Honestly feels a bit gimmicky to me, itworks for small patches, but I’d still take a full-size machine if you’ve got real work to get done

Generator theft's deifnitely getting worse, curious if anyone's tried newer GPS trackers or smart alerts that actually helped recover a unit quickly?

Hey everyone, I'm getting ready to move some used equipment and wanted to ask, what are your go-to inspection and prep tips before shipping? Are there any common issues you've run into that are easy to overlook but cause headaches during transport? Would love to hear real-world advice on...

Honestly, I think LiDAR and semi-autonomous features are super exciting, especially for precision work like grading or hauling on busy sites. Even just the assist features seem to save a ton of time and headaches. I'm curious how they handle really tight, messy jobsthough. Anyone tried them in...

I've been on the fence too.. anyon etried using a dump trailer for mixed jobs like landscaping and small demo work? Curious if it really handles both without slowing things down.

man, backhoe prices have been climbing fast-sometimes feels like waiting just means paying more! I usually keep an eye on Ritchie Bros. or Boom & Bucket listings to see if an auction deal can beat the dealer markup.

Hey @USVeteran, If you're focused on strong access control and stealth recovery, Trackunit is . If you want remote immobilization and real-time tracking, Samsara's solid.

I'd lean toward SalvageSale, you can snag solid deals there if you know what to look fro, especially on lightly damaged or repo equipment that still has plenty of life left in it.

Yeah, definitely possible! If you're upgrading with the same dealer, they're usually willing to work something out... might cost a bit, but it's a good way to move up without waiting out the full term.

Looks like this loader’s fighting for its life on that muddy slope! Ever been in a situation like this where the ground just gives way under heavy weight? No matter how skilled the operator, mud like that can turn any jobsite into a recovery zone real quick. What’s your move when your machine...

Yeah, most of those beasts are automatic now
