Here are some pictures of what I am trying to do.

I have a dilema. I am moving alot of dirt. Digging a moving is covered, but I really have no way to spread and pack the dirt that is dumped. I have been looking to buy a small dozer to fill my needs, but I also a have a MF1529 CUT. I have come across an older Case 310 dozer and the guy wants...

I was operating my KX121-3 digging and stratching some dirt. Went to move the EX and one of the track, the left one, would not move. I though it was the drive motor, but it will move backwards, not forward. I don't know, it might be the drive motor...I hope not. Investigated some more and the...

I currently own a MF 1529. It worked great when I first bought the tractor, but I now need a bigger more powerful machine, either the MF 1643 or the Kubota L4060 (new model that just came out, I think). I have not had any experience with either of these tractors, aside from sitting in them at...

This is it. The guy says it needs a new drive clutch. Is it worth it?

Looking at some used equipment for some land clearing. Found two dozer around the same price JD 450 $6100.00 and Case 450 $6500.00. These are older models in about the same shape, JD has less UC. Which one should I consider?

I bought a used KX121-3. Want to do the usual service, change oil and filters. It seem I can't fine where the hyd. filter is at on this thing. I know this maybe a dumb question, but can somebody point me in the right direction please.

In the process of buying a used Ford dump truck. I think it's an F8000 according to the VIN. I have been looking for a replacement rear drive shaft for the truck with no luck. New or or used it don't matter. The old one was cut down to fit an aux transmission that I have no use for. If somebody...

Like tractors, there are tons of pressure washers out there. I don't have a preferences to one brand or another...I just don't know what to look for. I need some advice, guidance on what to look for in a pressure washer. General use around the house and cleaning equipments. Like to not spend a...

Been reading about these "inertia" wood splitters like the Super Split, DR Rapid Fire, and the SpeedPro. The last post on these were a couple of months ago. Price for the first two (SS and DR) is a big factor and issues with the third (SP) got me worried about reliability. Has anyone got some...

Bought a used equipment trailer with hyd brakes setup. Set up does not work at the moment. I stripped down the trailer to be redeck and thought should I setup electric brakes or try to fix the hyd brake system? What are the Pro's and Con's of each braking system for the trailers?

I bought an equipment trailer from a guy for a steal awhile back. Getting ready to use it, I found a tire had went flat. No problem, right, just add air. Well, the rim is all rusted out and air is leaking around the rim. While looking for a replacement I found out the hub/rim assembly if for a...

I'm looking for a used mini-excavator. Found a Kubota KX 121-3, 2002-ish model with 5500 hours. Got a chance to run it, seems strong, but nothing to compare to. How much should I pay, or should I get it at all? Looking to by immediately.
