I’m checking to see how many operators would be interested in attending a class dealing with Hydro Vac Excavation. If you would be interested in attending a class to learn more about this type of excavation please call Sheila at (765)-378-0013 to let us know of any interest.

I would like to take this opportunity to welcome all of our members to our new website. I hope the changes we have made, make checking on class schedule and scheduling a class easier to navigate.

From time-to-time I will be updating the information on this page to try to keep you informed about what’s going on down here at the training site.

Due to the drastic changes being made to CAT motor grader control systems we have rented a 140 M motor grader with pilot controls for the winter. Please feel free to come down and check it out!!

Cat® M Series Motor Grader Highlights

· Joystick control system greatly simplifies motor grader operation and training.

· Dynamic styling with sloping, tapered engine enclosure enhances critical sight lines.

· Angled cab doors, tapered cab floor and the absence of control levers dramatically improves sight lines to the blade, drawbar/circle/moldboard and work tools.

· Variable Horse Power (VHP) standard. Variable Horse Power Plus (VHP Plus) optional.

· Improved All Wheel Drive system available for 120-, 140- and 160-size machines.
