    The Ultimate Small Dozer

    Wow! Scrolling back through this thread and wasn't expecting to see the cletrac. That was my post. Ended up selling it to a guy in Michigan for $4k.

    CAT 308C Serial Info

    Options it was built with, specifically the auxiliary hydraulics. From the pictures I've got it has two quick couplers with separate hoses on one side of the boom and only one on the other side.

    Anybody have the ability to lookup details on a cat aerial number for me? I tried through their website, but the tool seems to be broken. CAT0308CVKCX00483

    IDIGBEST reviews?

    When I talked with Sitech about a 2d system for our Kubota it was close to 15k. Up to 20 depending on options. 37k sounds like a base level 3d system.

    Max Weight on Tandem Tilt - Washington

    That's where I'm headed. I realized we always take at least two buckets and our Kubota has a helac tilt unit on it, so extra weight will be added. Hoping to go full on tilt rotator for the new machine. As for the trailer, tires and brakes are great. Deck need a few new boards, but we've...

    Max Weight on Tandem Tilt - Washington

    Less than $10k. Wouldn't sound like a deal a year or two ago, but in the current market that's great for the condition. I wasn't able to find the pictures I took of it in the fall, but I believe it was early-mid 90s and made in Idaho.

    Max Weight on Tandem Tilt - Washington

    Just to clarify, the trailer is 20 ton capacity with 25k axles. The tongue should be fine to handle the weight, but I will check the tag next time we look at it and see if it specifies max tongue weight. I do think we would be happy with an 8 ton machine and expect that is the route we will go...

    Max Weight on Tandem Tilt - Washington

    We have the opportunity to get a tandem tilt from a long time acquaintance who is retiring. He is willing to let it go cheap if we move his remaining equipment a couple times a year. The only thing I'm worried about is limiting us on a future excavator purchase. Right now our largest excavator...

    Advice for CDL A road test

    I'm going through this right now. Just got my training finished through my employer and need to setup a test. I will have to clarify with the DOL, but the examiners I have talked to said if your training is finished before the Feb 7th date you just have to pass your skills test before your CLP...

    best mini excavator opinions on the current market

    We've got a KX-040 that we like. It has been good for about 2 years with no real issues. Pros: Good digging power even with added tilt unit length So far everything has been easy to maintain. Exhaust doesn't Regen much if you run it throttled up when working. The 6 way blade is really handy for...

    Buying a 2021 333G or a 2021 TL12V2

    We have an older 322 that we really like and my brother has a 333g at work that he likes. From researching recently I would probably try out the takeuchi, but both are good machines. One thing I hate on the 333g is the swing out door. For how we use the skid steer, we are constantly getting in...

    Completely agree. That's goes a long ways towards another useful piece of equipment.

    Tag Tilt Options

    Finally got some quotes. Trailmax 25 ton with 22.5" wheels and front lift axle is $53,300. I've seen a lot of these around locally with 17.5s. Spring 2022 delivery. Felling 25 ton with the same wheels and lift is $61,350. Fall 2022 Delivery From looking online, I see an Olympic 25 ton with...

    Tag Tilt Options

    I don't think I have seen a tag with 22.5s. Is it more for the availability or does the smaller sidewall help when turning?
