    Important Safety Message...Check your (lug) nuts

    I got a call yesterday from a very good friend of mine that had a slight issue with his brand new TSC purchased trailer. He put about 60 miles on it towing a blow up water slide from his GF's house. When he was slowing down to exit the highway, he heard something that just didn't sound right to...

    Dewalt 20V Rotary Laser - anyone here have one?

    contemplating whether I should get one of these...I like the 20V battery source over other brands. It seems that many of the others use standard D sized batteries (not a fan of that at all). I have a good supply of Dewalt 20V batteries/chargers already...

    Hydraulic Breaker

    Folks, I'm looking for suggestions and experiences with hydraulic breakers for a 3 ton class machine. This would be for a U-27 mini excavator to tackle mostly concrete sidewalks and some asphalt driveways. I have noticed that some manufacturers are using a built in accumulator instead of the...

    Kubota Mini Excavator U27-4 recommendations

    Anyone on here that has a U27-4? I'd like to find out what your experience has been with one. I'm getting quotes on a new one (U27-4R2) with a cab for trenching work (residential water/sewer lines) for a working depth of 3-7 feet. Kubota is my first choice primarily due to dealer network. I'm...

    L47 TLB

    hey folks, I've been searching for a small (3 ton) mini-ex for several months and am not having much luck. Used machines are still quite salty and new are almost ridiculous. It occurred to me that perhaps my needs may be better served in getting a dedicated TLB (replacing my B2650). Most...

I've just noticed a general "wonkiness" on this site today. I have no issues with any other site that I've visited today. maybe its...

    Need help from truck guys

    Folks, I just bought a truck to be used for my side business and I like everything but the height of the body. Its roughly 78" tall over the sides of the dump body. I think my B2650 would barely clear the side rail and not have room to dump from the loader. The truck body is aluminum and I'm...

    Stabilizer Street Pads for BH77...where can they be found?

    Anyone have a line on a set of stabilizer street pads for BH77? I looked at online parts diagrams and some 3rd party companies and just can't find them. I could swear that they used to be an option. Sent email to Kubota parts place so I hope to hear from them as well. I think they are 10"x3"...

    Mini Ex and labor rates

    Just wanted to get an idea of going rates (fully loaded either hourly and/or daily) for small excavation jobs. These would be pretty simple mini excavator trenching digs (under 8 feet in depth) for water/sewer line replacements for commercial and residential jobs. I realize that these can vary...

    ISO vs SAE control pattern

    I'm looking for some advice on which control patterns you favor when operating a mini excavator. I don't have much experience with excavators but an opportunity has come up to run one on a fairly frequent basis. The mini-ex will be used primarily for trenching. My issue is that I'm accustom to...

    9 mil 1911 suggestions

    Hey folks, I'm looking for suggestions on another range toy in a gov't length single stack 1911 in 9mm. That would be its only purpose (range enjoyment). So far, I've been looking at reviews/videos on the Colt Competion (SS) and a Sig 1911 TACOPS. I think the Sig would be a Series 80 but the...

    Trimmer String recommendation

    Does anyone have a specific manufacturer/type of weed trimmer string that you just can't be without? I do not relish replacing the string on my trimmer 2x/2 hour outing. I've been using the same old echo trimmer for about 15 years and still have not found string that would last a whole tank full...
