Pushing on with “Go Back”

Pictured above: Luke Furse (Left) with Son Lloyd Furse (Right) with the companies latest machines. 

As something of a teaser for that I thought I would pop a video up here on the Digger Man Blog.

There is nothing better than watching a dozer being put through its paces by a highly skilled and experienced operator, and in my neck of the woods in the South West of England, they don’t come any better than Justin Gliddon aka “Go Back”.

Just over a year ago Justin, who has always been a long-term Caterpillar devotee was asked if he would try out a Liebherr PR 726, he tried it and really liked the machine, and as they say the rest is history. Luke Furse decided to invest in the Austrian built machine to replace an outgoing D6 model and both operator and owner have been delighted with the machine so far.

I will go into more detail on this machine and the new Kobelco SK130LC-11 operated by the other half of this "dream team" of operators Alan Gliddon, in the magazine in due course, but in the meantime enjoy the video.
