    Cat E series excavators

    We had the machine onsite for a short period, but I was impressed with how quick the machine was. It was easily faster then the other D's that were onsite.

    Removing cab speaker in JCB214S

    I have a 99 and im guessing its the same. all you need to to remove is the front part of headliner that the speakers are in. theres a few screw heads around it and you also need to remove the interior mirror.

    choosing the right dozer

    Those 650J's are real nice machines. I ran one loaded out with a full cab last summer for a bit it was smoother then any cat G series machine.

    Wanted: Grader that fits do-mor 707 loader

    Alright yea i kind of figured that they wouldnt want to split them up. The whole value of the machine is with the blade on it.

    Wanted: Grader that fits do-mor 707 loader

    http://www.rockanddirt.com/equipment-for-sale/DO-MOR/none/invnum=35532852 The add isnt for just the backblade, but theres a chance they may be willing to sell the blade.

    1995 CAT 928F loader

    With only 2000 hours on a 17 year old machine you should be golden unless the loader was beat on left and right.

    Snow removal question.

    Its a thought, one thing is a dozer doesnt have much speed and if you just put rubber pads on your tracks I dont see much traction happening. I could be wrong though

    Reclaimed asphalt as gravel on driveway?

    I would reccomend RAP in a second for a rural driveway. It binds great and if you have a way of compacting it well after the initial grading, there will be minimal grading needed. As for any needed grading it would depend on what type of machine youll be using to grade.

    Plannin on purchasing my first backhoe

    Being an 05 its hard to believe but, but maybe they still had parts built when they were fermec's and yellow. Our 01 is yellow and says fermec but other then that its identical to the terexs today.

    Plannin on purchasing my first backhoe

    Another brand to take a look at for your price range is terex(fermec before 02). They are not the top of the line machines out there like jcb, deere, cat, or case but they will get the job done. We have a 2001 fermec 760 loaded out with heat and air with no problems.

    Backhoe preference? New Holland LB115 or JCB 214 S Series

    Dealer support in michigan is really not much of an issue. AIS equipment has dealers spaced out pretty well and are very quick for parts.

    Backhoe preference? New Holland LB115 or JCB 214 S Series

    I have always been a JCB fan and have a 99 214s. I dont have any experience operating a new holland but i have climbed in a lb 115 before and the one thing that i did not like about it was the foot clearance when you spin around for the backhoe seemed very small. I only wear a size 11 boot and...

    D6N vs 750J

    I can not say much about the 750 but I have been on a job with a D6N and for the fairly small size of that dozer it was real impressive in what it would push.
