From my experience with VeriTread, quotes can come in pretty fast. Usually, you'll see something within minutes to a couple of hours on common routes. If it's oversized or a tougher route, it might take half a day or so.

Take a look at the pins and bushings, too. If there's a lot of play in the arms or bucket, that can get expensive fast. Same with tires or tracks-they're easy to overlook but not cheap to replace.

It usually means the system isn't seeing enough pressure difference across the filter, not always a clogged DPF, often the opposite.

If it's mostly grading and cleanup, a grading bucket + thumb combo will handle 90% of the work and save you a ton of time.

From what I've seen, renting an excavator from Home Depot is pretty straightforward, but the price depends on the size.

Check if the control valve is actually sending oil to that function.

Recently picked up a Caterpillar 966A, and I'm trying to learn as much as I can before putting it to work. Plan is to use it for light-duty stuff like clearing brush, leveling, and some snow work, not heavy production. I've read a few things about steering axle parts being hard to find, but I'm...

Use it mainly for parts lookup + ordering-that alone saves a ton of time.

As for a dedicated "IronPlanet crossover," it's not always labeled that way anymore-everything's kind of blended under the same schedule now.

Most of the big brands are decent & what really matters is how it's spec'd and how you use it.

I've used Boom & Bucket a couple of times, and overall the shipping was pretty smooth.

It turns fine in reverse and works again after cooling down for a few hours.

Usually handled by the carrier, especially for oversize loads, but always confirm upfront.

Min. 4 tie-downs for heavy equipment (over 10,000 lbs)

Hey guys, working on a John Deere 250G LC with a HudCo one-way aux kit. I've got good pilot and relief pressure, but the hammer is very slow and the pump flow isn't increasing. Breaker switch stays off, so it seems like the machine isn't calling for flow. Anyone run into this? Trying to figure...

Check and clean filters often, and don't wait too long to replace them. A clogged air filter can quickly kill performance and shorten engine life.

I'm working on a Rome R56H scraper and recently switched from a 3-valve to a 2-valve setup using a sequence valve from Ashland Industries (now K-Tec Earthmovers). Now the apron and eject aren't sequencing properly. Could this just be a valve adjustment issue, or did I set it up wrong? Is the...

Have you tried a regen or a code reset? Sometimes it won't clear on its own.

I've been digging into auction listings for John Deere articulated dump trucks, specifically the D series vs. the E series, and something doesn't quite add up. From what I'm seeing, D and E series ADTs are selling at pretty similar prices even when hours and conditions are close. I would've...

I think it is more about recovering lost revenue and making operations more efficient. That's where the real gains come from.
