    I don't see successful concrete processing very feasible without a screen machine, and another note id figure about 85 to 90 percent of concrete has some form of reinforcement in it. A mag after the crusher be it a rotary or jaw will be nice when scrap comes back up in price. I run mine on the...

    Getting ready to graduate

    I'd start with White Construction. Friends and all. Cut your teeth there. It's been my experience if you are put in the field working on jobsites after a year or two you'll start bumping into familiar faces on-site and that's the beginning of you starting to network your way into other avenues...

    Additional "Comfort" features you have done to Cab?

    Yeh I agree and I've installed one and it's night and day difference. The cb tone is usually so horribly high pitched that I can't stand to listen to it but with this Diesel brand speaker it's not so harsh on my ears when drivers start chatting and or the squelch is being finicky.

    Additional "Comfort" features you have done to Cab?

    Great stuff guys. Ive been thinking about getting a suction mount or two to free up some space in the OEM holders. Also I'm going to research some quality Bluetooth speaker systems to pair my phone to as the OEM radio is lacking any auxiliary ports. And it appears a few coat hangers for jackets...

    Additional "Comfort" features you have done to Cab?

    I like the idea of curtains for morning sun shading. I was thinking of tinting the top foot or so front window as it seems to be a blinder a lot of times when I can't reposition the house direction.

    Demolition debris cleanup

    Best thing would be to have experienced track hoe operator that has some time working with demo material. I've seen sites with good hoe ops and the site stays clean and the scatter is kept to a minimum whereas I've seen sites with dirt hoe ops doing demo turn out looking like a bomb went off. So...

    08 Kobelco 210 SK; swings left

    I've got a Kobelco 210 sk; I have checked the swingbrake switch behind the cab for correct setting so I'm sorta confident the swingbrake switch isn't to blame. Here is what's happening; I'll operate the machine for a few minutes and all is fine, then magically if I swing left(only happens on...
