    Not sure exactly what this means for Link Belt, as the article says that CNH and Sumitomo still have their supplier agreement. So if LBX is out but the supplier agreement are intact, do the three excavators (NH, Case, LBX) still remain the same...

    Construction Equipment Magazine closing

    I was saddened to read that after over a decade of reading it, my favorite magazine is shutting down. :( One by one, all the reasons I got interested in the CE industry are beginning to fall. Not a fun thing to watch. http://www.constructionequipment.com/article/ca6726595.html

    Cat "updates" E-series BHL

    I'm absolutely baffled. I don't know who among Cat's BHL marketing or engineering team reads these forum... I'm just completely astounded. I won't jump to conclusions on what engineering reason (first assumption is that it was in fact an engineering decision) fueled this decision, but it does...

    Freewheelin'?

    Any speculations on what causes freewheeling? I'm referring specifically to when you raise the entire machine (stabilizers and bucket) and use the backhoe and the rear wheels spin.

    The news with Bobcat...

    Wasn't sure if SSL was the best place to discuss this, but it's as appropriate as I could find. A few months ago, Volvo acquired IR's Road Technologies division (Blaw-Knox pavers and compactors, namely). A bit before that, there was a scare that Bobcat would be manufacturing its machines in...
