[QUOTE="dezman, post: 43529, member: 1018"] I miss my mining machinery, here is a picture of my blower which loved to eat diesel. A six cylinder turbo running a four foot fan, it made easy work of extracting the dirt. I had enough 10 inch pipes to go down sixty foot then along a drive fifty five feet, she could suck up a piece of solid clay the size of a football easily. Lucky the government gave rebates on the fuel, but I never got a digger to feed it. Or then things would of been fun, we used air hammers that have more punch that electric ones. But always pushing ourselves to keep up, I wouldn't use one again. [/QUOTE]
