One of our main machines got some lovin today. A few weeks ago it got a crack in the housing plate that holds the hydrolycs underneath the main plate. Today with a lot of welding we put her all put back together. A few years ago this machine almost took off my finger. It's big, it's powerful and can chop rock up to 12 inches thick. It demands respect as does most of our machinery otherwise it's pretty easy to get hurt.
Although I got a crash course in hydrolycs a few years ago. I feel like everytime we pull this thing apart I learn something new. I absolutely love learning about all our machinery.
This is what she looked like new....we've had her for years so she's not as shinny anymore but she's still a beautiful machine!
