Our third installment of the "Black Ice" Series brought us out to I Don't Know Where, Indiana/Chicago, Illinois to visit with the fine folks of Witech Excavating on two separate projects.
1. The first site was a commercial project building out a pad for what will end up being some kind of distribution warehouse.
2. The second project was a MASSIVE landfill. (top-secret)

I run dual scraper pans in a train behind a CAT 965 C with wheels. We do agricultural landforming in the Mississippi delta. We have 6 dual scraper rigs that range from 40-46 yards capacity and two finishing tractors. Just got ourselves a D-6 too so I’m anxious to get some seat time in that.

Another nice feature of those quad track scrapers is that the cab isn't bouncing around all over the place. That means you don't have to find jockey operators who are willing to be jostled about all day long.

One day ill be able to get a quadtrac to use as a daily driver. Think your pick up with ugly as* wheels that extend further out then the compensation you're trying to achieve can mall crawl good, wait until i show up at the mall with my quadtrac.

Its a Versatile modified for construction... Does it actually have a CAT engine??? Always thought Versatile should dump Cummins and put a C18 in the Delta Trac... EDIT: Yes, eat my words and wonder why this C18 Versatile is not offered to the ag community??? 630hp,,, lol, this thing could easily do 900... Same bs with CaseIH... FPT has a 16l that can do 8-900hp,,, their making 692 with a 12.9l,,,, wheres the new Quad Trac with that 16l???

Ford Expedition… the WORST vehicle anyone in my family has ever owned. My mom had it… we all hated it. Handled/ drove awful. Interior literally crumbled apart, HVAC and radio had constant electrical issues, “leather” seats cracked and tore like corn chips, mirrors had the glass fall out, dash cracked, rear link arms rusted out, heater core failed, constantly changed coil packs on it, cam phasers finally put it and us out of its misery.
