    Newbie Question - Vertical or radius lift necessary?

    Get a compact telehandler. Not much bigger than a skid, can us a bucket and forks and will handle the load better. Obviously I'm biased, but I'm thinking of something like a JCB 520 or 524-50

    New JCB Loaders

    TOTALLY different than your machine. This machine was engineered in the US. Redesigned from the ground up. Not just a update. 20+% fewer fittings than your 1110T, o-ring flat faced fittings. Tilt up, pressurized cab. Hydraulics have been completely re-engineered. It was pretty impressive...

    Adding a loader bucket

    There are a couple types of telehandler. Most, like this Lull are classified as Lift and Place machines. Meaning they were designed to lift a load to elevation. It is NOT recommended to use a bucket on these machines. You can break chains and ruin sheaves pretty easily. There are a few...

    Case Execavator

    The "B" is going to be much more fuel efficient. We haven't had many issues with the Isuzu motors. The issues come into play with the fuel systems on these new Tier III motors. The isuzu will have a finer fuel filter and want cleaner fuel from you. The motors themselves have been reliable...

    JD 450J Dozer vs Tracked Skid Steer

    my $0.02. Two things going on here. #1 - Building a track. If you are building a new track, you'll need the dozer. #2 - Maintaining an existing track. The tracked skid would be better for maintaining the track. I don't know what your money situation is, or what else you might do with...

    My first backhoe :D

    IF you have steady/consistant business a 3 year lease would be the BEST way to go. Do a FMV lease on 36 months and have the dealer provide a 36 month full machine warranty. ALL of your costs are FIXED, you have the tax advantages of a lease, and none of the costs associated with maintaining an...

    Excavator rollover

    We had a customer roll a JCB JS220 last summer. All cabs are required by law to be ROPS. Thing to remember in a rollover is to get your head down and stay to the right. Our cab was bent up pretty good. Boom structure helped the cab maintain it's integrity. Our roll over wasn't near as...

    Dressta/Dresser/International....Thoughts?

    Stories like these really concern me. We run into people that spew BS stories all the time because they are brainwashed by branding. The issue I have with the story is the issue with the engine. A TD15M runs a Cummins QSC8.3 motors. These motors are widely used throughout the worldwide...
