    Ap255e

    Does anyone use the cat ap255 for patching or side walks. We have both 1055d and a 655c with the topcon system 5 I was wondering if you can set up the 255 with the same automation. It would make sidewalk paving easier.

    Check the scale on your plans

    We just had a set of drawings given to us two weeks ago that was shrunk and pretty much unreadable. We happened to have a new plotter delivered the next day. Called the engineer for the PDFs and printed the whole set off to scale in 5 mins.

    How good are backhoe attachments?

    We had one years ago on a bobcat 943 ( before the mini was popular). Wasn't all that bad definitely beat a shovel pretty good for digging under slab plumbing where you couldn't fit a big backhoe

    906h2

    We went with the 906 because of the height at 8'6 to work in the parking garage we were on. We brought about 1000 yds of gravel in with it in 2 days which was pretty good and sold us on it

    906h2

    We got the first one to work in a parking garage. And since then it has done two drainage jobs the nice part is you can shut down a lane and still keep traffic moving. It will carry a 8' sump catch basin no problem. Pretty strong for their size. We also have a side dump bucket for them.

    Water and sewer loader?

    We haven't had a problem yet. They are quick and seem to be faster over the road than the 950 so far it seems like a good loader. The outfit with 13 wa380's runs a mix of cat komatsu and volvo excavators. We have an all cat fleet with one komatsu and 3 Deere backhoes
