Holland Loader

Sometimes, when you feel bad, only a Holland Loader will suffice.

I first saw one of these many years ago somewhere near Las Vegas. Like the time I beheld one of those Petersen DD9G Quad-Tracs converted to a ripper, it was an experience that remained with me. This modern Holland Loader is yoked to what appears to me to be a pair of Cat D10s; the one I saw had a pair of Allis-Chalmers HD-41s. The D10s are better dozers by far, but back in the day the old HD-41s had a certain machismo.

And having ruminated thus, I feel better.
