    Best Plate compactor for 7 ton excavator?

    Hey guys. Looking at plate compactors for my Kubota 057. I've ran across a couple Indeco IHC75's. Anyone have any experience? They almost look identical to an allied or something? Are the indecos produced by someone else..or vice versa? Thanks

    Smallest mini with longest dig depth?

    Most of the problem is not having the room to put the extra dirt in a residential application

    Smallest mini with longest dig depth?

    Hi. Yes, I have a CDL B (up to 26gvwr) but not an A. I get your point about shelving down to get more depth. Problem is the yards are usually pretty tight and I wouldn't have enough space to put the dirt i dug out from under the machine plus the extra i'm now digging down to get to that 14ft...

    Smallest mini with longest dig depth?

    The 18k machine would put me in a CDL A area. I'm trying to stay under 26k gvwr. And honestly.. I think the 18k machine would likely be too big for most residential applications : /

    Smallest mini with longest dig depth?

    I do a lot of residential sewer line replacement. While my kx121-3 is perfect for most scenarios, when I'm digging a tap it leaves us having to hand dig another 3-5ft usually and depending on soil type that can take a few hours.

    Smallest mini with longest dig depth?

    Okay, so I've narrowed it down to the Yanmar vio 55 and the kubota kx057. Dig depth on vio (some sites say 12.9'..some say 13.6')?.. depth on 057 says 12.8. Maybe they are saying the 055 is capable of 13.6ft with blade down?? Which one would you guys pick?

    Smallest mini with longest dig depth?

    Yes, technically there is nothing that I can find that is in my range. Is there nothing out there with an extend-a-hoe, like a back hoe?

    Smallest mini with longest dig depth?

    Hi, I've been racking my brain trying to search every mfr that I can think of to compare minis. I own a plumbing company and we do a lot of excavations for residential sewer repairs and such. In a perfect world I would like a machine that would dig 14-15ft and not way more than 13k pounds. Is...

    Buying new 17' CTL Kubota SVL 75-2

    It has everything except air seat for 57k. Good deal? Anyone have a 17' model? I'll be using for landscaping and to move dirt and final grading. Need to be able to lift into a dump truck. Anything bad out there I should know? Anyone know the Db rating inside the cab? I've searched the forum...

    Schematics for making a homemade mechanical coupler??

    Thanks Stafford. Ya, I figured there was a lot of DIY'ers here so someone would probably have something to share. That's too bad. I'll give that a try or just trial and error i guess

    2006 Terex HR16 w/980 Hours

    I've been running an HR16 Schaeff for a few years now. They are very dependable and it definitely runs very well. One of the highest digging depths out there for a mini with a 60" foot print. I hear the that noise on ours too. If I had to guess I would say it is the brake slipping. But that's...

    Schematics for making a homemade mechanical coupler??

    Does anyone have a drawn out diagram (parts dimensions is all that's needed) to make a homemade coupler for a Case Mini? I have all the materials just need to take some of the leg work out of it :) Thanks so much

    Auxiliary pressure relief for mini-excavator.

    You could install a schraeder valve of sorts to the top of your oil tank and push it to release the air each time ? Kinda like the Case machines have
