    New to me deere 27D.....my first excavator

    I have about 60 hours operating rubber tracked excavators. I know I've got to be careful on sharp rocks, or anything that might tear up the track. A 12" bucket is at the top of my list. I need all the digging pressure I can get out of her...

    New to me deere 27D.....my first excavator

    So I've just picked up my first excavator, mostly for personal use. Its for 2600 hours, new tracks, some new hydraulic lines, an 18" dig and 36" smooth edge buckets, and seems to be in reasonable condition for an 09. All the other equipment I own came with manuals, so I'm trying to source...

    Moving my equipment....

    I would probably never move these things further than 30 miles. I just need a reasonable method of moving them. I'm not making money, its not a business. Its more for family, friends, repairs, and the multipurpose use if the truck. I'm calling today to find out the requirements for registering...

    Moving my equipment....

    I've got 9 acres. I'm looking into a farm truck. In the end, I can pay my local guy to haul the machines, but I want a truck for convince and to utilize for other big projects on my land. I think for me, a farm truck is the only way to go. I do raise rabbits for meat.....maybe I'm a rabbit...

    Moving my equipment....

    Right, that's why I was looking at light industrial trucks of the ramp truck variety. No tilt bed. I found a cargostar, but its a 34000gvw. And comes in around 13k tare weight.

    Moving my equipment....

    The truck would be multi purpose. Hauling a bunch of quads to the dunes, lumber packages, just general hauling. Its sole purpose would not be the machines. I currently use a local guy for $120 an hour, and it works but adds up.

    Moving my equipment....

    I imagine your professionals get this a lot from us amatures, but asking anyway. I have two 16k lb machines, that I use on my property for personal use. I would like to be able to transport these on occasion to friends and family's properties. Being that I have no CDL, and cannot go past 26,000...

    Case 450B with 4 in 1 bucket - First machine!!!!!!!!!

    Looks like my pins are at 24.25", so I pleased with that. Also, it appears there were two options for filters on that model. So I'm good. When turning these machines, I use the hi-lo for most of my turning and only use the brakes when absolutely necessary. Its this correct? I'd rather avoid...

    Case 450B with 4 in 1 bucket - First machine!!!!!!!!!

    So I bought 9 acres of land and am going to build a small house. The land is all wooded, so I need to do a lot of clearing. I decided I should just buy a machine as I will be using it a lot over the next few years. I found this Case 450B with a 4 in 1 bucket a few miles from the house. After...
