    How does your State handle the reduction of diesel emissions?

    I had heard some states were going to model their emission reduction plans after those in California. California actually has tougher emission regulations than the Federal government. The people in Sacramento have no idea what they are doing to the small business owners in this State.

    What do you think of this truck -- International 5 yard

    Humboldt County is what the State of California refers to as an Attainment County. What that means to you is this: As long as your truck is driven in your county ONLY, you can delay having to replace the motor for an additional two years. A truck under 26K is considered to be a Light Truck...

    All trucks in or going thru California

    I agree with you Dualie. I have been working with a group of portable equipment owners who want to attempt to relax diesel regulations in their county. Unfortunately people need to get together to walk the walk and not just talk the talk. I encourage people to band together and make things...

    All trucks in or going thru California

    The California Air Resources Board has a saying - "If it's diesel, it's regulated". Terrible mantra.

    What do you think of this truck -- International 5 yard

    Hello 707pc50: I have some CARB information for you. If this truck is a light truck (GVWR 14,001 - 26,000) you would be required to replace the motor with a 2010 Model Year or newer engine by January 1, 2015. If the GVWR is more than 26,001 than the truck is considered a Heavy truck and the...

    How does your State handle the reduction of diesel emissions?

    I'm curious as to how other states are dealing with diesel emission reductions. California is heavily regulated. If we don't meet a deadline for cleaning up the air, California will lose its federal highway funding. What does your state require?

    Diesel emissions in surface work environments

    To Newman: If you're talking about heavy duty diesel trucks (GVWR 26,001 and over) you cannot disable the emissions equipment on your diesel motor. The California Highway Patrol and the California Air Resources Board perform roadside inspections where they check the emissions control label on...

    Diesel emissions in surface work environments

    To John C: If you are located in California you are no longer allowed to run Tier 0 machines which are pre-1998. These engines were built without any regard to emission reductions. You can probably still acquire parts. Engines must be sold out of state or country, or scrapped. In the event...

    Diesel emissions in surface work environments

    In the State of California, all off-road diesel machinery must eventually be replaced by Tier 4 final engines. Most manufacturers are already building Tier 4 Interim and Tier 4 Final motors. California has tough diesel regulations and is acting as a model for other states with regards to...

    Who uses a skid steer only at home?

    My husband will always keep a bobcat around our yard. It's great for lugging in firewood, planting a garden or used as scaffold so I can paint the tallest point of our house. He planted a tree once and never got his hands dirty. Even scooped water out of the stream for it with the backhoe...

Your local district will have the applications...

    What would you do?

    Randy, You bring up some interesting points, I think the old lady had lived in the house for a long time as it was told. Nobody seems to get along during estate issues, there most likely would have been a family feud. To each their own regarding a clear conscience. If the operator dug up a water...

    What have you found while digging?

    My husband found me a nice bracelet. It was in an old outhouse! He dug it up, cleaned it up and I wore it for a month before I knew where he got it from.I thought at first he had done something wrong and I was a benefactor of his guilt! (LOL)
