Yeah, I was surprised too when I found out how much attachments add to the total weight. Definitely made me double-check my trailer setup before hauling mine the first time!
Totally agree with everyone, being seen and talking to folks in person really helps. I actually got my first union gig after chatting with a foreman at a job site. Old-school still works!
Hey all,
I’m weighing whether to rent or buy a compactor for some upcoming projects. It’s not something I’ll use every day, but I want to make sure I’m not throwing money away on rentals either. Has anyone been in the same boat? What made you decide one way or the other?
Totally agree! once you see a skid steer spin in place, the name makes perfect sense! I was surprised how nimble they are, especially in tight or muddy spots.
Lots of great points here, yeah, complacency and rushing seem to be the sneaky culprits. We started doing short pre-shift safety huddles, and it’s really helped keep everyone alert and thinking safety first.
