Caterpillar power!

Wednesday,  I got to go over to Ken's farm and play with the vintage D6 pulling a 5 shank ripper.  I've never been around CAT's much, they're quite impressive and extremely powerful!  For something that's 60+ years old, it can still hold its own against modern machinery.
Working the heavy river bottom ground.  This was all fill material and leftover from the reverse osmosis water plant directly to the North.

No smoke!

Notice the water temp, for pulling well over 100% of rated load, the engine isn't even hot!

The view from on board.  Blue roof building is the water plant.

I had to get off (because my knees were killing me) and to go pick up Skyler from Grandma & Grandpa's.  Bye Ken!
