A excellent image of our Founder and CEO Joe Hart, aboard this great machine - a CAT D7 E 48a Bulldozer - getting around 160 Hp out of four cylinders.

We owned this old faithful in the mid 80's for 6 or more years after having purchased it from some bloke in Taupo.

This photo is when we were a bit skinnier and didn't think about future hearing problems let alone ROPS, seatbelts and all the new regulations we accept as standard practice.

The machine is on the farm in the hills in behind Palmerston North east of Massey University. The farm was being developed into lifestyle blocks and is now Nghare park with many residents populating it, - and yes it did get up that hill!

As long as we kept the radiator clean with a water blaster she did a good days work. Often had a Onions Scoop behind which could move a considerable amount of dirt in a day. Soon learnt how to look after the winch rope as it was a messy job to shorten the cable when damage was done by improper operating.
