    tree removal pics

    I thought the same thing Lashlander. I pushed a tree that size over last fall and then couldn't move it. Decided to cut it off about 10 feet up from the root ball. As soon as the saw was thru the trunk the stump unexpectedly stood right back up. There were a couple of guys helping me and we sure...

    TD14's for scrap price

    My Dad has 2 TD14's that he is wanting to sell for scrap price. One is a cable machine and is parts only, but the other is hydraulic, has always been in the shed, and is in running condition. Scrap iron is up to about $225/ton here now so he figures they will bring about $1800 or more each, but...

    Bad Day!

    I used to work in a Freightliner dealership and had a cabover come in with a very simular problem. Both frame rails were nearly severed, with only an inch or so of metal holding them together at the top. It looked like stress cracks started at the bolt holes for a crossmember and just continued...

    Best coupler for my Caterpillar?

    I am now the proud owner of a Cat 966B. It will be a farm machine and I am thinking it would be nice to have a quick coupler system for easy change-over to things like forks, boom, blade, post driver, bucket, ect. Who makes a quick coupler for this application, and what is the best system for...

    Looking at a Cat 966B...Good machine?

    Okay. I got this 966B bought yesterday. I've never owned a wheel loader before so I am excited. I know this would be considered an old piece of junk to many, but to me (a farmer) it is like a new toy! Maybe my D8H dozer will enjoy the company of a 966B! The equipment dealer is going to...

    Looking at a Cat 966B...Good machine?

    I am looking at a Cat 966B that is for sale locally. It looks good other than the water pump is leaking on the motor. I don't see any major oil leaks. Seems to run and work good. Can anyone tell me if there is something these machines are known for that I should look for? It is kind of old...

    Silo demolition advise needed

    atgreene, I like your idea, but how 'bout I grill up buffalo burgers for all! Sure are a bunch of great guys on this forum. Too bad they are spread out all across the globe. Would be hard to get them all together at my place in Iowa for a demolition party, but the grilled buffalo burger...

    Silo demolition advise needed

    digger242j - Thanks for the help with the pic! Sqizzy246B - I would guess the smaller silo at about 50 ft. and the bigger one at about 60 ft. Does anyone think that by removing the lower blocks on the side of the direction we want it to fall (basically forming a hinge effect), that...

    Silo demolition advise needed

    I am interested in advise from some of you that may have experience in bringing down a couple of old unwanted concrete silos. These two silos are owned by my neighbor and located very close to his barn and machine shed. He would like to have them removed without spending much money, and I would...

    Fiat-Allis HD16B question

    I've been looking for a decent farm dozer to just keep on the farm for my own use. So far I have looked at a Cat D8H and a Fiat-Allis HD16B. Both machines are nearby and about the same condition and price. I test operated both and I think the 16B would be a large enough machine for me, and it is...
