Steiger 9390

[cstocks]

I am paying to have a pond dug and the dirtwork done for the pad for my new house, a pad for a future barn and 200' of driveway. The fellow doing the work will be using a 425 hp Steiger/Case/IH tractor and 20 yd. scraper. I had no idea how big of a rig he owned until he showed up yesterday and turned in my driveway. What a monster! My wife is standing in the foreground... you can see the tires are as tall as she is!

I believe he said the scraper had a 20 yd. capacity. He claims he can do all the work in one day. I saw another pond that he had done in eight hours and it was roughly 1/2 acre, 14 ft. on the deep end and 8 ft. on the shallow end.

WOW /w3tcompact/icons/eyes.gif, I want two of them!

The yellow tower on the left is where he mounts his laser. In the foreground you can see where he made a couple of passes before calling it a day. He decided that the ground is too wet right now. This Texas gumbo dirt just makes huge clods when it is wet and he was starting to get stuck so we are going to try to hold off 2-3 more days and see if the ground will dry out a little more before proceeding.

The owner said the price for a tractor like this one starts at $180,000./w3tcompact/icons/shocked.gif Does your ink pen have enough ink to write all those zeroes on a check?/w3tcompact/icons/laugh.gif

I see these rigs from time to time but always wonder what the advantage over a regular pan scraper is. This seems to be a compromise at best and the money must be about the same for the dedicated scraper. Any one know the pros and cons of each?

And cstocks, where is all your snow? If that ground were as frozen as ours you wouldn't be worrying one bit about getting stuck /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif

 

[cstocks]

Your numbers look a lot better than what the owner told me... almost makes it affordable for us compact tractor owners!/w3tcompact/icons/eyes.gif/w3tcompact/icons/grin.gif

If I want to see some snow I guess I will have to settle for the snow pictures posted here on TBN and maybe stick my head in the freezer to help make it a little more realistic!

It snowed back home in south Ark three winters ago and I was leaving to come back home that morning... I was bummed out because they ended up getting about 10 inches all together and I did not get to stick around to enjoy it.
