    Kenworth or Mack

    My preference is Mack over the KW any day. Can’t give you a reason other than I have and like Mack’s.

    Sorry for your loss. Sounds like this man was an awesome individual that will be missed by all who where around him.

    Cost of Owning vs Renting vs Hauling equipment

    I hate renting for the shear hassle of having to hopefully get done what is needed on a timeline and get the rented item back before time rolls to the next day. The whole process can be time consuming and the rental items break down a lot as well. Normal procedure for me, after 1 or 2...

    Trunion repair?

    Thanks everyone. I was able to locate the aftermarket clamps and the weldment for the push arms. Heavyquip will supply them. The clamps are $250 and the weldments for the push arms run $420 per side.

    Trunion repair?

    A new complete trunion with the bolt on bracket less clamps and hardware is $4600 from Deere for each side. Am getting some aftermarket prices next. Have found a couple excellent condition used ones in salvage for $250 apiece.

    Trunion repair?

    I have bought a JD850C dozer that the trunion balls that connect the push arms have been neglected and wore down creating a lot of slop. Can these trunion balls be welded back up to fit new end caps and get any life out of them or is this a waste of time?

    Load King lowboy

    I have bought a new to me 2000 Load King folding neck lowboy. It has its own hydraulics that are powered by a Honda engine or it can be connected to the wet kit on the tractor. I am having a heavy duty set of rear ramps installed on it also so we do not have to detach for the smaller equipment...

    17" lowboy tires?

    Thanks Randy. I passed on that trailer with the 17.5 tires, just for most of the reasons you listed. I ended up getting a Load King Tri axle folding neck with 22.5 rubber and in the process of building a set of hydraulic ramps for the back end. I haul a mix of heavy items and lighter...

    Final drive problem

    Have not had a chance to open it up yet, planning on possibly this week. I did check to see if it was pressurized or overfill and it was not, so I am hoping it is just a seal. Will post an update ASAP. Thanks for your help !!
