Rather than just buying new “films” from the dealer, we decided to veer off from the norm and get some retro tones going! We always hear of the “block c” referred to as the Cat “Pac-Man” logo. The previous owners had scratched a fair amount of the stickers so it was time to peel off and replace. I was fortunate enough to pick up this slightly used dozer earlier this summer, and it needed some new stickers. When Cat upgraded their logo to the next design in the late 80's early 90s, it was a cool move as it needed refreshing".ĭane continued "The D6XE is kind of the “cats meow” of dozers. I also rode along while he ran the motor graders like 140s, 140g etc. I don’t remember the dozer exactly, but I know it had the old pac man logo on it. Dane explained how it all came about, "When I was a young kid (3-4 years old) I remember always wanting to ride the dozer with my dad. Most recently Dane has had his Cat D6XE touched up and opted to have her kitted out with the much loved, old school Caterpillar Pac-Man livery. The company also run a new John Deere 245G LC hydraulic excavator which is also sporting an Engcon tiltrotator and Trimble Earthworks GPS system. The fleet of machines has expanded significantly since then, and now includes a number of Cat dozers and a new Cat 323 Next Gen excavator which is equipped with Trimble Earthworks GPS and an Engcon tiltrotator and a new Next Gen 310 excavator with Engcon. Proud American Dane, is one of the many great individuals on Instagram, that make it a great place to engage with likeminded people with a passion for the equipment, and if memory serves me right, I had the pleasure of meeting him briefly in person in one of the exhibition halls at Conexpo/Con Agg in Las Vegas earlier this year, one of my biggest regrets is that we didn’t have a good long chat on the day, due to the fact I was having to rush off to another stand for a meeting!ĭane has a long history in the excavation industry which led him to form his own business, DC Excavation early in 2016, originally starting out with a single Cat tracked skidsteer.
