Cant wait to get my heavy equiptment operators license

[CDNcatskinner]

@Elva89 its a good life, I am surprised mare people don't do it...good luck!

@CDNcatskinner Any advice on getting that license that you could let a newbie in on? It's the only profession I know of that you get to play in the dirt and get paid for it. Sorry for the double video comment.

is that a cattle drive going up the road at 0:35?!?!?

@Fireheart528 There are some operator training courses around, it may even get to the point that tickets will be required in the future...I got in the old way, I went to work for an uncle that trained me right after high school, didn't get on a seat right away, had to work as a labourer, putting in culverts and fueling machines...I think a good way to get started is just send a resume in and start at the bottom

I noticed that when you buy deere tractors now you just paying for the name

I've looked at several tractors from them all with plastic fenders and body attached to a metal frame..

Sounds like radio is just as shitty in Northern B.C. as it is in Southern Manitoba.
