I am wondering if it needs to have a license to operate an excavator in a privately owned farm?

Same here! To be honest, this is my first time hearing about such financing services. I wish someone from the company would explain how things worked.

Oh, I thought the price was about $10. I am wondering if that price includes the Shipping fee.

We are using our backhoe all the time. We have 3 acres of land, and I can say that back backhoe is a great help for grading, drainage solutions, and removing stumps. Help me decide between bX23s or just a tractor with a front-end loader.

He is right. Bolt Depot is way cheaper. My boss has been buying from their store online since last year.

You are right. It is very important to confirm everything before shipping the items, especially the heavy equipment. By the way, when we sell through Boom and Bucket, do they arrange the shipment? I am curious. I think it's safer this way. What do you think, guys?

Does it really provide real-time heavy machine diagnostics? Please tell me your experience with SmartEquip.

Ritchie Bros is very trustworthy. By the way, it depends on what you are selling. I sold my 2020 Hitachi ZX350LC-6N for almost $25,000 at Ritchie Bros. They have a territory manager, and their customer support is very easy to contact.

I have seen an asphalt company that uses the loader to clean up by sweeping s and small piles of dirt. It is likely 95% grader and 5% loader.

This post is very timely. The clutch pedal on my 944S is giving me a headache. It struggles to come back up! I checked the slave and found no leakage!

Can you share your unloading process here? I want to know the safest way to unload.

I am thinking if the mini excavator with a skilled operator can climb hills more than 15 degrees. Won't it compromise the machine's stability? Please share the tips for safe operation on hills.

Do you think a bulldozer will overheat if used too much? Please tell me.

I am curious, what are the mandatory attachments (besides the main digging bucket) you would buy first, and why do they pay for themselves faster than anything else?

Always wear your seatbelt. Scrapers can be prone to tipping, especially when turning with a high or heavy load.

Look, a lot of successful folks say the mini excavator is the real "game-changer" for making money-it gets those high-value digging and drainage gigs. But don't forget the skid steer; it's essential for cleaning up fast, moving the dirt, and getting the grade just right. What do you say?

For a newbie planning to tow a 50G regularly, what's the one thing a newbie they must do to their tow vehicle (whether it’s adding heavy-duty hitches, better brakes, or something else entirely) to handle that weight safely without constantly worrying about wear-and-tear or being overweight?

If a newbie like me has a truck rated for a 20,000 lb tow, is a standard backhoe (like a Cat 420 or JD 310) generally small enough for me to legally and safely haul myself, or am I better off looking at smaller machines to avoid an immediate hauling nightmare?

I know the basics: check the oil, make sure the tracks are good. But I'm terrified of breaking something, or worse, hurting myself or someone else. These machines are small, but they can still do damage, especially if you hit a gas line or the hydraulics fail. My friend told me I need a...

If a newbie operator is totally willing to travel, endure long hours, and move anywhere for the absolute highest income, where should they focus—the big-city union jobs, remote pipeline/mining, or specialized heavy demolition work? What region or industry truly has the biggest money for...
