My Mog has been busy over the last 6 weeks working to fill remote area water tanks for fire fighting, running for 12 hours a day/6 days per week in country so steep that it required 1st gear for hours on end. fitted with a 4600l tank the only failure was a blown tyre which unfortunately the driver had no option but to lock the diffs and drive it out to somewhat flatter ground for a safe change.
Todays job was to transport a 10ft shipping container with generator and 2000l diesel tank 13km up a bloody steep/muddy hill, I took the dozer as well as I also had to take up a Cat 966 loader to unload the container once up the top.. The loader needed to be towed most of the way, the Mog only needed a tug towards the top as Im still on the totally crap Dunlop Omnitrac tyres(Cant wait to get rid of them). If we couldn't get this equipment up, the only option was a $30k helicopter lift..needless to say, all equipment is up the top of the hill..15 Hours in a Mog and Im ready for a beer.
