    Counterweights on CAT 259D - weight ratings

    Anyone here own a Tobin flip blade?

    I’m sure a lot of us have seen the videos. Iv heard of mixed reviews, but I’d like to buy one, or modify a 3pt blade from a tractor. Or if anyone knows of a used one forsale...

    Service body setup ideas

    I guess I haven’t really looked into them. I did think of a 110 generator and a 110 compressor.

    Service body setup ideas

    I know this subject has been talked about a few times, but instead of hijacking an old thread, I figured I’d start my own. First things first, I bought a ‘04 f350 4x4 with a 9.5’ Knapheide service body. I’m currently having a 250 gal fuel and 55 gal def tanks built to be flush with the top of...

    Gold Rush D10

    I'm willing to bet it was fake. Create some bs drama about their main machine going down. I was expecting them to buy Parkers d10. And what happened to the d475? Never see it anymore.

    Gold Rush D10

    I thought he owned the claim it was on? Didn't he own the claim that dip**** Todd mined a few seasons back?

    Converting triple axle gooseneck to tandem duals?

    Iv got a 34' pj gooseneck with triple single tires, and rather taking a bath trying to sell it and buy a tandem dual trailer, I figure why not convert it. I figure get 2 12k or 15k axles, rip off the old suspension and start from scratch. Or am I opening up a can of worms here?

    Gold Rush D10

    Well it's that time of the year again. Time for the show that makes me annoyed every time I watch it, but yet I dvr it every week. I see the producers still think a 460cl Volvo cost $160k and has the engine of a 70's d9. They will say d10 this d10 that, but never give reference to the 2...

    Adding more counterweight to 259d

    My 259d has the factory weight package, 2 weights per side, but still seams pretty light in the ass, I know I'm trying to lift more than the machine is rated for, but I don't do it a lot, just lifting my derby cars off my gooseneck trailer. Anyone tried to just add another 2 weights per side...

    Maybe I missed it, but why did you decide to go the 6nz route over the 5ds?

    If you don't mind me asking, what's a 15.8 going for these days? And I'm assuming those are all rebuilt?

    Tilt bed experiences

    Iv been looking for a good quality bumper hitch tilt bed. Something to haul the 259d and attachments around on, but also I want to haul cars and pickups too. From my experience it seams equipment tilt beds have a shorter deck, and can be a pain for loading a full size pickup. Iv pulled a...
