    dump, hook, dumpster truck ... opinions and advice needed

    THANKS, With that box the empty weight is about 17,000, so the payload is good for 8 tons. The hook is a swaploader 2418HD, its a heavier unit but its double pivot so it dumps like a dumptruck which is what we use it for most of the time. We might do 10 to 15 deliveries a day with it but only...

    JD724 or cat962 or volvoL120

    We just replaced a 950H that had a bunch of issues and electrical problems with a 962H. Its not a bad machine, we use it for loading screening plants and preparing material. It is a lot better balanced machine than the 950H was. We also have a 950G thats a lot nicer feeling machine than the...

    JCB/Sellick Teletruck

    I tested a 35 (7000lb) all wheel drive. It was a really good machine, that model was a little to long for my application. I have 6 regular forklifts now and I really want it more for the winter months because of the all wheel drive and extra reach if there is snow on the ground. I would...

    what loader would be best

    We bought a '67 950 in '85 with about 15,000 hours on it and in need of a motor job. Ran it screening and loading materials in the yard for seven years, never did the motor. Sold it to a friend in '92 who was going to load one or two trailers a day with it, he still has it...And, still no...

    Snow Plowing

    I took care of 2-5 shopping centers a year for about twelve years. All of them were no more than fifteen minutes from the yard which was great if you needed another piece or had to fix something. I found some of the best $$$ was in the salting and sanding part of the storm. If it took us six...

    1975 White Western Star dump truck

    You might get lucky with the manual if you keep checking ebay every now and then. Alot of those swithches that dont do anything now might've been from things added to the truck over the years and maybe not there anymore, lights, spreader, plow, etc. See if you can trace the wires off the dash...

    2008/2009 Cummins ISX

    The truck pretty much sits there and High idles for a little over a half hour, I only saw it regen once and there was no smoke at all, of course its still low mileage, low hours. Exhaust temp gets up to around 1400 degrees I think. Like I said before, its amazing that the stacks are still...

    2008/2009 Cummins ISX

    Yes it tells you when its ready. You have a window of time to do it in, if you miss that window it will do it itself the next time you set air brakes. Most of time it sits in the yard to regen because we do a lot of local stuff, never really out on the highway. Mines in a mixer, it has...
