynamite. The sound and shockwave that ran through the tunnel after the blasts went off made for such a rush, got the adrenaline flowing! Sometimes I'd be in the cab of this thing cutting rock for 16 hours straight!
