    need to buy a good underground utility locater ?

    Excavator bucket seems to work great. Funny enough, I trenched power to a sign that had buried 7200v, fiber, phone, cable going across like it was a spider web, no problems. Using a clapped out Deere 310A, about had to cast out the bucket as it was so loose. Boring outfit comes to install...

    Help Inspecting Undercarriage - 977H

    Plenty of life in it. I've run stuff so worn the sprockets just had nubs Not like running it is going to ruin anything that isn't already worn. I forget, if it's D6 or D7 that uses same tracks. 8" pitch i think.

    Ramps for loading skid steer on F800 flatbed

    Yeah mine are bananas. Allegedly 5k per axle rating. "10k" rampd Well come to find they are really only 5k ramps and they expect only one axle ever is on the ramp.

    Hitach pump failed

    Amen. I've seen low hour excavators at Ritchie Bros that you'd have to run like it was a drag like from all the slop. House stops turning and the bucket stops 2 seconds later

    AW 46 Hydraulic Oil quality
