    Deere 555b vs 455g

    I’ve owned and been around track loaders of all sizes and brands my entire life. Somehow i’ve never been on any Deere older than a G model. Looking at a couple possibilities, either a mid 80s 555 or an early 455g. I’ve ran a 455g but it’s been a while and like I said never been on an older...

    Deere 605c question

    Random question, does anyone remember approximately what a new Deere 605c was costing when they came out in 2007 or whenever it was? We bought a new 953c in 2006 and it was $192,000, I remember the 605 coming out not long after and can’t remember what they were going for, of course it doesn’t...

    Best value in a used Sub-CDL Dump Truck?

    I have no idea what you want to spend and what year range you are looking at. But I've always liked the late 80s and early 90s ford 700 and 800s with ford diesels, or if you could find one with a 5.9 that would even be better. We've owned severel of them And they have sure been tough and reliable.

    Purchasing a S/A dump truck, could use some help/checklist

    I just looked it up and there is some strange cdl laws in tn. It's in state before your 21, and that's normal for everywhere. But you can get a class B at 18, and then a class A at 19, Here you can get a class A at 18. I've never heard of the 18 and 19 thing.

    Cdl question

    I was asked something today that I didn't know the answer to, And i can't find the answer anywhere so I thought I would see if anyone here knew. If a person has a class B with air brakes and wants to go to a class A what all is involved? Is it just like starting over as if you have no...

    Purchasing a S/A dump truck, could use some help/checklist

    5 years ago i passed it at 18 on the first go around. I would think most any 20' something could do it if they worked at it and wanted it bad enough.

    Shopping for a farm use Dozer

    Yes, those are high. If I were you I would look for a 550 or 650g Deere, should find a nice one for close to 20k.

    Whats this hydraulic hammer worth and how hard to rebuild?

    Buying a breaker out of Branson that was owned by the biggest company in town during the boom is going to be like that, not to mention help was often hard to find and they hired alot of inexperienced operators.

    Whats this hydraulic hammer worth and how hard to rebuild?

    You don't want it, I know them well, they didn't stop useing it because of the new cats, they still run more deere's than cats and that's what they ran this breaker on. Looks like a money pit to me.

    Hourly rate for SMALL dozer

    I think that's fair for everyone. It may be small, but it will still do some work. And it runs on diesel and breaks down just like any other piece of equipment. Can't work to cover expenses and be donating your time.

    Hourly rate for SMALL dozer

    I don't really know anyone running something very simalar to that. But for that size machine in something newer your looking at 70 to 80$ a hour here. But thats not a good indication for you. I would say maybe 50$ a hour.

    Deere 624h transimission issue

    Now the guy that tore it up won't even talk about useing his insurance. He wants to buy a new housing from Korea that takes 2 months to get for 5200$, instead of getting one in 2 days from John Deere for 7800$. It's a mess for sure.

    Deere 624h transimission issue

    That's my thought. I think the guy that tore it up needs to turn it on his insurance.

    Deere 624h transimission issue

    Good friend of mine let someone borrow his 624h, while they had it somehow they stuck a log up in it and busted the transimission loose from the mounts on the front corners, I haven't seen this in person, but he said it took a pretty good size piece off where both mounts are and it lost all the...

    Kobelco Ed150 blade runner questions.

    Got a friend with one of these that he's wanting me to do some work on and sell for him. It's a 2005 with about 7000 hours. It's plumbed, will have all new rollers and a new idler, pins are about to the point they should be turned, everything else on the U/C is pretty decent. The blade has...

    Help me pick a dump truck size

    And no, your not going to find a 10000lb truck that you want to haul 8 ton on. My 2007 dodge dually weighs just under 10k. My t450 kenworth tri axle dump with a 16ft bed weighs 27k. It's been a while since I've been over a scale in a small single axle dump truck, but I'm thinking something...
