    Muddy Komatsu dumper

    Hey, don't get me wrong - I have a site truck that I use with my excavators and I have loaders that I'll use to move material maybe up to 100-150 feet or so. But these things cost BIG money and Komatsu parts are just a little more expensive than platinum. The ground disturbance point is really...

    Muddy Komatsu dumper

    I highly disagree about cost per yard with a comparably priced machine. AGAIN - you need another machine to load the truck and another machine at the dump site to pile it. Now let's talk about TWO additional operator paychecks.;) By the way - tipping load of a 953 is around 19,000 pounds -...

    Muddy Komatsu dumper

    Well - I hear you. But let's keep in mind when you compare to a track loader... You need another machine and operator to load the "truck", then you need another machine and operator to stockpile at the other end (unless you have 10 acres to string out 50 loads;) - these are taskes easily...

    Muddy Komatsu dumper

    Aaaaaah - I still don't get those stupid things, anyway. Those things cost BIG, BIG money - you know what the capacity of that toy is? 13,000 pounds, that's right - 4 yards of mud a clip, that's it. But wait - oh it can spin around and do a fancy dance - TOY! Rather have an LGP loader...

    Flying dozers

    Beautiful pictures! You must be familiar with this machine to quote the lift capacity at altitude - cool. Also - mixed memories of seeing "SSSR" and "airofloat" (Roman) on that machine, I guess they hired the Soviet airline for this move? Were you there?

    Figure out what happened in this video?

    The guy lowers the camera half way through, and I can't figure out what happened after they upright the truck. http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=845_1264671115

    First machine purchase for small business?

    Much as I hate those things, if you're doing utilities and only having one machine, should be a backhoe.

    DIY Compaction Testing

    I agree 100% with this. These are guys with zero experience in the actual mechanical aspects of the structure. This is the same reason I don't like to see demolition companies with no idea how to actually CONSTRUCT the building. If you are not familiar with at least the basic fundamentals...

    Anyone headed to Haiti?

    You mean they employ people to break up strikes? I saw the "executive protection" BS, but I didn't see the other. I didn't have the patience to read that whole website.

    what pics of equipment do you want to see??

    Hey that's an interesting contribution to this thread, thanks. Why don't you try the for sale/wanted heading - maybe you'll have more luck. What do you think?
