But mostly we collect books. Touring our area libraries, we are rewarded with a truckload worth of choices. One library has an entire shelf labeled "Transportation." Elated, we bring home Diggers and Dump Trucks; Heavy Equipment: Work Trucks; Mighty Machines; and Construction Zone, their pages wrinkled and much-mended. In his fervor, Riley puts his mark on Mighty Machines, ripping the giant blue excavator right through the bucket. I get out the tape. I''m amused to see how many of these books have been written by women, and I''m pleased that they are, as a whole, informative, fun, and much less sexist than I had imagined. Which is good, because we read them over and over. Laura despairs. But I recall that my mother had to read Captain Kitty to me until she could recite it verbatim, so why should I be spared?

In the compact backhoes, a much higher percentage of machines are coming from overseas suppliers. Terramite is the leading supplier in this category, and it produces its machines in West Virginia. Nebraska''s Allmand Bros. is another strong domestic supplier. Three other smaller suppliers -- Dig-It, Waldon and Ingersoll Equipment (not to be confused with Ingersoll-Rand) -- also manufacture in the US. The three top suppliers -- Terramite, Kubota and Allmand Bros. account for over 80 percent of the machines sold annually The other five companies in the market fight for the balance of what is left, although that will likely change soon in my opinion.
