    Let's see your knife.

    These are the two Benchmade knifes I carry one of them everyday. The one was a engraved gift from my wife, the plain blade one. She got it for me when I thought I lost the other one. About a month later we found it so now I have two. My dad always carried a old timer 3 blade. He gave me mine...

    Will a 26g fit in a 12x6 low side dump trailer?

    We had a company do this on a commercial site and the excvator bucket slipped and on track came off and the excvator flipped on its side. The operator got a concussion and broke his arm. Then osha came in because someone got hurt, I think it was a around a $15000 fine for unsafe practice. I was...

    Will a 26g fit in a 12x6 low side dump trailer?

    New design for tractor tires

    I just got the Alliance 550 for my new 4052r. Haven't gotten to try them out, hope they work well. I was trying to decide between the Alliances and the R14t's. Hoping the Alliance's are little easier on grass and do have to run down some roads occasionally

    Mini Excavator Sizing?

    I have a 26g also, I love it. It does everything I need. I wouldn't mind a bigger counterweight. I looked a couple times, haven't seen anything that they make a bigger one. I was considering the 17g but got a great deal on the 26. I am happy I went with the bigger machine. I looked at cats also...

    Bought a new deere 26g

    You are correct about the 16 inches wide. Wish they would have designed that better But for what I mainly will use it for is trenches 18in to 24in deep. From where the pins are to the teeth is 27in so it should work good.
