Komatsu D41P-6 Good or Bad
I'm thinking of buying a 1998 D41P. The little I ran it, it seems like a stable grading platform. I have had a lot of D3C LGP's, and am looking for something bigger but still for fine grading. Anybody have an opinion on this move? -
Radio Loses station
I bought a 2005 Komatsu D61PX 15 LGP dozer this summer. I really like the machine, but one thing is driving me crazy The radio forgets the station you are on as soon as you turn the key off. It comes on at 98.1 on the FM side. You will hit the "UP" button and get back on the station you want... -

Koehring 405 drum swap
I recently started to do these pond clean outs with a dragline. I've done three ponds and have three to do. I've been running a Bucyrus Erie 30 B, which I really like. I also have a Koehring 405. It's beginning to look like I can put them both out on jobs. The 405 is a friction machine and... -
DRAGLINE V LONG REACH EXC
Has there ever been any conversation on the comparison between a dragline and a long reach excavator for cleaning ponds? I just finished my first pond job with my 30B. I was competing with a guy with a home made long reach. I'm interested to know what some of your opinions are. I tout the... -
MATERIAL STICKING IN TRUCK BODY
I have a job with very sticky fill dirt on it. I've used a tandem dump truck and a Cat 30 ton site truck and have the same problem. After 5 rounds or so, there's a half of a load stuck in the truck. I'm wondering if a vibrator would work on the site truck. It's a D30D, single axle Cat. Has...- GOOG

Koehring 440 Specs
I found a really clean Koehring 440. I don't know anything about that particular machine. I have run a few Koehrings though. Does anybody have one, or ran one? I would use it for digging with drag bucket. How big of a bucket can she swing? I think it has a capsule cab but I'm not sure... -
D4H LGP for fine grading

Bucyrus Erie 30B
I am looking for a dragline rig. I thought I found what I wanted but didn't work out. I am now being guided toward a Bucyrus Erie 30B HD. I am somewhat familiar with that crane but not completely up to speed on the differences between a 30B Standard, 30B HD and a 30B Super. I'm sure there... -
Cat 3408 question
I have stumbled upon a CAT 3408 that is set up to run on natural gas. I know it would be very expensive to convert to a diesel. But what I'm wondering is, could it be configured to burn gasoline? It's in a compressor that I have come across. I have to scrap the whole unit, but am thinking of...- GOOG

Koehring 405-2
I am on the verge of purchasing a Koehring 405 and am wondering if anyone here has any experience with this crane and can offer some insight. I have a pond to clean out and will try to back that up with similar work. I have quite a bit of time in a dragline (30 years ago) and am looking... -
