Congratulations to Day Construction as they celebrate 30 years in the business!
A little history on Day Construction (taken from the 2007 Fast Trucking 50th Anniversay Book)
In 1952 Tony and his brother Willie bought a DC4 Cat. Tony only ran it when he wasn't working rigs or on the farm. Tony moved to the Carnduff area in 1956, leaving Willie the cat to run.
In 1979 Tony thought that having a cat to help move rigs was the only thing to do, so he purchased a D7E Cat from Cameron Collins and started to do lease work as there were no Cats around. Tony has increased his construction equipment to four DC8 Cats, five D7's, four D6's and one D9, graders, excavators and crapers.
In 1986, Willie passed away, leaving Tony the D4 Cat. It is in runnig condition and sits proudly in front of the shop.
Tony built one of the first hydraulic 6-way blades on the D4. (You should see it!)
