Are you good with heavy machinery?

[Grant]

Would you say you are good with heavy machinery? Maybe you are good with a forklift, or driving a bulldozer even. If you have the skills to maneuver a big bulldozer for example, it will likely result in some good pay. I hear heavy machine operators make a lot of money, especially if it's a dangerous machine to handle. Anyway, are you good with heavy machinery? If so, what are you able to use?

I've been working with heavy machinery for about five years now, and I'd say I'm pretty good at it. I started with forklifts and gradually moved on to larger equipment like bulldozers and excavators. The pay is indeed quite good, especially when you have experience with more complex and dangerous machines.

Most of my projects involve construction and landscaping. I prefer using used equipment because it’s more cost-effective and still gets the job done well. Recently, I found some great deals on used backhoe loaders. I ended up choosing a couple of models, like the Caterpillar 420F and the John Deere 310L, both priced around $35,000.

I have never operated big machines like bull dozer or road roller. In fact I have not even drove a loader or dumpster.
