Meatgistics Podcast: That’s Heavy!

[kyle]

Jonathon Jonesy , great job. Very interesting topic and discussion for me personally. I’m a heavy equipment operator and run very large equipment like a cat D11t dozer that has a blade 10 feet high and 26 feet wide, also 657G two engine scraper. Jonesy and Scott, thanks for helping keeping history alive.

I love to crawl around or just look at some massive machines. Its amazing that we are able to build equipment that is many times larger than ourselves. Great segment.

This was pretty cool to see Jonathon and Jonesy! Nice to put a face with the user name. Very interesting material. My Grandpa used to run open cab graders and his two sons ran blade for some counties. In fact my one uncle is still doing it. Going on 40 years.

Thanks guys. Glad you enjoyed the info. Meeting Jon and touring Walton’s was a definite highline of my week. BTW, that pic on my profile is my grandson. I didn’t want to scare anybody.

Jonesy Jonathon great podcast and interview. Jonesy, way to represent the Buckeye state. BG is only about a 2 hour drive north from Dayton, I would definitely like to visit the museum and if the timing works out, make it to the conference when its in BG. Thanks for what you, Scott and the others do to keep this part of history alive. Jonathan, I think we should make Jonesy an honorary Team Blue member somehow. Great product review also. Chicken on the go is on the next list.

bocephus I haven’t got him started processing, but he helps me reduce my stock of jerky.

GWG8541 we would be glad to see you at the 2022 HCEA show at the museum grounds, in Bowling Green. I’ll remind everyone with a post when the time gets closer. I’ll give anyone driving through the area a free museum tour, any time, if you give me a couple days notice.

The show was is in my hometown of Concordia. We have Prairie Plowing Days every year. It is antique farm equipment working the land and you can see some old steam tractors working. This year they combined it with the HCEA show and called it the big dig. So along with the vintage ag equipment, there was vintage construction equipment there this year. It was pretty amazing see all the equipment. Like Jonesy said, it wasn’t a static display, this equipment was in about a 60 acre plot of land scraping, digging and plowing away just like it was decades ago.
