    Traveling Crews

    I've got a question or two regarding whether any of you guys manage or are a member of a traveling crew, and what you give/have for benefits for the travelers. I've seen examples where companies provide two to a room lodging and a per diem for meals for a crew that travels to work Monday...

    Duramax Diesel - Help!

    Can someone help me diagnose a a sick Duramax? Have a 2004 Chev, 1 Ton, with a Duramax. Been running pretty rough of late. It tends to idle rough, and surges at 55 Mph ( like around 1700-1800 RPM.) Nearly rattles my teeth out with any kind of load, like a steep hill. Power's down, too...

    What would you do?

    Guys, I need a gut check -- I was doing a regrade and add gravel on a driveway job today. The guy who normally hauls gravel for my jobs, showed up, right on time. This guy is a jem, in my opinion, the best gravel spreader in these parts. Job was to pull up a hilly drive, spreading the...

    Dozer Blades on Skidsteers?

    Anyone have any experience with dozer blades on skidsteers - something like a Grouser 1300 blade on a Bobcat S250 with over the tire tracks? Short Story - Just spent the better part of two weeks operating a rented Cat D3GXL dozer - was cutting down a driveway approach through some hilly...

    Kubota L39?????

    Anyone seen or heard anything about the "new" Kubota L39 TLB? I've been considering a JD 110 TLB, but I'm beginning to wonder. I've seen some specs for the L39, seems about even with the JD 110, give or take a couple inches here and there. I know there are some 110 owners here, so tell me...

    Choice for chainsaws?

    Figure someone here is an expert: I'm in the market for a decent chainsaw. Have a Poulan "Wildthing" which is good and cheap, at least for the homeowner-type I was when I bought it, but now that I'm in the business of "one man band-land clearing", figure I need to step up to something a bit...

    Best/worst operating story

    Is it me, or is the level of banter down a little lately? I was discussing operator stories on another forum, relating an episode of breaking up a near fight between co-workers. In this case it was nearly a conflab between a small dozer and a big backhoe -- thought this would be the place to...

    Experience with a mini-skid steer?

    Anyone out there have any experience with operating a mini skid steer? Situation: I built a 30x36 garage a couple years ago, and due to circumstances (like a few deployments to Southwest Asia) never got around to pouring a floor in it. Walls are concrete about two feet high, steel trusses...

    JD 110 TLB vs. ???

    I'd appreciate anyone's opinion on the Deere 110 TLB vs. other compact TLBs, like the Kobota L35/L48 or even compact "farm" tractors with a bucket and backhoe. I've spent some time on rental Kabotas, and like them, but it looks to me that the 110 is a more substantial machine. I've...

    The Newest New Guy

    Guess this makes me the newest of the new guys..... Name's Denny Little, from Ellijay, Ga. First operated back in '73 or so, as a young college kid on a summer job - went from a Bobcat to a Scoopmobile and a 50's vintage Wabco Scraper that summer, and kept at it for a few summers...
