Topic: Newbee in Cairns
G'day all,
After a few decades working for the Crown (yeah i know) 
:lol I have had the oportunity to take on a new venture in a world that i new, only 6 months ago very little about. Still know bu**er all but i can at least tell the difference between a Dingo and the others. Not sure if any of the other operators in Cairns are forum contributers but i have taken on the comments regarding talking to other operators that where given on the forum. Like so many small businesses i owe the bank and so am very motivated to make this business work. I take delievery Thursday of a K9-4 and contractors kit more or less. I have the skills to do a spreader bar myself. The truck is a Canter tipper. Not sure now if i should have gone with a trailer set up but considered the tipper gave me more options. I'll be looking for advise and suggestions and trying to make the learning curve as quick as possible. You can see i worked for the gov but try not to hold it against me. The business is A1K9 Precision Dingo Digger and with good grace i'll have a web site up in the next week or so.

Remember that there are no stupid questions. Ask away and you will get good advice from the friendly bunch that visit here. Boots? I just use the old Blundstone steel caps. Maybe I'll try some of the others one day but I'll have to wear my current pair out first. I always wear "sock savers" to keep the gravel, mulch, crusher dust etc out of my boots. I also wear ear protection (muffs or plugs) as I don't want to end up deaf.
