    Got the new heavy haul

    After ordering this truck from Kenworth it's here! I've got a few thousand miles on it so far and it's been great. I'm really excited to see the power once it's broken in. It has the 600 horse ISX Cummins, 22,000 front, double frame and full diff lockers. I'm not sure how to post pics but if...

    Good deal on 320 E or keep looking

    I'm looking to add a 320 sized excavator to work next to my 349. I found a 2013 320 el with a coupler and thumb.. 700 hours and mint condition in the $160k range. Is this a good deal or should I look at another brand? New or slightly used is what I'm looking for.

    Need opinions on cat CT 660

    I'm about to purchase a cat CT 660 to pull an end dump. The dealer is offering a 5 year bumper to bumper warranty to try and move one of the last new trucks. Is there any reason I shouldn't buy this truck?

    Which high side demolition end dump?

    I'm looking at the 87 yard CPS Manac high side demolition and scrap end dump, also looking at the CTS brand. Does either of these choices stand out as the better option? Thanks in advance

    Which large skid steer

    I'm looking at a new bobcat 850 or a cat 272D with the high horsepower package for my demolition business. I'm waiting for their best quotes but I have a feeling the bobcat is about $8000 cheaper with a year better warranty. Which machine is better of these two?

    New truck?

    I've always owned my current T 800 but it's got 700,000 miles. I'm wanting to possibly add a new truck to take some of the workload off my current one. For all you that have bought new trucks with good warranty's did you regret it? My payment would be $1700 on a new one with a 5 year warranty.

    Which new work truck?

    I'm getting a new 2500 single cab work pickup. Won't be towing much until I get a skid steer in a year or two. Would you go gas or diesel?

    Final decision time.... Cat 349 vs Volvo 480

    I've been in the market for the 349 F or Volvo 480 E for a while and am about to pull the trigger on one, I'm leaning towards the Volvo. What's your guys opinion on these machines?

    Personal guarantee

    I'm putting $80,000 down on a new excavator with the purchase price of $379,000. I would not like to have to do a personal guarantee. With this much money down is it reasonable to not have to sign one?

    Best new 50 ton hoe

    I'm looking at new 50 ton excavators. I've got another thread on the Volvo 480 E but all my local dealers are really pushing to get this deal. What's everyone's opinions on what the better 50 ton machines are? Hyundai is priced very nice on a new 480-9A but I'm a bit leery on these.

    Which brand bucket for demo?

    It's looking like I'm buying a Volvo 480E for large demolition projects. I'm looking at 66" severe duty bucket. My dealer has sold the PSM but there very expensive! $28k. They also can get work brau or geith. What would you guys recommend?

    Mack ch613 opinion

    I own a t800 right now and I love it. I'm looking for another truck and the kenworth with low miles is just too much. I've found some 2002 ch613's with around 200,000 miles with the 427 motor for really attractive prices. I have no experience with Mack. Would this be a good truck to buy? Thanks...

    Volvo 480 E

    I'm possibly looking at buying one of these but haven't heard anything about the new E series. I've owned a 360B that was a really solid machine. What's everyone's opinion of the new E series volvos?

    Best Demolition excavator.

    I'm not posting this to start a war whatsoever. I'm in the market for a larger excavator for strictly demolition use. I've used a volvo ec 360 b and a cat 320 cl for lots of demolition use. Both worked well but the cat was very loose in the bucket pins at only 3000 hours. What's everyone's take...
