    How to load a small dozer onto a semi flatbed trailer?

    I think he would only have to pay for the loaded mileage. Unless he gets a local guy who has to deadhead there. I'm not up on freight rates but uship has a calculator for it. http://www.uship.com/shipping-affiliate-program/quote-widget/

    How to load a small dozer onto a semi flatbed trailer?

    For the cost of hiring a tow truck or building ramps, plus fuel cost for the semi, you are going to spend quite a bit. Might as well just hire a hot shot hauler who has a trailer with a dovetail and ramps to bring it to you for about the same expense, and you don't have to mess with it.

    95 acre land clearing job

    To pick up all that small stuff you might try making a rake to use with an ag tractor. Take an old chisel plow and move all the tines to the back row and mount them as close together as possible. You end up with a very heavy duty rake. I bought a chisel plow last year for what it was worth as...

    Radiator hoses D4H 9GJ 555

    We're they able to specify that the 6I-1783 is the lower hose? I assumed it was the lower because the price was cheaper than the 6I-1782 which would be a larger and more expensive pipe. I'm curious what is the purpose of the sound suppression attachment? I always wondered why my machine had the...

    Radiator hoses D4H 9GJ 555

    What you have with the taller radiator is according to SIS "PART OF 9U-8576 SUPPRESSION AR-SOUND & A/C AN ATTACHMENT". 6I-1783 I believe is the part number for the lower hose. I'm thinking 6I-1782 is the top one. I could have those backwards because there is no picture reference for these in the...

    Machine Operating cost??? Per hour? Without operator?

    I found this posted here some time back. I thought it worked pretty well to give a general idea of cost. There will be more factors involved to get your exact number. Anyway, here's the link http://decisivecost.com/Calculator/Calculator1.aspx

    650J Over Heating

    When they get start to lose effiency I like to pull the radiator out and wash the fins out real good. Then lay the radiator down flat and fill it with muriatic acid and let it soak for 15 minutes, then wash out really good. You can only do this with a copper radiator. The acid will eat up an...

    The suck bucket

    I made one of these last night. It made the task of changing the chaincase oil in my bobcat much easier. Just a tip for anyone doing the same, jack up the rear of the machine so all the oil runs to the front.

    Lowballers!

    CM 1995, you're pretty close on price of containers. Last year a 30 cy cost me $300. Seems like demo prices have gone down more and more every year as these guys compete with each other. I had heard on this particular job that the demo waste was being dumped in a hole out in the country. We are...

    Lowballers!

    Where I live, the city has old dilapidated houses that they have aquired demolished several times a year. I'm not a demo guy but I saw some of the bids for some of these and really didn't know what to think. They were seeking bids for the demolition of 8 houses at different locations across...

    Tracks Plus?

    I bought a set for my S185 last year. I don't have any experience with any other brands so I have nothing to compare them to but I think they're great. I chose them purely for the price. I had looked at used sets that people had priced very close to what these are new. The quality seems to be...

    Hydraulic quick-disconnects: Is there a standard size and orientation for trailers?

    I Use 1" lines on my dump trailer and my detach. These are the connectors I use and I see many others also using. http://www.discounthydraulichose.com/4100_Series_Wet_Line_Couplings_p/4100-set.htm As far as M or F for Pressure and return lines I am not really sure. I have had them hooked up both...
