    Spend limited cash on a very used CTL?

    I rarely chime in anymore but..... If I could only afford one tractor on a ranch or property in the PNW it would be a CTL. Obviously, if you are wanting to ranch or farm you need a farm tractor. The only thing you are not going to do very well is plow snow unless you have a blower. My Bobcat...

    bobcat depth check system

    I ran a Bobcat 55 with this system, and my next machine will have it installed. It works great for digging flat, sacking out material and you can also set your slope%. It may seem spend but after the guys know how to run it, it's off to the races. Kind regards, CD

    Snow pushing with tracks

    Thank god you all got done fighting about studs on snowmobiles.....My t770 pushes fair to crappy. If it is fresh snow it is ok, like pushing off an area that has dirt or something underneath. I would never go try plowing a commercial snow account with it. The traction is horrible on frozen...

    Bobcat PCF 34 Plate Compactor/Vibratory Plate Compactor for Mini Exc.

    Howdy, We use ours all the time. I don't know about the case drain line though. We don't have one. Only thing I have ever done to it is change out the rubber bushings, maybe twice. I bought a second one at RB'S and welded the Bobcat ears on it and it has also worked fine. I don't know how much a...

    Making it so the water can run

    I'm surprised it has held up that well, you would think with all the bouncing on the end of the stick it would be trashed. I have the auto-grade on my little blade for the 770 with 2 receivers and it works great. Looks Good! Kind Regards, CD

    This is an Arena I have been building for the last few months... My guy's did the subgrade and the beam wall, other than that, I have done the rest. I also had some help with the hauling. My driver retired but came back after a month, guess he missed it. Nothing major on...

    Here is a horse arena we are building. It is 130' by 230'. We are working on the subgrade, 1' Cl 2 then 6" R.A.P then the footing. We have a dual slope laser with auto control on the t770. It make it look easy. My LB 210 needs a track tensioner if you look close. The pool project is also coming...

    Iron Planet

    I've bought from Iron Planet and have not had any major problems. I believe you have to be experienced at dealing with auctions and the shenanigans that go with them. Not mentioning other outfits. I always research what I buy, prefer a live auction where I can inspect the equipment myself. One...

    Good deal on the RT, but don't forget your handgun just in case you have to put it down. I have one with 1200 hours or so and it was a real nightmare. We sent it off to the repair shop for compacters and it has been doing much better. That is also a steal, I have seen them go at RB's for 5k or...

    Demolition, clearing and grading

    Great fotos, the equipment sure looks in good shape considering all the clearing and demo. Up here at 7500', we really have to keep our screens and radiators clean to keep the iron running. Other wise everything just heats up. CD

    Nah, The foto of the 350 was when it came in from Fort worth, he finally got pulled over 9 miles from Colorado in Oklahoma for a "courtesy stop " by the Okies DOT. 6 hours later and $900.00 later he was on the road. He came over Monarch Pass pulling at 10mph. 168,000 lbs. Out here the 350 is...

    LC, We all love the Volvo. We tried a bunch in that size and the Volvo was hands down the best. We have had great luck with it. It is a 90f and is the last of the F model with no emissions. Other than that, needing a vacation. August should pass quickly. These are kinda of...

    I bought the Kobelco because I had a ton of mass ex this year and I found it as a "A" lot at the auction in DFW. It was snowing and the weather was horrid. The internet wouldn't hit it because it looked rough and lacked pictures. I scored, it's strong and smooth, has a geith quik coupler and a 3...

    Hello everyone, yes I have been way busy. And now, way burnt out. Just in the middle of a massive pool dig. 70 by 90 and 12' deep. Back filled with 3600 ton of 1.4" base, compacted to 98% then re excavated. I have doubled in size and am just getting for another round of digs. Bought a kobelco...
