Don't see many of the old green Terexes around here anymore. It's all 627s, 615s, 623s. I ran a Ts14 and a few TS24s, I actually miss them sometimes.

we still run a bunch of the TS-14 and just started running some 627's. I will look for some pic I know I have.
there are 4 or 5 other companies around here that use a few.
Buckethead I must say it is nice to hear the engines screaming. It is fun to try and get more loads than the 627s to

we see them a decent amount here in central NC, but for the most part you gotta have someone in a dozer kicking them

It's the same worldwide

iron is a hard sell in this economy. I wouldnt blame it on location as much as timing.

Any used equipment is hard to sell anywhere worldwide, new equipment with virtually no interest finance payments, has crueled the used equipment market :beatsme
