I'd rather have tools that I don't need, than not have the tools I do need.

Im thinking tandem drive, heart says GM, head says cat or cummins,
Not real fussy, is there the work?
I really got the burn after talking with the fellas that excavated across the road from me, old plastic cabbed A and a ford stirling type banger,
didnt get numbers, but they loved the work.
Im in melbourne.
Open to suggestions, floggings etc
Thanks in advance.

I'll pass on to you the advice I was given years ago when considering a career change.
Try to expose yourself to it without risk or taking away from your current employment.
So in your case, it might mean to see if you can get some Saturday work driving casual for someone. I believe Hansons here in Sydney are short of Saturday drivers for their mixers which are all auto btw.
That way you might get a taste to see if the grass is greener...
Good luck in your travels

Swishy, your on the money with the extra's, I had a broom on my old skiddy, got a heap of work from that alone (the chainsaw was a bous too, believe it or not!)

As a side note one of my Nephews gets around FNQ in a tipper and bobby cleaning out stormwater drains during the dry season makes a good buck out of it although he does slip in and get orridly deep sometimes and the Taipans omg don't leave ya windows open lol, stinkin dirty job but hey the cash is clean.
