I'm curious, why do people install bigger injectors, exhaust, turbos, tires, lift their trucks, have their turbos make more noise, enjoy blowing black smoke, doing burnouts, and apply the assortments of decals degrading something/someone else .......?

Well to answer the first part of your question that is very obvious, PERFORMANCEAs for part two of your question talking down about other brands is just so 2nd grade.

JMHO

Thank you. I meant pull the PSD emblems off in my first post. Either way I think it may find 2 small cummins ebmlems and thats all.

I drive a cummins on my personal time, but at work I operate a decently enormous 450,000lbs piece of equipment with one 1600hp 3512 cat and one 350hp c9 cat.



I just couldn't find a bumpersticker big enough to fit all that on

Thank you!!!!

Someone sees this too!!

Ive worked around and on tractors shredding, discing, combine harvesting, ect. my whole life and I hate it when some suburb kid, who has listened to way to much Toby Keith, thinks hes a country boy and struts around in a pre-faded John Deer shirts and think they're cool.

I resent them so much that absolutely refuse to wear or display a decal of any clitche like 'redneck' 'John Deer' for fear of accidentally mistaken for one of those 'posers' by others who might think as I do.

I agree. I dont wear those things b/c I dont want people thinking im some suburb person trying to look country and to be honest thats the first thing I think when I see someone wearing a John Deere shirt or have a John Deere plate or sticker. Just my .02

I don't run tractors , occasionally the (Case) backhoe at work. I do mow my grass on a Cub Cadet. Would a Cub Cadet sticker on my truck offend any one? I have no stickers on my truck, but since I make the payments and no one else does. MY CHOICE.

Another picture of a 1860.

Yeah. I was awestruck when I fist started this job. Here's a picture of a baby trencher (1260).


And yeah, that's a million dollar 48-wheel 85ton capacity trailer. I love making things go smash

Anyhoo, back on topic, I don't have any stickers other than Support Law Enforcement and a "Keep Honking, I'm Reloading"

What exactly would you use a trencher like that for? I can assume large pipes, but for what?

Personally...I think any stickers on a truck or its windows just clutter and cheapen it up. I starting to think that de-badging is the way to go. jmho

I was going to guess to install invisible dog fences, or cable tv.

I do understand what you boys are getting at, but what kills the hell out of me is the PINK John Deere stickers!!!!! I've got a 24 hp Kubota compact tractor, guess i'll have to put that on my truck, LOL. I Think it's ok for the boys who make a living with the Deere equipment to proudly sport it, but the rest has just become a trend thing, kinda like driving a (stroker) ya know, it ain't too good but everyone thinks it is.

Gas, water, sewer, and electrical lines. Most main lines are 16'+ deep. Main's can run anywhere from 12"-48" diameter. Sometimes you'll have numerous lines ran through a single cut, and you'll have to double cut it (most booms are 36" wide unless you have an 1860 with a 96" wide boom). It's fun. Super easy if your machine is equipped with GPS (realtime accuracy up to 0.001').

But naw what REALLY gets on my nerves are the gigantic 4x4 stickers that take up the entire bedside or rear window. As if I didn't know what a front axle was to figure out it was a 4x4... Mostly Chevy guys too...

Whenever I got my Dodge, the first thing to come off were those horrible blue sport stickers on the hood and then the blue 2500's on the doors.. Then the blue 4x4 and blue dodge on the tailgate. (Can you tell I'm not a fan of blue on white? Especially when they're just stickers and not emblems) Instead of just keeping it debadged I added my own 4x4, dodge, and cummins stickers in their place. Same amount of badges, just different ones (not a single one of them blue either!). I don't mind stickers, just as long as they don't take away from the truck (which is dang near impossible with a dodge cummins anyways)
