Financing made more sense for equipment we expected to own for many years, while leasing offered lower upfront costs and more flexibility when upgrading.

I am getting tired of replacing transmissions with reman units every time one fails. I'm looking into rebuilding them in-house and would like to hear from anyone who has experience with 9630 transmission rebuilds. Are there reliable aftermarket parts suppliers for these transmissions? Is there...

Best practice is to always park forklifts in designated areas with the forks fully lowered, parking brake engaged, controls in neutral, and the key removed if unattended. Avoid blocking walkways, exits, or fire equipment.\

Has anyone dealt with a Case 650K stuck in forward all the time? Machine starts fine, but it keeps trying to move forward in F, N, or R unless the brakes are applied. Dash shows FNR correctly and there are no fault codes. Replaced relays, fuses, terminals, and even tried another drive controller...

Used log trailers can be great value,but I always like to see maintenance records too.. sometimes tye paperwork tells a better story than yhe paint job does

Dealer financing is popular because it's fast and easier to approve

I once ran a Caterpillar 740 during a really wet winter job moving dirt for railroad tracks near a biodiesel plant. The mud was terrible, but the 740 handled it surprisingly well. Worked night shift the whole time and honestly enjoyed running the truck, but those long muddy winter shifts are...

I'm having a strange transmission issue with my Caterpillar 140H and hoping someone here has dealt with something similar. 1st gear works every time, and 5th and 8th usually work, but sometimes I have to shift back to park first before they engage properly. 2nd gear is the biggest problem...

I'm in the middle of resealing the lift cylinders on my John Deere 550G and ran into something I'm not too happy about. On the left lift cylinder, I noticed the gland nut has a crack running from the outer threads toward the inside near the wiper seal bore. I attached photos because I’m curious...

On those older Caterpillar 621 machines, low clutch pressure, modulation issues, or linkage adjustments can sometimes act a lot like a bad rebuild.

OEM from the dealer for critical stuff like injectors, sensors, and hydraulic components, then aftermarket for wear items like filters, bucket teeth, and cutting edges to save money.

Yeah, ive seen a few around, looks like decent budget gear for lighter jobs, just wouldnt expect it to hold up like big brands if youre running it hard evrryday

you're usually looking anywhere from $50k - $150k dpeending on distance, permits and how many broken loads it gets broken into 😅

We went through the same thing, and honestly, it does pay off, but only if you actually use it. Where we saw the biggest gains: Less downtime- easier to stay on top of maintenance before things break Better scheduling- machines aren't sitting idle or double-booked Usage tracking - you see...

Hey guys, trying to find a CAT 197-3818 limit switch for the armrest on one of our machines, but the local dealer hasn't been much help. Looking into aftermarket options-just want something that actually fits and holds up. Does anyone have a go-to supplier or website for these? Any issues with...

I've been looking into top-heavy equipment auction platforms like Ritchie Bros., boom and Bucket, and IronPlanet, and I'm curious what's actually working in 2026. Which auction sites do you trust most?

Yeah, that sounds like a signal issue more than a hydraulic issue on the John Deere 250G LC.

I've been checking out Boom & Bucket lately, and honestly, the listings look really clean and detailed, super easy to find what you're looking for. It actually makes the whole browsing experience feel smooth and a lot more user-friendly compared to some other platforms. For those who've used...

Hey guys, having an issue with my Caterpillar D6C winch. It worked fine at first, then only at high speed, and now it won't pull at all. The drum just free-spools like the brake isn't holding. I've checked oil level, flow, lines, and the screen filter-everything seems okay, but pressure might be...

Ive been running slide-out drawers on my truck and honestly they save a ton of time not having to climb in and dig fir tools. Curious though, do youbguys prefer full slide-outs or a mix with fixed boxes for bigger gear?
