It was nice finally seeing the 9 up close and being able to get the equipment together and move some dirt.

Sure was fun digging on "the pile" with somewhat of an active mine diorama we had going! I can't wait to do some more digging in May at the Lakeside Sand and Gravel open house and the Brownsville,PA show. Lakeside is real easy digging in a pile of coarse sand. The only problem there is; I have to set on a piece of plywood on that soft sand and I need to dodge a kid or two throwing sand at my model since it's next to the kiddy play area.
We finally weighed the 9W when we unloaded it from my trailer and I was pretty close estimating 175lbs. and it is exactly 180lbs. I figure about 25-30 more pounds of parts and she'll be complete.
