I want a newer telehandler possibly Gradall for pivot steering or a used 944E. Lull. In this economy it may be tough to part with much $$$ but I see stuff so cheap :eek: it is great or it's bad I can't decide.:confused: Sad to see private people / companies have to give stuff away.

Dreaming I'll take a new JLG 12,000 lb. telehandler or a new Lull 1062.:falldownlaugh :roll

AND Happy New Year to all! Wish you all good health and properous year!

Mmm I want a giant excavator . . Take that back any excavator will do!!! Or a little skid steer ^.^ those things are fun hahaha. As for the brand and model, eh I'm not picky I just want one!! I asked my dad if he'd get me an excavator for Christmas . . He laughed at me >.< . *Sigh* guess I'll just have to wait. . . Although this has nothing to do with equipment at all :p I really really want a horse!!! I been askin for one since I was like 4 every Christmas and Birthday lol. But alas Santa has not brought me one :( . . .

I always wanted to operate a big hydraulic excavator and wreck something. My friend has one I should try to dig a hole with.

I would like a new Deere 160D with quick coupler, Hyd Thumb, 28" pads, and all the bells and whistles. Or a new 310SJ TMC that would be sweet too!

Thats what I'd like to have equipment wise, but what I'd really like to have is work for the equipment I already have...

I asked for new boots at Christmas and socks is what I got. For New Years I'll ask for a new service truck and hope a pick-up shows.
:drinkup Happy New Year!

Stumpjumper, Better wish for a warranty with it as well;) We had a couple on the last corps contract and one was on it's second set of injectors at 500 hours. The Cat mechanic said that they were having a lot of trouble with those C9's. D6R with the 3306 was a better machine IMHO.

Your too late Eddie , you were supposed to sit on the big guy's knee a few days ago and tell him what you wanted . You will have to wait till next year now , that will give you time to enlarge the chimney to take the hoe (hoe hoe :p)

I'd like for us to be able to break into the full size equipment business, with something like a 315 or 314 OR possibly Volvo 140, 160 and a D5K..... and LOTS of work for them and the machines we already have!!!

I'd settle for this new 450D LC Deere Hoe their promising me... although the 850D would do as well. But if the fat man could find me a 973D Track Loader..... I'd consider it a present for 2 years before I want another one.

My wish list would depend a lot on who is paying the bills. If Santa is paying, I'll take a new very large long reach excavator, a couple of new Morooka dumpers, and a new three or four deck gravel screener capable of separating four or five products at one time. If I'm paying, maybe an old Morooka and a beat up old screener.

What kind of work do you do with the reach and the track dumpers?

Too much on my list;

Tandem dump truck, 30' triple axle trailer, Cat D4. That would get me through for another year or so.
