Good point.

From what I've seen, being outside Alabama shouldn't be a problem at all. A lot of buyers participate remotely these days, and most auction companies are set up to work with bidders from other states, especially with online bidding and transport options available. I'd just double-check the...

Construction seems to offer more opportunities to move between different machines like excavators, dozers, and loaders, which can be a big advantage if you're thinking long-term career stability.

My Case 85XT skid steer still has the original heat shield insulation, but it's crumbling apart, and I'm worried about heat damage and possible fire risk near the exhaust. Can I replace it with aftermarket heat shield insulation, or does this machine really need the OEM heat shield because of...

A mini excavator or skid steer can handle a surprising amount of work and usually gives you more flexibility while you're still figuring out what jobs come in the most.

One thing that can help is finding flexible financing instead of locking yourself into something too aggressive. I've heard some people have decent experiences with RBFS when trying to balance newer equipment costs without getting buried during slower seasons.

Got a check engine light on a machine with serial XE300477, but my offline SIS doesn't cover the next-gen models. Any ideas on where to start troubleshooting?

Yeah I’m with you on that @winston_wisdo, the whole flywheel effect really makes sense, once the volume and trust build up it just keeps feeding itself

I’ve had good luck with Kubota-powered light towers, its simple, sips fuel, and they’ll just keep running as long as you keep up with basic maintenance

I’ve looked into IronPlanet too and the inspection reports seem solid, but yeah buying sight unseen still makes me a bit nervous, feels like it could go either really smooth or turn into a surprise real quick.

Feels like Wirtgen Group is that high-maintenance perfectionist. .runs like a dream until it wants attention. while Roadtec is more the “just keep me fueled and I’ll show up every day” type 😄
