Autonomous dozers are wild to see in action! Definitely seems like large sites are the easiest place to start, but I’m curious how long until we see more compact machines getting the same treatment. Would be a game-changer for precision work!

I’d go for better visibility, especially around the blade and tracks, plus smoother blade control for fine grading. A little more power without extra weight would be a nice bonus too.

Hi all, I’m in the market for a used mini excavator and could use some advice. Looking for something in the 6,000-8,000 lb range for property maintenance, trenching, and small-scale land clearing. Ideally, I’d like to stay under $40K, but I’m open to stretching the budget for the right machine...

Good question! One thing that’s helped me is adjusting the cutter depth based on material type—too deep, and you’ll wear out the machine faster; too shallow, and you won’t get a clean cut. Also, keeping the water system in check helps with dust control and extends cutter life. What kind of...

Hey everyone!! Choosing the right compactor can make a huge difference in efficiency and results. With so many options—plate compactors, roller compactors, tamping rammers, and more—it can be tough to decide which one is best for different job conditions. Some questions to consider: Which type...

Greasing the bearings and checking for loose bolts after a long day can help too, small things add up to keep it running smooth! Anyone have a preferred brand for hydraulic fluid?

Hi! Always check service records and get an inspection if possible. Buying from a dealer gives more peace of mind, but auctions can have great deals!

hi @Grab_a_Buck! I figured cranes would be up there, especially with all the precision involved. Motor graders sound tricky too—getting that perfect grade has to take a lot of practice. Have you ever struggled with a machine that you thought would be easy but turned out way harder than...

hi! Good points from everyone! One thing I’ve noticed is that even when safety protocols are in place, communication between the crane operator and ground crew isn’t always as clear as it should be. I’ve seen situations where hand signals get misinterpreted or radios don’t work properly, which...
