Title: The places we go for work

A gravel mine south of the city.  I was at the edge of the cut about halfway up.

Use zoom to see large machines somewhere down there.

In one picture there are two payloaders with the rubber bands near the end.  In the last picture is a Cat 320 excavator up on top of the ridge scraping away topsoil for the drill for blasting.
That 320 has a bad rubber band too and they want it fixed soon, and very cheaply. 
Trucks cannot get on top of the ridge anymore so it would have to be driven down for any service.

We were asked to quote the work and they won't like we demand its at our shop or the prices.  Especially for the Komatsu loader.  Parts hurt for those.
