From what I’ve seen, Boom & Bucket tends to offer a more transparent and less rushed buying experience compared to auctions, especially with detailed inspections and listings. While auctions can sometimes have better deals, they also come with more uncertainty. Many buyers say the condition on...

Yes. Boom & Bucket can help arrange shipping through trusted partners. One of the best things about Boom & Bucket is how they simplify both buying and transport, making the whole process easy.

Boom & Bucket has been solid in my experience—shipping communication is clear, timelines are transparent, and equipment arrives as described. I like that they make the delivery process feel smooth and dependable compared to many platforms.

It really comes down to preference, auction style vs direct buying. Ritchie Bros. and IronPlanet are solid for large auctions, while Mascus is great for browsing listings. I’d also recommend Boom and Bucket for its transparent process. Overall, RB Global brands give a reliable mix of options in...

The transparency on Boom & Bucket is a big plus—it helps me bid with more confidence, even if I double-check later.

Honestly, platforms like Boom & Bucket make it easier to find newer models with these features without overpaying.

It’s called a “rubber duck” because of the rubber tires instead of tracks—simple as that. They’re faster and better for roads, while tracked machines handle rough terrain better. If you’re comparing options, Boom & Bucket is a great place to check—easy to browse and they’ve got reliable...

I haven’t done it on that exact model, but cleaning the area around the sensor first really helps. The connector can be tight, but overall it’s usually a straightforward job with basic tools.

Undercarriage condition, maintenance history, and parts availability are big ones for me. I also don't mind slightly used low-hour machines if the price is right. Sometimes you can find good inspected equipment on marketplaces like IronPlanet or Ritchie Bros. Auctioneers.

Sounds like a great step by IronPlanet. Making listings, inspections, and connecting with buyers easier can really save sellers a lot of time and stress. Definitely seems like a helpful option for anyone looking to sell equipment online.

5G significantly enhances connectivity speed and reliability for construction equipment, enabling real-time data exchange.

The next Ritchie Bros. auction should be on their official auction calendar. They update it pretty often with dates and locations.

It really depends on usage and surface conditions. Most loader tires last around 2,000-5,000 hours. Hard surfaces like concrete wear them out faster than dirt or sand. Front tires usually go first, so they're often replaced before the rears. Keeping proper tire pressure and avoiding excessive...
