    Unloading 30,500 lb table

    Left side, plan did not survive first contact, they were supposed to be 19,500 each then found they were 30k, figured with 2 machines we could get them on the ground. But then the auction loaded them standing up which you know raised the height. Oh well it’s done and time to get the helper on...

    Unloading 30,500 lb table

    1 of them is going outside to be cut in half and welded end to end. Will make a nice blasting table and beating the hell out of stuff table. The other one will be 10x13 when it’s cut down and inside

    Unloading 30,500 lb table

    Went and tried to use the new 210-P excavator and it said nope, added the Kubota M6-111 and the box said nope! Ended up calling a crane to come unload them. Ended up with 2 toombstone boxes to cut in half to make a 10x26 welding table and 2 10x13 tables. Got 2 horizontal fixture jigs at the...

    Cat 325 vs Deere 210 P and 250 P

    Y Yes brand new October of 2021, it has powertrain and hydraulics but not all the electronics on it. The touch screen went out and it was like $2700 to have replaced. I’m nervous about keeping it with the small electrical grimlins that it’s had. Correct only 88 hours on it currently

    Cat 325 vs Deere 210 P and 250 P

    I know we have talked about sizes before, I’m at the point my 315 gc is 2 years old and out of warranty with only 88 hours on it. I was going to get a new 325 but the cat dealer is playing stupid games. John Deere came in offering me a 210 P fully loaded for 40k less and same price as the 325...

    12-16 ton dump trailers

    ended up with the r3 tractor style tires, I really like that they do not slide around on the side hills only downside is the mud clods falling off down the drive way

    12-16 ton dump trailers

    we are over 1000 yards moved since the trailer arrived, No issues at all, really kinda wishing I went bigger with the trailer but this setup seems like the perfect size combo for each other.

    12-16 ton dump trailers

    We have been moving 10 yard loads all morning without the tailgate and it’s a perfect setup. For these flat loads I kinda wish I got the 16 ton trailer. I have a couple 1 mile trip loads to do this afternoon and will be able to give good feedback. I ordered the trailer without brakes at the...
