    Which CTL for pool excavation.

    I purchased a 289D a couple of weeks ago that I really like so far. It replaced a Kubota SVL 75 with about 2500 hrs that was beginning to have issues and the dealers around here (North Atlanta) don't seem to understand the speed of service needed for folks who make money with their equipment vs...

    Transport Question

    Do you still need the machine hauled back to Atl? The guy I use is making a delivery to Moorefield, WVA in about 8/9 days and coming back to North Atlanta.

    Pressure washer water feed question?

    I have a 250 gallon poly tank, which I put on the truck and place the pressure washer on the ground. The gravity flow has always worked fine for me.

    Question about sending stuff to the landfill

    If it will get into the bucket, I put it in the can. A few years ago I loaded an old Ford Courier pick up in to a 40 yard along with some house demo debris. I also burried an old underground heating oil tank in with some demo debris. I did have the tank pumped, but there was still oil pouring...

    Question on site work

    Actually, I think I remember my father saying that line as he chewed a couple of dozen TUMS each day!

    Question on site work

    The type of sites I bid require a hard bid on everything. Mostly 1-3 acre commercial sites for fast food, banks and strip centers. The restaurants typically start within a couple of weeks of bid, so it's not too bad. Some of the developer work is months off into the permitting abyss(I'm in...

    How did you get your start as an operator?

    I am new here, but this thread had me going down memory lane. Like several of you, I had a huge project in my backyard with the Tonkas. I had the 1/2" and 3/4" conduit for storm drain, with 4" PVC catch basins. My family was in the road building business in Columbus, GA, so whenever I was...
