    Tow behind air compressors

    I'm in the market for a new 400 cfm air compressor but don't know much about the different brands. I have good support for Doosan, Atlas Copco and Sullair I'm hoping to get some feed back from anyone who spends time running or repairing these options as to what seems to hold up the best. Any...

    Steel tracks

    I had steel tracks on my 299, thought they would be great as I work in a lot of rock. You're limited to single speed because they'll grenade your machine with vibration otherwise. I couldn't have the side windows open because of how loud they were and they wear on the chains I think because of...

    Kobelco loader

    Can anyone give an opinion on Kobelco loaders in general, there is one for sale a hundred or so miles from me, didn't know if it would be worth the drive to look at. I've never seen one before in my area. Thanks

    CAT 320D or 320FL

    I picked up a 320 cl a few months ago with 72 hrs. on it, verified by cat, just couldn't resist. It didn't have aux. hydraulics but I cured that.

    rock drill

    Has anyone been around a Fraste mito 8 drill? I'm wondering how it would do drilling hard rock for expanding grout application. I'm not finding any new drills available for blast holes at all, they are all out until 6 to 12 months. The Fraste sonic drill is the only one I have found available...

    Deere 135G

    I've been running mine for 6 years without a single problem, granted no def, but it's a good machine. I might buy another one to put a rock drill on.

    322C thumb plumbing options QCs used?

    I have the exact same scenario, wanting to put aux hyds on a 320cl, pin grabber and pro link thumb. the machine has been at the cat dealer for over three weeks and I still don't have a quote from them, very annoying. If you don't mind letting me know what you were quoted I'd appreciate

    Ford ltl9000 low air buzzer

    Thanks Guy's, got to poking around in there yesterday, pretty sure I found it. Just not getting power to it, I didn't check at the pressure switch yet, I wish I was three feet tall so I could lay on the floor and get at the switches behind the ducting, the guys that designed that location are...

    Cat parts source

    Thanks for the replies, it looks like the quote is reasonable, the motor is complete and on a pallet. there was no machining figured but did include a new water and oil pump also new turbo. Guess I better just suck it up.

    Cat parts source

    I was hoping someone might have a good source for OEM parts for an overhaul on a 3406b that I want to do. The local dealer quoted me $21,000 to do the job, I picked up 12 exhaust manifold studs and the gaskets for the water pump assm and oil cooler at a cost of $435 dollars seemed high but maybe...
