Rod,
Most machine,such as your description of your own, is ready for scrap prices. Many true machinery operators care about their equipment including appearances. From reading your two replies it seems as though I'm writing to a 30-40 year old person who feels the need to make excuses for how his equipment is kept up,or lack of upkeep. Even when I was in the earthmoving business, all of my machinery was kept up,including appearances, as that is just another way of one persons ability to complete a job.Maybe in your neck of the woods,it might be true for machinery prices,but here it is not.

How is a person to make a payment on a 30-40k piece of equipment if all he charges is enough to cover the fuel bill? When it breaks down, he is in a world of hurt,and soon discovers he shouldn't be in the business and should have never done it. Everyone is cutting each others throats for a job,while the repo list gets longer and longer.I'll make sure to never hire anyone from NS/Canada as if you are the pattern of which to expect from your area as business dealing.

Working equipment doesn't have to look like it's on it's last leg,as by your description, yours must be.I truly don't believe you own or operate earth moving equipment. If you done something stupid with your equipment, tells me you haven't figured out what to do and what not to do with it,if you have any such equipment.

Some people around here still get a kick from doing their own work,and some work for others.The nice comments we get from people on our equipment continues to future customers.See we don't post all the work we've done for friends and neighbors with our little dozer,as their gratitude is appreciation is all the recognition we need. So you can make all the excuses about your equipment you want,if you have any, it serves no purpose on me. So anymore of your supposed comments are falling on deaf ears and serves no worthy purpose,other than to try and justify your unkempt equipment, you are more important in your mind and opinions than I.
LOU
