Thanks to HEF! :laugh:

Over all, its kinda hard to get used to with all the buttons, but once you start doing it, like on a real piece of equipment, you know the actions of each button. This game would be really awesome if you had joysticks to use like on a real piece of equipment, but its not that bad with the keyboard..

:laugh: :laugh: I got a keyboard to, I got the hang of the backhoe, but it kinda glitches so sometimes it wont curl, or it wont just swing back and forth. I wish you could do actual jobs with them, just not the same place everytime.

Guys on HEF were talking about a game where you could run a company, and do everything ,run the equipment, buy trucks and equipment, hire people, deal with breakdowns and maintenance, bid jobs, etc. That would be an awesome game imo. Theres a game like that for trucking on the internet already, its pretty fun. Its at the link in my sig. You should check it out...

I kinda miss worded it, I meant there should be a video game created like that.I've never heard of the game your talking about.

Damn cat skid steer. I could have pushed that pile in the hole in 3 passes with my takkie! That's a hard SOB to run!!

But it's fun, I'm going to try again LOL

It is kinda like Monopoly but all construction equipment based. Too bad I'm so good on the game and not real life.:laugh:

The skid steer gets on my nerves, I've done the backhoe like 4 times.. :laugh:

You know you only have to put one bucket of dirt in the hole to get it checked off. And you can press the "1" button to get a view from the cab, like if you were in it in real life. Now if we had some snow we would know what Ronnie felt like! :laugh:

Thats pretty cool, I'll have to order that one day when I have some extra money (that'll be the day)

Is it just like monopoly except with equipment? Like on my JD monopoly, instead of buying railroads you bought factories, if I remember right..

What exactly are you supposed to do with the backhoe? I can't see the lower left corner of the screen.

Dig a hole, place the dirt on the cone, and knock over the barricades. Press the "T" key until the list shows up, the "T" also brings in the extendahoe if you have it all the way out..


So, whats yalls fastest time so far? I did the backhoe in just under 40sec and the skidsteer was like 1min. 37sec..

[CAT powered]

38 seconds on the backhoe and 33 seconds on the skid.

The skid was gettin on my nerves. I havent tried it sense...

[CAT powered]

The problem with the backhoe is that I can't see how much dirt it wants me to put on the cone. I've just been putting enough on it to bury it completely.

I've had the same problem, so I just keep digging and piling it on the cone until it says I did it.. Have you had a problem where you cant curl on the backhoe anymore?

[CAT powered]

Yea. I've had that issue.

I can't even see the list of things it wants me to do so I don't know when it says I have enough dirt. It's too far to the lower left of my screen so I can only see the top right corner of your objective list and I can't read it at all.

Here is what it says:

1. Dig a hole (Just get one bucket and this is crossed off)
2. Place dirt on cone
3. Knock over barricade (Swing all the way to your right and knock over atleast one of the four stupid little orange and white stands)

Backhoe time to beat is now 23 seconds.
