    Portable shaker box screens

    Welcome (finally :) ) to the Forums PBE! Glad to have you. The only experience I have is using a friend of mine's EZ Screen not sure which model but one that could be towed by a 1 ton and a single rear axle. He screened tons of topsoil and it made a a very nice product. He fab'd up a...

    Starting a crane service

    Here at HEF we want to be a friendly exchange of information about HE and construction without politics and hotheads. From time to time we'll get a new member that's a hot head however they are short lived either voluntarily not returning or having to be shown the door. Just makes the Forum...

    Starting a crane service

    Here there a few big boys that have the helical pier market saturated. Probably room for a small independent contractor but one would have to counter market the barrage of junk mail, radio and tv commercials and bill boards every 2 miles from the big 2. The big outfits do crawlspace...

    Starting a crane service

    Very well. The hammer is well matched to the machine. Our 305 also has a manual QC and hydro thumb so it can get tippy as expected extended out. When we first bought the hammer I was impressed at how hard it hit. We have had zero issues with hyd hoses although we had to replace one hyd QC...

    Starting a crane service

    War Damn Eagle! BSCI grad here. We have a 305E with a B6 hammer that we use all the time. It's a small hammer but it does great on slabs and small trench rock. Use it 10X times more than the H140 GCs we have for the 325. A 305 sized machine is big enough to do real work and still able...

    Should I buy a Case 440-3 with some corrosion?

    I would stay away from this machine due to the corrosion, Case makes a great SSL and CTL. @KSSS runs them and will know alot more about the brand and the specific models. Sent a 533 roller and D5G dozer to the Gulf Coast many years ago for a couple of month project. The project wasn't on...

    Welcome to the Forums BL! Glad to have you. IMO - RUN don't walk away from that machine. That machine is nothing but heartburn and heartache that will drain you wallet.

    Land Clearing Florida advice

    Welcome to the Forums DD12! Glad to have you. IMO a 200 sized machine is too big on a tag behind a dump/roll off. Put a 321DLCR with thumb on a tag ONCE and will never do it again. As 135/315 sized machine is perfect for what you want to do. We only run reduced swing machines - currently...

    Starting a crane service

    Welcome to the Forums JD! Glad to have you. I graduated from Auburn several moons ago. Wife and I rent an apt for football season. We plan on retiring there one day. Can't afford anything more than an outhouse on Lake Martin.. No doubt Auburn is a booming place in addition to Lake Martin...

    0pinions on Equipment Unlimited in Oklahoma

    This thread has pushed a lot of hits to their website so it wasn't hard to narrow down a suspicious text (in their view) like yours and make an assumption. When these scammers get caught their English as a second language degrades rapidly and they expose themselves.
