    wain-roy tilt bucket

    Trackhoe71........"wain-roy" is basically a coupling system. You can get a tilt bucket to fit any style coupler system. Amulet makes a good tilt bucket with twin cylinders vs. one cylinder mounted on top and encased. Some companies mount their cylinder on the back side of the bucket and it is...

    Chain Binders?

    binders.....chains for a quick look at rules and regs for chains I have found this site useful: 1st-chainsupply.com. I believe (at least we do) that in order to be compliant, you must prevent your machine from moving forward on the deck........so we add one more chain to the rear of the machine...

    Thumb?

    thumbs I have a 18,000 lb machine and the weight of the thumb is 180 lbs plus the weight of the cylinder. I personally could not live without it and do not really notice diminished capacity when loading material. The added advantage overall is well worth the extra weight. In fact, I am in the...

    Fuel Cell There are plastic boat fuel cells that could be mounted underneath the trailer between the frame rails. This could also be done with an aluminum cell, depending on the depth of your trailer frame.

    Biodiesel

    KomatsuKid....although I use pure vegetable oil, I am still a neophyte and can not answer that with a definative answer. I got my set up from Charlie at greasel.com which is now www.goldenfuels.com. I would have to defer. I just run veggie oil in my dump truck and not my equipment. Although the...

    Biodiesel

    Yes sir, I ran it all last winter and this winter also. I had one incident of gel in when the temps dropped to -4 here because I forgot to put anti-gel in the oil. I changed the filter and put the rig in my heated shop to thaw it all out, and then ran it the rest of the winter with no problems.

    Biodiesel

    Biodiesel/WVO I had a conversion system put on my dump truck about 3 years ago so I can burn either waste vegetable oil or diesel (both stored in separate tanks on the truck). It has worked well for me. I filter my own waste vegetable oil down to 5 microns absolute, and then filter it again...

    dual plane laser grading

    JBL.....thanks. I have a few more questions. What size tractor do you use? Do you think a tractor is better than a wheeled skid? How would a tractor compare to using a ctl? What size slabs does the laser grading system start to fall short? Thanks for your time and input....
