From what I understand so far: Always park on level ground to avoid tipping. Lower the bucket or attachment all the way to the ground. Engage the parking brake and put the joysticks/control levers in neutral. Turn off the engine and remove the key. Am I missing anything? Are there any...

Hey everyone, I’m new here. I want to sell some items on marketplace-e. Any tips would be awesome.

SalvageSale can be a solid place to find deals.

You’ll see them used a lot on cylinder heads, flanges, and mating surfaces where you need things clean and flat before reassembly.

Most backhoes have a sight glass or dipstick on the hydraulic tank-check the level there and make sure it's within the recommended range

i'm trying to understand when they make the most sense to use on a job.

What are they best used for on road or site projects? Are they mainly for asphalt removal, or can they handle other surfaces too? Also curious about maintenance and what to watch out for when running one.

We run loaders in some pretty harsh conditions, dust, mud, heat, and long operating hours, and I'm trying to stay ahead of breakdowns and downtime.

Most transport fails come down to two things: a dirty deck and lazy securement.

I've been looking at some D6 and D8 specs, and it feels like dozers are in a completely different league than excavators. Since a dozer is basically a massive friction machine, constantly fighting ground resistance and pushing weight, the fuel numbers are pretty staggering. Here is the...

I am new to hauling equipment and trying to learn things the right way. I’ve got a mini excavator, and I’m looking for proper, real-world advice on how to tie it down on a trailer. I’ve watched a few videos, but I’d rather hear from people who actually move machines day in and day out. Right...

I've been messing around with Drive Mad, and I'm completely stuck on the excavator level. No matter what I try, I either flip the machine or miss the landing. I get that it's a game, but I'm curious if there's an actual "technique" to it, like how you're supposed to use the boom and bucket for...

Just wondering, what's the longest payment term they offer?
