Ouch. I bought a new Deere 35g in January with two buckets, thumb, cab, long arm for $53k out the door.

Nice, everyone around here uses the lightest SDR they can get or even sometimes that real thin drainage crap from like HD.
We fixed an interceptor a while back where they came in with the drainage and made the inlet and outlet tees with it too, the pump guys finally busted the outlet off, and of course the outlet side was tucked tight too a concert retaining wall lol
Of course! it wouldn't be any other way would it?
...ACIPCO, US Pipe and McWane...
Lol I forgot about their plants down there, that'll do it.
The Perkins engine plant is near me, and a guy I know who does similar contracting to CM got on their list of preferred contractors. One condition was he had to use Cat equipment, and if Cat didn’t make it, it had to have a Perkins engine. Another outfit turned up with a Komatsu 210 with a tree shear, it got turned back at the gate. JCB have a similar policy. They had a fire at the Rochester factory and at the time the only demo shear in the UK high enough to do the job was mounted on a Cat high-reach. It was only allowed on site after every Cat logo was taped over, which only drew attention to the job.I was working for them in that time frame. I have a feeling that some snoot probably stuck their nose in maybe. In that time frame we had plenty of contractors working in Tukwila on the yards in the back that used all manner of iron to get the job done. I'm pretty sure the corporate people wouldn't have cared unless some mucky muck from Caterpillar came around. All the corporate people cared about is money and who gets credit for something for the owner to hear about.
