I'm starting to look into picking up a used excavator for some upcoming projects and wanted to get input from folks with real field experience. There are a lot of dealers and marketplaces out there, but I'm more interested in companies that actually stand behind their machines (inspection...

I’m still pretty new to running Kubota equipment and wanted to double-check I’m doing this right. I’m mainly wondering about the correct steps, safety tips, and whether there are any common mistakes to avoid. Do all Kubota models use the same pin setup, or does it vary by machine? Any advice...

I'm fairly new to running JCB excavators and want to make sure I'm changing buckets the right way without damaging the coupler or risking safety issues. I know the process can be different depending on whether the machine has a manual pin-on bucket or a quick coupler, but I'd like to understand...

I'm trying to figure out fair pricing for skid steer work and want to make sure I'm not undercharging or pricing myself out of jobs. I know rates can vary a lot depending on location, machine size, attachments, and the type of work, but I'm looking for a realistic baseline.

I'm trying to track down an electrical issue and need to locate the fuse box on a Case excavator. I know the exact location can vary depending on the model and year, but from what I've seen it's usually in one of these spots: Inside the cab, often behind a removable panel or under the seat On...

Consider what types of welding you'll be doing most often. If you think you'll need that extra power in the future, the MIG-250PRO might be worth the investment. Either way, you can't go wrong with YesWelder; they make reliable machines! :)

I keep hearing about SmartEquip. From what I gather, it’s supposed to make parts ordering and maintenance easier, even after the auction ends. For contractors and fleet managers, keeping machines running post-purchase is huge. But I’m curious, does SmartEquip actually simplify finding...

I’ve been trying to get a better handle on heavy equipment, but I keep seeing both excavators and backhoes on job sites. I know they both dig, but what exactly makes an excavator different from a backhoe? Is it about size, mobility, or the type of work they’re best suited for? I’d love to...

Most excavator buckets are made from wear-resistant steel specifically designed to withstand the tough conditions of digging, impact, and abrasion. This type of steel is tougher and more durable, helping to extend the life of the bucket even with constant use. If you're looking at a specific...

Several factors can influence fuel consumption in bulldozers. Here are some key ones to consider: 1. Engine Size and Type: Larger engines typically consume more fuel, but they also provide more power. The type of engine (diesel vs. alternative fuels) can also make a difference. 2. Load Weight...

Look for signs of wear and tear. Check the engine, hydraulic system, and tracks/wheels for any damage.

I'm trying to plan a project and want a rough idea of what a standard excavator can clear in a day. I know it depends on size, terrain, and material, but any ballpark numbers or personal experience would help.

I'm in the market for a used excavator and trying to figure out the best place to buy one without getting burned. I've looked at dealers, auctions, and private sellers, and each seems to have pros and cons. For those who've bought used: Are dealers worth the higher price? Any good experiences...

Quick question for those with more experience. I'm looking to service my excavator and want to make sure I'm using the correct hydraulic oil. I know it can depend on the brand, model, operating temps, and whether it's standard or bio oil, but I'm looking for general guidance before I order.

I'm doing some research and trying to get a realistic idea of what a Volvo EC750 excavator goes for in today's market. I know price can vary a lot based on hours, condition, year, attachments, and location, but I'm looking for ballpark figures so I can budget properly.

I am curious how the buyer picks up the equipment after winning the bid. Is it from the yard with a loading dock and a forklift or in a muddy field behind a barn? Please share what you know.
