One thing that made a bigger difference than I expected was organizing by task instead of by tool. I keep the items I use together in the same drawer or bin, so I'm not constantly walking back and forth. A small inverter with plenty of charging ports has also been worth it for keeping batteries...

I usually keep an eye on auctions, local classifieds, and surplus sales rather than relying only on Marketplace. Ritchie Bros. has been a good option to browse because they often have a wide range of tools and the sold prices give you a realistic idea of market value. If you know what you're...

I've run into a similar situation, and it's definitely not as simple as just hooking up a come-along and pulling. On a completely dead T590, the parking brakes and hydrostatic drive usually keep the tracks from rolling freely. Before forcing anything, I'd look up the proper brake release or...

Still looking for 641B parts as well. Fan drives seem to be one of the harder components to find these days. Hopefully someone in the community has some available or knows a good source.

Honestly, when it comes to assurances and overall trust, I keep coming back to Boom & Bucket and IronPlanet. Both seem way more reliable than a lot of random listing sites. I like that Boom & Bucket makes the process feel simple and less stressful, especially with inspections and customer...

I’ve been browsing a lot of equipment listings lately, and one of the better deals I saw on Boom & Bucket was a low-hour skid steer that was priced way more fairly than similar auction listings. What I like is that Boom & Bucket usually gives detailed inspections and clear photos, so it feels...

I think it depends on the workload and budget. Financing newer equipment can save a lot on downtime, repairs, and fuel costs, especially if the machine is used daily. But for smaller jobs or backup use, buying an older machine outright can still make good financial sense if it’s been well...

From what buyers say, Boom & Bucket feels safer than auctions because you get clear details, inspections, and fixed prices—so less guessing and stress. Auctions can have cheaper deals, but more risk. Boom & Bucket is a good choice if you want a simple and more transparent buying experience.

Boom & Bucket can arrange shipping, and they do a great job with it. I like how they handle things professionally and keep everything simple for buyers.

In my experience, the delivery process with Boom and Bucket feels well-organized and reliable. They don’t just sell the equipment—they also help line up transport and keep communication clear the whole way. That makes a big difference, especially for first-time buyers. Boom and Bucket really...

Some well-known names in heavy equipment auctions are Boom and Bucket, Ritchie Bros., IronPlanet, and Mascus. They are all part of RB Global and offer different ways to buy and sell equipment. It’s good to check a few platforms to find the best deal for your needs.
