Yeah, a little more detail here would be helpful. Primary use, average trip, tight spots or open areas, lifting capacity needed, storage needed, towing capability?

Might be able to beat out a Tesla truck but otherwise looks like it belongs in a coloring book.

Most of the time someone says "hot take" it's followed by total garbage. But I might actually have to agree with Magic Mike on this - only because you put the "unless you're doing heavy work all the time" caveat in there. If you're working your machine daily (running a busy business or...

If you like em and have the budget, stick with CAT. Can't go wrong there. Second choice I'd say Deere. But those would be my top two, in order. Komatsu's decent, but in my book, they're playin' catch-up to Cat and Deere. Terex used to make good scrapers, but they sold that part of their...

Yes, you can deduct the full value of qualifying equipment you buy and put into service this year, even if you keep it for years to come. It's not a loophole - it's an intentional incentive created by the government to encourage businesses to invest in equipment. Unlike most government...

Most vendors price per week rather than per day. You’re looking at anywhere from $75 to $150 per week for a standard porta potty. That includes one cleaning and restocking.

What's the use case? And what's your budget? Either of those might make the decision for you. New Forklifts: Pros: You get the latest technology, warranty coverage, and zero maintenance headaches for a while - important if you're not too handy or downtime is costly. Cons: They’re pricey and...

In my experience you might get quoted an hourly rate but most places are going to then have miniums in regards to hours or days. Better to generally think in days or half days. Then depends on if you need an operator or any other additional certified staff. These guys post rough rates on their...

Inspect a crane for purchase? Or before putting it into operation? Operating: If you've done your OSHA training, then it should be a "qualified person". They love that term, but that's loosely defined. Basically do they understand cranes? But, an NCCCO (National Commission for the...
