    Buying a 8 ton, need to sign papers this week on one or the other. Machines would be a 2012 KX080-3 vs a 2013 Bobcat E80-E85. Apparently bobcat is remodeling the E80 this year, some of the upgrades include: Auxiliary hydraulics off the floor to the joystick, float blade, keypad ignition...

    Bobcat E80???

    Looking at getting a bobcat E80 or E60. Leaning toward the bigger E80 but there is not a lot of information on these machines. I know they are just rebranded doosan DX80 machines but I dont know how they stack up against the other machines in this class. The thing is that I have a really good...

    tag trailer behind truck

    I agree, all I'm saying is: lets assume this guy is smart enough to know not to pull a trailer without brakes. I know you can get 25ton trailers in electric brakes, they are not common but they are around. In that case I think a heavy duty pickup would do just fine.

    tag trailer behind truck

    I tell you this much, I will be using my pickup truck to pickup my trailer next week for the same reason you want to. I have a 4.5hr drive and like you, I really don't want to drive my dump that far if I don't have to. That being said my trailer is a tandem dually 15ton with electric brakes. I...

    mini ex to dig big hole

    Only problem with that would be getting the material out of a 8' hole, it would reach up there but you wouldnt be able to put much up before you had to pull it back away from the hole or it would start falling back in...

    mini ex to dig big hole

    I would start on one end of the "trench" and dig down 3-4' and make a bit of a ramp at one end into the "trench" so you can climb back out. With 8 feet of width you would be able to dig down to 14' and swing the material up and out of the hole, then just work your way back out and up the ramp...

    Here is a picture PJ sent me so I could see what the trailer would look like. This is a 25' unit, mine is a 30'. Due to the extra 5' they use a larger Ibeam 19lb if i remember right, frame bridging is also standard on any trailer longer then 25'. Hopefully it is a good trailer....

    I called them, they didnt seem too interested. They gave me a phone number to arbour welding, and told me to talk to Arbour welding about trailers and if that didnt work out to call them back. Seems like another company that is not interested in my money... I think I'm going to order a PJ...

    Bobcat E42

    Tom is correct, The E55 is also made by Bobcat, when I priced my machine I priced an e42 and e50, I think the difference is around $10,000. Dig depth is the only thing I find really disappointing with the e42, it only has 4" more dig depth then the 331 which is a fair bit smaller (Long arm on...

    help buying a tag trailer

    so I think i have it narrowed down to either a PJ or Gatormade trailer. The other guys dont seem to interested in taking my $15,000. My gatormade dealer that I was talking with said that he could take a 12 ton trailer and upgrade the tires to a heavier tire which would enable him to rate the...

    help buying a tag trailer

    i have been looking for used ones but it is very hard to find one that is 30' long with electric brakes. For me to buy something out of the states is the same as buying locally, canadian dollar is basically the same as the USD, I would just have to pay the taxes at thr boarder.
