They always provide satisfactory services.

BoomandBucket, and Ritchie Bros are always on top.

I've seen different numbers floating around online, and I know weight can change depending on setup (rubber tracks, canopy vs cab, bucket size, auxiliary hydraulics, etc.). I'm mainly asking because I'm trying to figure out: -Whether my trailer and truck combo can handle it -Tongue weight and...

For those running Komatsu backhoes, where do you usually buy: -OEM parts like filters, seals, injectors, and hydraulic components -Wear items like bucket teeth, cutting edges, and stabilizer pads -Bigger stuff like cylinders, control valves, or drivetrain parts Do you mostly go through a local...

Hey everyone, still pretty new to wrenching on compact excavators, and ran into my first thrown track on a Takeuchi (TB series). I was working on uneven ground, and the rubber track walked off the front idler while I was tracking sideways.

Get the 250PRO. You'll appreciate having the extra power on tap, and you won't find yourself wanting to upgrade again in a year. By the way, what's the thickest stuff you're planning to weld? That'll really confirm if the 250 is the right move.

Hey everyone, I've been digging into different types of backhoes, and I keep seeing people call a wheeled backhoe a 'rubber duck.' I get that it's probably because of the tires, but I'm curious-why exactly is it called that? Is it just a nickname in the construction world, or is there a deeper...

I'm trying to learn more about motor graders and their capabilities. I know they're commonly used in construction, but I'm curious about the full range of tasks they can handle. For example, are they mainly for road leveling, or can they be used for things like ditching, snow removal, or...

I'd like to get some guidance from experienced operators or owners. At what point are the operating hours on an excavator generally considered high, and how does this affect reliability, maintenance, and overall value?

I'm looking to learn from others with experience operating bulldozers on private farms. What key factors should be considered, especially regarding terrain, soil conditions, safety around livestock and structures, and avoiding damage to fields or underground utilities? Any practical tips or...

There is no question that they are globally recognized as the leading heavy equipment auctioneer.

Bulldozer fuel consumption is influenced by several key factors, including engine load, operating technique, and job conditions. Terrain and ground conditions play a major role, as soft, steep, or uneven surfaces require more power. Machine weight, blade configuration, and the type of work being...

When driving a bulldozer uphill, throttle control should be smooth and deliberate. Maintain a steady engine speed rather than sudden acceleration, and select the appropriate gear before starting the climb. Allow the machine's torque to work for you, keeping the engine within its optimal...

For me, the best generator is the one that fits your workload, gets serviced regularly, and doesn't let you down when the power goes out. Do you have any recommendation?

Digging a drainage ditch with an excavator is all about prep and patience. Do I have to mark out the ditch line and check the slope water?

I am intrigued by why buyers keep coming back to Ritchie Bros. Is it because they get a huge selection or have a global reach?

I don't have the manual. Is there any other way to know the capacity chart?

Rule of thumb: grease the swing bearing and bucket linkage daily or every 8-10 hours of use-more often if you're working hard or in dusty, muddy conditions.

Yeah, it has a very professional customer support compared to its competitors. They are very transparent and helpful.

A good operator can get it pretty darn square, especially with a grading bucket or a bit of hand cleanup at the end.
