    2001 Deere 260 skid loader

    I'm asking this question for a good buddy of mine. He bought a 2001 Deere 260 to use around his property. The machine has 3,000 hours but is in very nice shape. He did a full service on it and noticed that the right chain case was overfull and pressurized. He thought the hydraulic motor was...

    New Toy!

    Here's a picture of my new toy, a 450A John Deere. This one is just going to be for personal use around the property to go in the collection with my old Caterpillar 922 loader and my John Deere 1010 dozer. Gonna pick her up this week and hopefully move a little dirt with her this weekend!

    New to me Blade!

    Well my dad finally bit the bullet and traded off my old 140G with 22,000 hours for a 163H with 5,000 hours. I'm gonna miss the old girl but this sure is a nice upgrade. It's a county blade to boot! I was looking over the service records, and it never went over 200 hours on an oil change. Some...

    SO as of December here in Minnesota, you have to have at least a Class A CDL with restrictions, a DOT number on the pickup, DOT sticker on the trailer, fill out pre-trip inspection reports, etc. etc. just to pull a trailer behind a company pickup. Whether it has a piece of equipment on it or...

    John Deere 60

    Just posting a couple pictures of my John Deere 60 that I snapped the other day. I got the tractor from my grandpa a couple years ago. I replaced the points, plugs, changed the oil, put new front tires on, and she runs like a dream. The tach cable leaks pretty bad as you can see. I have a new...

    Naturally Aspirated Road Graders

    I was recently looking through Iron Planet and decided to look through the motor grader section, and I found a Caterpillar 12H in Alabama with a naturally aspirated (non turbo) 3306? Is this a blade that was meant for export, or can/do people really order newer blades with a naturally aspirated...

    G series versus H series

    just wondering what everyone else prefers, G series Cats versus H series Cats. We have a Cat 140G with 21,000 hours, and a Cat 143H with 12,000 hours on it. Both of them were county blades before we got them. The 140G has never been overhauled, but it's on its third transmission. The things I...

    Something for you guys to look at

    Just looking through used excavators and I came across this http://www.equipmenttraderonline.com/find/listing/2001-Caterpillar-320CL-100041213 How do you let a piece of equipment get in that bad of shape? And with just under 9,000 hours on it! Would any of you guys ever bother buying...

    Cat 922B

    Just thought I'd post up some pictures of my personal loader. Its a 1967 Cat 922B. Bought it from the local RDO John Deere dealership where a county had traded it in. The loader had been with the county all its life and runs like a top.

    Grain silo

    So is the art of taking down old stave silos with some sledge hammers, a couple wrenches, a bunch of steel cable and a dozer or excavator a lost art or what? You look on the internet and all you see are long reach demolition excavators and explosives. Just wondering what you guys think.

    Cat 950G

    We have a Cat 950G that came from Belgium. We got it with around 3,000 hours on it. Currently it has between 11,000 and 12,000 hours. A couple thousand hours ago, it started making grinding noises every now and then under the cab around the transmission and controls. We've had it into Ziegler...
