Conexpo Open Day 4!

Hello all - not sure what happened last night - I created a post but perhaps did not press the final button to post it.  Sorry about that...

Some more news from the show.  Made the trek to see the CCM Booth - which is located in the South Hall in the furthest corner away from our booth.  Bob Peterson had the 992 Loader, the new Coal Loader model.  Also got to see the winch attachment for the D7 model as well as some of the samples of the "bad" D9H models.  Bob pointed out the flaws in the machines - and it was easy to see why they were rejected.  The colors were off on the models as well as having some other problems.  Bob tells me that the primer used was not what they requested and that caused the color variations.  I did confirm that ALL of the models were destroyed.  Gary Peterson supervised the actual crushing of the models.









Also checked out the Rogers Trailers, Nelson Trailers, Mack, Kenworth and many other booths.  Check out some of the photos below from my travels in the halls.  Enjoy!

Will have more info tomorrow - BTW - the first photo shows the staff at the booth!!
