    14 ton shovel?

    I'm shopping for a new 14 ton for septic and residential work. I've got prices from Cat, Liebherr, Komatsu, Volvo, Case, and Bobcat. I've ruled out Bobcat and Cat due to pricing/availability/dealer support. Neither can deliver a shovel this season. What sticks out though, is that the Case...

    International 4300 Towing?

    Hi all, I've got a 2005 International 4300 with a DT466 making 195hp, and a 6 speed manual. It's a bit of a weird setup, 10k front, 19k rear but with hydraulic brakes. The local international dealer said that the truck is good for 60k gcwr - not sure I believe them. I'd like to be able to pull...
