I usually start with auction sites and then check dealer listings, it's a solid way to ballpark value without guessing too low!

Totally with you all! sharp teeth, proper water flow, and a steady pace are key. For stubborn spots, I usually tighten the cut pattern and drop the depth just a hair, which makes a big difference without stressing the planer too much!

I’ve seen the Wirtgen W 210 Fi in action too it's super smooth cut and the automation features really boost efficiency. Solid choice for big resurfacing jobs!

I’d say it really comes down to what you value more about speed or price. Dealers make things fast and hassle-free, but selling direct can definitely fatten your wallet if you’ve got the time and patience. Anyone found a sweet spot between the two?

Hey @SteelToeJoe and @Michael Race, I get the value of relationships and timing, but sometimes I feel like bulk buying locks you into more than you actually need, especially with fluctuating project scopes. I think mixing bulk orders with spot buys based on real-time needs can be smarter, so you...

Hey @Andrewcollins, one thing I’ve found super helpful is syncing the crew’s timing with the paver’s speed, its keeping everyone on the same page really cuts down on waiting around. Also, regular machine checks before starting can save a ton of hassle mid-job. Anyone else got cool hacks for...

Totally agree, BIM and 3D modeling have taken the guesswork out of planning. Being able to spot clashes before boots hit the ground is a huge time and money saver. Plus, having everyone, engineers, subs, and clients—on the same page visually keeps things running smoother.

Solid breakdowns here already! Just to add that if you're running sensitive electronics, inverter's the safest bet because of the clean power output. For job sites, I lean portable for flexibility, but yeah, they can guzzle gas and get loud. Standby units are a set-it-and-forget-it solution if...

Definitely been there, Cindy! Some of the most common generator problems are dead batteries, clogged fuel lines, dirty air filters, and bad spark plugs. Battery issues are usually from lack of its keeping it on a regular start-up schedule helps. If it’s sputtering, check the fuel and air...

Yeah, it’s wild how smooth that motion is for something so massive! Do different types or sizes of excavators use different swing systems, or is it mostly the same setup across the board? Curious if mini-excavators work the same way.

Hey everyone, Does anyone have tips on how to optimize fuel efficiency with wheel loaders? I’m looking for strategies to reduce fuel consumption without compromising performance, especially during long work hours. Any advice on maintenance practices, attachments, or operational techniques that...

For sure, when checking out a used excavator, hours and service history are just the start. You definitely want to dig into the undercarriage wear (that’s big $$$ to fix), test all hydraulic functions for smoothness and power, and watch for play in the swing bearing. Check for any error codes or...
