    bobcat depth check system

    I know this is an old thread but DC has been out for a while now. I really am thinking about adding it to my E42. For those that have it, is it working out for you? Thanks

    As an owner of a pt80 I'd definitely would go for the asv if you can afford it

    Dozer blade

    Does anyone use one? Seems like a good idea on my pt80 but no one even rents one in my area. Maybe that's my answer. Thanks

    New Mini Buyer Seeking Opinions.

    Nothing wrong with it just one more thing to pin when using an attachment plus I think it would be pinned at standard arm length. I use attachments almost daily (swivel,breaker, or auger). Extra weight of the arm with thumb and attachments was a concern for balance and also the angle blade stuck...

    Be sure to try a grading bucket and or a swivel attachment. Great for cleaning up and final. Most times don't leave without them

    I have a 15 e42 long arm, cab great machine. The 040 is considerably smaller than the e42. In between e32 and e42. Stick with bobcat if they are already treating you that good. I use a lot of attatchments so I passed on the extendable arm.

    Assuming a loan on a hoe

    A guy needs to get out from under his hoe. Is there any way for me to transfer ownership of it and assume his final payments on the loan?

    It does ok we don't have a lot of big hills. You can always ask for more but they don't fit under the hood. Auto makes up for a lot cause you don't have to let off. You sacrifice a lot of turning radius on a larger hood

    That's a very workable budget. Dont rule out a Pete. Look for a box truck specd right and you'll be ok. Don't pass on an auto either.

    Most I've pulled with it is 28k on the truck and 33k on the trailer 61k total. Made it work. Usually it's around 50k total. Kinda found the trailer by accident. I wasn't looking for a triple but the stability, distribution and brakes were perfect for a single axle pulling what I do.

    I have an 05 335 Peterbilt c7 Auto with a 14' crysteel bed . Previous owner welded the fold down side up as I think it may have been tweaked. No problem though as the tailgate is perfectly manageable for 1 person. Really nice to load gets in most every place an extended cab long bed can...
