    Why would you bring in sand and not either gravel, Item 4 or crushed stone? The sand will compact very niceley but if there is any clay in it whatsoever it will stop the flow of moisture away from you conctrete. also, if a heavy rain run off found its way under the slab it could wash the sand...

    No Organic Material whatsoever should be left in the area under the slab unless of course you enjoy breaking out concrete later on in life. All national building codes and standards require the removal of organic matter from under any structural concrete. Once you put reinforcement in concrete...

    What Attachments Do You Use?

    After you rake and level you back yp with a harley rake with the rake rotating forward to install the dimples. While doing so it will remove the tire tracks. Tes, it will turn the vast majority of existing grass into the soil. Hope this helps

    What do you use your skid steer for?

    As you can see it is a very versatile tool and only limited by its owners imagination. Skids are probably the most versatile tool out there if you really want to benefit from its ownership.

    New Holland L785 issue

    This leads me to a question, will draining the tanks and filters be good or should I take steps to drain the system (lines, pump)? If so how do I do that? And lastly, the tires on it are pretty rough (and a couple have slow leaks) so I'm planning to put new on. There are some cheaper tires on...

    A Question About Oil Contamination From Attachments

    I agree about the particles but the filter system should trap most of them. The viscosity is not the end of the world but mixing 2 totaly different types of oil scares the heck out of me. Time to by more of my own hydraulic attachments.... :eek:

    Hey Guys I was just wondering if anyone had ever considered if rental equipment attachments or new attachment posed a threat to your hydraulic systems with mixing various other users oils into your systems. I just bought a new grapple and i think i will purge that before I use it but i was...

    Oil Sampling - any success stories?

    Oil sampling is just like any other tool. if you use it properly and trend the results you cam maximize the equipment use and extend major component lifetime by a great deal. If all you want to use it for is to extend the change interval of fluids then it is a value but you miss the real...
