Dale reminded me today that these pictures were taken a few years ago, but that they could just as well be taken tomorrow.
From Dale, "If I still had the ranch, I'd still be using them the same way. ... [I would] get another team but only one tractor (for a front end loader)."

Team is on wagon built on pickup frame with a old truck bed on it. Leaders of a combine hitch. |

Didn't see any teams working in the bighole when I went through but it was on Sunday and only one crew was working. They had 6 power bucks and a beaverslide working. They usually figure on getting 200 ton in a stack a day which seems a little optimistic to me (I'd keep the crew if they got 150). |
Dale says, "Just a couple more pics my sis found."
Thanks, Dale!
