    Doosan dx55 stereo

    I figured it must have a code. Thanks. Funny that there isn't anything in the manual about it.

    Doosan dx55 stereo

    Anyone know how to reset the stereo in the dx 55. I took the battery out for the winter. Now the stereo has COD---- showing on the display. There is nothing in the manual as far as a code or any mention of the stereo except how to use it. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

    How do I move dirt from 150 foot long bar ditch to fence line?

    As stated you can clearly see utilities marked out. If you have no experience on machinery, you would not be able to complete the job any cheaper renting equipment. Hiring an experienced operator will turn out just as cheap as trying to do it yourself. They know the best way to do things and...

    fifth wheel plate or ball any preferences

    thanks for all the replies. One thing that is good is the truck has two back up cameras. One one the tailgate and one on the back of the cab. This should make it easier to hook up the trailer.

    Which telehandler is the RIGHT one?

    There is a switch on the left side of the dash that will take the auto neutral off when you press the brake. I seldom use it for the same reason as it make you jerky if you are on and off the brakes. I generally just switch to neutral when I am ready to scope out. Our th 460b is in an enclosed...

    anywhere take tires for free?

    Just bought a new set of 1400 24 for our telehandler. We bought bias ply and the upfront govt disposal charge was $47 per tire. The radials they quoted us we had a $125 disposal fee.

    fifth wheel plate or ball any preferences

    We have bought the new dodge 3500 dually. I came prepped for a fifth wheel which we plan on buying a gooseneck float to move our 5.5 ton excavator and 8 ton dozer. The kit the dealer showed us is a ball system which I am not familiar with. I have always seen the plate type fifth wheel similar to...

    radial or bias ply tires

    Thanks for your reply. We have ordered the bias ply. The tire shop confirmed your reply. The radials look more like a grader tire, which lots take the same size tire.

    radial or bias ply tires

    Our th460b needs new tires and I got a quote for both types of tires. The bias ply are quite a bit cheaper. There is nothing on our current tires that says what they are. The number on them is 14.00-24 tg. Just wondering what everyone else runs or any opinions. Thanks

    Travel time

    Our company policy is we pay our employees travel time on any job more than half hour from the town we are based out of. Being in construction you have to expect to have to travel to each site which I think a half hour is reasonable. After that the employee is spending his own time, his gas, and...
